Bible believers, if the earth is only 6000 years old, how far have the continents moved?

Question

Africa and South America are moving apart at an inch a year, so how far could they have moved? Were Africa and South America once connected like science says they were?

Answer 1

I find it humorous that religious crazies believe to a T what they read in the bible but choose to ignore/ not believe real concrete archaeological proof (like artifacts from more than 6000 years ago or bones from prehistoric humans that prove species evolve over time)



for example, the Catholic church refused to believe the earth was round until a few decades ago (even though people had been to space and taken pictures of earth).

Answer 2

Gerald Schroeder formerly of MIT and now of Jerusalem U has written books and says you can make the Biblical case for the Earth to be both 6000 years old and 15 1/2 Billion years old. Its been a while since I've read his works. I respect him and believe he has respect in academic circles world wide.

Dr David Atway Ray, former head of Math/Physics Dept at Moscow U has stated he believes the Earth to be no less than 6000 years old and no more than 10,000 years old. He backs this up with Math that has yet to be challenged.

Both Genesis 10:25 and I Chr 1:19 indicate that the land mass on the Earth become separate continents at a certain time.

Answer 3

it truly is an particularly common party why Christians are different than from Atheists. maximum atheist do not use their God given brains to imagine and attempt a declare. yet they blindly trust and agree something it quite is accessible contained in the call of technology. they don't even problem to attempt and ascertain the declare of the asker if bibles actual says so. it quite is how blind maximum of you're. The bible by no skill stated the international changed into created 6000 years in the past. They same way you've judged the bible, you've choose Christianity and God because you by no skill truly favor to understand or discover out. Christians trust in what they perception because they have tried and examined their faith. they have study the Bible and it speaks the reality to them. I actual don't have any difficulty with technology yet i do not accept as true with each and every clinical claims because as you may understand after few years another scientist could declare otherswise. until eventually as a lot as few a lengthy time period in the past, plane aerofoil idea changed into in holding with thoroughly incorrect idea, scientist idea they understood how aerofoil produced raise and most of the plane in air even as we talk were equipped with that incorrect idea about aerofoil. What does that shows ? technology could nicely be incorrect yet nevertheless could look actual, it may purely look actual for a second until eventually the actual reality be printed in a be counted of time. there is not any recorded heritage previous 6000 years in the past, and there is not rationalization why the international must have existed about billions of years in the past. i'd not behave like each and every aethiest and swear that the earth is billions of years old as I actual have not study the data and qhat tactics of carbon courting changed into used to ascertain that and that i do not even understand if the the approach they used could produce a similar esults everytime the attempt is done. For it to be scientifically fantastic the experiement should be repeatable and could continuously supply a similar result and could not supply a form like between 4 and 5 billions years old.

Answer 4

A Biblical History of the World 11.013 BC - AD 2011



The Bible teaches that at the end of the world all the wicked will come under eternal punishment in a place called Hell, and this time may be very near. There is much Biblical evidence that points to the fall of 2011 as the end of the world.

Answer 5

Start at the begging of the premise from an unbias point of view.

If an intelligent being was powerful enough to create all that we know, he also could have set it in motion with all its parts all ready working.

A brand new tree would have many age rings and there would be decaying plants and animals in the soil starting to turn in to oil or create diamonds.

If he truly was an intelligent all powerful being he would not have a problem with this and maybe even find it necessary to complete his plan.

It actually makes sense. If you believe God did it.

Answer 6

Science has changed their mind many time about things.....I believe man has been on the earth for 6000 years.

Another thought if God made the earth in 6 days and rested on the seventh.....could that mean man will be here for 6000 years which a day is a thousand years to the Lord....on the 7th day we will rest. Meaning we are now in that 7th day and Jesus will come soon and we will rest in the millennium..

Answer 7

God created a race of humans who lived on the Earth before He created Adam, the first man. God created the Gentiles on the sixth day when He said, “Let us make man in our image” (Genesis 1:26). He did not create the Jews until after the seventh day, His day of rest. At some point after the seventh day, God created Adam, the father of the Jews.

Cain’s fear of being lynched, his marriage to an unknown woman and the fact that he founded a city (Genesis 4:14-17) are all interpreted as evidence that another race of men coexisted with Adam and his family.

Romans 5:12-14 “Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned--for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.”

This passage is traditionally interpreted as meaning that death began with Adam’s sin and reigned unchecked among men (even among those who haven’t actually eaten the forbidden fruit, those who have sinned but not “in the likeness of the offense of Adam”) until the Law was given to Moses. La Peyrère interpreted this passage another way. According to La Peyrère, the Pre-Adamic Gentiles sinned against God, but in a manner less egregious than Adam (which is why Adam’s sin brought death while there’s didn’t). They merely sinned against God’s moral will. Adam sinned against His Law. Adam disobeyed God’s prohibition by eating the forbidden fruit. He broke the Law of Paradise the Pre-Adamic Gentiles were those who “had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam.”



The Earth is Billions of years old. The Human race around 7,000

Answer 8

It's possible for God to have created the world in 6 days 6000 years ago and for him to have created the world with continental drift in place. Your argument is non-sequitur, and even though I would like any argument against God to work, yours sadly doesn't.

Answer 9

I'll actually back the christians on this one. They're not all retarded, just a growing majority of them. At least here in america. Wanna alternate between being afraid and laughing? Check out this website. http://www.objectiveministries.org/creation/dinoexpedition.html



The sad thing is, it's legit. Make sure you look at the "kidz" drawings, which are undoubtedly done by a fat, old, bald guy who has no idea what LOL means.

Listen, girlie, there are not many Christians who believe the earth is 6000 years old. Only hard-core Fundies believe that.

Answer 11

One can be a Bible believer, and not buy into the idea the earth is only 6000 years old.

Answer 12

Read Genesis 10:25. It states that in the life of Peleg the earth was divided. This was after the flood. So they have moved from one land mass to where they are today.



ADDED:

Science says the same thing so why the thumbs downs.

Answer 13

Who says they were together???? Did you think about that.

Answer 14

Are you sure about this? I think you have an extreme faith to believe what you have not seen. I admire that.
