Why dont people believe that earth is just 2406 yrs old,there was no life on earth before that?

Question

scientist r just telling lies

Answer 1

Do you live in a cave? After reading your questions, which mostly bash other religions, those questions and all of your questions are incredibly ignorant. Really lame.

Answer 2

Because scientists have given logical, solid proof that not only was the Earth around over 2406 years ago, there was life before the existance of Mankind.
Now I would like to ask why people don't believe that the Earth is many thousands of years old? Why do people accuse freethinkers of lying without giving any argument to back it up? And on what authority is the Bible correct about the lifespan of the world? It was hand-written by humans, after all. And originally in a language that we have trouble translating accurately.

Answer 3

Yes yes the scientists that do things like carbon dating and other tests with technology, oh the same tech sometimes used by doctors to treat patients, are all being fooled by the technology. Just like doctors kill every patient they treat. Oh wait no that doesn't happen, doctors do treat patients that live. huh, guess those scientists are right too.
tell ya what. I can show proof that things older than 2406 years exist. Can you please show me proof your "God" exists? See, the more I have studied that mumbo-jumbo called "science" the more reasons I have found for the need for a Creator. Just look at how complex, interdependent, yet elegant, awesome and simply beautiful the universe is. Only a really "all powerful" entity could have created it all to make it work right...right? I just haven't found a MAN made religion--and there are only man made religions--in existence yet that explains or knows what the real Creator is.

Answer 4

Well gee. I don't know. Maybe cause there is proof that there were people on earth a lot longer. I don't need a scientist to prove that to me. I have eyes. I have seen things that were a lot older than 2406 years old.

Answer 5

2406? Where does this number come from? Considering that there is plenty of historical documentation, even if you just go by human written records rather than scientific facts, show people around 6000 years ago. Even believing in a 6000 year old earth shows some sort of actual, verifiable knowledge, since that's when writing began.

Answer 6

Its actually from this year 5766 years old. Have you read in the Bible about the flood and Noah? Floods and natural disasters can make the earth age much more quickly, therefore making the earth look a few billion years old. Its a very complex topic which scientists won't have even heard. Dinosaurs existed long before this earth was created.(that was a minor summary) The Bible has explanations that can be interpreted by the right people with ease. Moses physically wrote it. It was "dictated" in a manner to him by God.

Answer 7

I feel sorry for you.

Even if the Scientist are lying, you'res still off- the genealogy of Christ which is traced in the Bible goes further back than that.

I'm not a propnent of Catholocism or Christianity, nor am I a God fearing Person, but even i know that much.

Answer 8

There was life on Earth 2406 years ago, even human life.
Carbon dating tests confirm it.

Answer 9

I do not know where you came up with that number of years, but the Jews start their calendar from creation and it is now around year 5767. The Christian Calendar dates back 3200 years BC.

I heard of a Rabbi that would tell you despite scientific evidence that the World is millions of years old, God simply created the world 5767 years ago millions of years old.

Answer 10

Even 6000 years is not the correct. Lord Krishn tells in Bhagwad Gita (8.17) the truth http://www.bhagavadgitaasitis.com/8/17/en
Also pasting the purport by His Devine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupad here:

The duration of the material universe is limited. It is manifested in cycles of kalpas. A kalpa is a day of Brahmā, and one day of Brahmā consists of a thousand cycles of four yugas, or ages: Satya, Tretā, Dvāpara and Kali. The cycle of Satya is characterized by virtue, wisdom and religion, there being practically no ignorance and vice, and the yuga lasts 1,728,000 years. In the Tretā-yuga vice is introduced, and this yuga lasts 1,296,000 years. In the Dvāpara-yuga there is an even greater decline in virtue and religion, vice increasing, and this yuga lasts 864,000 years. And finally in Kali-yuga (the yuga we have now been experiencing over the past 5,000 years) there is an abundance of strife, ignorance, irreligion and vice, true virtue being practically nonexistent, and this yuga lasts 432,000 years. In Kali-yuga vice increases to such a point that at the termination of the yuga the Supreme Lord Himself appears as the Kalki avatāra, vanquishes the demons, saves His devotees, and commences another Satya-yuga. Then the process is set rolling again. These four yugas, rotating a thousand times, comprise one day of Brahmā, and the same number comprise one night. Brahmā lives one hundred of such "years" and then dies. These "hundred years" by earth calculations total to 311 trillion and 40 billion earth years. By these calculations the life of Brahmā seems fantastic and interminable, but from the viewpoint of eternity it is as brief as a lightning flash. In the Causal Ocean there are innumerable Brahmās rising and disappearing like bubbles in the Atlantic. Brahmā and his creation are all part of the material universe, and therefore they are in constant flux.
In the material universe not even Brahmā is free from the process of birth, old age, disease and death. Brahmā, however, is directly engaged in the service of the Supreme Lord in the management of this universe — therefore he at once attains liberation. Elevated sannyāsÄ«s are promoted to Brahmā's particular planet, Brahmaloka, which is the highest planet in the material universe and which survives all the heavenly planets in the upper strata of the planetary system, but in due course Brahmā and all the inhabitants of Brahmaloka are subject to death, according to the law of material nature.
