Most of my beliefs would piss alot of people off on both sides, but after getting kicked out of a bunch of public schools I got stuck in a private christian one, here's their "explainations"

Some questions for the christians:
At what point did god create dinosaurs? or did he?
Dino's were around before the "flood" they're refered to as leviathans in the OT
How are you sure that your religion is right, and others are wrong? Would god forgive people that followed the wrong religion and let them into heaven anyway?
There is no "right" or "wrong" religion, "Religion" as we see it today is unimportant, your personal faith and relationship wih who you call "savior" are all that matter, even tribesmen in the amazon have some concept of a "god". what you believe is less importnant than the fact that you believe
Did noah put every sub species of animal on his ark, and why did they not eat each other? Are we all descendants from Noah?
Much of the OT is alegorical and not literal, it's the theme of the story that's important not the details
If we all descended from adam and eve (and/or noah), and if evolution doesnt exist, then why are we different colours?
Refer to the "tower of babel" story in the OT. Evolution doesn't have to take place for adaptation to occur.
When god was creating the universe, who was watching to then write about it later? or did he tell Adam and Eve about what he did?
The first 5 books of the OT were written by Moses as told to him over his lifetime by God
How come snakes can no longer talk? Was this a punishment by god?
In the garden of eden adam and eve could talk to all the animals, our not being able to talk to them is our punishment
Where is the garden of eden? was it supposed to be on earth? or on another plain of existence?
At the intersection of the tigris and euphrates rivers in what is now Iraq, God destroyed it after kicking A&E out
I'm not having a go with these questions, I would just like to know what people believe....?
oh and about the whole "God created the world in 7 days" thing, they were God days, not our days, they could be billions of years long each.
And God can create things "with the appearance of age" Adam and Eve were adults when they came into existance, not newborns, who says God couldn't do the same thing with the rest of the universe?
I'm not saying that I belive all this stuff, but its what they tried to teach us.
