Personally speaking, I lean more towards the science spectrum of the age of our universe while also believing that "let there be light" was actually the big bang. I have spoken with "young earther's" before and they have compelling debate points for 6000 (give or take). What got me was the 58th Century. I had never heard of that timeline before and would have never thought it would come out of Israel of all places. At any rate, looking to open up some discussion on this topic as time fascinates me.
Take care all and enjoy the day!

Does anyone really now what time it is? Does anyone really care, about time?

It’s mental age, I think. Societally speaking.

If so, I can’t imagine why.

You’ll find that the Saudis are whacked out about more than just time.

I was watching an episode of "Through the Wormhole" (leaving politics out of it)... Unfortunately, you cannot leave the politics out of it. Liberalism is weaved into the very nature of that series. My advice: Stop watching "Through the Wormhole". Instead get the DVD or the book "Cosmos" by Carl Sagan. That's the real deal, science-wise.

The Hebrew calendar is based on twelfth-century Rabbinic estimates for the year of creation - sunset on 6 October 3761 BC, according to our calendar.

Actually its 2768 ab urbe condita. The epoch used for both the Gregorian (Christian) and Hebrew calendars are somewhat more than a little speculative. Most historians agree that the Christian epoch is off by about five years. For instance, Herod is known to have died in 4 BC, and Jesus was born during his reign. (The Christian epoch was the Incarnation, nine months prior.) The longest continuous and most reliable current chronology is the Christian (Julian/Gregorian) calendar, and I’d go with that.

As a Christian, it is 2015 "Anno Domini" which means "The Year of Our Lord." Who is this Lord? Jesus Christ.
Good enough for me and 2.5 billion others...
Where there years before? Certainly, and millions, perhaps billions of them. The Lord made man in His image, which means we have a brain and think and explore, using Reason to explain the World and Universe around us. There is no reason or sense to be anti-science. Some scientists may be Atheists, but that doesn't make science anti-God.

I just hope I don’t wake up tomorrow to Sonny and Cher singing “I got you, Babe” at 6:00 AM.

I don't think this would be a good occasion to alert you to the notion of
"proper time", would it?

The epoch started at 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC. Good luck with all that. It can be whenever you want.
