why do people still think the world is only 6000 years old?

if there are anyyoung-earth creationistson here, please, explain

They find it hard to comprehend that it's actually billions of years old.

So they rather believe stuff from a book. :|

T'was a guess.

The same reason that people believe in Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, alien abductions, bizarre conspiracy theories and other such nonsense: people are idiots.morewasabi

Bigfoot, and aliens don't exist?

It was actually created yesterday, and we were created today with memories of its "past".SolidSnake35

wow. That's pretty good :D

Yeah I'm always thinking about that kind of stuff

I watched this documentary that stated that the method for determening the age of something is very inaccurate...like the fur of an animal may be 14 million years old, but its bones show that its only 3.5 million years old...

Same documentary also tried to disprove the Big Bang theory by asking where did the matter originate from?

I haven't researched any further on the subject...but for the 2nd question I stated...you could always counter w/ where did God come from?

Ahhh, I love the first argument. "Well this test says it's a milion years old" "well this one says it's only 500 thousand years old" They're wrong both ways.

Simply put; ignorance.

There is good evidence to support that the Earth is approx. 4 billion years old.

I apologize for generalizing but doesn't the Bible state that the world is ~6000 years old?

And if your a Christian you believe the Bible no?

Well, I find it pretty strange aswell. The Bible (starting from Genesis 5) gives us a pretty good timeline don't you think? Want to do a little math here and calculate all those generations?

We pollute the planet thus reducing how much longer it has to live
