Quote by: Winter wind Where does it put the age of the earth at 600 years old? Point to the Bible passage, please? |
It's 6,000 years.
"The Bible provides a complete genealogy from Adam to Jesus. You can go through the genealogies and add up the years. You'll get a total that is just over 4,000 years. Add the 2,000 years since the time of Jesus and you get just over 6,000 years since God created everything." --

Quote by: Zhavric Nah. Start a thread about it if you care to. This has spiraled out of control already... and you're really the only person I've ever met who has a different idea of the age of the planet |
To the contrary, most Christians I know concede that the Earth is vastly older than 6,000 years, and accept Genesis as more poetry than narrative.
In fact it's my understanding that only about half of Christians adhere to the literal
Young Earth creationism.
That's half too many for my idea of an educated nation, but still....
