Answer 2

No.

There are 7 Ages, starting with the 7th and last age and working backward it goes like this.

Time to God the Father, who is in heaven, is done in increments of 4 except the 7th Age. The 7th Age has been shorten, to Half time.

7th Age = A HALF TIME

Little seasons = 20 years
7 Little seasons = 140 year
Season = 140 years
7 Seasons = 980 years


6th Age = (2nd Time in) TIMES
Little season = 40 years
7 little seasons = 280 years
Season = 280 years
7 Season = 1960 years

5th Age = (1st Time in) TIMES
Little season = 40 years
7 little seasons = 280 years
Season = 280 years
7 Season = 1960 years


1st thru 4th Age = A TIME
4th Age
Little season = 400 years
7 little seasons = 2800 years
Season = 2800 years
7 Season = 19600 years

3rd Age
Little season = 4000 years
7 little seasons = 28000 years
Season = 28000 years
7 Season = 196000 years

and so on until you have finished the 1st Age
These Ages are of life then you have the Age before life.

The earth is 5,6 billion years old and the universe is 21,7 billion years old, but I only have a 10th grade education with a GED. Therefore, the figures could be a little off.

Answer 3

Sure, the Bible doesn't state how long Adam & Eve were in the Garden of Eden before they partook of the apple. They could have been there for a million years before they fell & were cast out.

Answer 4

It is, if the Bible is your only source of history. Maybe only *recorded* history is that old. History didn't stop happening in the days before we knew how to do things like make paper and drawing instruments, and learned how to read and write...if you didn't learn how to read and write until you were 5 or so, does that mean that you don't have any history prior to that, because you didn't know how to write it down?

Answer 5

No.

The world is about 4.5 billion years old. There is evidence to support this conclusion. There is nothing that points to such a young earth.

Answer 6

Nope. It is a little over 4 billion years old. There are so many ways to tell that that it is staggering that anyone would doubt it.

Answer 7

NO
The world was created exactly 5 minutes ago. We were implanted with false memories.

Answer 8

Quite possibly yes. Only if god had some sort of machine that aged the earth at an incredible speed.

Answer 9

No, its 4.5 billion years old.

Answer 10

uh...the world is billions of years, stupid

Answer 11

And then some, yes.
