From a scientific point of view, we know that first homo-sapiens ( not early humans ) are about 18 to 25 thousand years old. I personally believe thats within reason since cultures like India China, Eygpt, Japanese, and maybe even Inca are around 5500 to 10000 (India, and Eygptian mostly). The historical evidence is all over the world, but what I'd like to know is how old do Evangelicals in fact all conservative christians believe we are.
Oh and by the way I'm Indian so I know my history, we keep records all the way to the early Aryans 10,000 years ago.

Oh and by the way I'm Indian so I know my history, we keep records all the way to the early Aryans 10,000 years ago. I know Judaism is around 5000 yrs old, and know that the mesopotamian/ sumarians are atleast 8 to 10000 years also. If you deny their history you deny their existence altogether.

I like the fact that we evolutionists can say "we know" and back it up with evidence, whereas creationists can say "we believe" and blush slightly.

According to the bibles time table, humans have been on the earth for over 6,000 years.
The bible does not say the earth is 6000 years old. The planet earth has been here for who knows how long. The creative days are when God started making the earth habitable. Man was not created until the sixth creative day. We do not know how long each creative day was. The bible does say that to God a "day is a 1000 years" People will say "in my day" which is no set time. We are now in his rest day or seventh day and it has last over 6000 years. So possibly each creative day lasted over 6000 years.
There is no proof that any type of ape/man existed. That is a theory, with no proof in the fossil record. But yet the fossil record follows along with the Bible's order of creation. Whether there is proof or not, people will believe what they want to believe.

I gained't grant you with a thorough answer. i'll claim that the introduction account from Genesis is fairly akin to the introduction expenses from the Mesopotamians of that day. obviously the total Adam and Eve concern became unscientific and became the perfect way the author concept he might want to describe introduction at that factor and time. the biggest emphasis might want to should be *one God* (which became innovative on the prompt) and the autumn of guy(sin). the information of the certainly introduction contradict one yet another. case in factor plant life present earlier the solar?? Cart earlier the horse? perchance God did not create any conventional(clinical) regulations till after he created each thing? you should describe away a mess of inconsistencies to make certain that the introduction account to make any experience compared to the information we've gleaned from modern-day technology. that is harder than premiere a camel by ability of the interest of the needle...

THE BIBLE BEGANS WITH ADAM TO GIVE HIS TIME IN DAY SIX AND ALL OF DAY SEVEN AS TIME IS FROM LOST TO SAVED THE TIME BEFORE THIS IS NOT GIVEN
I conclude the whole time after Rev.20:6 1000 year day to have been 49,000 years.
This is domestication of the earth, that existed of time unknown. Adam found none for himself, so one was made for him. There should be populations different than what is consider the norm since Noah's family should have produced what we have had since.

We as homo-sapiens have been around for over 50,000 years and our ancestral lineage shows us that we could have been around even longer
