Snowballed BS rumor. The assumption is that Genesis 1:2 occurred immediately after verse 1. But that's like reading a summary of Abe Lincoln which says "Lincoln was born in Kentucky and became our 16th president" and assuming he took office as an infant.

They've added up the begets and begats of the generations listed in the Bible following Adam and Eve, and arrived at 6000 years. You can't argue against it since it's in the Bible.

Several have spouted off as though they actually had something to say, but no one has even answered your question?

The 6000 year old Universe/Creation is based on the work of Bishop James Ussher, tracing the geneologies recorded in Genesis - which tells how long many of the patriarchs lived. The date he came up with 4004 B.C.

No intelligent person needs to believe in Darwinian Gradualism. It's a ridiculous, fantastic claim.

Instead of simple ad hominem attacks, you could have listed some evidence of billions of years. Anyways, the burden of proof is on you to keep that theory in the schools.

And I am not convinced that that is what it is really saying. As well, I think this is another issues of straining gnats while swallowing camels.

Yes, there are some who are very passionate about it. But I don't judge them. I really think that there are more important matters at hand rather than if we believe ther Earth is only 6 thousand years old are not. I believe GOD feels the same.

They don't,it isn't doctrine. Its something that someone named Bishop Usher calculated centuries ago and is not supported by anything else other than word of mouth. Ex. Catholic Church doesn't give a time frame for the days of the six days days of creation nor does it deny the possibility of intelligent life on other worlds.

Genesis is the doctrine on the timeline. Bishop Ussher was kind enough to add up the ages from all the genealogies. If you dont like him the Jews had very similar dates.
