How is the world 6,000 years old if we have proof its older?

Question

I mean, we have fossils dating back 100's of millions of years.
Dinosaurs.
Most scientists don't believe because they have the proof.
we know about the Big Bang Thereoy
AND evolution.

ALL OF THAT IS PROOF!!

HOW DOES GOD EXIST? I dont think he does, but answer me how please.

Answer 1

If a day to God is like a 1000 years, & a 1000 years like a day. Then the first 7 days are like 7000 years & 7000 years like 7 days. Adam & Eve died short of 1000 years & most of their children lived nearly a thousand years. I believe there were dinosaurs at that time. There were at least two dinosaurs after Noah's Ark, the Behemoth (Land animal w/cedar tree like tale) & Leviathon (fire breathing water dragon). Read Genesis, Job & 1 & 2 Peter.

Tree roots can be fossilized in moments in right conditions = water, powerlines, storms... (flood). KAr (potassium argon) testing would indicate an age of millions of years because heat was involved in the petrification process. Natural disasters (continent separation, earthquakes, flooding, lightning, water gysers, etc...) can cause things to be dated erroneously. Things dated millions of years old is BF (before flood) to me, or the time of Babel (BB) also because natural disasters (earthquakes, floods, continent seperating, etc...) were so severe that nations separated and living years were sharply reduced. Few would make it to their 200th birthday now.

Scientists don't believe in God because they don't have Faith.

The Big Bang Theory is not a big fart. When God Speaks with God's Faith, things get created. Listen to a speaker that is anointed with the God kind of faith. Very moving inside a person and God creates faith in that person.

The Theory of Evolution was inspired by the monkey god (who is not the creator). Just one of the many want to be gods.

God Is. Without faith it is impossible to please God, for those that come to Him must believe that He Is, and is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Faith comes by hearing, and hearing a Word about God. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing a Word about Christ. This is not a one time meal. It is a daily meal.

Build up your most Holy Faith by praying in the Spirit to God.

God is Love. God is Spirit. You must pray to Him in Spirit & Truth. Honest before your God.

Does Love exist? I know He does.

Answer 2

My theory on God, is there has to be some supreme being. All the intelligence stemmed from somewhere.. we could not have just developed it out of the blue.

Plus, all the sh*t going on in the world, there has to be a better place when the world ends. This cannot be it for me. We were put here for a reason, and I want to experience it.

I also know about the Big Bang Theory, but I really want the truth.
How did the earth and planets and stars really form, and another thing- the planets rotate around the sun on perfect orbits? How is that possible?

These things are so complicated, there has to be some truth and I want to know what it is. I believe in God wholeheartedly. The proof of fossils also mystifies me. So interesting...

Answer 3

The truth of the matter is that the bible is but a collection of writtings by people aware of God, relating their perception of God, in a bid to relate to others that in which they believed, and thus the story of the creation of the world.

That said, it is incredible to look at the pictures from the NASA's website, take a trip to the Grand Canyon, or watch discovery Channel and not come to the conclusion that God exists.

God, "Omnipresent, Omnipotent", the alpha and Omega, that which was before the beginning, is now, and evermore shall be.

Even science teaches that all matter came from a phenomenon known as the Big Bang, but the question is What, or Who made it happen, can only be answered by What, or Who that made it happen.

Science using mathematics can predict and prove everything that may happen or exist in a reactionary manner after the Big Bang, but no formula can be applied to phenomenon before the Big Bang nor to non reactionary matter.

Nova recently had a series where it states that most of the universe is missing (non reactionary), no way to measure, or observe, yet we know it is there.

So God said, "let there be light".

Answer 4

Judaism believes the world is 5766 years old. We have proof scientifically that the world is older, so how do we resolve this conflict?
1. G-d created the world in 6 "days." Not necessarily are these days of 24 hours in length. Perhaps by days it means spans of time in which various things were created.
2. Judiasm understands that all things were created mature. So Adam was created as a fully grown man. G-d might have created the world an old world, with things that scientifically appear to have existed for millions of years. By doing this G-d might try to make his existence less obvious. Otherwise, religion would not be about beleif and god's existence would be obvious.

