The Bible claims the Earth, the solar system, the stars and the entire universe were invented by God in 7 days, only 6,000 years ago. The Bible can not be used to make future predictions. No one can see into the future. Doomsday cults pushing end times prophesy nonsense will continue to brainwash gullible uneducated people. |
A lot of christian scholars, like Willian Lane Craig and John Lennox, think the Bible DO NOT state the 6k years period.
I, in other hand, right now, believe the young Earth could be a reality. As far as I know the fossils and oil reserves could be formed in the Noah´s Flood.
However, I am not entirely sure, there are problems with the datation methods like Carbon 14 and others, but I could be wrong on this one.
My favorite authors do not agree with the young Earth timeline, I still think it is totally possible.
However, this is one of those things we will only know for sure after we die, Pascal wager kind of deal once again.
I do agree that the darwinian timetable is the widespread opinion and I know for sure how ridiculous it sounds to believe in 6k timeline. But, well, even more stupid things were proved truth.
This is one of these "I think this, but I could very well be wrong" kind of deals, really.
It is like when I think a girl likes me, but I can only be sure if I ask her. Sometimes not even asking. Many girls say they do not like you out of nervousness. Happened to me before...
My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.
