We went into NY City today to the Museum. There was an amazing exhibit: Lives of the Gods: Divinity in Maya Art. There were amazing pieces of art dating back almost 1500+ years.
What struck me as truly amazing, was the fact that the Mayans date the birth of the earth to August 11, 3114, BCE. That year is an interesting landmark. The Jewish calendar shows this year to be 5783. Taking the Mayan calculate year of creation and adding the Gregorian calendar year 2023, one arrives at the year 5137. The Gregorian calendar was first adopted in Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Spain in 1582, and is now universally accepted. The change to the Gregorian calendar was because the previous calendar was thought to be inaccurate. Thus the mere 546 years difference brings you to the question, how could two so diverse ethnic groups date the birth of the earth so similarly?
As a scientist, I "know" the earth is many millions of years old, and the Universe, billions. So why the mismatch, when 2 distinctly different societies are so similar in their calculations?

Personally i believe in the six day creation of the world less than 6k years ago.. because i believe in the bible ..
Evolutionist want to call stuff science when it's actually an imaginary theory because they didn't want to believe in a god and a creator.. but there is no science to prove evolution.. they made it up and it's fiction they push on children and teach as if it were true, even tho it's not true.
Science is something you can test and prove and see clearly with evidence. But there is no such thing for evolution. If you look at it closely it is all man made and manufactured stories of fictional "facts" and date in regards to the age of the earth and there is no evolution of species or "proof" of their claims for the age of the earth
People think they are in the modern age and know more than people ages before them but they are clueless on how technologically advanced some ancient civilizations were..
Anyway i agree that the world is only 5k some years old..
There's a lot of liars in the world and just because 70%~80% of the world believe in evolution because they were taught it in school.. doesn't make it true
Trust actual facts and not hearsay. Even if its printed and served to school children like facts.. evolution of species is fiction and so was the millions and billions of years they made up to cover the fact that it never happens at all, ever
@SStarfish you are entitled to your personal views, but please don't call science liars. I have heard ultra-religious individuals say that when God created the earth, "he" created it already millions, billions of year already old, and if Adam picked up a rock and carbon dated it, he would have found it millions of years old. To me that is twisting the story to have it align with science, but if that gives you comfort, the real reason for religion, than so be it.
