Faked, like the moon landing. God's earth will celebrate its 6,245th birthday come October.
LOL........".concern yourself NOT with endless genealogies"
In the seventeenth century Archbishop James Ussher of the Church of Ireland calculated that the earth was created on October 23 4004 BC at 9 AM--and we must assume that it was Pacific Daylight Time. In 1972, my geology class at Occidental College met at 9 AM on October 23, so the Geology Department held a surprise party in the classroom to celebrate Earth's birthday. Our professor, the noted glaciologist Joe Birman, apparently was taken by surprise, but he gave an impromptu speech celebrating the occasion. The event made the evening news on the local television stations.
So what are your thoughts on Copernicus and Galileo?
I will be celebrating my 7th anniversary of quitting nicotiana tabacum on October 4th. What a coincidence!
