That would be a non-biblical answer.
Jesus, who is God, the second of the Godhead, created not only the world but also the entire universe. As a christian church seeker you should be aware of that.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

God does not wait for Bishop Ussher
(over 1000 pages needed to document his conclusion)
So, being God's Truth and all, you'd expect
the answer to be clear. Here are the estimates (B.C.) of
Creation dates before Ussher pulled out his abacus:
5501, 5492, 5426, 5411, 5199, 4192, 4141, 4103, 4079, 4062, 4053, 4051, 4042, 4041, 4021, 4005, 4004, 4001, 3983, 3975, 3974, 3971, 3971, 3970, 3968, 3966, 3964, 3963, 3958, 3949, 3927, 3836
That doesn't look like God's Truth to me.
I say it's a positively phoney use of scripture
on the order of Scientology.
Keep in mind regarding all those numbers found in scripture:
20For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.
Here is your new proposed version:
20 For since the writings of Bishop Ussher, God’s invisible qualities,
His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being
understood from a Creation date estimate and His workmanship,
so that men are without excuse (after 1701.)
(which asserted the Julian years, with their three cycles by a certain mathematical prolepsis, to have run down to the very beginning of the world) an artificial epoch, framed out of three cycles multiplied in themselves; for the Solar Cicle being multiplied by the Lunar, or the number of 28 by 19, produces the great Paschal Cycle of 532 years, and that again multiplied by fifteen, the number of the indiction, there arises the period of 7980 years, which was first (if I mistake not) observed by Robert Lotharing, Bishop of Hereford, in our island of Britain, and 500 years after by Joseph Scaliger fitted for chronological uses, and called by the name of the Julian Period, because it cocontained cycle of so many Julian years. Now if the series of the three minor cicles be from this present year extended backward unto precedent times, the 4713 years before the beginning of our Christian account will be found to be that year into which the first year of the indiction, the first of the Lunar Cicle, and the first of the Solar will fall. — J. Ussher, The Annals of the Worldiv (1658)

The conclusion we can derive at is that the earth according to the bible is not millions, billions of years old.

Have you ever read John 1:1?
1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was withGod, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning......And the Word became flesh.
Just for the record, are you telling me Jesus isn't God from eternity past?

To talk about where the Bible is right. It's composed of 66 Book, at least that's the current list. The church got rid of some of the other books that believers once considered inspired. I believe in God and his Son, Jesus Christ aka Christ Michael.
I don't worship the Bible as a document of perfection, a fetish, and idol, a paper Pope.

Well its kind of hard to understand them coming from Noah's flood when the layers buried above them and below them always date to more than 65 million years ago . . . . and go back many millions before that in different cases.

It isn't soft in the rock. What was once "soft tissue" is found fossilized, no longer soft. Some of those can be chemically treated to get soft again, that's all . . . .

That's not true, and Jews don't have Chinese babies, or Australian aborigine babies, or American Indian, Japanese etc.They didn't need to, because there was no world wide flood.
The Hebrews were writings a story about themselves after loosing their national pride and in Babylonian captivity. They were trying to trace their blood lines back to Adam. Being unable to do so they decided to drown the whole world in it's own wickedness. The plan did work but they didn't know we would one day dig up the facts and have science.
