False arguments reaching nonsensical conclusions, yet again.

[I want the USA back]

Creation was NOT thousands of years ago. The Bible is not a historical document.

[Da Coyote]

Oh puuuuuleeeze....quit making we Christians who actually have good scientific training look like fools.

The earth is really older than the bible stories.

Really!

Look at it this way - would those folks a couple of thousand of years ago comprehended the term “billion”....let alone believed it? There was no purpose in giving them a physics course...the purpose of the bible is morals.

[BigEdLB]

I am all for intelligent design, but, the 6000 year old Earth has nothing of reason in it... God did many experiments over the 3.5 billion years of life on Earth. He is just a good gardener tending to one of his gardens... And when He was upset, 67 million years ago, He sent a low inside slider to the Yucatan Peninsula, and the dinosaurs were toast...

I am amazed at the number of FReepers who have such little regard for the truth of Scripture, and who reject evidence that seems to challenge evolutionary theory.

[count-your-change]

The beliefs of evolutionists must not be challenged. All religion, philosophy, indeed reality itself must be bent to fit the evolutionary mold.

Off with the heads of non-believers!

The Bible's record of all the major phases of world history shows no trace of a Triassic deep-time epoch and offers a better explanation for these fossils.

The Bible's record shows no trace of anybody getting eaten by a Tyrannosaurus, either.

[Moonman62]

Finally, the Bible's timeline shows a creation that is thousands, not billions, of years old, erasing any need to explain why pollen grains buried deep in fossil layers look so similar to living herbs and flowers today.

And some people wonder why religion is sadly losing influence.

[Jeremiah Jr]

Here's the formula.

1000 (years) = 1 (day)
1 (day) = 1000 (years)

Tehillim 90

Say you want to know the age of the 6000 years of human history...

First plug in the lunar year numbers. After all the Hebrew word for year is Shana, Shin Nun Hei.

Gematria of Shana is 355

Shin = 300
Nun = 50
Hei =5

Which is the number of days in the year, the lunar year...

A lunar calendar is a calendar that is based on cycles of the lunar phase. Because there are about twelve lunations (synodic months) in a solar year, this period (354.37 days) is sometimes referred to as a lunar year.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_calendar

So: 354.37 x 1000 (day) = 354370 x 7000 (1 week) = 2480590000 x 6 (millennium) = 14,883,540,000 years.

Note: This criteria differs from the scientific age. The scientific age measures from the big bang to the present day, my calculations are from the Tzimtzum to 6 millinum.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tzimtzum

Still confused see: Genesis 2 ''but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”

Adam did not die the 'day' he ate from the tree of knowledge. He lived 930 years.