Answer 5

No, no, no, you don't understand!

You see, god was in a billion billion billion billion billion places at once, placing this atom here and that electron there, this photon somewhere else, about 10^10000000 atoms and particles aaaaallllllll over the universe 6000 years ago to give the _illusion_ that the universe is older! And of course, god made the fake dinosaur fossils and put carbon 14 in the bones to make it _look_ like they were turned into stone instead of being made that way!

Or you can deal with the reality of the Big Bang, abiogenesis, and evolution which offer much more credible explanations that fit all the known evidence.

And of course, I'm not ramming either idea down your throat. ^_^

Answer 6

The people who claim that the Earth is 6,000 years old are the people who take the Bible literally. The book of Genesis was written for an audience entirely different than it gets today. People didn't understand about fragments of matter being attracted by gravitational fields creating planets. They still thought the Earth was flat. As the story goes, God created the Earth and everything on it in 6 days. I choose to interpret it differently. The "days" in the story are just there to aid in telling the story and to show the sequence of events. Scientists' research shows that the evolution of species came about in the same order that it is stated in Genesis: water species, then land and air, and humans as one of the last species to come about. I don't see anything wrong with believing in evolution and also believing that God was the driving force behind it all. Can you imagine trying to explain to the people of millennia ago how evolution works by DNA mutations and natural selection? They'd throw you out of town! The book of Genesis is a story written by an inspired individual; call it a tall tale if you like, but all tall tales have their basis in reality.

Answer 7

To answer your question, we will look at the "proof" of the world's beginnings. Your first statement is that the world dates back to hundreds of millions of years. We have technology that dates artifacts, but this technology is unreliable. This technology has been known to date items less than 100 years old as being thousands of years old. Technology to date rock formations is even less reliable, using the halflife of radioactive substances as a referrence point. With these half lifes being so long, scientists have no way of knowing for sure how long they really are and are only able to estimate them based on observations and not actual tests (which would take possibly centuries to conduct). The Big Bang theory is another theory based on observations. And, as it is not proven as fact, many scientists do not accept this theory. But even so, where did matter come from? None of these statements prove the existance of God, which requires a leap of faith. In my personal life experience, I believe in the existance of God, and God continues to guide me. I have faith in God, whose gift of grace through Jesus Christ has saved me from my sins. I hope this answers some of your questions.

Answer 8

There is a small verse in the Bible that makes a profound statement. "A moment is like a thousand years." Sufficient to satisfy anyone with such a question as presented here. Further, there was a thriving civilization at the time of the Garden of Eden... Cain was banned from the garden and went to a far a way land and took a wife.. Many things are misconstrued because of a lack of actual knowledge of what is written... suggesting, most people don't read what they continue to ridicule.

Answer 9

As someone who believes in evolution, I believe that the world is millions of years old, I am also a religious person who believes that biblical passages are not meant to be taken literally, so the 6,000 yrs may refer to the first person who believed in G od, or the first humans after our hominid ancestors died. Many translations, no right answer.
As to weather G od exists or not? There is no right answer either, do not be fooled by people who say "because I feel it in my heart and know" "that's just what they've been told.
The truth is that there are gods in the minds of people, ones who choose to believe so, no personal reason can apply to everyone else. I do believe in G od, because I want to, the reason might change from person to person.

On a humanist perspective, maybe G od exists because he needs us, as much as we need Him.

Answer 10

Man has been on the earth over 6,000 years, but the earth is much older--many fossils have been found to confirm its age.
There is overwhelming scientific evidence that the oldest rocks on the Earth are 3.6 to 3.8 billion years old, that the oldest rocks on the Moon are 4.4 to 4.6 billion years old, and that the Earth, the Moon, and meteorites all formed about 4.5 to 4.6 billion years ago. This is not a long time to God, for to him a thousand years is as one day.
