Hey Christian internet folks!
So I was wondering, because I see both sides of this argument here on Y!Answers all the time and it gets pretty nasty. I dont think thats cool, on either side. Well anyway, I was hoping one of you could provide me with, or a link to, a timeline of the biblical theory/ fact of the creation of the earth and the creatures on it.
Growing up going to public school, there was always an evolutionary timeline on the wall... showing how over billions of years animals slowly evolved into new species. So I was wondering if there is a timeline of biblical events that could show big events starting with the Creation, and going through the ages with the flood, the rise and fall of civilizations, the existance of Dinosaurs, etc etc etc. Preferably a timeline from those of you who believe in the fundamentalist creation story.
(6 days+god=everything)
Please no "creation is fake" responses. I've allready heard that argument. Thanks everyone!

It's not pointless for me. It is something I wanted to know, so I asked a question. This is yahoo answers. I'm not using it as a message board and I'm not pushing any ideas. I don't care if this question changes any minds on either side.

Thanks but I was hoping for a graphical layout or at least an easy to understand explanation, not bible verses. But I appreciate the effort.

Here is a great biblical timeline from answersingenesis.org. This website is a great resource if you have other questions about the authority of the Bible. I encourage you to check it out!
You will need Adobe Acrobat reader to download the timeline.

Hope this helps.

Well lets take a fundamentalist view, from an Atheist!
How long in REAL time to create the heavens??
Millions or Billions of years.....
And the Earth, another couple of Billion years.....
And man, 100,000 years or so....etc, etc
And on the last day he rested.....OK.
So how long is SUNDAY, AND WHEN WILL IT END??
That is the real question, what will he think of his wonderful creation, and the moronic people he has made!

I am not a fellow believer....but I did take the time to search the internet for you. This site provides a timeline laid out by someone named Ussher. It should help. Scroll down about half way to view the timeline.

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.
The first 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.
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.
(GEN.1:2) 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.
