13. The Earth is 4.56 billion years old the same
age as the Moon and the Sun.

The holy book of Christians say otherwise. The Bible posits that the earth is about 6,000 years old.]

So are you gonna believe what the Bible says by faith or are you gonna belief what science has proved so clearly, by evidence.




Which part of the bible?

And Mikhail Kalashnikov invented the AK-47 in 1942. This rifle has killed more people than any disease, any natural disaster, infact, Kalashnikov AK-47 has killed more people than the Hiroshima n Nagazaki nuclear bomb combined together.

Kalashnikov still remains best choice weapon by all terrorists n most military in the world...And guess what, dis gun is still 73 years old....

155. If the iceberg had been seen only 30 seconds before it was seen and the Captain was notified, the accident could have been avoided.


The four smokestacks that have become so famous, and associated with the ship. The fourth one didn't even work. It was totally just for decoration.


More than half of the lifeboats on the ship were not filled to capacity. If they had been, many more lives could have been saved.

Only one ocean liner in history has been sunk by an iceberg: Titanic.


The infamous iceberg that brought the Titanic to her knees has been floating around since around 1,000 B.C.


Comparing titanic with Modern Ship. (Oasis Of The Seas).

The gap between Gen 1: and Gen 1:2 is unfathomable! ONLY GOD can tell us the gap between the two verses. So, Bible and Science are on the same page.
Verse 1 says iIN THE BEGINNING,GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN{S} AND THE EARTH... then THE EARTH BECAME VOID! Verse three down ward talks about your 6000 years thing

82. 1 sperm has 37.5MB of DNA information in it. That means a normal expulsion represents a data transfer of 1587GB in about 3
seconds.

If men were telecoms company, imagine how rich they would become.

Also, please stop mastürbating it is an unnecessary waste of data.

thruogh d use of carbon dating, age of rock was able to be determined. even your age can also be determined. it follows d process of radioactive. fifa has also introduced such as a process to checkmate age falsification in d world. d age of earth is roughly 5billion yrs. biblically or theologically, d day first man was created was roughly 4000bc thus making d earth to be little above 6000yrs. but d same bible said dat one thousand yrs is like a day in d sight of God. frm this point of view, 6000 yrs frm human calculation frm bible may not alighn with d reality on ground

Why should you? It is simple logic.
The population of the world today, should be about 10% of the total population if everyone is to be alive from "Adam" till now

THE BIBLE DOES NOT SAY HOW OLD THE EARTH IS.
WE ONLY READ THAT AT AN INDEFINITE TIME IN THE PAST - "IN THE BEGINNING" - GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH.
- GEN 1:1
SO THE FIRST OF THE 7 CREATIVE DAYS BEGINS LONG AFTER THE PLANETARY BODIES CAME INTO EXISTENCE. TOO, THESE "DAYS" WERE NOT 24-HOUR LONG.
KINDLY NOTE SIR, THAT THE BIBLE DOES NOT CONTRADICT SCIENCE.
CERTAIN SO-CALLED FUNDAMENTALISTS, HOWEVER, DO.

I guess you mean mercury boils at 430°C and freezes at -180°C which makes it a better choice for thermometers than alcohol. ( Boiling and freezing points )
