In Genisis if you add up the who begot whos and how long they lived and so forth you end up with 6000 years.. ITS NOT ME saying such.. its those that BELIEVE that the bible IS the Word of God and since the genealogy Says that it all began 6000 years ago those that BELIEVE it is the Word of God Say It must be so. ANd in Fact if you do the maths in Genisis it does come to aproximatly 6000 years since Adam and Eve poped up from the dirt.

If you say at any point the words in the Bible are the word of god then you MUST take every word at face value. If you say No "I can read it to mean" Then You and anyone can make it mean anything you like but ( Back to Logic) If you say you, just a man, can take its words to mean other than as written then It has to be either NOT the word of god or You are placing Your version of it Over Gods Word.

If you read the words" 7 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. " Then God looks like you and me if the bible is his word.. So you cant then now say well god is the unseen energy of the universe or some other version of what god is because it fits the known scientific dogma.

If you take it as the Word of God then God is a physical entity.. Theres many , many passages that say one thing and the Believers then interpret it to Mean something other than as written ..when you do that its logical to state its either Not the word of god or the person is over ruling gods word.

Last time I will address this also as to believe in anything is to throw logic to the wind.

As I said before if believing causes one to do good, help thy fellow man, love thy neighbor, in other words to act in Honor ( Honor is doing the right thing when no one is looking) then its great.. But History shows that most the time it ends in tragedy because men fall to the My Gods better than Your God mind set and people die in the millions..
The age of Adam and Eve and the age of the earth are two different conversations.
You never mentioned Adam and Eve, you said the earth was 6000 years old.
It's clear that you can't back up your original comment so now you're jumping around to other things.

Even though the bible appears to contradict itself in just about every subject, it really doesn't. God is a Spirit. But we know that Jesus is the image of the invisible God. The Lord is that Spirit. Jesus is Lord. So God made man in his own image. Jesus created all things. Yes, God is a man. It's clear right from the creation in Genesis, that God spoke, so he has a mouth. God formed man of the dust of the ground, so he has hands and fingers. God has feelings so he has a heart. God can see with his eyes and hear with his ears. Yes, we were made in the image of God. God is a man. Jesus is God. Jesus is eternal. The Son of God is without father, without mother, without descent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of life. Jesus is God himself.

Doesn't every seed come from itself? Why is it logical to think that we are exempt from this law in nature? Why is it so hard to believe that we came from a man? Doesn't weed come from weed? Don't you need a Cannabis plant to get Cannabis seeds? What makes you think that we are any different? Every seed comes from itself, and we are not excluded from this. God is a man, that's why there is men on the earth. Plain and simple!

I hear people often say that life is the result of a miracle chance of one in a million. You would have to say that this one in a million chance took place in everything alive cause one thing did not come from the other. Another words, what does the Cannabis plant have to do with man being on the earth? We always debate about how man got here, but how did the plant get here? Was that a one in a million chance as well? We can go on and on about everything that exists and debate how it all got here. :jointsmile:
