Given all of the scientific data available, what are the arguments for how the world is only 6,000 years old? Is it just the bible? Because that's just a book of stories with no facts to back it up.

The thing about scientific data is that it can be interpreted in many ways. There are plenty of evidences in the bible that match with what we find in science, just as there are many things that appear to be false about the bible and point to an old earth. Really, we don't know. We all are poking holes with our theories to try to find something that fits everything.



A thing to keep in mind, if the bible is true, then there are some massive global effects that took place to which we don't have a clue in how it changed the earth. One is the firmament. What was it? Whatever it was, we believe it held a massive amount of water in it (because it rained for 40 days worldwide). There are some scientific tests that have been done that showed how multiple strata layers can form rapidly during floods as well as volcanic eruptions. We have found fossils on top of mountains where there shouldn't be any and many more little things that point to the fact the world was flooded. There however are also evidences that it was not completely flooded. Each point of evidence can be manipulated to mold to a certain view, and if not looked into any further, can be consider a fact, when that fact may be wrong.



Really the answer is that there is no way to know for sure just how old this world is. We can see that there are many civilizations on the ocean floor, some in places that don't seem to be likely to have sunk into the ocean. Perhaps it was that the water levels were lower then? I personally just sought out God with all my intent and as a result I found him. By countless examples of him reaching out and personally showing me his existence, I now have put my trust in the fact not only that he is real, but he died to save me. Since I know that to be true, I have to consider from a scientific viewpoint that maybe my previous scientific views are false that the world is old.



Since coming to that realization and looking into multiple sciences regarding evolution, I've found many of them to be influenced by man, make grand assumption, and are not true science. If you want a diagram of what I mean, look at this source.

No one but humans have said that. The Bible does not.



However, acceptance of the existence of a Creator does NOT mean belief in Creationism. Creationism is a term that was appropriated and defined by specific religious groups as including the unscriptural belief that the earth or the universe was created in six 24-hour days. The Bible, specifically the first two chapters, define the word "day" as 12 hours, 24 hours, or the creative period.



This indicates that the word day is a fixed period of time, not necessarily 24 hours long. In fact, The earth itself could be billions of years old. What Genesis describes first is the creation of heaven and earth, and his spirit moving on the formless earth in Genesis 1:1-2, and then one reads about the preparation of the already existing earth for life, divided into 6 "days".



Primarily based on this premise, other creationists who espouse this idea also believe that the earth is much younger than the 4.5 billion years that most scientists say that it is. This is the YEC or Young Earth Creationist view. But as has already been mentioned, the age of the earth is not mentioned or even suggested in Genesis chapter 1. The six day period was the time in which the earth was being prepared for life and humans, but the earth was already in existence before this period began. Genesis 1:2 So to say that the earth is any age does not deny that the originator of the earth is God, or that the Bible's record of creation is disproved by what humans have discovered about the earth.

I suppose then, with the world already in place, dark and void, with the "Spirit of God moving {brooding} over the face of the waters" God saying "Let there be light" was his first act of creation?

Certainly not.

Clearly, for the Spirit to be moving over the face of the waters, they had to be there to move over...

You have: In the beginning God Created (Elohim bara)... the heavens and the earth. No timeline given.

Then you have the Spirit ...moving over the face of the waters...

Then you get 6 days of creative works... and a timeline.

The first creation was to let light be on earth...

There is no indication of age of the earth, and there is no obligation to provide one either. I wasn't there, and you weren't there, and no scientist has any worthy evidence by which to make an estimate, and most assume all things consistently were as they are now, and that may also be error, and they also were not there.



What you are concerned with doesn't make or break the validity of what was written. What was written was written for terrestrial beings, understandable by the young and old, the wise and simple, if they only read what was written. Don't listen to the interpretations of men. READ THE THING.

Creationists often say that the entire universe was created in six literal 24-hour days some 6,000 years ago. With teachings like this, they misrepresent the Bible, which says that God created the heavens and the earth “in the beginning”—at some unstated point before the more specific creative “days” began. (Genesis 1:1) Significantly, the Genesis account shows that the expression “day” is used in a flexible sense. At Genesis 2:4, the entire period of six days described in the preceding chapter is spoken of as only one day. These were, not literal days of 24 hours, but long periods of time. Each of these epochs evidently lasted thousands of years.

