Earth is 6,000 years old. Always has been, always will be.

I momentarily read that as "Mark May is a donut"

And thought, "close"

What always confuses me about these biblical lifespans is who knows how long a “year” was before calendars? Could that 600 actually be 600 months because of lunar cycles — that translates to 50 of our current years? That would fit human lifespans of those times. Or maybe they counted winters or summers like on GOTs?

So possessive. You might want to get that looked at.

It’s chickens thread first of all, this is still America second of all, and you kind of proved my point about being a donut third of all.

There are a number of empirical proofs of a very very old earth. Certainly you are not serious

I believe the earth is some 6000 years old as we know mankind to be. I believe the earth to be countless years old...one which was inhabited by all sorts of beings as we know from archeological discoveries.

Mankind is the pinnacle of God's work and was created and placed in perfection...the earth some 6000 years ago.

The Bible is the accounting of God and mankind and not an accounting of God and all His works over the span of time.

Old earth and new earth can co-exist and it is the only rational explanation for those who believe in God and those who don't.

Isn’t it like 4.3 billion years old?

Dinosaur bones that are said to be millions of years old often have soft tissue on the bone. There is no known way to preserve tissue anywhere near that time in a laboratory environment. Yet they find soft tissue on a dinosaur bone buried in the dirt exposed to weather and everything else. So the millions of years bs is just bs. They don't talk about it because they can't explain it.

Soooo...how do you explain the anatomically modern human remains that were found to be about 200k years old?

And I won’t even mention the lines that go 500k - 3MM years back..,

That’s easy. They were riding an asteroid from a galaxy far away and crashed here on Earth

In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth
2 and the earth was without form or shape, with darkness over the abyss and a mighty wind sweeping over the waters



This occurred prior to the First day. The below occurred on the first day:

quote:

3 Then God said: Let there be light, and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good. God then separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” Evening came, and morning followed—the first day.*


After God created the heavens and the earth(the earth was without form-(not sure what this means exactly), THEN He separated the light from darkness-The First Day. One does not know how long God spent creating the heavens and the earth.

The 6000 years you describe would be how long man has been on earth from Adam/Eve to now. Man was the last creature created. Genesis does not specify the order God created the animals from dinosaurs to dogs. This could have taken an unknown number of years.

Did God create each section in one "earth" day? A day did not exist until light was created. When the heavens and the earth were created it was dark. When God separated the light from darkness, then a "earth" day could exist with a morning/night. God could create things in one day if He chose, but the "day" Genesis refers to could also mean a period of time, not literally one "earth" day.

In Genesis Chapter 1 God is speaking to humans in a way they can understand what he means. He also reinforced the desire He had for man to REST on the sabbath, thus on the 7TH DAY GOD RESTED.
As my young child asked me, "Why did God need to rest? He is God." Of course God did not need a "day" of rest. He was teaching man to rest and used his creation of all things as an example to show the importance of rest.
Physically, man's immune system needs rest. With this COVID19 going around a person must get rest so their immune system can get strong enough to fight the infection.
Fresh water reservoir affects carbon dating, thus since the planet was under water after the flood during Noah's time, carbon dating bones could be impacted. It is obvious that there is scientific data which shows all parts of the world were under water at one time in history. When scientists find archeological sites, they never say if it occurred before/after an earthly flood.

Article from 2013. Iron preservation is bs. Was debunked.

And even it did explain the preservation in the T-rex, it doesn't explain it in all the other finds.

They don't have an answer for it. They don't talk about it.

People will confuse the age of the earth with the creation of humans. God is not bound by time and Jesus explained a day to God could be like a thousand years. That said, the human population growth after the great flood can be easily proved. Just google human population growth and look for yourself. Most won't, they will only ridicule. Deniers can just post a few graphs to show us wrong.
