Apparently those are the figures, I was wondering if any of you could enlighten me on this, and I would like to know if anyone here believes that the world is this young. If you do then I hope that you realise that the evidence is substantially in favour of you being wrong.

Haha, thanks cookie monster, I've already seen that video and enjoyed it intensely, I would suggest to you that you search: "dawkins root of all evil". You should find a very insightful 2 part documentary thingy.

joseph (answer above), your answer shows the stupidity of fundamentalists. Please read something other than creationist science or the Bible. You will be amazed at what you believe to be true that OBVIOUSLY isn't

no human being believes the earth is 6000 or some thousand years previous except the Bible says so. The Bible does not provide an age for the earth; so youthful earthers are incorrect. with techniques from extra up a number of the genealogies interior the Bible Bishop Usher got here up with the earth replaced into going to end in 1997 because the earth replaced into created in 4004 BC and ought to very last 6000 years. Titus 3:9 says to stay away from genealogies because they're unprofitable and valueless.

Sadly, I am not sure if that is false. Liberty University even had some old fossils that said 3000 years old of dinosaurs. This video will probably bring a warm feeling inside to you as Dawkins dispels this sad miscalculation with style...

I wouldn't be surprised if president Bush held that view. That would explain how he could get 45% of the votes quite quickly and still be a complete moron.

I would not doubt that number being higher. I have studied this for about 6 years now as a hobby. I believe you are behind the times if you think the earth is older. I will help you see clearer with just one very big clue (question). How do you "know" that the earth is older?. Find out how the fossils and rocks are dated. Don't just read a book about it-get into it. Learn about the geologic column and radio-metric dating. Don't just blow this off as lunacy-check it out- know the methods and how they are confirmed. I can tell you what you will find out- we don't know how old the earth is. Just a little over 5,000 years is the oldest date we can agree on. There is no evidence for a earth over about 7,000 years. Prove me wrong. Don't just disagree-check it out. Learn it, know it. You will "know" that "millions of years" is junk science based on speculation "only".

The people that insist on taking the bible literally do.
I'm not sure if that is 45%. There are a LOT of us pagans around the country, and the Native Americans, the athiests, etc.
I am sure the number is lower than 45%.

I dunno.
I'm a 56 year old Christian lady from upstate New York, and I never even heard of the young earth thing till I got into internet chat.
I'm not worried about it, though. I'm pretty sure God knows exactly how old the earth is!

That is what the surveys and the census results do say. It explains an awful lot of the worlds problems. The only places worse are poverty ridden Muslim areas in the Middle East and Africa or the Catholic dominated South American Banana Republics..

I think mankind has been on the earth for about that time, but the earth is probably much older. In the creation the earth was already there but just without form and void so that means it could very well be really really old.

The last ice age receeded about 10,000 years ago, but man has been walking upright for over 3 million.

I hope not. If they do, though, it's probably more out of ignorance than religious beliefs.
Remember, for the average IQ to be 100, a whole lot of people have to be below average.

Please keep in mind that 35% of Americans polled in 2006 could not say in which year the World Trade Center was destroyed. They know it was September 11th, but of what year? No clue.
