Young earth Creationism

[naomi24]

Does anyone here believe the earth was created by God around 6000 years ago?

[mibn2cweus]

Well, being as the universe is over 13 billion years old, He'd have had plenty of time for deciding where to put the garden, the tree . . . and the snake.

[naomi24]

Err... how about the shed?

And can we please leave the snake out of this? :o/

[mibn2cweus]

So one the 7th day He wasn't resting after all . . . He was building a shed?

A wood shed no doubt . . . the one my dad would take me out to.

[naomi24]

Could well have been that one. Every chance, I'd say.

[mibn2cweus]

Well maybe one just like it. It did look about 6000 years old though . . . at the time.

[mibn2cweus]

. . . and the board he used that was in it couldn't have been much younger!

I wonder if it was the same board . . . umm? Nevermind.

[naomi24]

Ahh... so you're a Young Earth Creationist. Mmmm..... the truth is coming out now. ;o)

Bishop Ussher did the maths and worked out that the world was about 6000 years old. I'm not sure that's still the view of the Anglican Church, though.

[steg]

6000 earth years ago or 6000 god years ago?

[mibn2cweus]

6000 ~ 600000000 . . . what's a few zeros compared to that which created them? Or am I missing something? ;o)

[naomi24]

^^ A screw, perchance? :o)

[JonnyBoy12]

Believe it? I think that some of us here can remember it!

[naomi24]

^^ I meant that in the garden shed, tool kind of variety.....

Oops... I think I'm digging myself in deeper here. Better shut up.

[mibn2cweus]

If you've got one to spare . . . I wouldn't complain. :o)

[naomi24]

^^ Sperlatt! :o)

Only one potential Young Earth Creationist then?

[chakka35]

sandyRoe, you do Bishop Ussher an injustice. He didn't give such a vague time for the creation. He said it was on the midnight preceding Sunday October 23 4004 BC. Do get these importaant dates right, otherwise where would theism be?

[naomi24]

I wonder how he worked that out?

[Ankou]

he used lots of sources and various calendars and kepplers tables, put two and two together to make midnight.

he then had a rethink and put three and three together and changed it to 6pm.

i imagine he was sponsored by accurist.

[mibn2cweus]

Consolation prize. Can't say, "I didn't see that one coming."

Still . . . no complaints! :o)

[naomi24]

You're lookin' good! :o)
