Creationists! If the earth and/or universe is young (ten thousand or less years)?

Question

....Than why does it take our solar system 220 million years to complete one revolution of the core of our galaxy?

also, since our solar system is around the same age as the earth, do you believe the sun is also only <10,000 years old?

ANd the universe too? <10,000? then how do you explain it taking the light from stars millions of years to reach us, being they are so distant, if it were that young, we would have a completely black sky!?

WOW me.
The ignorance is astounding, you obviously have NEVER opened an astronomy book in your life. Get an education kid. close your bible and wake up.

Answer 1

Nobody can pin an exact age on the earth/universe, contrary to what a lot of people believe the bible does not say that the earth was created in 7 literal 'days'. the hebrew word for 'day' which is used in genesis is only referring to a time period and there is no specific reference to exactly how long each 'day' was. It could have been many thousands of years, maybe millions. We don't know, but in any case the bible and science do not contradict eachother on this matter.

PS. the bible says that on the seventh day god rested, and he is still resting now, therefore we have been in the seventh day for over six thousand years already.

Answer 2

No creationists believe it took 10,000 years to create either the Universe or the earth. As we have said and for being a brilliant scientists you are sure slow. So listen this time.
God's days are not like man's some are thousands of our years for 1 day. The Sun wasn't even created yet. The earth probably took billions of years. Billions more making all the plants and animals. Most are extint today and yet look at the variety of life we have. This earth was anything but quick and easy.
Look how complicated just the eye is and it is different in every specie of animals. We said that man is a new thing. Barely being here perhaps 6000. of our solar years.

Answer 3

Well, if you were at all educated on the Bible you would know that 2,006 years ago Jesus was born. That is all the Bible says as far as time goes. The Bible does not dispute what science has found-it is the scientists who dispute what the Bible says. You must have some questions in your own mind or you would not have asked this question. In the Old Testament people lived to be almost a thousand years old so there is no way of knowing exactly how old the world is.
John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God."

Answer 4

I'm a creationist, but not a young earth creationist. However, your question is easily answered. Read the flood story and you'll find that the earth broke open and water ushered out of the "firmament." It has been theorized that the earth had an outer crust pressing down on a layer that was mostly water. This pressure eventually caused the crust to rupture, the waters flowed out, and as the crust was reshaped in the course of the flood the plates were pushed in various directions around the globe on their cushions of water. It's not an implausible theory, and there's even evidence to support the claim, though it's hardly an established fact.

Answer 5

Until recently, astronomers estimated that the Big Bang occurred between 12 and 14 billion years ago. To put this in perspective, the Solar System is thought to be 4.5 billion years old and humans have existed as a species for a few million years. Astronomers estimate the age of the universe in two ways: 1) by looking for the oldest stars; and 2) by measuring the rate of expansion of the universe and extrapolating back to the Big Bang; just as crime detectives can trace the origin of a bullet from the holes in a wall.

Astronomers can place a lower limit to the age of the universe by studying globular clusters. Globular clusters are a dense collection of roughly a million stars. Stellar densities near the center of the globular cluster are enormous. If we lived near the center of one, there would be several hundred thousand stars closer to us than Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to the Sun.

The generally accepted age for the Earth and the rest of the solar system is about 4.55 billion years (plus or minus about 1%). This value is derived from several different lines of evidence.

Unfortunately, the age cannot be computed directly from material that is solely from the Earth. There is evidence that energy from the Earth's accumulation caused the surface to be molten. Further, the processes of erosion and crustal recycling have apparently destroyed all of the earliest surface.

The oldest rocks which have been found so far (on the Earth) date to about 3.8 to 3.9 billion years ago (by several radiometric dating methods). Some of these rocks are sedimentary, and include minerals which are themselves as old as 4.1 to 4.2 billion years. Rocks of this age are relatively rare, however rocks that are at least 3.5 billion years in age have been found on North America, Greenland, Australia, Africa, and Asia.

Definitely older than 10,000 years!

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

first:
the stars taking millions of years to reach us, is not true. sorry, speed of light kid. the sun takes only like what, 7 and a half or 8 minutes i believe? stars dont take millions of years.



second:
how do YOU know that the solar system takes 220million years to complete 1 revolution around the core of the galaxy, has anyone had the time to actually sit there and watch for 220million years? yet alone mathematically figure it out (seeing how if you pick 1 star, or 1 comet, or 1 dust cloud or anything on the outskirts of our universe, and see how far it goes in a year, or whatever, then multiply it until it goes all the way around) is impossible, the amount of variables in that are endless. the sun grows in diameter and total surface area, it is continuing to grow, little by little, every year. earth is the only planet that can sustain life because if earth was any closer, or further, from the sun...then it would either be too hot, or too cold for life to be sustained.

Answer 7

Religion is not at fault, just the ones trying to interpret what God created. Science and religion are one and the same thing. Some religious zealots try to force their misunderstood view of the world upon the rest of religion and succeed somewhat. Way back when the biblical events were happening, the clergy had to interpret it and put a spin on it so the largely uneducated masses could grasp it. Outright lies were often used as religion gained widespread acceptance, so clergy could retain controll over the masses. It is still used today and even believed by a large majority of those poor misguided folk.
Science is just an understanding of what God created, and it grates on the religious zealots nerves that God let His handi-work EVOLVE from it's beginnings to what we have today. Science and religion should mesh hand in hand with each other. It does, but just as religion has a lot of false beliefs about God's creation, so too does science struggle with the same false beliefs, sometimes known as theories. What religion fails to understand, theories are just us trying to hypothisise a true intent or meaning. Facts get mixed up quite often with theory and scientists sometimes believe theories as fact. At no time does scientific fact disprove religion or vice versa, regardless of which side claims otherwise.
God did CREATE Heaven and Earth. The Big Bang shows us He did. All did EVOLVE since then to what is here today, still expanding and evolving for these billions of years since HE created it.

Answer 8

the fossil record is shown to match the general sequence of the appearance of living forms described in the book of Genesis. Furthermore, a creative day as understood by the ancients can mean an epoch of extended duration, in much the same way as the terms “period” and “era” are used by science in describing earth history. Thus, the Bible is not at odds with scientific findings. It indicates that the creative days lasted aeons. It does not support the conclusion of creationists who believe that those days were each 24 hours in length.

Answer 9

For the Creationists-------

I just had to chime in on this one. I've heard the argument countless times: how do you know how long a day was when God created the Earth and the Heavens? It could be billions of years.

This is an absolutely impotent argument. A day, by definition, spans the length of time it takes the Earth to make one full rotation on it's axis. That time is approximately (not exactly) 24 hours. So unless you can make the argument that Earth could have taken billions of years to complete it's daily rotation (without laughing please), you need to abandon this silly contention in the name of reason and sound logic.

Answer 10

Creationists do not believe anything that contradicts their preconceived notions. Ask Galileo when you get to heaven.
Hold on, you don't have to wait, just ask NASA scientists who were gagged by religious nuts from reporting data on global warming.
Then again Creationists probably do not believe in global warming, a round world or that the earth is not the center of the universe.
Religion is the anti-science.
