I think it was a good question. Anyway, the writers in Time magazine are for the most part secular humanists who do not give any credit to the creation theory and don't have any interest in God so what can you expect. That is why I ignore most of those articles. I did hear someone on the radio say that God loves to "confuse" those type of people and when he created the earth, mountains, etc, he may have made the originals "old" if you know what I mean. Say the first mountains had the attributes of mountains a million years old. Who knows. But I choose to believe God and not the humanists.

I'm christian, and I believe the earth is very, very old, but not quite 13 billion. How did they come up with that particular number anyway? Why not 7 billion, I could have actually believed 7 billion, but 13 just doesn't work. This doesn't discredit God anymore than the theory of a big bang out of nothing does. All are scientific theories, no more, no less. I realize that many atheists refuse to comprehend that the word "theory" is not "fact", as they constantly tell us on YA that ape to man is fact, so they obviously have no concept of the meaning of the word theory, but still you'd think some of you woud get it. Just goes to show that all that nonsense about atheists being of higher intelligence is simply hogwash, considering most of them apparently have difficulty comprehending the meaning of simple words.
Face it, we'll never have all the answers, the universe is full of mystery, and it will remain that way.

First off, how can they really tell 13 billion from 13 thousand? Imean, really, when it gets so old, it all looks the same! Ok, so I think the earth is alot younger than that, yes, and yes i am a christian too, but the bible doesnt say exactly how old the earth is, does it? Besides, before God created this world, and even after, we are told that one day is as a thousand, so maybe, the 7 days it took to create the earth is actually 7000, and from there it is easy to figure the rest out. I am sure the earth isn't as old as they say, but who am I to argue. Besides, what does it even matter anyways? we should be taking care of it no matter what, and our reason for being here does not change. Time is irrelevant in the grand scheme........

In 1927, Georges Lemaître, a Roman Catholic priest, independently derived the Friedmann- Lemaître- Robertson- Walker equations from Albert Einstein's equations of general relativity and proposed, on the basis of the recession of spiral nebulae, that the universe began with the "explosion" of a "primeval atom"—what was later called the Big Bang.

And that's just for starters! I hear tell some people want to deny that Joshua stopped the sun from going around the earth, like it says in the Good Book! Well, if the Bible says that's the way it is, then that's the way it is! The Eye-talian fella Galileo was probably just another communist agitator anyway, blasphemeing about God's solar system!

The 1st thing a Bible thumper would tell you is, "Duh, who knows how long a day was before God created the Sun?". Of course this is a child's argument that neglects the very simple fact that a day, by definition, is not determined by the presence of the Sun.
A day is defined by the time it takes planet Earth to make 1 full rotation on it's axis. That time is almost exactly (but not quite) 24 hours. So unless the dolts and Hellfires can make a case for the Earth taking millions or billions of years to make 1 rotation (without making me laugh), they need to stop spewing such idiotic contentions.
Hope this helps :)

If I'm correct, biblical time frames are different than real time frames and people's ages were mistranslated. For example Noah was said to live to be almost 1000 years old, but he was really only about 80. The age of the earth is estimated to be about 4.5 Billion years old. Have you heard about carbon dating and radioactive isotopes. The bible isn't 100% fact. It was copied by men for 2000 years. A lot was left out too by accident and on purpose to control the people. Ever hear of the grapevine game?

For Chris K, and the others who claim Einstein believed in god:
"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world (universe) so far as our science can reveal it." ~ Albert Einstein

You do realize Albert Einstein believed in God right? He even admitted that only a divine creator could have created the world. That's not his exact words but it was very close to that. Sorry if I misquoted. But he did say that.
