Planet Earth is older than six thousand years

Now Mike. I did not intend to get biblical on you. But your back sided comments and general ignorance have given me no other choice. Now as far as I and over 3.8 BILLION other people (1) on earth are concerned, the old testament accurately depicts the genealogy of Abraham back to Adam and Eve, and when you add on 5 days (the time between the creation of Earth and the creation of Adam), you get the creation of earth. You can then follow Adam's line down to Noah in Genesis 5. "1: This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. 2: Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. 3: When Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4: The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; and he had other sons and daughters. 5: Thus all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. 6: When Seth had lived a hundred and five years, he became the father of Enosh. 7: Seth lived after the birth of Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters. 8: Thus all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died. 9: When Enosh had lived ninety years, he became the father of Kenan. 10: Enosh lived after the birth of Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years, and had other sons and daughters. 11: Thus all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died. 12: When Kenan had lived seventy years, he became the father of Ma-hal'alel. 13: Kenan lived after the birth of Ma-hal'alel eight hundred and forty years, and had other sons and daughters. 14: Thus all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died. 15: When Ma-hal'alel had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Jared. 16: Ma-hal'alel lived after the birth of Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and had other sons and daughters. 17: Thus all the days of Ma-hal'alel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he died. 18: When Jared had lived a hundred and sixty-two years he became the father of Enoch. 19: Jared lived after the birth of Enoch eight hundred years, and had other sons and daughters. 20: Thus all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died. 21: When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methu'selah. 22: Enoch walked with God after the birth of Methu'selah three hundred years, and had other sons and daughters. 23: Thus all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24: Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. 25: When Methu'selah had lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, he became the father of Lamech. 26: Methu'selah lived after the birth of Lamech seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had other sons and daughters. 27: Thus all the days of Methu'selah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died. 28: When Lamech had lived a hundred and eighty-two years, he became the father of a son, 29: and called his name Noah, saying, "Out of the ground which the Lord has cursed this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands." 30: Lamech lived after the birth of Noah five hundred and ninety-five years, and had other sons and daughters. 31: Thus all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died. 32: After Noah was five hundred years old, Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth." You can then trace Noah's line down to Abraham in Genesis 11. 10: These are the descendants of Shem. When Shem was a hundred years old, he became the father of Arpach'shad two years after the flood; 11: and Shem lived after the birth of Arpach'shad five hundred years, and had other sons and daughters. 12: When Arpach'shad had lived thirty-five years, he became the father of Shelah; 13: and Arpach'shad lived after the birth of Shelah four hundred and three years, and had other sons and daughters. 14: When Shelah had lived thirty years, he became the father of Eber; 15: and Shelah lived after the birth of Eber four hundred and three years, and had other sons and daughters. 16: When Eber had lived thirty-four years, he became the father of Peleg; 17: and Eber lived after the birth of Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and had other sons and daughters. 18: When Peleg had lived thirty years, he became the father of Re'u; 19: and Peleg lived after the birth of Re'u two hundred and nine years, and had other sons and daughters. 20: When Re'u had lived thirty-two years, he became the father of Serug; 21: and Re'u lived after the birth of Serug two hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters. 22: When Serug had lived thirty years, he became the father of Nahor; 23: and Serug lived after the birth of Nahor two hundred years, and had other sons and daughters. 24: When Nahor had lived twenty-nine years, he became the father of Terah; 25: and Nahor lived after the birth of Terah a hundred and nineteen years, and had other sons and daughters. 26: When Terah had lived seventy years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 27: Now these are the descendants of Terah. Terah was the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran was the father of Lot. 28: Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur of the Chalde'ans. 29: And Abram and Nahor took wives; the name of Abram's wife was Sar'ai, and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and Iscah. 30: Now Sar'ai was barren; she had no child. 31: Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sar'ai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram's wife, and they went forth together from Ur of the Chalde'ans to go into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Haran, they settled there. 32: The days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran." If you crunch the numbers you end up getting around 2,000 years. Whether you are religious are not Abraham lived in roughly 2,000 B.C (2). That leaves 4,000 years to today, and you get 6,000 years. Now the 3.8 billion Christians, Muslims, and Jews that believe in the Old Testament make up a majority of Earth's population (7 billion). And in the scientific world that you are so fond you only need a majority for something to become accepted as true. So if the majority of Earth believes that the Earth is 6,000 years old then it is accepted as true. (1) http://www.pewforum.org... (2) http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org...