The planet’s coming into existence is recounted in the Bible with the simple statement: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Gen. 1:1) Just how long ago the starry heavens and the earth were created is not stated in the Bible. Scientists estimate the age of some rocks as being three and a half billion years, and the earth itself as being about four to four and a half billion or more years.

As to time, the Scriptures are more definite about the six creative days of the Genesis account. These days have to do, not with the creation of earth’s matter or material, but with the arranging and preparing of it for man’s habitation.

The facts disagree with such a conclusion:

1) Light from the Andromeda nebula can be seen on a clear night in the northern hemisphere. It takes about 2,000,000 years for that light to reach the earth, indicating that the universe must be at least millions of years old.

2) End products of radioactive decay in rocks in the earth testify that some rock formations have been undisturbed for billions of years.

3( Bible indicates that mankind since Adam is about 6,000 years old.

The fact of the matter the world, is exactly from the date of creation 13,00028 years to the day when God created the heaven and the earth and God said, let there be light: The reason the earth is not millions or billions of years old is because are sun, which is one of the smallest sun in the solar system, would have died out a long time ago, because are sun is not a supernova. That is just one example why are earth is not billions of years old.

Creation:

The planet’s coming into existence is recounted in the Bible with the simple statement: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Ge 1:1) Just how long ago the starry heavens and the earth were created is not stated in the Bible. Therefore, there is no basis for Bible scholars to take issue with scientific calculations of the age of the planet .



Scientists estimate the age of some rocks as being three and a half billion years, and the earth itself as being about four to four and a half billion or more years.



As to time, the Scriptures are more definite about the six creative days of the Genesis account. These days have to do, not with the creation of earth’s matter or material, but with the arranging and preparing of it for man’s habitation.

Well the universe can't be just 6000 years old. We are seeing light from galaxies so immensely far away there is no way we could see them if they came into being just 6000 years ago. They can't even be just a few million years old.



The only explanation an honest theist could give is that god made the universe to appear old when it was young. Light already reaching the earth for example. Which would really be dishonest of someone to do.
2016-07-18 05:01:15 UTC
Nicely the actual world can not be simply 6000 years of age. We're viewing gentle through galaxies therefore hugely far there isn't any method we're able to observe all of them when they came to exist simply 6000 in years past. They cannot actually end up being just a couple zillion years of age.



The only real description a genuine theist might provide is actually which lord created the actual world to look aged whenever it had been youthful. Gentle currently achieving our planet for instance. Which may truly end up being unethical associated with anyone to perform.

That claim is not a Biblical claim; rather, it is a claim by churches who are part of the young-earth creationist movement.



I simply hold to the Bible's claim, and in this there is no 6000 year limit except on when man was created. The 6 creative days were Terraforming epochs of unknown length; their minimum length has to be 7000 years each and the maximum is not known though might be able to be postulated depending on certain conditions.



The earth and the universe itself, the Bible tells us is from a remote beginning which again is not defined. Science could be right about their claims, and they could be wrong since they so often change their claims based on new findings.
2016-07-19 07:23:29 UTC
That argument is a MYTH promoted by those who hate anything

about God. The Bible does not say the world is 6,000 years old ...



It says mankind has existed 6,000 years on this earth, without

any indication how long the world was here before that.



The time periods in Genesis were translated as "days" in English

but the original ancient Hebrew words said "time periods". There

are texts in other parts of scripture that say a day, to God, is as

a thousand years, and a thousand years are as a day ... which is

just a colourful way to say God is not subject to TIME as we are.



You claim knowledge of "scientific data" .. while your grasp of the

level of world knowledge and culture in the time of Moses indicate

YOUR actual understanding is about the standard of Donald Duck

The best non biblical argument for the world being 6000 year old is as follows:

If the current rate of human population growth is average then it would take about 6000 years for humanity to reach its current size starting from one couple.

I do not like this argument but so far I could not figure out a rebuttal.

That's a misunderstand The Bible gives man 6,000 years. Georges Lamaitre came up with the Big Bang theory. Lamaitre was a scientist & a Catholic priest. Science comes from religion. I suggest that you read what Bible commentators have to say about it. Just google it. Simple & free.

It is easy. Simply ignore all scientific evidence, assume that the Bible was written as literal scientific document, not an allegorical spiritual one, and also throw reason and common sense out the window. In addition, one would have to take a very limited definition of the Hebrew word Yome, which can mean any time period. The original and traditional translations have always read as "Day", however, this is neither accurate nor was it meant to be literal. In my experience, those who take the Bible literally often miss the purpose behind it.

