It doesn't. Ever. The 6000 year old earth is a product of counter intelligence within the scientific community and the religious right from the 80s and 90s. It's based on the 4000 years of family lineage between Adam to Jesus. The concept is laughable since later in the bible the suggesting crops up that in early times man's lives could be measured in hundreds of years.

According to the old testament Methuselah lived till 969! His kids lived into their 700s.

So, the 6000 figure is selective religious dogma meant to force a divide between the religious and the scientifically curious.

There's a complete genelogy in Scripture where you can trace the families all the way back to Adam and Eve, who were created shortly after the universe, roughly 4000 years B.C. Then you add 2000 years to get to current day.

HTH.

What was there before the beginning of the universe? Did time start with its beginning? Can something come from nothing? But if there was something, then it really wasn't the beginning, now was it?


Science don't fail me!

The universe didn't begin the way we understand the concept of "start." As with reality, the light bulb is on or off, when it's off there is nothing and when it's on light fills every space. Past, present and future. All at once.

I thought this was the accepted "truth" for a long time and that scientist tried their hardest to fit into that time frame.

That was how a lot of the crazy ideas before Evolution came about in the scientific community. (see inheritance of acquired characteristics)

It wasn't to cause a divide.

Darwin's research is what caused the truth and the divide to happen.

It has been a while since I was in a biology course.

I am probably wrong.

Says the glue sniffing conspiracy nut.

At least the Bible is something REAL written by people who talk to GOD!!
Not just some loony theory a bunch of hippies though up in a shack somewhere.
