Is the Universe Only 6,000 years old? Young Earth Creationists Say Yes!

[Insuperable]

If only. We all wish this were the case.

Still beats Hindu Shakta.

Universe can't be 6000 years old when Serbs exist over 8000 years

Young Earth Creationists are one of the most dumbest people on this whole entire planet, no way the earth is only just 6,000 years old, There is a lot of evidence (including records, fossils, etc), that the world is far more older the 6,000 years old.

How much evidence have you seen? Or is everything in what you've read and been fed without actually using scientific equipment or methods for yourself? Have you considered the possibilities? Have you acknowledged the gaps both scientifically and in religious explanation? Have you questioned the relevance of the answer to this question in light of the challenges we face right now? Have you studied physics, relativity, and time and how even what we call time is malleable? Consider the corrections that must be made just to keep our network communications possible due to the difference in time experienced by satellites versus the passage of time here on the surface of the planet.

Young earth creationists are no dumber than you or anyone else. However, they may be as judgmental and closed-minded as your post seems to suggest you are. (Which I hope is not the case since I don't know you and don't want the anonymity of the internet to affect my treatment of you as a fellow human being.)

Whether a scientific explanation regarding a big bang and billions of years of evolution or a creationist theory of only six thousand years, both require some degree of faith in unknowns in order to accept them as fact.

Myself, I'm somewhere between the two. I, in the least, believe that known biological life is much younger than science states, but I'm unsure just how young due to gaps that possibly exist in Scripture such as a discontinuity regarding general creation and the garden and the extent of time within the garden and if there were two creations: mankind, man and woman, outside the garden made in the image of God and man and from the man, a woman, who not only were made in the image of God but had the breath of life placed inside of them by the Spirit of God leading them to possess a living soul, from whom we are all descended.

For this reason, while this is all fascinating and I look forward to knowing the answers to all of it, I have to accept that none of this matters in comparison to salvation through Jesus and a renewal of spirit and the imbuing of the Holy Spirit, without which, we are all doomed as the inevitable path humanity will take is toward its own destruction and the destruction of creation itself otherwise. Unfortunately, we are at the point in our collective knowledge that this is now increasingly possible.

I had a teacher who genuinely believed the Universe was only 6000 years old but he was a pentecostal.
