Someone got my question deleted, lol. Is the world 6000 years old?

Question

Ok, so I called people that believe the world is 6000 years old R-tards. Well, I apologize, I guess. In my best guesstimation, I figure you're "mentally challenged". So is the world that new? Please, indulge me with your wisdom!

Answer 1

No. the world is not 6000 years old, because one of the proofs they have is a 4500 year old tree, and yes there is a very few trees in the world, at that age, but what about petrified trees or petrified forest, dated about 15 million year, young earth doesn't account natural forest fire, earth quakes, floods and droughts that could make or break a tree or forest, but petrified trees keep a record which proves young earth is wrong. How about DNA: god made man (Adam) and woman (Eve) as we are today, human beings with no common ancestor. Why is a man's DNA (Adam) 80,000 years younger than a woman's DNA (Eve), who was Eve's husband first husband, an animal/beast; or maybe it is evolution that tells the truth, and they don't want to believe it.

Answer 2

Some people do indeed believe that, though i'm not one of them. They have various explanations for the problems you mention. For instance, they would claim that most fossils are not found in igneous rocks and cannot therefore be dated by the methods you mention, and that since the original composition in terms of isotope ratios is unknown, this casts doubt on methods using radioactivity. They also claim there are anomalies in dating, which do exist. For instance, there are lava deposits in Hawai'i known to be just a couple of centuries old which radioactive dating suggests are millions of years old when they clearly aren't. There is also a method called amino acid racemisation which involves the proportion of amino acids in a sample which change chirality, used to measure items which are too old for carbon dating but too young for other methods. This depends on temperature, so that's their explanation for that. Their explanation for the fossils is that some of them are more streamlined or heavier and therefore sank to the bottom during the Flood, hence their apparently being sorted into differently aged strata. I think you can turn this whole thing round though. The Bible says that people should be meek and humble. Believing the planet is only six thousand years old is arrogant and self-centred. Therefore it is anti-Christian to be a young Earth creationist. Scientific evidence isn't the point at all, and in fact is being used to cloud the issue. The true issue is that creationism is contrary to a Christina outlook on life because it doesn't exhibit humility in the face of God's creation. Scientific arguments are the wrong kind, as they misunderstand the nature of scientific method and will therefore be able to manufacture with any number of unfalsifiable arguments against evolution. However, what these arguments show is their arrogance and opposition to the will of God in Christian terms, and that's where to get them. Nothing to do with science, it won't work.

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

Does not say when or how long ago.

><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><>
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.

Answer 4

The Genesis account of creation allows for the earth to be billions of years old and does not limit each creative day to 24 hours. (Genesis 1:1, 5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31; 2:3, 4) An honest appraisal of the Bible shows that while it is not a science textbook, it certainly is not “sheer nonsense.” It is, in fact, in complete harmony with proven science.

Religionists maybe fundamentalists may say that earth is 6000 years old (remember galileo too, religious leaders werent happy because of his theories), thats just them, but the bible does not say that....Im just tellling you, some religious leaders do not actually know the bible. ;-)

Answer 5

The Biblical record indicates that it has been about 6000 years since Adam and Eve left the Garden of Eden. I has been about 4300 years since the flood of Noah.
What I believe is that events on this earth have taken place faster than science can explain. I believe that the evolutionary process was a part of God's creation and that it happened faster than science can explain. I also believe that the creation itself occurred over an indefinite period of time. It took six creative periods, called days in the Bible. Those periods were probably not the same as our current 24 hour cycle. Even if we use the Biblical definition of 1000 years to one of God's days, we still may not have the time periods properly defined. I believe these details are basically unimportant to my personal salvation. When I get to the other side, I will learn more about what took place down here. In the mean time, I store up these tidbits of knowledge and fit them in where I can, like a mental jigsaw puzzle. I believe in modern revelation, that God can and does talk to mankind today, both via His prophets as well as personal answers to prayers. He said He created the earth in six creative time periods and I believe it. He said that the history of HIs children here on the earth encompasses about six thousand years and I believe that as well.

Answer 6

If the world was as old as it needs to be for evolution (I forget how many hundred million years the last estimate was) all of the continents would have already eroded into the sea hundreds of thousands of times over. Scientists believing in an old world have no good explanation for this -- there is no evidence of any significant geological upheaval that could renew the continents.

Don't even get me going on evolution.

Answer 7

Geochronoligists show that the sun is burning up and shrinking. That makes sense. It is shrinking because it is burning up fuel. You burn gas, your gas tank empties. They show that the massive sun is burning up and shrinking at 6 feet per hour. If we take this and go backwards, then a million years ago it would be twice its size making it too hot for life to exist on earth and 10 million years ago it would have been so big it would have touched the earth.

There are many other pieces of evidence just like this.

Answer 8

Not all Christians believe that. I believe God created the world no matter when it started.

Answer 9

Theres plenty of people with high intellegence who are 'mentally challanged". The term you are looking for is 'people with cognitive (or intellectual) disabilities' .

Answer 10

no the word is 4.5 billion years old
