Do you think the Earth was created only 4000 (ish) years ago?

Question

Do you think science could be wrong about the age of the Earth like they have been wrong about so many other things?

Answer 1

The planet’s coming into existence is recounted in the Bible with the simple statement: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Ge 1:1) Just how long ago the starry heavens and the earth were created is not stated in the Bible. The inspired Record tells of six creative periods called “days,” and of a seventh period or “seventh day” in which time God desisted from earthly creative works and proceeded to rest. These creative periods could have been thousands of years each. For instance, more than 4,000 years after the seventh day, or God’s rest day commenced, the Apostle Paul indicated that it was still in progress. Therefore, there is no basis for Bible scholars to take issue with scientific calculations of the age of the planet. Scientists estimate the age of some rocks as being three and a half billion years, and the earth itself as being about four to four and a half billion or more years. There is no reson to doubt the accuracy of these statements. However as to the creation of the human race, there are no actual records of ancient man, his writing, agriculture, and other pursuits, extending into the past before 4026 B.C.E., the date of Adam’s creation. Therefore man has been around for only 6,000ish years!

Answer 2

i've got faith its greater like 6000 to 13,000. How i'm getting that: 4000 years in the past a flood 2000 years formerly that backyard of Eden the hot testomony makes a remark that an afternoon is nearly one thousand years to God. So 6000 ought to truly be 13,000 if the 1st 7 days have been a one thousand years each and each. Are those dates thoroughly precise. probable not, yet i think of we are in a plenty closer ball park that billions and billons of years previous. have been dinosaurs alive with guy? particular. The Bible talks a pair of hearth respiration dragon (job 40 two) and there are hearth respiration dragon memories for the time of the international in cultures that ought to have maximum probable not at all had touch with one yet another while the memories have been recorded. not any further a strategies fetched than believing we got here from an unintended explosion, that created cells that grew into micro organism which grew to alter into fish that found out a thank you to fly and crawl which finally grew to alter into monkeys and apes that spawned human beings. Get real!

Answer 3

Science is definitely wrong about the age of the Earth. God created the Earth in 6 days, but we don't know how long His days were (12, or 24 hrs) in one passage of scripture it states that a day is like unto a thousand years, so there is no knowing exactly how old Earth is.

Answer 4

No, the Earth was not "created" to begin with. Science is not likely wrong. Do you honestly think that the light from stars that are hundreds of millions of light years away would reach Earth if everything was created 4000 years ago?

Answer 5

NO.

Read 'The Man Who Found Time' by James Repcheck for a more detailed explanation.

One of the functions of science is to discover the truth about things rather than taking everything at face value.

Answer 6

sounds like you need to study some science. the earth has been around a hell of a lot longer then thousands of years.

Answer 7

There is proof that the earth is a hell of a lot older than that, like millions of years old

Answer 8

Earth can be older than this. There are many proofs in internet.

Answer 9

No(ish)

Answer 10

No, because it's been measured (not estimated, guessed at, assumed, or anything else, but *measured*) at 4.5 billion years, give or take a few million.
