Huckabee dropped quite a bit in my estimation - he showed himself to either be a fool or hack.
What exactly did you expect from a guy who thinks humans coexisted with dinosaurs?
Such a good scientist is hard to find these days.
God is almighty and all-powerful and all-knowing. He can do whatever he wants however he wants. Just as the Pharisees were exposed as not being obedient toward God cause they did not believe that Jesus was the messiah cause it did not fit their 100% views of how the world was and their program for when they thought the messiah would come, so are fundamentalists that say God could not do things as he pleases.
God could've created dinosaurs before he created humans, where does it say he did not in the Bible? The earth could be more than 6000 years old, where does it say it's not in the Bible? If you say God could not do the aforementioned things, then you are limiting God's power, and if you are limiting God's power, you're saying he's not almighty, all-powerful, and all-knowing, and if he's not those things, than what you're saying is he's not really God, are you?
You're making the same mistake Galileo's contemporaries made. Galileo discovered four moons that orbited Jupiter with his telescope. At the time believing that the sun and planets did not rotate around the Earth was saying you were an atheist according to the Christian worldview. By setting up his telescope so that everyone could see, he destroyed the belief in geocentrism. Christianity was not destroyed because this "central Christian belief" was erased.
If someone could prove to you the Earth was older than 6000 years and that dinosaurs did exist, it wouldn't make Christianity dead and you wouldn't become an atheist. So why do you base your faith around ultimately trivial matters that are irrelevant toward your faith? Having an open mind is not a sin. Thankfully, cause if there were less open minds in the world, there would be far less people converted to Christianity.
Place your faith in God, his son, and his abilities to do as he pleases, not in a bunch of rocks floating above our planet in the sky or that the large bones in the earth could not be older than our race. God left us everything in this world for us to discover for a reason. So nothing we ever find will disprove his existance. Have enough faith in the Almighty to realize that he's ultimately far wiser than you or I and as such does not have to follow a flawed human-created program or schedule for him to follow.
