GGG Ping!................

How do they determine the date, carbon dating of something organic?
How old is the Kaba in Mecca?
Sure looks man-made, how old is Earth according to the Jewish calender?

[Oliviaforever]

It sure is fishy when these archeologists, geologists and all sorts of other -ologists from secular academia claim that objects on earth are older than earth itself.

Even if the Earth is 4.55 billion years old, it does not shake my firm belief in God and Christianity in general.
If Genesis was accurate, it would start out with God starting by making sub atomic particles and moving on to creating the periodic table. It’s not a blueprint but an outline.

God gets down to the nitty gritty details in Deuteronomy.

Is there an HOA? Because that will cut the price.

Thank God they didn’t leave the oven on. Imagine a 10,000 year gas bill...

The pictures remind me of things I saw at excavations in Turkey. However, those were more recent that 10K years ago.

You must be very old.................

Well, if this one hasn’t sold yet, it will certainly blow the average.

Couple of things in article caught my attention. First this quote, “to regulate the construction in the crowded regions in the center of the settlement and allowed less planning along its periphery.” Pretty much the way we live today, the more people crammed together the more rules. The writer seems to think this is progress. Secondly, “It is apparent that the axes, some of which were used as tools and some as cultic objects, were highly valued by their owners. Just as today we are unable to get along without a cellular telephone and a computer” Axes are like cell phones does not come readily to my mind. Guns, yes. But I expect the foundations that fund these digs are liberal and don't want any press releases mentioning guns, soon to be the g word right up there with the n-word and the c-word.

Can you point me to the specific verse in the Bible that specifies the age of the earth?

Was not the young earth theory postulated by a man?

There was a documentary done on this in the 1960's.
