Re: The World is only 7000 years old
I'm sometimes stunned how people can think the world/universe is only 7000 years old....

The scientific proof is everywhere. Fossils? Geology? Carbon Dating?

Just looking through a telescope proves that the whole universe is billions of years old. Light takes millions of years to reach us from most stars. If the universe is 7000 years old, How can we see the stars?


Carbon dating is a human creation and therefore flawed. They even argue over the dating of the Turin shroud now,

And the universe may be billions of years in existence, because time is of no consequence to the Creator, Earth is 7000 years old. I ask again, rocks cannot last for a million or a billion years, no way.

YA MAN, NO FUCKING WAY!

Do you live in the Bible Belt?

I hope your Belt has bells so I can clear out if you come near.

Re: The World is only 7000 years old
The other question is, did man come into existence 6000 years ago, around 4,000 B.C. how quite a few people think???

Even though the earth is billions of years old, man people think man was created 6000 years ago.



New man, the new race, introduced by God via Adam and Eve.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 295253

I think the proper interpretation is that the present civilization started 6000 years ago. That is shown by the archeological record.

And, the present civilization has, so far, "culiminated" in monotheism. Is this 6000 year span involve the manifestation of god incarnate, as in; "in the flesh"?

Re: The World is only 7000 years old
Not enough Stone Age skeletons.

Evolutionary anthropologists now say that Homo sapiens existed for at least 185,000 years before agriculture began, during which time the world population of humans was roughly constant, between one and ten million. All that time they were burying their dead, often with artifacts. By that scenario, they would have buried at least eight billion bodies.If the evolutionary time scale is correct, buried bones should be able to last for much longer than 200,000 years, so many of the supposed eight billion stone age skeletons should still be around (and certainly the buried artifacts). Yet only a few thousand have been found. This implies that the Stone Age was much shorter than evolutionists think, perhaps only a few hundred years in many areas.


If homo sapiens has been around 250,000 years, about how many should have lived in total to date, 7 where are there graves, skeletons & artifacts?!

But according to Lampbert Dolphin PhD (& many other PhDs) of the SRI [link to ldolphin.org]
from 8 humans living c4000 years ago (the survivors of Noah's Flood) is a perfect exponential growth curve to today's population of 6.5 billion!
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 413185

Am very familar with L.Dolphins writings.

Given that from the advent of Adam, the 1,656 (Masoretic text) of their "years", from Adam to Noah the population could have ranged from roughly almost 2,000 people to 12 Billion or even more.

But the same question remains as to what happend to all the bones of those 2,000 to 12 billion people, the same question as was asked about the remains of those homo spaiens that had been around for 250,000 years.. were are the bones.. forget the graves and artifacts, were are the bones.

Could it be they all got pooled together in large local pockets and are now buried under 1 mile of mud and sediment?

Re: The World is only 7000 years old
I am making the assumption that light travels through 1 substance (if you can call it that) a vacuum. It is constant.


Say for a moment that God injects a bunch more light energy or photons into the Universe from His side of the quantum froth. The amount of Energy in the universe has just increased, what does that then do by that equation to the speed of light?

If you stretch out the fabric of space you have changed the permeativity and the permisstivity of space and hence have changed the vacuum of free space, so light speed would have to change.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 390756



Superluminal and tachyons.


Superluminal is faster than the speed of light.





"A superluminal phenomenon is a frame of reference traveling with a speed greater than the speed of light c. There is a putative class of particles dubbed tachyons which are able to travel faster than light. Faster-than-light phenomena violate the usual understanding of the "flow" of time, a state of affairs which is known as the causality problem (and also called the "Shalimar Treaty")."

To follow up with my previous post, I disagree with this. I believe the Harold Camping timeline to it. Adam and Eve, man, and new evolution of consciousness happened around 11,000 B.C. Humans were around before 11,000 B.C. but they didn't have the brain capacity, consciousness to determine right from wrong.

So something happened around 11,000 B.C. that drastically changed human consciousness and possibly enlarged the brains on humans almost instantly. Possibly the radiation of cosmic rays that did this, or possibly a monolith type of rock that came from another galaxy that had this tremendous force on the human species. (i.e. Space Oddsey 2001) Just a hunch :)

Re: The World is only 7000 years old
It doesn't matter which - age or distance.

I will try to simplify this becasue people do not understand what I am trying to say.

If light-speed is constant through a Vaccuum (I have no reason to believe otherwise), then we can calculate the time and distance from stars to our planet.

If we use red-shifting to determine the distance of an example star, say 1,000,000 (1 million) Light Years, then it is a fact that the light travelling from that star takes 1 million years to reach our planet.

If we can see this star then 1 million years has passed in our universe beacause the light was created 1 million years ago, the travels through space for 1 million years and we see the image of a star today.

This only proves that the universe is this old, not the planet.
 Quoting: Clavain

Doppler Red Shift then is the metric you are using in arguing the distance or age that a star is away from us?

Light speed by itself will never tell us how old or how far away that light source is, unless we are both at the light source observing when it is switched on AND at this distant observation point simultaneously. This is in itself a very big part of Relativistic Physics.

