As someone who held unto this myth for so many years, as I add more years to my 'youth' ( ) , I find it more and more difficult and even outright foolish to believe that this is fact.

From recent research, it is quite evident that the earth as a planet ( note : Not the people in it ) is an ancient planet which has existed for millions of years.

Why in this 21st century of science and knowledge do Christians still believe in this fable of 6000 years ?

Jeromejnr:
And who ever said Christians believe the earth is 6000 years old?.

frosbel2:


most do.

erusen:

Alot of christians know for certain that the earth is more than 6000 years. The apostle peter clearly affirmed this.
"For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the
water: Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are
now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto
fire against the day of
judgment and perdition of ungodly men."
(2 Pet 3:5-7). From this we can deduce that; long ago in very distant time past, the Lord God first created the heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1). But
when the heaven and Earth are spoken of in Genesis 1:2, it is in a ruined and lifeless
state. There is a vast gap in historical time
between those two verses of the Bible; a gap on the order of
possibly a billion years, nobody knows. In Genesis 1:1 we have a glorious heaven and Earth,
but in 1:2 we see a
decimated heaven and Earth.

I can believe that you people are still saying the Earth is millions of years old.

Why not simply ask google ?.

The earth is approximately 4.7 BILLION years old.
The Universe is approximately 14 Billion years old.

6000 years is the earth's footballer's age and it is arrived at counted or starting from Genesis 1:3

If counted from Genesis 1:1, the Earth's real age which is x millions of years is computed

And who ever said Christians believe the earth is 6000 years old?.

frosbel2:

Jeromejnr:


Well, they are ignorant in that aspect. And it's not necessary for them to know.

CaptainJune:


Any Christian who thinks the earth is 6000 years old is misinformed. The earth is many many millions of years old. Fact.

OLAADEGBU:


Moi.

starlingslimnet:


The earth is many millions even billions of year old I mean the Original Creation of earth Gen 1:1....while it's recreation is 6000 years old

OLAADEGBU:


And it could be the other way round too, don't you think?

Negro,
When you explain the origin of the universe, you will really have matured enough to debate me

OLAADEGBU:


As you are advancing in age you are equally descending into pit. I hope atheist evolutionists should welcome you into there fold.