It cannot be. There is simply too much evidence, from a great many fields of study, that all support the fact that the Universe is about 13 billion years old and that the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old.



“How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, “This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant?” Instead they say, “No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.” A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths.” -- Carl Sagan

Peace, it took God 6 days to create the Heavens and the earth, and 6 days equals 1000 of our years. Thus this is regarding the creation.



It has been mathematically confirmed in the Quran that the age of the solid mass is 4.6 billion years, that is before the universes were exploded into existence.



The Quran is far beyond science, and as Keith Moore confirms, it could not be authored by anyone other than God.



Then He turned to the heaven when it was smoke…” 41:11



Do the unbelievers not realize that the heaven and the earth used to be one solid mass that we exploded into existence?.." 21:30



“And it is He who have constructed the heavens with might, and verily, it is We Who are steadily expanding it”. 51:47



“Do you not realize that God drives the clouds, then gathers them together, then piles them on each other, then you see the rain coming out of them?..”24:43

It's not, of course. Only a few fundamentalist Christians would believe that. They are going by the generations that are listed in the Old Testament.

The rest of us neither know nor care how old the earth is. God does not have to respond to our stopwatch. We are far more interested in the New Testament. Unless you read Hebrew, the OT will only confuse you.

For example, your Bible probably has a commandment that says, "You shall not kill." Nope, no such commandment exists. It is a mistaken translation.

The Hebrew word is ratzach, murder. If it read harag, it would mean kill. "You shall not murder." is the commandment.

There are plenty of myths about what is taught in the Bible, and Creationism is just one of them.



The word day has several definitions, & is sometimes used to represent eras or eons of time.



Besides, the earth was created well BEFORE the creative days --which refer to the creation of earths' ecosysttem-- even began.

Earth can't be that young. There are trees and cities older than that. Civilizations were already thriving in Mesopotamia over 6000 years ago. To believe in a "young Earth" a person who have to be so irrational that they can disregard facts in favor of ancient fantasies.



Archaeologists have incontrovertible evidence of people living in the Levant 14,000 years ago. But if someone says "Naaah. I don't want to hear about evidence. I prefer ancient myths", what can you do but shake your head and laugh at how stubborn and irrational they are.

I did a small experiment in my room- switched on the light and it apparently traveled from the source towards the farthest corners of the room, when i switched it off, darkness traveled even faster from the farthest corners of the room towards the source of light- i said what a crap and slept.

The Bible doesnt directly provide earths age. The 6K figure was calculated by Bishop Ussher.

That said, intensive Bible study reveals that the earth is just over 7K years old.



Its all a matter of whom you believe and trust - mere mortal men who make mistakes, lie, cheat, steal and kill --- or perfect Almighty God who does none of these things.

Yes, you make a good point about the planet ~ I would have to say that it clearly must be far older than 60 centuries. However, you also (like so many of the people here on Y/A) made a comment about that collection of writings known as "The Bible." As a Hindu, I'm curious about life and its profundities. The Bible, I have seen, is quite obviously NOT "a book of stories with no facts to back it up." That is quite incorrect. I can comment on the age of the earth because it is obvious to anyone who thinks that it would clearly have taken far longer than 60 centuries for this planet and all its complexities to have come together in the form we now see it in. But I do not dismiss the Bible as a book of "faerie tales," as many ignorant people have called it, because, UNLIKE YOURSELF, I took the time to read it. The Vedic ("Hindu") scriptures are inconceivably ancient, and one unschooled in the scriptures could just as easily dismiss them (The Bhagavad Gita, The Srimad Bhagavatam, The Ramayana, The Mahabharata, etc) as "nonsense" or "faerie tales" without having read them. Many here, no doubt, have already done that. The "Hindus" know of antiquity. Our scriptures speak of events that took place many aeons ago here on planet Earth, so it is clear to us that the planet is far older than 6K years. But the Bible is a collection of writings which even modern-day Christians do not truly or fully understand. Their interpretation of it does tend to be rather lame because those people tend to come to conclusions based on how they feel, not based on any knowledge they've gathered. I have a bible with comments in the back by a priest who openly admits that much of what is in the Book of Revelation is hard to understand and then he concludes that "we won't understand it until the Lord comes." But at least the man was honest in declaring his lack of understanding of it. You will never study any scripture, that much is clear, whether it be Vedic or Christian. As such, you will remain ignorant as to what those writings are about. I wonder how you would feel if someone were to dismiss a book about quantum physics as being nothing more than "a book of stories with no facts to back it up?" I suspect that you'd laugh at them. In like manner, your having casually dismissed a collection of metaphysical writings that you don't understand as mere nonsense does not speak well for you. Just because Christians have made the ancient teachings into a laughingstock doesn't mean that the teachings themselves are false. Stop commenting on issues you know nothing about. It makes you look more than a little foolish. Yes, the planet is quite obviously older than 6K years, but beyond that, you need to investigate life, and find out what the ancient writings are about, whether it's the Bible, the Hindu scriptures, or the ancient texts of the Sumerians, Mesopotamians, and the Babylonians, etc. There is still much that you do not know ...

