We’re eventually going to discover that there are significant flaws or errors in how we date these ancient fossils and discoveries.
I’m not saying the earth is only 6,000 years old, I’m just saying conclusively dating anything as X millions of years old is suspect.
I've been arguing against carbon dating and other methods of determining when something happened/how old something is for as long as I can remember. Thank you! There's just no way we're smart enough/have the right technology or any way of confirming that something is x thousands of years old much less x millions.
I also agree with a poster above that evolution and the Bible are NOT incompatible. The Bible tells us quite clearly that one day in our eyes can be a thousand years (or more...) in God's eyes.
We really have no idea how old the earth is, how old dinosaurs really were (they were called Behemoth's in the Bible) and to say we can definitively say anything in regards to the age of the earth and how it all works together is the height of arrogance IMO.
We're just not that smart. Well, at least I know I'm not.
I have a long-held belief this current “earth age” is about 6 thousand years in duration. There have been other “earth ages” when The Almighty created other living things.
The earth just where The Almighty does “creation” stuff. Kinda like a garden patch. (I bust up my summer garden in fall and you’d never know there was “life” there during the summer.) I believe this “earth age” of Grace ends at the conclusion of Christ’s 1,000 year reign.
And yes, the earth is an old rock but this current “earth age” isn’t.
Interesting that Genesis states God created vegetation on day three but didn’t create the sun until day four.
“I’m just saying conclusively dating anything as X millions of years old is suspect.”
I’d also be suspect of dating someone who was ten million years old.
