Choose which figure come closest to your position. Some might think that it was created less than a millisecond ago, in which case with option 2 but mention your position in a post. Most geologists seem to agree on about 4.54 billion years, whereas various creationists (young earth creationists) think about 6000 years (or less than 10000 years). There are also old earth creationists.... Creation and earth History Museum: http://www.creationsd.org/" rel="nofollow - http://www.creationsd.org/

I think if the Earth had been created only 10000 years ago, it wouldn't be as big as it is today. (Because it has barely grown at all during the past few decades). |

The way you phrased this everyone will get the poll question right. You should obviously have asked: Which figures come farthest from your views on the age of the Earth? -------------

Haha, on a serious personal note: I had actually made a New Years resolution to communicate in a more direct, open and honest way with others, and to be more intellectually honest and direct with myself. Doing otherwise not only confuses other people, it confuses me at times. I regret my tomfoolery in the way I presented that climate change topic before. I sometimes use silliness as a shield due to my social anxiety. ------------- Just a fanboy passin' through. |

The question of why do the two different dating methods arrive at such widely differing results is more interesting for me. As we know dating of earth is quite difficult as this is normally done by plotting archaeological finds in the the strata layer in which they have been found, as this stolen graphic shows: But as you can see, earth (i.e. that strata where life is known to exist) only occupies the first thirty inches of the outer lithosphere of the world. If we work on the principle that the world grows one inch per century, then this makes the earth extremely young (between zero and three thousand years old). Of course the impact of climate change on strata-chronology has yet to be determined but it is expected that the shrinkage caused by fossil fuel pollution is counteracted by the girth increases brought about by the western diet however, it is still estimated that this could produce a +100/-50% error in the estimation. Of course the earth layer is considerably younger than the underlying rock and magma layers but not as young the outer "vegetation" layer. The alternative method that is based upon the bible code is to simply count the number of verses written in the old testament since creation and multiply that number by the total number of words in the new testament, which gives us an earth-age of 4.2billion years (which is of course preposterous).

Although this thread is focusing on the earth, one point that should be noted is that young earth creationists not only believe the earth is less than 10,000 years old, but also the universe. They are essentially challenging the laws of physics and reality. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

^Cracked Native Facts....... A bit off-topic , but...

I highly recommend the reading of Dee Brown's "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee." - the dark side of USA history is revealed quite dramatically in this book. |

Well, one can't believe everything one sees, experiences, calculates or computes. Just because the observable universe is over 90 billion light-years in diameter doesn't mean that some omniscient deity couldn't cram all that space and time into 6000 earth years. Rather like cramming dirty clothes into an expandable laundry bag. It's just rather odd that said omniscient deity would plop beings created in his own image and likeness onto a third planet orbiting a rather middling sun at the ass-end of a mundane galaxy in the backwaters of this massive universe. Perhaps we are more step-children of god -- he never did like his first wife, and he tolerates the second, but her kids? Not of his loins.

None the less there is something that is about to drastically compromise FA's reputation: HIA (Heaven's Intelligence Agency) has just found out that FA didn't credit himself for the creation of the... 'ordinary alien'....... so the question remains - what was his point on that ? Was the almighty FA an Oligarch? A Democrat? , or even a Republican?
