Is the Earth 4.5 Billion years old?

It looks like you have to be a member before you can get to the masterpiece, and I'm not prepared to join Rapture Ready even for the sake of having a laugh at their expense.
 
*sniff* Aaahhh... I love the smell of outdated, utterly rejected Omphalos Theory in the morning.

Sorry about that.

BTW, Geni. Omphalos doesn't have anything about the earth looking old because of sin, only that it was created old. Not the same thing at all.

You'll have to click the link to see and appreciate the entire line of reasoning, but here is the conclusion:

Cute. Of course, it's entirely wrong, as any document examiner or, for that matter, detective, can tell you. A document that has been subjected to the type of abuse the poster describes would not look old. It would look damaged.

This is something important for forgers to know. There's an interesting book that I can recommend : The Man Who Never Was, which describes the process of creating a fake identity for a corpse in WWII, a corpse that was to be delivered to the Germans with important "secret" (disinformation) documents. One of the key problems that they had was in figuring out how to make his identity convincing, including making letters look "old" without making them look like someone had just crumpled them up.

I think I'm glad that the poster wasn't involved in that operation. The entire operation might have been blown.
 
An interesting anecdote, drkitten.
And yes, everything indicates the Earth is about 4.5 billion years old.
I was reading through some of RATE's ah evidence for a 6,000 year old Earth and I found it embarrassing even to read.
What does it take to pervert minds so thoroughly, I wonder.
 
The Earth is actually 4,500,000,033 years old. I know this because when I was in high school I was taught that it was 4,500,000,000 years old, and that was 33 years ago.
 
Actually the Earth is 9 Billion years old, it only looks 4.5 Billion because of a face lift it got 2,000 years ago.
 
Its Rapture Ready.

Doesn't even bear discussion.

Next time you are on there (or any Christian site), vigorously agree with everything they say. It pisses them off to no end.
 
It makes perfect sense. Mrs. Thompson is only thirty but had a life of sin, suntanning and suffered through a tornado and Earthquake so she only LOOKS sixty.
 
Absolutely, paximperium.
I especially like the image of the land masses careering about the planet's surface, bashing into one another and separating during a year's time.
I daresay from an off-planet perspective it would have looked rather like dodge'em cars at a funfair.
 
that really is funny, perhaps you should suggest that the reason that the earth looks 4 1/2 billion but is really 6013 years old is because it was built by an unregistered cowboy builder, who took lots of short cuts with the building code and who wasn't properly supervised by a governing body
:p

Ok y'all stay with me.

For this Experiment you will need: a brand new Bible, one roll of tape, bowel full of fiber.

Look at the Bible, note that it is brand new.
Step 1: Open Bible to Gen 1 and read verses 1-5
Step 2: Gently remove the page on which it's printed, wipe your rump with it, and tape it back in the Bible.
Step 3: read Gen 1:6-13
Step 4: Gently remove the page on which it's printed, wipe your rump with it, and tape it back in the Bible.
Step 5: Read Gen 1:14-19
Step 6: Gently remove the page on which it's printed, wipe your rump with it, and tape it back in the Bible.
Step 7: read Gen 1:20-23
Step 8: Gently remove the page on which it's printed, wipe your rump with it, and tape it back in the Bible.
Step 9: Read Gen 1:24-31
Step 10: Gently remove the page on which it's printed, wipe your rump with it, and tape it back in the Bible.
Step 11: Sit back and look at Bible. See how full of shinola it looks?
Step 12: Read Gen 3
Step 13: Gently remove the page on which it's printed, wipe your rump with it, and tape it back in the Bible.
SHIN has entered the world

Blather, rinse, repeat.

God Bless y'all
