"Ten minute."
Answers in Genesis has a great museum somewhere up in Kentucky. I hope to get out that way someday soon to see it.
It’s a good organization and provides some good information. I like Ken Ham, too...
Whoo hoo! The same topic as yesterday but with a different name. GGG can keep spammin’ this forever.
There’s no way to use the bible to estimate the age of the planet. First of all, we dont’ know how many generations were left out in the “begats”. THere’s no reason to believe that those lineages were without gaps. I would guesstimate that only the really important and memorable individuals were included.
It was here when I got here, so I know it’s at least 49 years old.
No one knows
Just got back from God’s snow covered mountains. I felt like I was sitting atop a glimmering 11,000 foot cathedral. My wife had to drag me up there. But boy was I glad once we arrived! I could actually see where we live way off in the distance. Pure bliss.
That's easy. Just Google it, Wikipedia, or any good geology or science book will tell ya!
4.5 Billion is the most likely answer.
The 6000 year argument is based on the "generations of man" mentioned in Genesis 5:1.
Man and the Universe were not born in the same "Day."
Save the protests of what it actually "says" in the Bible for Sunday School where all of the arguments are of equal stature with these so called "young earth proponents."
“How old is the earth?”

Which part?
The answers are all there. Look up and see the moon. Out of 159 moons in this solar system, it is the only one that is the same size as the sun in the sky, enabling perfect solar eclipses. It is the only one whose periods of rotation and revolution are synchronized, so that the same side always faces the earth, which revolves around our sun at the perfect distance for liquid water. Our unusually large moon gives those waters tides and the wobble of the earth gives us seasons, all enabling and challenging life. Coincidence? Just lucky I guess.
The problem with offering such proof to a Young Earth creationist is that no level of proof is sufficient, because it is an article of faith that any contradiction of the Bible's literal accuracy is false by definition.
Obama will know the answer.. He knows everything.
The Earth is about 5-6 Billion years old.
People that for some reason can’t get over it get over it.
The question makes an invalid assumption. The assumption is that one day it was not there and another day it was.
At first there was one particle that accreted with another and the pair then attracted another and so on. The procass continues as growth until the point where we recently began to expel mass in to space.
The accretion process took a very long tome. Any estimate is at best a guess. Do we date the earth from conception, that is the first attraction between two protoparticles or from the point when toe process of gathering was 99.999999 % complete?
"Ten minute."
I know you think the “days” of Genesis, chapter one, were 24 hrs. long. Six days and then the 7th. day, God rests or the 7th. is Shabbath.
If all the days were of equal length (and there is nothing in the account to suppose otherwise), then that 7th. day of 24 hrs. should have ended long ago, about 6000 yrs. or so ago.
Has it ended?
If it has, then it most certainly had ended when Moses set the words of Genesis to whatever he used for paper.
Does Genesis say that that 7th. day had an evening and morning like the other 6 days that had ended?
Man measures things in time. God does not. With God there is no “time”. It is hard for us here in our mortal bodies to understand that concept, but it is a reality. God created “days” for man. He has no conscript. What was a day in the bible could be a billion years. We just don’t know. We can’t know. We “think” we know, but we don’t. It is that simple.
old enough to know better
Keyword spamming again......
And this time I would bet that you didn’t put them all in.
