is human history since Adam 6000 years only?

Question

Science say it is much longer maybe millions of years , Carbon isotopes say also that history of man is much longer , even the bible does not refuse this , because the bible does not say that Adam and Eve is the only human creation.
but what about STATISTICS world population is now 7 billions , in the year 1000 they were 1 billion , at the time of Christ 200 Millions anyway if you extend and interpolate the trend of population multiplying once every 30 years you find that it begins really since 6000 or 8000 years.
Which one should we believe : SCIENCE or STATISTICS???
SCIENCE = millions of years
STATISTICS = 6000 years
????

Answer 1

The probability of chance formation of the DNA for a simple self-replicating organism has been calculated at 1 in 10167,636 (a 1 followed by 167,636 zeros).

Based on physical indications, the earth could be much younger than evolutionists think. Measurable amounts of helium gas are continually gathering in our outer atmosphere. The decay of the earth's uranium is one of the sources of helium. This helium cannot escape into outer space. If the earth was billions of years old, there would be as much as a million times more helium than is there now. Given the amount of helium in our outer atmosphere, the earth is estimated to be 10,000 to 15,000 years old.

Topsoil and Erosion Consistent With Younger Earth

The earth's topsoil has an average depth of seven or eight inches. Top soil is produced at an estimated rate of six inches in 5,000 to 20,000 years. If the earth is billions of years old there should be a lot more topsoil -- 300,000 inches or more! Because of erosion, the amount of sediment in the ocean is gradually increasing. If the ocean had existed for a billion years, there should be at least thirty times more sediment in it than there is.

The moon and earth steadily gather cosmic dust. During Apollo missions, NASA scientists expected to find a 54 foot layer of dust on the moon because of its 4.5 to 5 billion year estimated age. They actually found 1/8 inch to 3 inches of dust, which would take less than 8,000 years to accumulate. Scientists know that without the stabilizing influence of the moon, the earth would wobble. This would create wild swings in temperature, which would make life impossible. The moon is essential for life on earth. The amount of dust on the moon, suggests that the moon and consequently life on earth came into being 8,000 years ago or less.

Answer 2

Your logical reasoning is flawed, because the rate of population proliferation is dependent upon availible technology. Technology didn't increase to the potential of the Roman Empire until sometime in the 400(?) BC, with the introduction of the aquaducts. In short, there's a cap on population growth based on the availible technology and resources.

CONCLUSION: the formula changes over time, so that "multiplying once every 30 years" is not the proper equation. Moreover, human beings might theoretically live like bacteria: we got to about 4 billion in the year 500,000 BC or something, and then all died of a plague or something. But more than likely, the resources and civilization just wasn't availible then.

FINALLY! What point are we deciding on humanity? I mean, humanoidish creatures might have existed millions of years ago, even if civilization only dates back a few thousand (like 10000 or so).

... and where'd you get your figures anyway? For the sake of arguement, I'm accepting the raw numbers as fact, but it'd still be nice to see your sources.

Answer 3

Radiocarbon dating is still based on theories and not empirical facts. There is no independent means to confirm it. Using reproductive stats doesn't work either, the further back you go, the longer people lived and had children later. Noah's first born came when he was over 100 years of age.

There has also been fluctuation in population density. During the Spanish flu pandemic, 1/3 of the planet's pop died, and all were young, healthy, and in their reproductive years. One half during the black plague years.

So, you can't use any specific pattern to estimate growth. As from Adam, he was created 6032 years ago. Add up the ages of the father when the first male was born in the bloodline of Christ, and remember, there is no year zero.

Dinosaurs were created 2000 years before Adam, as one day for God equals 1000 years for man.

Answer 4

I dont believe anyone on earth knows this question exactly but I would have to go with the bible and say really 8000 years for if you go back in the bible and start figuring exact dates, there is approximately 6000 years between the time When God created Adam and the year that Christ was born.

Answer 5

Well, I am gonna go with the fact that the Bible does say that Adam and Eve were the first human creations on this earth, and Bible chronology dates that about 6000 years ago, give or take very few. So I trust God's words more than I trust what scientists have developed to date things.

Answer 6

Believe in Science.
Adam and Eve were not the first humans on earth but the first who have to be known as the ancestors of the Jewish nation only. Even the Book of Genesis in the Old Testament had written that there were men (male and female simultaneously) created at the same day God created the plants and trees, livestock animals, wild animals that moves on the ground, birds of the air and fish of the sea and that was on the 6th day. A reason why Cain was so afraid to go out of Eden because feared he will be killed by anyone who sees him wandering and yet was able to reach the land of Nod and found his wife. A reason why there Gentiles who do not belong to their clan. This was made known to Jeremiah when he wrote that in Jer:31:27 " A day will come," declares the Lord," that I will put the house of Israel and the house of Judah with 'OFFSPRING OF MEN AND ANIMALS'.".meaning they knew there were people different from the Jews.
There was a part in Genesis that says "When the Sons of God saw that the daughters of men are beautiful, they married any of them they choose". Many religious falsely taught that those were angels who went down and took human forms and marry the one they chose. If you will look at Luke's Genealogy of Jesus, it says there at the end that Adam was the Son of God which would only mean that the sons of God being referred to are the Jews. A point where Jesus could claim being God's son in the line of David who came from Jesse who came from Abraham who came from Noah who came from Seth who came from Adam.
In many parts of the Old Testaments, there is always a Prophet who would write that God call the Jews his chosen people or his children. Being a Son does not mean people came from his own genes but a rather is a choice where these people are suppose to do His will whatever it is. 2Samuel 7:13 explains as how someone can be called his Son and He his father. It also states there how would be punished by the rods and will flogged by his own men should he disobey God's command. A reason you may find why Jesus was punished and flogged by the Jews before he was crucified by the Romans.
For your timetable, a day in God could be counted as a thousand years in human calendar. It may have taken another more thousands of years after the story of Adam and Eve was revealed to the Jews and were carved out in stones and written on the papyrus. Their days during that time may not have contained the hours we know now but it could be compared to a cycle of the moon to make a day and not necessarily the rising and setting of the sun.

Answer 7

wow this idea is flawed, there are many many things to consider here why our population is so low even though humans have existed for over 6000 years. first off, disease and famine have the capability to drastically reduce population look at the black plague in Europe. Also it was only around 6000 years ago that people started living in cities. before that we were hunter gathers, and that life style can't support nearly as many people as an agricultural society can.

Answer 8

Your statistics fail to take into account the change in average lifespans as well as catastrophic events, such as the black plague, which destroyed over a third of Europe's population.

Answer 9

Recorded history is only 6000 years. But, G-d had things ''going'' millions of years earlier.

Answer 10

Do you know that 68% of statistics are made up on the spot?

Do you know that statistics can be maniuplated to prove any point?

I think in this case I'll take science.
