12 billion years since the big bang and the origin of the Universe.
6000 years since God created everything, as was written in Genesis.
You do the math.

Here's the problem. If you take the Bible literally, then it's only a few thousand years since the beginning. Some Eastern Orthodox denominations say that one day of God's life is one thousand human years, which would mean that the 7 days of creation took 7 x 365 x 1000, or about 2.54 million years. Hindu beliefs about the universe match very closely to the modern scientific understanding, which puts the age of our universe at something like 15 billion years.
Ultimately, we all believe what makes us the happiest, because the purpose of life is the increase of happiness.

The Bible does not say. I as quickly as tried to discern it out via including up the a while of the persons interior the Bible and got here up with somewhat over 5900 years. a chum got here up with 6028 years. some people say to God a million year = 1000 years so it took Him 6000 years to create it yet that should mean He created the flora interior the 0.33 millennium, then one thousand years later the sunlight and, nonetheless yet another thousand years went via formerly He created the insect that are mandatory to pollinate the flora. that doesn't make plenty experience to me. as properly the Bible is extremely sparkling that an afternoon starts off at sundown and ends at sundown. i individually do no longer think of it concerns nonetheless. If God needed us to comprehend He could have advised us yet He did supply us indications to coach whilst the tip is close to and those indications are getting into being greater right now each and every of the time.

Most scholars say about 6,000 years. But, we have evidence to suggest that the earth has been here much longer than that. So, how does that square with the Bible? Well, the Hebrew translation of the 1st verse of the book of Genesis is this: In the beginning, the earth was laid waste and desolate.....
This would make the parables of Jesus more sensible, seeing that He regularly spoke of gardens in them. Who plants a garden only once? The Bible was written for the people in the lineage of Adam. Adam may have been the first man created on this "replanting" of the earth, but he wasn't the only one. And Genesis allows that since it reports that Adam's son, Cain, took a wife. God said that "male and female created He them; male and female created He him" which tells us that there were other humans that He created on that day.
Peace.

1) "the angels and the spirit ascend unto Him in a day, the measure of which was fifty thousand years." 70:4
This verse refers to the ascent of angels and the spirit (meant to be Gabriel) back to heaven after settling all matters of life in the universe.
The verse clearly said a day that "was" and not a day that 'is', which clearly indicates that that day was in the past (50,000 years ago).
2) "…a day relative to your God is equivalent to a thousand years of your count." 22:47
With a few simple equations:
If 1 day (for God) = 1000 years (for man)
1 year = 1000 x 365 (for man)
= 365,000 years
50,000 years (for God) = 365,000 x 50,000 (for man)
= 18.25 billion!
The 50,000 years mentioned in verse 1 are meant to be of God's years and not of man. That is because man was not mentioned at all in that verse, and more importantly because the subject of the verse (creation of the universe) is obviously a matter executed by God and not by man and, so, its description must also be as related to God and not to man.
This becomes evident when we compare this verse to other verses that clearly speak of years as related to man's count, like the verse:
"…on a day, the measure of which was a thousand years of your count." 32:5

It's been approximately 6,000 years since Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit.
We don't know how long they were in the garden before they sinned.
We don't know how long the universe (Gen 1:1) existed before God created the earth (Gen 1:2).
We only know the time frame since the fall.
The oldest man who ever lived was Methusaleh, who lived 969, and he died in the year of the flood. I think God spared him the pain of drowning by allowing him to die prior to the actual flood.
Enoch lived 365 years, then he was taken up.
Lamech, if I recall correctly, lived 777 years.

That's a trick question since there is no god so the answer in zero.
