“The Bible says the Earth is only 6,000 years old, and that is good enough for me.”

So, you believe it without all the made up science of the “creation science” movement? If so, you are something that all of “creation science” can never be - honest and faithful.

The 6,000 year old number is from Bishop Ussher. The Bible does not say how old the earth is.

Which makes the 6,000 year old number non-scriptural.

Naughty boys, adding something to the Bible. Tsk, tsk.

I think the guy was joking when he wrote that the Bible says the Earth is only 6,000 years old (it doesn’t), and that he was lampooning people who believe this. Then again, maybe he wasn’t joking, my humor meter is a little out of whack these days.
