All Christians understand that the earth is older than Adam and Eve. It does not matter whether they believe in theistic evolution or young earth Creation. The Bible states in Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Adam are not created until day six however you calculate the days, you are presented with a clear order of creation.

What on earth makes you think I believe carbon dating has anything to do with the age of the earth?

I am not fanatically blind. Just read what I wrote, obviously I am aware that it is use to date objects that contain carbon.

Frankly, I am comfortable with my beliefs and respectful of other people's beliefs. Give it a try.

If you are not sure what I mean let me make it plan. It is not respectful to imply some is too stupid to understand basic high school science; it is also disrespectful to call someone, who not murdering others for their beliefs, a fanatic.

When did being a bible believing Christian cease to be mainstream behavior and become fanatical. I always thought I was just a boring college educated Missouri Synod Lutheran. When I look in the mirror I see a middle-aged wife, mother, and economist but someone reads my post and sees a fanatic. Wow fanatics sure are changing.

Not really. Useless someone has found something that is 60,000 years old, or over 10,000 years.

Thank you for your comment. In general, I understand your point about grandfather/father especially when the genealogies are not the same; it is what explains the differences.

Did not miss anything, I just find the conversation about the Holy Bible more interesting. Is that allowed?

How does that actually apply when you are adding up ages? Are you suggesting farthered means grandfathered? I'm comfortable with ESV.

When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. Genesis 5:3

When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh. Genesis 5:6

When Enosh had lived 90 years, he fathered Kenan. Genesis 5:9

When Kenan had lived 70 years, he fathered Mahalalel. Genesis 5:12

Etc.

I don't make such an assumption but, what do you do with: "Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died." Genesis 5:5

Does day, which is written the same way -- 'And there was evening and there was morning', mean one thing on day six and something different on day one?

I much more comfortable with the earth appears old, such as Adam was a grown man even though he was only one day old. But mostly I comfortable with "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding." Genesis 38:4

Sorry you lost me, but I was just saying the if one adds up the ages of the individuals in presented in the genealogies you can see were the 6000 comes from and it is not very difficult. I am not suggesting that anyone must believe the Bible is true. I really do not understand your point about a flat earth and the like.

Wow Christians whose beliefs were not being ridiculed or mock are not offended. It is so amazing you demonstrate such a magnificent sense of humor. Pat yourself on the back, you are almost as enlighten as a David Brooks/Peggy Noonan conservative.

They can be if the Bible is false.
