Well I don't believe the earth was made 6000 years ago. I trust the evidence science has brought forth - cosmic yardsticks and the like.
However, I have read many of your posts and think you would do well to take a course in evolution. A good professor will most likely teach you about the alternate theories of creationism. I am not advocating you believe them. I myself see truth in evolution. However, I don't think you have the concept of the propositions put forth by Creationists. Especially, one in particular. It goes like this:
The world was created 20,000 (or 6000 or whatever) years ago. However, God created it to 'look' as if it were older. He created it with mountains that were brand new, but looked billions of years old. He placed fossils in the ground. He aligned planets and set them on paths that would seem as if they had a trajectory that preceeded the true moment of creation. He sent light in such a way that it looked as if there were planets that were 16 billion lightyears away, thus suggesting a universe billions of years old. But it was just part of his creation. One could even use this to answer your question. God made a part of the world look like a previous human race had lived there and made glue. In reality, they did not.
So you see this is a theory that is indisputable. It may or may not be true, but indisputable all the same. It cannot be tested by science and so remains apart from science.
However, your aim is to disprove a theory that cannot be disproved.
I am not disagreeing or trying to persuade you to any one opinion. You make good points at times, but questions like these lack the essential understanding of your opponents.

The world is much older than 6000 years. Too many people take "the world in 6 days" as literally being 6 days. God is timeless, He could have taken eons to create this world, one tiny creature at a time. Why do so many people think christians don't believe in evolution? Evolution is a fact. The one thing scientists cannot prove, because it isn't true, was that we evolved from apes, though you gotta give them credit for trying. We did evolve of course, from early primitive man to the evolved species we seem to think we are now. And yes, dinosaurs did exist.

He made the earth longer than 6000 year ago, we don't know how long it was between the time that he made the heavens and the earth and when he first put man on it.
Millions of years could have passed from the time that he made the earth and when he said the light and darkness was the first day.
I think he put man on earth about 10,000 years ago, and I think the flood was 6000 years ago.
You would have to get out the bible and add up all the years of peoples lives to figure out when man was first on earth.

This was argued to death a couple hundred years ago. Why you bringing up ol' sh**?
But yes that was a pretty retarded idea. Someone once told me that the dinosaur fossils were put there by God to test our faith and that they didn't really exist.
I nearly had a heart attack after laughing so hard. Good times.
But I had no idea that the Sumerians made glue 7000 years ago, nice factoid!

Since the Sumerians actually made glue a lot later then what you might think. You evolutionists keep on pushing your dates back so that you may be right, and others might be wrong. Never caring that it might be not so. Never guesses that God might be. You would rather stay in your blind pits of folly. Which seem to be your most favorite places in the world.

The earth came into existence 4.5 billion years ago. The Chinese made glue before the Sumerians.

wow to ask a question like that shows how intelligent you really are. the Earth has been around for longer than that and I do believe in God. If you actually knew anything about religion you would find out That there are books writen before 10000 BC. but you already knew that right? i can tell by your simple math. get your facts right first before you make yourself look like an *** even more.

Theological scholars now teach that the earth is in fact more than 6000 years old, and it is in fact humanity which is 6000 years old. It is believed that there is a time span between the formation of the earth and existence of humanity.

all evidence is only as reliable the discovery. EVERYBODY makes mistakes. and theories of evidence have been proven false time and time again. we once were told that carbon dating was infallible but today it is said to be only used as an estimate. People spend their entire lifetimes searching for answers to questions that cannot be answered. hoping to be the first to solve the great mysteries of life. All they have to show for it in the end is a wasted life!

If you're trying to "prove" something, don't bother. You're talking about a group of people that deny the dinosaurs ever existed. You think they'll have some problem with ignoring some glue???
