I think that people could not have possibly known their history 1,000,000,000 years into the past. They didn't even have a word for "billion" back then. Was somebody counting the billions of years? Or did the God who never reveals anything about himself tell the writers of the Bible?

Well, if we want to put down the ancient books and actually look at the scientific evidence, we find that the Earth is about 4,500,000,000 years old. I don't know about you, but to me dating rocks is a much more reliable method of finding out the age of the Earth than reinterpreting ancient books in which ancient peoples wrote down how old they thought it was.


But we only have human fossils dating back 100,000 or 200,000 years. If you can find some 7,000,000,000 year old human fossils, well, that would be something!

And where's your proof? Or did you just pull this right out of your ass again?

This is where it gets into things so ridiculous I'm not even going to bother with them.
aiieyaaa.....



alright.

working backwards, pull your head out of your ass. (insult met with insult)

i believe there was a PBS special, or History Channel thing... something on TV, that documented a million or half a million year old corpse, and as for dating rocks, how do you determine the age of molten rock? the age of the earth must be determined from the inside out, such as the tree trunk's rings, and i am quite certian, unless you'd like to prove me wrong, that we have never reached the core with any tools yet, im sure we havent even dug half way down into the earth yet, so how can they know old old this old rock really is?

and doubling back, how do you know that there arent any 7 million year old corpses just below our reach?


also, 1 million years in the past, we did not need history, and were rapidly devolving into an ignorance to develope it.

history was origonally useless if we were gods, and if we de evolved, it's logical that history (let alone technology) would later be developed.


as for that proving anything, i was thinking more along the lines of how it closer matched what science has proven so far... given that the bible misinterpreted billion.

it shows that we had an accurate understanding of the age of the earth before there was technology that could provide such knowledge.
