More proofs that the Bible is accurate in it's historical record. Ice cores from Mt Kilamanjaro testify to the drought which Joseph predicted for Egypt. in his time.
God in His infinite wisdom created the earth in 7 days and man in his finite wisdom hasn't been able to figure it all out since......makes sense to me!
Well, the Bible, when taken in a literal sense, and using it in the chronological order in which it is written.
The earth is about 7500 years old, give or take a hundred years or so.
So, when I look at scientific evidence of millions of years of climate change, and fossil carbon dating, I naturally roll my eyes, and move on to the next science fiction article.

Say it ain't so or that I missed the SARCASM flag on the field. Is it possible that you ACTUALLY believe that? I would be crushed...
One cannot look at the Infinity of the Universe, ignore human exploration and scientific evidence, or attempt to justify that timeline on its creation and that of Earth.
Well said Rosewood.
When we know Him personally we can't deny His existence or how He works in our lives daily, that denial would be for those who only know a little about Him, an outward form of godliness.
What most do not understand is what we read in the first chapter of Genesis is a recreation not the original creation, the earth is millions of years old, the earth was put in utter destruction with the rebellion of Satan and his third of the angles when he went to heaven and tried to kick God off his throne. you can read that in Isaiah and Ezekiel. Revaluation 12 tells us about the war in heaven also and how Satan was cast back to earth., Satan is the g,od of this world the, bible tells us that Christ said he was the god of this world that is why he was able to offer everything to Christ at his trial, all Christ would have had to do was worship Satan and it would have been his, Christ would have not had to die but we would have had no savior either. Modern man has only been on the earth around 7 thousand years. This is the reason that there is a problem in how old the earth is because people do not understand that Genesis is a recreation not the first creation. King David wrote in the Psalms that you renewed the face of the earth.
Holy smokes Deacon! I am 62 years young and had never heard that rendition of creation in relationship to everything relevant to timeline dating. I am intrigued to say the least. Maybe I am even more ignorant than I thought. Ignorant meaning having lack of knowledge and all. I am open minded enough to want to research this further....just because it's new to me. Can you recommend any good reads concerning your post?
When the science people and the church people look at all this information they can all agree that the earth is millions of years old how old we cannot really know. Humanly we cannot under stand how God has always existed there was never a time when there was no God. Our brains cannot process that because we have had a beginning, we were created by our mother and father through a process that God placed in each of us male and female to be able to recreate them selves and we also have an ending for it is given for man or mankind to die once. Our minds cannot except the fact that we at onetime did not exist. I can remember back as far as when I was about 3 but before that I know nothing about myself except what my mother has told me when I was baby but it is hard for me to try and rap my mind around the fact that at one time I was not here, I do not or have any memory of me being inside my mother. We also have in our booklets a great book that you might like I don't think it is a download but not sure as we have so many. It is called From a speck of dust to a son of God. It is really hard to read that book and see the plan of God for all mankind and think about all the heartless women who have killed their children for selfish purposes. We have Roe V Wade today (Abortions') in this country because of the fact that the woman in the case hated her Husband so much that she would not have his baby after they had separated and she found she was pregnant.
This is a good discussion we can learn from each other, everyone has their own views on any subject.
Carbon dating used to be supposedly accurate back to 50,000 years but now recent articles I have read reduced that to 45,000 years.
I can accept that.
Whether the Earth's fauna and flora are 7,000 years old or 70,000 years old is debating how many fleas are on the aver wild mouse, not important.
This is a very true statement. It really doesn't matter. Much of the debate over even doctrine in the Bible is irrelevant to whether you go to Heaven or not.
My biggest issue with the dating is the evolutionist use it in attempts to disprove the Bible. Those same folks will read the writings on a cave wall and state it must be fact or they wouldn't have written it, but argue the Bible which has thousands of years of history and archeological evidence to support it is fake.
The God-denying liberals laugh at us Christians when they say the Earth is only 6000 to 7000 years old. Of them, I ask "What is a year to God?" Could a "year" to God be a million years-- or a hundred million years-- to a human? God does not wear a wristwatch. God does not have a wall calendar. God needs no concept of time as we understand it, but He does know when He shall destroy the Earth a second time and bring all humans to Judgment. There have been those who have been saying for centuries that the End of Days is nigh. Only God knows the date and time, and it is not for us to question His schedule...
INTELLIGENT DESIGN is what I believe.
I believe that the earth is millions of years old.
Scientists say that the earth was once a ball of fire, so, any live thing on this earth could only be here by the hand of GOD.
Things evolved by HIS plan and a timeline is irrelevant, because we are here now and should worship our creator.

Ken Hamm says the earth is a few thousand years old, an provides some convincing arguments, scientists claim the world is eons old, and can produce
some convincing "evidence" ! Both take much faith to believe..
OK, so I am a Christian and my faith leads me to believe God above all...but then, there are some scientists who worship a different god..
So, the 'fossil record' says the earth is millions or billions of years old, but we understand that God created the earth. Strangely, fossils have been found in unexpected places. Aquatic fossils high on the tallest mountains..could be earth upheveals or evidence of the flood..
Or it could be evidence that God looked in a far corner of his creation, and translated material from a failing planet, to make a new one..
Radio-carbon dating...has not proven itself to be an absolute determinative factor..and the further back we go, the less reliable it is !
I am not bound to Bishop Usher's 6,000 year schedule, but I do believe God created what he would, when he would..
After all..who is to either give or withhold him permission ?