It is not. The creation account speaks of the preparation of the earth that had already existed. Now it is being prepared for human to live on. When the Bible speaks of a day it is not referring to a literal 24 hour. To a God of eternity a day can be thousands of years.

2 Peter 3:8 However, do not let this escape your notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah* as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. We know the Gensis account cover event that took place more that 4000 years. This can be compared by the age of the people in each generation. On the seventh day it state that God rest. Over 4000 years later it speak on entering God rest. of the verb “has been resting.” That suggests that the seventh day—God’s “day” of rest—was under way in 1513 B.C.E. when Moses wrote the book of Genesis. Is God’s rest day still ongoing? If so, can we enter into it today? The answers to these questions are of vital importance to us. Two lines of evidence lead us to the conclusion that the seventh day was still under way in the first century C.E. First, consider Jesus’ words to opposers who criticized him for healing on the Sabbath, which they construed as a form of work. The Lord said to them: “My Father has kept working until now, and I keep working.” (John 5:16, 17) What was the point? Jesus was being accused of working on the Sabbath. His reply: “My Father has kept working” answered that charge. In effect, Jesus was saying to his critics: ‘My Father and I are engaged in the same type of work. Since my Father has kept working during his millenniums-long Sabbath, it is quite permissible for me to keep working, even on the Sabbath.’ Thus, Jesus implied that as regards the earth, God’s great Sabbath day of rest, the seventh day, had not ended in his day.* God’s purpose was clearly explained to Adam and Eve, but they failed to cooperate with it. Of course, Adam and Eve were only the first humans to pursue a course of disobedience. There have been millions of others since then. Even God’s chosen people, the nation of Israel, fell into a pattern of disobedience. And significantly, Paul warned first-century Christians that even some of them could fall into the same trap as the ancient Israelites. He wrote: “Let us therefore do our utmost to enter into that rest, for fear anyone should fall in the same pattern of disobedience.” (Heb. 4:11) Notice that Paul links disobedience with failure to enter into God’s rest.

This show that each day had to be at least 6000 years each. Because God is still resting and he is going allow another 1000 years for mankind to be restore back to perfection without interference from the Devil. Revelation 20:1-15

20 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven with the key of the abyss+ and a great chain in his hand. 2 He seized the dragon,+ the original serpent,+ who is the Devil+ and Satan,+ and bound him for 1,000 years. 3 And he hurled him into the abyss+ and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not mislead the nations anymore until the 1,000 years were ended. After this he must be released for a little while.

And it isn't the bible. The bible never gives an age for the earth or universe.

Could not possibly be that young maybe in the billions



6,000 yrs old?



That is how long God has been resting on the 7th day,from creating



Wow, so one day cannot be 1, 24hr day



Wait, that means it could not be a 1000 yr day



interesting



Paul said that there is still a day to enter God's rest?



Wow. how long would that day be, with everlasting life in it?

It doesn't Matter. The good principles of the Bible matter

There is evidence that directly supports young-earth, and evidence that allows for young earth. Young earth is honestly easy to believe in.

a biblical year= 10.000 astronomical years....so, according to the bible the earth is 6 billion years old...

Can't find it in bible, but if it is they probably had a different view of time then.

We do not know. We were alive now and that is all we know. it is what it is, so it doesn't matter very much and this is a stupid argument
?
2016-07-17 21:26:27 UTC
It is not. More like 4.543 billion years.
