Quoting: 19.47™ 282917If you would use this train of thought on Christianity it would be interesting (numerous religions have proven to be false (or atleast according to Christianity) thus your form of religion must be false as well). But then of course you prefer being a hypocrite and only use that form of argument when it suits you. |

If the material that was used to make the earth was in existence before the earth was formed, then obviously it is older than the earth." Scientists do not say that the material that made the Earth is younger than it. What they say is that the rocks they have found do not exceed the age of the Earth. It was once molten and then solidified. The rocks date from that era of solidification. The material of the Earth is as old as the Universe - 13.7 billion years. It was in a solid form much later. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 493667THE IGNORANCE OF YOU SO-CALLED CHRISTIANS IS ASTOUNDING!!!! I'M A CHRISTIAN AND EVEN I DON'T BELIEVE YOUR HORSE MANEUER. Well, I won't even take a guess how old earth is. But I do believe it is certainly older that 6,000 years old. And, OP is right, it is generally believed that a 1 day in gods eyes is the equivalent to 1,000 earth years. |

Country Girl nli User ID: 277826 India 10/11/2008 12:43 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's a sad thing that many Christians have an appalling lack of biblical understanding, that at times enables our enemies to run rings around us. To take one example: You often see or read of mockers in the media saying words to the effect that: "The bible is inaccurate because it says that the earth is only 6,000 years old." Quoting: 19.47™ 282917But the bible also says...2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is] with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. You can easily work out for yourself that if you multiply 360 days (lunar years) x 6,000 x 1,000 that you get a figure of well over 2 billion years. Which also leaves plenty of room for quite a few 1,000 year periods to pass as single days. No doubt some carping evolutionist will start whingeing that "the bible is still inaccurate because the earth is 6 billion (or whatever) years old. And I've got two good answers to that one. Firstly: Just because you have blind faith in (a) the inherent accuracy of their scientific instruments. (b) The true scientific integrity of those doing the laboratory work. (c) That they cannot be fooled by false readings and/or assumptions. Pleeeeeeeeze do not expect me to take your shaky assumptions at face value. I know for a fact that false science is being used to bamboozle everyone into believing what they say about 'global warming', so why should I give you the benefit of the doubt. Secondly: Try and explain this one away. We are told in the story of creation that the earth was formed from the small stuff that was left over after the creation of the universe. Therefore it should be quite reasonable to expect that for instance one group of about 500 million cubic miles of rock that outcrops on the earth's surface is perhaps 6 billion or so years old. Another outcrop of perhaps 200 million cubic miles could be 3 or 4 billion years old. And so on. To sum up. If the material that was used to make the earth was in existence before the earth was formed, then obviously it is older than the earth. So if in the future you hear some idiot spouting off about "the bible being inaccurate because it says that the earth is only 6,000 years old," you can correct them. 19.47 You are so Biblically illiterate, it is pathetic. The earth is MILLIONS up on MILLIONS of years old. NO WHERE in the bible does it state that this earth is 6000 years old - nowhere. You obviously have never heard of the three earth ages. We are in the second one now. The first is past and the third is yet to come. This earth 'AGE' - the one of 'ADAM' (do not confuse this with all mankind) is 6000 years old but not the earth - it is eons old. Read your Bible and stop listening to idiots. |
