I’m a creationist. More and more I’m seeing references of man 300 to 400 thousand years old. Like they are doubling at the black jack table.

Pretty soon the evolutionists will have man old enough to have lived with dinosaurs. Oh the irony.

I am as well, although I think our understanding of God's creation is only slowly getting beyond a child's level. Recently I saw some arguments that one of three things must be true: (paraphrasing here): The idea is that if the 3rd happens to be the case, and you can make an argument it's the most likely, then the probability that we're having this discussion in the true base reality is very low - we're much more likely some form of software in a simulation. In short - our creator may have a creator.

“I’m a creationist. More and more I’m seeing references of man 300 to 400 thousand years old.”

Me too... but I think whoever conjured up this 5,000-year-old countdown back in the Middle Ages was working with limited information. Historically reasoned observation and metrics was almost non-existent at that time. I don’t understand how people can believe in creation but still believe in the 5,000-year-old Earth.

The Earth was created in 6 days. The word “day” is Hebrew “Yom” and one of the definitions of yom is “era.”
