Why do people think believers think the world is only 6000 years old??

First we know the earth has been here for atleast 5000, because of the written texts.

BUT!!! You have to factor in the years it took God to make the world, and of course, the years it took man to populate the earth....

so again, why do people think believers(christians, Jews, Muslims) think the world is only 6000 years old???

This great article, "How Not To Convert An Atheist" http://www.ebonmusings.org/atheism/hownot.html from Sinister Cat got me thinking....

What do Christians find most irritating when being talked to about their faith? I would assume #1 would be "We're not all bible literalists!!!"

What bugs you? (And check the link - it's a great article)

and not moderate Muslims. . ..do they think the Devil likes or dislikes what they do? Does the Devil hate that they kill or love that they kill?..If the Devil loves destruction and death, which I think is his first love...then who do the radical Musllim worship God , the Devil, or neither? Maybe they just worship themselves and the power they yield over each other.

Geologists view crude oil and natural gas as the product of compression and heating of ancient organic materials over millions of years...

But if the earth is only 6000 years old, how can we possibly have oil? And if God "just made it" why doesn't he just make more?

Genesis 32:25 When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he struck him on the hip socket; and Jacob's hip was put out of joints as he wrestled with him.

And I was told Jacob was wrestled with God. So Genesis 32:25-29 show that Jacob was on the powerful end.

So my question,

Is Jacob of Genesis 32 more powerful than God of Genesis ?

Did you also know that your utter contempt against Christians and anything to do with Jesus is because you are so filled with guilt that your coping mechanism is hatred toward what is right. That is why you have to block out any evidence that there is a God who knows what you are saying about him. I am sure some of you will demonstrate it in your answers. Nonetheless, God loves you and died for you. Your extreme opposition is clear evidence that you know that there is a God or you wouldn't be so defensive. God bless you Christians and atheists alike.

This is a review of the creation museum I found recently while actually looking up something about Pangea...lol

"they constantly come over the intercom claiming that everyone is guilty of sin and are just horrible people since the fall of Adam, and there is a scene where Adam and Eve are standing next to each other with Adam holding a knife (that looks more like a prison shank) standing over two brutally butchered animals that they were using to make clothes from. Now that picture is worse, the animals are covered almost entirely with blood, the animals are splayed open, their heads hanging off the stump looking right at the children "

I actually thought the guy was lying but after reading some other reviews I came across this picture...(Note pretty graphic..fake but nasty)

I'm wanting to see if there is one you can read straight thru, like a chapter book I guess, not one that has the actual wording, then translated in easier to read terms. Know of any?

Now, I'm a christian, yet i don't go to church (anymore...) apparantly i'm going to hell, says one of my old-school church-mates. ever since my church split apart (I'm a baptist) i've more and more been sick with organized religion, i see it more of a hipocracy and a power-mongery than a way to essentially go to heaven. i had some catholic dean/church-guy tell me the other day that god created all men equal... "its in the bible." yet, only the priests/pope can talk to god "directly." why is are they any better than i am? it doesn't make sense... and when you sit back and think about it....ALL (or at least most...) organized religions talk to people to convert them, not giving a rat's dairy aire about the potential convertee's current belief's...and yet, when encountered with a rival religion's own witnesses, get pissed cuz the rival won't care about their beliefs...its all hypocrisy. there's tons more, but not enough space. what's your guy's views? organized or not??

But if they turn away, We have not sent thee as a guardian over them. Thy duty is only to convey the Message. And truly when We cause man to taste of mercy from US, he rejoice therein. But if an evil befalls them because of what their hands have sent forth, then lo! man is ungrateful.

Does that worry any non-believer at all? You might say of course not, but let me explain. The Bible says that every thought of the people before the flood was of evil, all the time. I know we aren't quite there yet, but it isn't too much of a stretch to assume things will be at that level soon. Also, Noah preached for 120 YEARS! Don't you think people started laughing at him around year 5 much less 50 and 90 and on and on. Nothing ever happened! And it seemed like nothing would ever happen, until...you know the rest of the story. God tried to warn them, He gave them so much time. But all it did was show that their hearts were hardened to Him. It made His judgment all the more righteous. Put yourself in the shoes of the people before the flood. Would you join in mocking Noah?
"What evidence can you show us Noah?"
"It has been 120 years old man, and nothing has happened." "Your delusional."
The Bible has predicted it, you have been fairly warned, and the door is still open. Your move.