Locally we have other reasons than light speed (hence light travel distance) as far as our Sun is concerned. THe orbital dynamics place it approximately on a average of 93,000,000 miles. From that we can and do conclude the Sun is about 8 light minutes away, and can assume that what we here see happening on the Sun happened 8 minutes ago. Of course SOHO has a slightly different observation point, which helps to verify all this.

The the situation changes with even Wolf 359 or Alpha Centuari thought to be 4.3 Light Years away (approx).. we an otherwise attempt to triangulate on Wolf 359 or Alpha Centuari, but our base-line here on Earth for such triangulation is questionably adequate. By the the time we get to considering Sirius at an alleged 50 light years out.. all we have to go on really is its apparent motion across the field of view, as our base line on Earth is inadequate to triangulate its distance. By the time we get to the Galaxies our baseline for triangluation even if it spans the entire solar system is still inadequate as a base-line for finding their distances by triangulation. Hence we have not geometric way to determine how far away they really are, and hence no real idea as to how many light years away they really are.

It seems that for the most part Doppler Red Shift is the only tool we have that might tell us their relative distances. From that we allege that such and such is so many light year out there, like say 6,000 light years. Or 11 Billion light years. 6,000 light years away is not a real challange to even the most die hard Young Earth - Young Universe fundamentalist but 11 billion light years most certainly is.

It seems the age is based on the alleged distances as given by the allegations of using Doppler Red Shift as a way to measure distance (even though gravity lenses can mess with the results). If the Doppler Red Shift approach is in error, then we have few reasons to believe the Universe itself is more than 6,000 years old. The whole question then seems to live or die based on the doppler red shift as to the age of the Universe (not the age of the Earth). Not only that, but the apparent "age" also alleges a certain size for the visible universe.

C'mon! Are you being coy? The proof is elsewhere - some of it covered in high school. The amount of geological and cultural evidence that it is older than 7000 years completely overwhelms all arguments to the contrary. Fossils, artifacts, debris, carbon-dating, the fact that we have elements heavier than iron, the light from far-away galaxies, the list goes on and on and on.

Re: The World is only 7000 years old
The problem I have with you religious wackos is that you believe your God is exclusive to your religion and your's only. How can you believe words from a book confined to this planet? If a God does exist and I believe it does, I imagine the words of this God are far greater and outreaching then only planet earth.

When one considers the Drake Equation to justify life on other planets, one can realize the potential for life in the vast expanse of the universe. By many Christians beliefs, if you do not proclaim to accept Jesus as the Son of God and your personal savior, you will burn in hell. Does that apply to a being on a distant planet that has never read our bible?

God is far greater then the sum of Christianity or Islam or Catholicism. Once some of you realize this, then you will finally experience what it is like to be free.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 413324

There is really no Scriptual reason to believe that there aren't other life forms out there and intelligent ones at that. But if they are offspring of Adam and Eve, then Biblically speaking they need the salvation offered through Jesus Christ. Since they would most likely not be offspring of Adam and Eve, then one could think that the Creator of the Universe would have worked out His own deal with them and there is no need for Him to tell us about such a deal He had worked out with them either.

And even for the record, this Universe may not even be the Only Physical Universe, the texts do read, "the heavenS" in the plural.

And by the way, the only three that can judge whether or not someone has accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord, is that person himself and Jesus Christ and God.

Only God knows WHO WILL and when they will.

The Jewish calendar puts the year at 5768, it has been that long since Adam has been created, or at least was expelled from the Garden.

We know that when Adam was created God told him to be fruitful and mulitply, to REPLENISH the earth, seem to me he wouldn't say that unless the earth had been full at some time before Adam was created.

Doesn't say what was here on earth before Adam, only that something or someone(s) was here.

It also says that God created the earth in six days, and on the seventh he rested. It does NOT say that these were Seven CONSECUTIVE days, only that it was seven days.

[link to www.bartleby.com]

So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. Mt. 19.4 · Mk. 10.6

28 And God blessed them, Gen. 5.1, 2 and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.


The point here being that it doesn't rule out the earth being older than 5768 years.

Whatever you do, read what ever you can, DO NOT take mine or anybody else's WORD for it, make up YOUR own mind, but investigate the matter for yourself.

The one thing you can be sure of, be it science or faith, every question answered will bring forth more questions, that is eternal, peace and madness lie within, choose wisely. :-)

Re: The World is only 7000 years old
science is a human creation and therefore flawed
==============
science is/was not "created".
the definition of science:
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 384667

Science is a daughter of Philosophy. Philosophy means "in the wisdom of brothers." aka. mankind. In mankind's wisdom.

Science is a human creation springing from Philosophy which is another human created set of teachings.

Re: The World is only 7000 years old
i have a one word question: dinosaurs.
if world is 12,000 years old, and the bible covers, why didn't someone bring up dinosaurs somewhere in the goddamn book?

in reality, homo sapiens have been walking the planet for over 200,000 years.... some people will never see the truth.

As far as I am concerned, this universe did not exist until I was born. I am the center of my own universe. I do not know who let you in. First of all you smell, and whats with the hairy armpit?

I keep going back to the fossilized skull argument. Bone,calcium or whatever makes up the skull,simply cannot exist as we know it for a million years. A million years,its such an enormous quantity of time. A billion years is unthinkable.
