SpecialAdviser:


And who disputed the fact that life existed that time? 2018 is counting since Jesus left the planet earth. Thousands of years has passed after Noah before Jesus came. Get ur fact right.

Everything in the bible, if Noah’s tale did happen, has been placed to be a total of 6000 years max.

So what is your point exactly?

Evidences such as this one point to the existence of life before the 2000 year old and 1500 year old individuals who respectively prescribed a gold laden heaven street and 72 virgins per person paradise which Nigerians have dumbed down their God given intelligence to get to and consequently refused to make the present get better because their ‘home’ is up there grin.

Oh and they’ve also taken the Jewish/Arab creation story as facts when evidences such as this says otherwise.

Jesus was born 2000years ago not the earth.roman and Greek written history still dates back 2000years before then. that's why we were able to capture the stories of ceasar and Spartacus. the truth is the period of time is beyond our imagination that's why u see people quoting 2,000years ago

People aren’t just quoting 2000 years ago, the Romans recorded the era of Jesus and it was 2,000 years ago going the calendar it is based on.

So?

I guess you are intelligent to know that there is an AD and there was a BC �

I guess if you had any modicum of intelligence, you’d know 8000 years is BCE (Before Common Era) which is 6000 years before CE (Common Era). Both BC & AD respectively.

Dufuna Canoe is a canoe discovered in 1987 by a Fulani cattle herdsman a few kilometers from the village of Dufuna in the Fune Local Government Area, not far from the Komadugu Gana River, in Yobe State Nigeria. Radiocarbon dating of a sample of charcoal found near the site dates the canoe at 8500 to 8000 years old, linking the site to Lake Mega Chad.
It is the oldest boat to be discovered in Africa, and the second oldest known worldwide.The canoe is currently in Damaturu the state capital

They didn't count the years, they used carbon dating to determine the age.

If we had people who could have such sophisticated brains to better the lot of themselves 8000years ago, how come that path of development and self sufficiency did not go on to birth a generation eager to add value to the society??

An atheist should be more informed. AD came after BC. We are only in 2018 AD. People av lived and civilizations existed long before AD. Lets not stretch ur animosity for religious folks fantastically.

if you have an 8000 year old canoe and your religion tells you your ancestors are Adam and Eve created about 6000 years ago in the middle East.....Then something is not adding up or you have refused to be sensible
Nothing is adding up because archeologists use estimate for years. Nobody was alive 8000 years ago to verify. What if their estimated claims were wrong? Even mere looking at a wooden canoe in that shallow ground will you tell me that there are no termites there to consume it in less than 10 years? Even iron would have corroded.

you think scientists just make up facts out of the blues or do random guess works??

or you think mere guess works are responsible for the space exploration, modern genetics emgineering, satellites launching, detecting crude oil and fossil fuels, robotics, artificial intelligence, study of wave particles, radioactive decay, nuclear energy etc?? These same scientific approaches are responsible for the technology and innovations you enjoy.

don't be a disappointment to this age of advancement. The question you asked would have been forgivable if they had been asked 100BC not year 2018. It's like asking how do scientists see germs, how how do they know there is oil beneath the ground or how do they use X-Ray to view internal organs, how do they know the sex of a baby before it is born, how do they do paternity test, were they there??
Dont be so archaic in knowledge, you really need to upgrade.
