    It's not as funny as believing that the world evolved around space slime.

    earth is 4.5 billion years old and has 30 sedimentary rock layers containing the fossils of creatures which are different in each layer and which no longer exist in our world now.

    some of those creatures appear man like.

    we have been here walking on top of these former creations for 6000 years.

    Jesus has been busy creating / experimenting with different life for a very long time - john 1.1-15

    we are offered the opportunity to become immortals to continue on living forever when this present world is again cleared of all organic life about 1000 years from now - 2 peter 3.3 / revelation 20 / revelation 21

    Young-earth creationists believe the earth is only 6000 years old. This is a fringe doctrine to which the great majority of Christians do not subscribe.

    When you grow up, you'll understand that religion is based on faith and that is believing without proof. If God came by and had lunch with you, you would have to believe. You saw him at your table. That would be almost forcing you to follow him. Once you met him, you couldn't NOT believe.

    Rather than do that, he gives you the choice. You have free will and you decide. As far as aging the planet is concerned. Who cares ! Religion isn't a science and what is not clear, can become clear if you study their findings. This isn't something three kids on a swing set came up with. Serious people studied and came up with this conclusion. I'm not a scholar, so I don't doubt them, until I gather enough info to be sure I understand what their saying.

    Name one scientific theory that has stood the test of time. None have. Science is testing and retesting, religion isn't about change, it's about staying the same.

    No. Creationists believe the earth is only 6000 years old. Creationists form part of the wider Christian community, but they do not represent all Christians. They don't even represent the majority of Christians. The Roman Catholic Church, representing half of all Christianity has officially endorsed evolution as God's vehicle to bring forth humanity. Many protestant denominations also accept evolution as the process God used. Only a minority of Christian groups and individuals are creationists. They do tend to be concentrated in certain parts of the United States, where they may appear the majority, but they really aren't.

    A minority of Christians believe this. A generalization should deal with the majority.

    What matters is the result:

    -The United Nation’s Human Development Index ranks nations by life expectancy, literacy, education and GDP per capita. The top 50 encompass 700 million in Judao-Christian nations; Muslim nations encompass 5 million people (out of 1.5 billion people).

    -hdr.undp.org/en/media/HDR_20072008_GEM.pdf The UN’s Gender Empowerment Measure ranks nations by women’s equality: No major Muslim nation is in the top 50.

    -Nobel SCIENCE prizes awarded to America in last 50 years? 171. ALL Muslim nations? 3.

    -Number of universities in US and UK? 3,600. ALL Muslim nations? 600 (for 1.5 billion people).

    -The UN's Arab Development Report on books translated per million people: Hungary 519; Spain 920; Israel 380; Arabia 4.

    -Tunis based Arab League: 76% of Arabs, ages 15 to 45, are illiterate.

    -Patents are evidence of a nations creative activities: new drugs, electronics, satellites, the internet, food processing, cars -- everything we need to live better lives: Total patents held, worldwide, 3.8 million; US holds 2.1 million; ALL Muslim nations hold only 1,000.

    They are correct. Folks who say the world is millions or billions of years old are lying.

    It's difficult to laugh at such stupidity

    Fortunately, not all Christians believe that nonsense. Just the ones living under a rock.
