According to the various religions, when was the world created?

Question

2000 years ago....at the birth of christ?
10000 years ago?
5 million years ago?

Not according to modern science, only with accordance to religion and religious texts, when was the world (and everything on it) created?

I need an actual Number.

Not a phrase like when god said let there be light.

And a little explanation of your number.

Answer 1

Somebody worked that out once and came up with something like 4,000 years. Of course, it doesn't explain the dinosaurs but hey, it's religion.

Answer 2

We have an Educational system, where we have examinations and evaluations. Our intention of having an Educational system is to improve the standards of all, but only a few get Distinction. You have the results and find that few students fail too. The intention of creating the system was only to improve, but not all get improved. In the due course you find drop outs too. The mistake is in the quality of learners only and not in the system or the purpose of the system. Under such a condition, Will you treat all the learners to be equal in their performance? The opertunity given to every one is the same, but only a few excell,certain others become above average and a set of them go below the promotional level, while certain others leave the system as drop outs. If the drop outs accuse the system or the creator of the system to be unfair, then the observation alone is unfair. Do not say that since the system was created to improve the standards of the learners all learners admitted should have been selected with a quality to excell. If they already had the quality, where is the need for an improvement system at all. Please note that God created the Universe along with the livingbeings, with an intention to give them enough opertunities to excell, but those who avail it excell while the drop outs grumble.

Answer 3

The world was not created at the birth of Christ. If it were, there would not be an Old Testament.

The time line in the bible is told from a Divine point of view. Time probably has a different meaning to God than it does us.

Remember when an hour seem to take forever? Remember when writing a paragraph was a major assignment? Same logic applies here.

Answer 4

According to Creationists, more or less 6000 years ago. This is determined by calculations based on the Bible. Christians do not believe that it was when Christ was born. However, many Christians believe that Genesis does not attempt to give a scientific account of creation. They believe THAT god has created, and not HOW He created. Many Christians accept the "Big Bang" model, making the universe 13.8 billion years old.

Answer 5

Today is Fri, 8 December 2006, which is 17th of Kislev, 5767 according to the Hebrew calendar, meaning the world was created 5767 years ago. This date was calculated based on the figures ages in the Torah (5 books of Moses).

Answer 6

According to the Bible, the world was created created a little over 5767 years ago (per the Jewish Calendar...remember, the Old Testament is essentially the Jewish Torah).

Answer 7

According to the religion of evolution it was 15 billion years ago.
According to the Bible about 6000 years ago. This age is determined by looking at the recorded ages of the patriarchs.

Answer 8

From the Bible it doesn't say, Genesis shows it already existing. Adam can be calculated as 6031 years old if he's alive today. The days of creation in Genesis is not a literal 24 hour day. It's like an era. Like saying in the dinosaur's day, vegetation was abundant. the day on this sentence does not specify 24 hour period but a long time range.

Answer 9

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

There are 3 heaven and earth ages, same heaven and earth but different ages.

II Pet.3:5-7 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
……………………………………….
THE WORLD THAT THEN WAS
Gen.1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

To that earth age the world that then was, belongs all fossils and remains. Scientific estimates or guesses; universe or heavens 20 billion years old, earth 4.6 billion years old, moon 200 to 300 million years younger than earth, dinosaur extinction 65 million years ago, Ice Age 2.5 million years ago.
………………………………………………………………
BEING OVERFLOWED WITH WATER PERISHED
Gen.1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.

AND THE EARTH WAS
The word “was” (hayah) in Hebrew, was not distinguished by the Revisers, that is the verb “to be” from “to become”. The same Hebrew word “hayah” is translated “became” in Gen.2:7.
AND THE EARTH BECAME

WITHOUT FORM H8414 tohu (to'-hoo) From an unused root meaning to lie waste; a desolation (of surface), that is, desert; figuratively a worthless thing; adverbially in vain: - confusion, empty place, without form, nothing, (thing of) nought, vain, vanity, waste, wilderness.

VOID H922 bohu (bo'-hoo) From an unused root (meaning to be empty); a vacuity, that is, (superficially) an undistinguishable ruin: - emptiness, void.
AND THE EARTH BECAME DESOLATE AND EMPTY
Earth was not created that way but became desolate and empty due to Satan’s rebellion. A global overflowing of water, but not Noah’s deluge. Darkness was upon the (face) of the deep, in other words the whole earth.
Into this we can read; dinosaur extinction, destruction of Atlantis, breakup of Gondwana Land, and the Ice Age.
………………………………………………………………………...
BUT THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WHICH ARE NOW
Gen.1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Gen.1:3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

About 63 A.D. Peter writes, the heavens and the earth which are now. The heaven and earth age we are in now, today.
BY THE SAME WORD ARE KEPT IN STORE
RESERVED UNTO FIRE
AGAINST THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
AND PERDITION OF UNGODLY MEN
PERDITION G684 apoleia (ap-o'-li-a) From a presumed derivative of G622; ruin or loss (physical, spiritual or eternal): - damnable (-nation), destruction, die, perdition, X perish, pernicious ways, waste.
Some will perish eternally and not see the third heaven and earth age.
