How do you explain that based on you "biblical" timeline of when God created the universe? Or do you just ignore facts, evidence and science altogether?

Were those scientists there 13 billion years ago as proof? Apparently you ignore facts, evidence and science presented by creationists.

No, scientists have not "determined" (be careful of that word) that the Earth is "13 billion years old". That is an evolutionary slant, a faulty interpretation of facts. Have you ever wondered where they get those "millions of years" dates, when they weren't there to observe it? They get it from faulty dating of rocks which go back 200 years to a book entitled "Principles of Geology" by Charles Lyell, who was an atheist lawyer. It was he who first postulated that the layers of the Earth represented millions of years. About a hundred years later, when fossils were being heavily excavated, that scientists began to postulate that fossils at the bottom were older than fossils near the top of these layers, and they began dating the rocks by what kinds of fossils it contained. They also date the fossils by what layer of rock it came from - which is circular reasoning! So they have a preconceived bias by which they base all their dating of rocks, which is inherently incorrect. When they use radiometric dating on rocks, they throw out 99.9% of the dates they get, because they don't fit this preconceived notion. Ask a scientist to carbon-date a dinosaur bone, and they won't do it, because they say that carbon-dating is only good for 50,000 years or younger, and dinosaurs don't fit that because of that preconceived notion that dinosaurs lived "millions of years ago." Scientists are not very scientific, but more religious on these matters. They are just as biased as they accuse us of being. Whenever I see an article in the paper or on the internet about scientists having discovered the "age" of something, I just want to laugh, and I don't take it seriously. It's a case of the blind leading the blind.

OK Lets see if I can help.
Scientists have used reason and experimental evidence to determine when the Universe was formed, how the planets were formed and when the various strains of life evolved into the wonder we see today.
Alternatively this beared guy created life and everything we know in a week eons ago and still had time to take a day off.
Thats a tough one. I can see your confusion.

Christians might thought in creationism, a concept that via remark that the Universe is created via layout. remark that reassures faith. Creationism isn't a scientific concept that explains scientific data making use of the scientific approach the place a actuality is an remark via human beings self sustaining of area. Creationism is a thought per remark. Christianity is a concept that God revealed God to guy. And Jesus is the way, the reality and the existence. no one gets to the daddy different than via Jesus. that is what Jesus taught. Christianity is per revelation. answer: we've 2 thought systems: remark and revelation. prepare one thought device to a various in simple terms skill we've at a loss for words the two. Christians look for God's kingdom, a kingdom not of this international. that is not an remark yet a thought in what God has revealed.

The Bible never says when the Universe was created actually, so it may very well be billions of years old.
LIFE on earth and in the Universe is recent, the Universe itself is not.

I think it must be the latter...
And to those who would say that evolutionists are ignoring all the "facts and evidence" presented by creationists... um... WHAT FACTS??? WHAT EVIDENCE!!!???
The mad rantings of a CRAZY person over 2000 years ago???
Oh wait, perhaps you have a point... I would much rather believe some madman from a time before they even knew the Earth wasn't FLAT than I would believe science that is testable repeatable and PROVEN over and over again...

I suspect that they might say that either:
a) science is wrong because no one saw the universe being created, or
b) the days in the genesis weren't 24 hours days but, instead, were 2 billion years a piece.
Shrug ...

Which scientist?
How did thy determine it?
Did you know that at the rate the moon is moving from the earth, it would have been touching earth's surface only a few hundred thousand years ago?
Or at the rate the the oceans are getting saltier, that they would have been fresh water only a few thousand years ago?
Or that the helium level in our atmosphere is still changing, and it should have leveled off in under 10,000 years?
Do you know that there are rocks around the world that have human and dinosaur foot prints in them?
