What if I told you I know for a FACT the earth is millions or billions of years old?

Question

But I told you I still believe God created it and I just have my own theories about those neanderthals?

Answer 1

I would say good for you, and continue on with my day.

Answer 2

well I would say you may think that you know for a fact, in yet you can not know unless you yourself are in fact millions or billions of years old. I know of no such person who has lived that long except The LORD God Almighty who is Immortal, Who is the Alpha and the Omega the Beginning and the End. There is no way you can have proof or know absolutely for fact that it is, and that you still believe in God, and that He created the earth yet you deny the Word of God and its truth, that He created it in six days, literal, no expansion need, the only reason science says that it is billions of years old is to even have the smallest glimmer of hope that evolution would work. They ignore the other facts of a young earth and a young sun and young universe. The same as you, and since you do not believe in the first 2 chapters of Genesis, then you have cut and pasted what you wanted and believe what you want, and so you put your authority over the very word of God that was recorded to tell you about eternal life.

Answer 3

Ordinarily I wouldn't care, but we atheists catch a lot of hell from believers who incorrectly define the word "theory." It is technically impossible for one person to have a theory about anything. What you have is a "hypothesis" about those neanderthals. A theory is solidly supported by the best available evidence, has withstood peer review, and has no credible detractors. It's as close to a "fact" as a scientist can get, while still remaining open to the unlikely possibility of new evidence emerging. Sorry to be so picky, but in a forum where most believers imagine evolution is invalid because it's "only a theory" it is very important to be as precise as possible with language.

Please understand that I, and most other atheists, have no problem with you having opinions of your own. All of us have our own opinions, as well.

hi i for my section do no longer think of the international became shaped some thousand years in the past, on the different hand I take 4.3 billion years with a grain of salt. no longer that some time past an atom became a blob of raisin filled pudding and then a splash image voltaic equipment, we had 3 states of count number and no vessel could ever ruin the fee of sound! With entanglement and expertise changing the possibility of quantum states, strings making an allowance for distinctive dimensions previous our 3 and attainable different international strains, I do see blurring interior the strains of branch between science and faith. in keeping with probability the way expertise has been suggested interior the previous w/o the language of modern-day science leaves room for questioning its validity, yet I examine very historic writings with regard to the 4 factors of Earth, Air, hearth and Water and a primordial 5th that seems lots like the latest great chilly state we in easy terms in the near previous have stumbled on, and the invisible aether is finding so lots extra like dark count number to me. do no longer throw out the opportunity of expertise considering the fact it fairly is couched in historic language or inhibited via dogma. The actuality seeker's stone won't be a hodgepodge of alchemical rubbish, yet some hint of a few thing lost or waiting to be stumbled on, as may be the secrets and strategies hidden in many historic religious texts. will we declare closed minds abound interior the religious community, whilst we are only as closed minded with our very own faith of spiritless science?

Answer 5

Curious... does it matter? One way or another, I would say it does not, not in the bigger skim of things. Look at life, knowing certain pointless facts such as how old the earth is, compares little to the importance as to whether to save someone or not. Will an innocent person care how old the earth is, before a murderer, will you? I guess...
Go ahead and know it, prove it, tell it, argue it, write it and so forth, but be aware, that it matters little.

Answer 6

Fine!! I have no problem, someone believing in a God.
Many cultures have had several thousand different gods, godesses and other entities.

The earth is old, but other parts of the universe are older.
It is fine if you believe they were created at different times.
After all what ever you believe everything didn't happen in one day.

Answer 7

I would say & do say...what the heck does it matter the age of the Earth? I am just thankful it is still here every morning when I wake up.

And hey, if you want to believe your relatives are apes and knuckle draggers....I say, you know your own family FAR better than I do...but none of MY relatives descended from apes.

Answer 8

Okay, brother, how can you prove your theory? It seems most facts now days come from scientist who are constantly proven wrong, or out and out lie to sell a book or paper. So what facts do you have?

Answer 9

I would congratulate you on accepting the scientific evidence of the Age of the Earth, then ask for evidence to back up your claims about the creation of the Earth.

Answer 10

If you knew it for a fact! Wouldn't you know whether it was millions or billions of years old?

Overall question that i perceive must be answered bi, OK?

Answer 11

Yes... Between three an a half and four billion years old...
so... what God has to do with it?
