Today is Creation Day. According to Bishop James Ussher (1581-1656), God created the universe on October 23, 4004 BC. That would make the universe 6000 years old in 1997 AD. James Ussher was an Irish Archbishop whose chronology of Biblical history was widely accepted throughout Christianity. Enjoy Creation Day and have a great weekend!!!
Even IF earth was only 6000 years old, it is hard to believe such ignorance still exists after so long.
His calculations are in error, they were based on the ages of people in the Bible, this forgets that the Bible doesn't mention every human born, their age, etc. Nor does it mention what a "day" may be to God, while it does mention that to him 2000 years pass in the "blink of an eye"... Calculate the amount of time it may have taken to create Man then rest based on that.... It is my considered opinion that if this God exists he is still resting....
It's amazing that there are adults who believe in these kind of fairy tales. Truly amazing. These folks just have no understanding of how The Bible came to be.
Your statement makes no sense (which is usually the case). "IF"? If it is, where's the ignorance? Please go back to the DMOZ threads, we have enough clutter as it is here. It's even more amazing that the same small few continue to attack what they do not believe. Anyway, Happy Creation Day to you Zib. Without it, you and Julie would not be here!
Look at your first post, the sad thing is that you can not even see the ignorance that shines through your post.
If you look into the avatar of the first poster, will it tell you to take anything seriously from someone like that (He looks demented). 6000 years ago??? Can we have a camp where we put this people into and never let them out?..Please! or place them in Antarctica.
Someone once said it. That's all they need. Even if ushers calculation wasn't complete cretinous shit it would still only give us the age of humanity. So it's a double whammy of stupidity. Not only do creations believe in a made up calculation, they don't even understand what the calculation would give us. It kinda demonstrates the level of intellect that these people operate at
Yea I think the earth is sick of hearing happy Birthday since its herd it billions of times. since the big bang...
Yay let's all get pseudo-intellectual over an arbitrary date in an arbitrary calendar...And assume there was a big bang...Because as we all know, First there was nothing...Then something appeared and it exploded...So scientific, really... On that note, none of you can celebrate Christmas or any other holiday aside from political ones. OH NO, NO PRESENTS?! Selfish, ignorant, hypocritical, greedy...... It's the Earth's "birthday" and you're making a bullshit case of it. Get off your high horse, it isn't impressing anyone.
