"The Earth is just 6,000 Years Old" - Are you able to prove / disprove that?

billions!! there are several proven ways to find that stuff existed more than 6000 years ago... carbon 14 dating, universe expansion calculatinG...

Well although time and history arent my hobbies I do believe the planet is older then 6000 years. Im pretty sure there have been fossils that have dated bacl way longer then that. I also dont believe for a minute this planet is a billion years old either because there is no way to prove any of this. Sure they proved there was an ice age and all that but who can really prove how old the earth is? I dont think its possible to tell so that why theirs so many conflicting stories on the time line of man.

I wonder where people have get the idea that the Bible should say that the earth is only 6000 years old..?? If we read the first verse: Genesis 1:1 "In [the] beginning God created the heavens and the earth." There is nothing there that says how long it took to create the stars and planets including the earth. It could have taken millions of years. Just think how long it must have taken for the surface of the earth to cool down enough so that there could be water on it. If we study the Bible carefully, we find that the creation days must be thousands of years long and they started *after* the earth, the material heavens, and the enormous oceans were created.

The ONLY reason that leads some people to believe in a universe that is less than 6.000 years old is literal interpretation of a religious text. There's no 2 ways about that. No matter that some try to pretend otherwise, their reasons to believe in a young earth are religious. There are some who go so far as to try to find scientific "evidence" for that, but invariably this ends up being just mischaracterization, misinterpretation, or flat-out lies about the overwhelming evidence we have, showing that the world is billions of years old.
