DOST THOU believe in BIBLICAL chronology?

[Rethel]

Shortly:

6-8k years since the Creation,
4-5k years since the Flood etc.

I do believe in it, as it is the fact, even scientific one.

[Satem]

Nope, for me the order of some processes like creation of world makes sense but not really chronology and length of each period.

[gixajo]

No.

[Dard]

As a Christian, I believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, so yes.

[Rethel]

Nope, for me the order of some processes like creation of world makes sense but not really chronology and length of each period.

Why?

[Mingle]

Of course, it's been proven by science as well.

By the way, according to this person, the earth is exactly 6,244 years old. Do you agree or is your estimate a bit different?

Nope.

According to Hebrew text it should be close to 6000 years, to LXX some 7500. Echatologically both make sense.

The main problem are periods of time about which Bible doesn't tell us, and we have to depend on secular sources.

For example, period since fall of Babylon to Jesus is based on such dependence.

Only chronology I believe is the one in my cheap 5 euro watch.

[Satem]

Why?

Some geological processes can't happen so fast. For example it takes thousands of years for orogeny and then erosion.

[Wanderer]

Yes, absolutely! The earth cannot be billions of years old. The earth is losing its magnetic field much too fast for it to be old. They have found collagen and red blood cells belonging to the T-Rex, showing the dinosaurs were not millions of years old, as these things can't last that long. No - dinosaurs are simply what people have known as dragons, and we have these "mythical" creatures in diverse cultures (e.g., Europe, China has the year of the dragon, etc.). Moreover, there are literally hundreds of flood stories in diverse cultures as well. They've found fossils of animals eating each other, showing these were fossilized by rapid burial (i.e., the flood) not a slow process.



The solar nebula model of how the solar system allegedly formed from a swirling cloud of gas and dust has numerous failures. The sun, having >99% of the mass of the solar system, would violate the law of conservation of angular momentum by having only 2% of the angular moment of the solar system.

Almost everywhere we look in the solar system, our observations show that these objects cannot be billions of years old. Just consider comets - these objects lose mass much too fast to be old. Here's a great video which explains all that:
