Why do you think the world/universe is about 6,000 years old? [Spirituality & Religion]

@SW-User or this is just a computer simulation and we are just a sub routine in some elaborate game

@AngelofFail this is about the time when the existential crisis happens

@SW-User thats when you rely on absurdism and camus

@lightshinesthroughdarkness

That would seem likely, wouldn't it?

@lightshinesthroughdarkness There is also the "gap theory", and the Hebrew 'does' translate vs 2 as "The earth became without form......."

@NeloAngelo People have chosen to interpret the words of men who 'were', or 'were not', divinely inspired by the ALMIGHTY AND EVERLASTING GOD OF ABRAHAM , ISAAC, AND JACOB. Yahweh spoke through the prophet , Jeremiah and plainly said that all the words of man contained in the scripture are not necessarily divinely inspired. Jeremiah 8:8 states...

"7 Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord.

8 [quote]How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.[/quote]

9 The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?

10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall inherit them: for every one from the least even unto the greatest is given to covetousness, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

11 For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall: in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, saith the Lord.

oh wow your very long and preachy reply has shown me the error of my ways. allow me to beg penance.

@NeloAngelo Cool! It's refreshing to see a humble and sincere acknowledgement of error! Don't you feel better now? Now finish your vegetables and get outta here, ya varmint! 😆

@puck61

Sounds like you're making it work lol

@Gusman The bible doesn't even say the age of the earth. Several interpreters put together the age of the earth from the ages of the Jews in the genealogies contained therein.

@xixgun I'll never understand how they can rationalize the "young earth" thing, when they can look into a clear midnight sky with minimal ambient light and see their folly right in front of their eyes! I like to listen to those who do not accept the gap theory explain how the theist, Albert Einstein propagated a demonic delusion to trick those wicked independent thinkers into eternal indescribable agony.
"Speed of light? Pish Posh! They don't make a radar gun advanced enough to measure the speed of light!"

@SW-User

gotta catch em all
