Not having been there, I don’t know for sure.

Am I confident that science has really nailed it at about 14 billion years old? Not really.

A solid belief in this isn’t required for me to believe in God, Jesus and the sacrifice that was made for me and my fellow man. I figure in time I’ll get the answer I would like on it.

Until then, I don’t care what some folks say. I’m comfortable with them having a different opinion than my own.

Again, this article is not a debate about the age of the Earth, it is an argument for the position of the Bible on the age of the Earth.

"There is no question that Scripture gives us more than enough information to conclude that the creation is young and that God wants us to know it. After that, it is simply a matter of whether we accept Scripture’s authority."

Do you? Can you not and still claim to hold all the "beliefs" you claim to?

I know, it seems like it changes over time. When I was 8 years old in 1974, they said the Universe was 13 or 14 billion years old. By 1980 when I was a young teenager, it was 15, closer to 20 billion. Now it is 2014 and it is back to 14 billion like it was in 1974. Who really knows?

Was God there?

Did God inspire Scripture?

Does Scripture make unambiguous statements on the time line of creation (geneologies, statements, etc?)

150 years ago you would have just taken the Bible at face value.
