Where did the idea of “millions of years” come from?
All of our media outlets push evolution and “millions of years” ideas on the public. Even children’s cartoons reflect evolutionary philosophy! In an episode of the cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants, entitled “SpongeBob B.C.,” the narrator begins: “Ah, dawn breaks over the primordial sea. It is here that millions of years ago, life began taking its first clumsy steps out of the darkness, opening its newly formed eyeballs to stare into the blinding light of intelligence.” Unfortunately, large segments of the church have swallowed the millions-of-years evolutionary history hook, line, and sinker. But it was not always this way. In this chapter, we will discover where the idea of millions of years came from and why the church went along with it. We will see that science does not require it, but rather it is a necessity of uniformitarian geology and evolutionary theory...

“And the Earth was void, and without form” = millions of years.
From circular reasoning, that's where.

Should we say 6000 years instead? Get real!
Only in a completely unscientific attempt to shoehorn the geological column into a Young Earth viewpoint is it not required.
Ask her. She was there.
The earth is old as hell-en Thomas
OK. Billions of years. Whatever.
Sorry, the Earth being void and without form does not = millions of years.
A day with God is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as a day. Written long before the concept of millions was conceived.
HE did it, in six thousand or six billion, HE did it.
Finally, a voice of REASON on this thread!
Yes, we should. There is far more evidence for a young earth, then the millions and billions of years that the Evos keep prattling on about.
There doesn’t seem to be anything in the article that addresses the current estimates of the age of the Earth, or the methodology (uranium decay measurements) by which they are derived.
Actually, He did it in six days. Very impressive!
==OK. Billions of years. Whatever.
Well if “whatever” is your attitude, then why not six days!
Actually, the evidence from the Grand Canyon is far more supportive of YEC. Have you looked into it yet?
