6000 year old Earth or what happens when fantatics go scientific
Who needs to go visit joke websites when you can read entertaining "scientific" truths as this?
Yes, the website offer simple and easy proof that the Earth is only 6000 years old. Forget all those carbon dating, star gazing craps real scientists use to date anything. Just get out your bible and in 5 (yes, FIVE) steps you can determine the age of the Earth.We need to know that all things that called science, is not science. Sometimes it's simply men’s opinions. We need to learn that all true science is in agreement with the Bible. The Bible is not a science book, but because the Bible contains all truth, all true science will be in agreement with the Bible.
We need to know that the Bible is our guide in this life. In all things, we need to follow the Bible. If there is any question, the Bible has the answer; even in the area of Science. God has not left out what he wants us to believe concerning the creation of this world. He has given us everything we need for time and eternity; therefore, we know he has also given us all the facts we need about the creation of this world.
1. Genesis 5. These genealogies cover 10 generations, from Adam to Noah, and reveals that Noah died when the earth was 2006 years old. Click here to view a table created from Genesis 5.
2. Gen. 11:10-32. These genealogies cover 9 generations, from Shem (the son of Noah) to the death of Terah (Abraham’s dad). This genealogy will give you the age of the earth at the death of Terah, who is the father of Abraham, as 2081. It is very interesting to note that Terah died the very year Abraham received the promise of God in Genesis 12:1-4. It is very true that we will not receive any of the promises of God until we obey the conditions of those promises. God had told Abraham to depart from: (1) his country, (2) his kindred, and (3) his father’s house. Abraham did not receive any of the promises of God until he obeyed completely. We, like Abraham, will receive none of the promises of God until we obey completely. Click here to view a table created from Genesis 11:10-32.
It is interesting to note that Abraham was born the same year Noah died, when the world was 2006 years old. According to Genesis 12:4, Abraham was 75 years old when he received the promises of God. Add 2006 to 75 and we discover the world was 2081 years old when the promise was given to Abraham concerning the coming Saviour and the blessings of God upon the nation of Israel.
3. Galatians 3:16,17 declares, "Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect." Abraham received the promise when the world was 2081 years old. Now, add the 430 years spoken of in Galatians 3:16,17 to 2081, and we discover the world was 2511 years old when the law (the Ten Commandments) was given.
Also read Exodus 12:40,41. "Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. 41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt."
The sojourning of the children of Israel (in Canaan: during the lifetime of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: in Egypt (see Exodus 6:16-20) during the life of Levi, Kohath, Amram, and Moses.
4. I Kings 6:1. This verse will bring us up to the fourth year of Solomon's reign.
I Kings 6:1 states, "And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD."
Now we can add another 480 years to 2511 and we get find it is 2991 years from creation to the fourth year of Solomon’s reign.
5. Using any secular history, look up the date when Solomon reigned. This will be in the area of 1015-975 b. c. If you like, you can go through the books of I and II Kings and prove that Israel went into bondage to the Assyrians in 722 B. C. and Judah went into bondage to Babylon in 606 B. C.
Because we know from secular history that Solomon reigned about 1,000 years before Christ, we can add 1,000 years to 2,991 (the age of the earth when Solomon began to reign) and you get 3991 (the approximate age of the earth when Christ was born.)
I think everybody knows it is approximately 2000 years the time of Christ until now. So add 2000 years to 3991 and you get 5991. That is pretty close to 6,000 years.
It is very clear, is it not, that the Bible proves the age of the universe to be approximately 6,000 years old.

I just realised that article even go as far as to claim that the universe is approximately 6000 years old. Well, at least the guy who wrote this is consistent with the bible. So what happened is God created the universe then Earth exactly 6000 years ago.
If there is a bigger pile of crap I would really want to know. Ok, bad rhetorical question, of course there are bigger piles of crap most of which come from some dude named Bush; however, let's not get political now. While reading the article I was wondering if the author was doing this:
Let's just disregard all those fossilised dinosaur bones that clearly indicated that the Earth is at least a few hundred thousands years old and assume that the Earth is 6000 years old. There is no way anyone can claim that the universe is the same age as the Earth. Take a look at this picture:
This picture is known as the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Every white dots on that picture is a galaxy and all those spirals are galaxies that are closed to Earth. By closed I mean they're only a few billion light years away. In other words, that picture is the picture of how they look a few billion years ago. So even if we disregard the real age of the Earth and assume that it's 6000 years old, the age of the universe should not be the same as the age of the Earth.
Then again, it's only typical of religious fanatics to ignore scientific facts, is it not? I don't really mind religions as long as they don't incite violence and blatantly lie. At least have the decency of integrating real science into religion for the new century to make yourself look less like an idiot. Take Islam for example, they claim that Allah is responsible for the Big Bang, now that's integrating science into mainstream religion.
Footnote: for you information, the real age of the Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years, the age of the universe is, depending on what methods you use to determine, approximately 12.8 Gyr (giga years?)
