You can do a google search if you want to know the age of the earth.
Learn how radiometric dating, isotopes, and half-life help scientists estimate the age of Earth to be 4.5 billion years.

That age is, of course, as of July 18th, 2024.

So that's it, we can trace every generation going back to Adam and Eve
We can trace the generations in the Bible back to Adam and Eve. Although the genealogies were destroyed with the temple in 70 AD. From Eve to Mary, from Adam to David. From David to Jesus. Of course Abraham is a part of that.

The original genealogies may have been destroyed in the temple, but I'm sure they weren't the only records in existence at the time.
The first chapter of Matthew lists the genealogy from Abraham to Jesus;

Matt 1:17 So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generations, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generations.


1 Chronicles 1
The Generations From Adam to Abraham​

1 Adam, Seth, Enosh; 2 Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared; 3 Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech;
4 Noah,
Shem, Ham, and Japheth,

The generations from Shem to Abraham;

Semites

17 The sons of Shem were
Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud, Aram,
Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshek.
18 Arphaxad became the father of Shelah,
and Shelah became the father of Eber.
19 Two sons were born to Eber:
The name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, and the name of his brother was Joktan.
20 Joktan became the father of
Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 21 Hadoram, Uzal, and Diklah, 22 Ebal, Abimael, Sheba, 23 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
24 Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah,
25 Eber, Peleg, Reu,
26 Serug, Nahor, Terah,
27 and Abram, who is Abraham.

The bible is amazing, because it lists all the generations, going right back to the very first man.

If a thousand years for us is but a day for God, in God's eyes this should make the earth 7 + 6 = 13 days old, am I right ?
The earth is commonly referred to as a mother, so it's generally rude to ask.

Yes the age or era we are in began 13,000 years ago. There was a 90% extinction at the time.
Copilot

The end of the last Ice Age, around 13,000 years ago, which marked the transition from the Pleistocene to the Holocene epoch1. This period saw significant climatic changes and the extinction of many large mammals, often referred to as the Quaternary extinction event.​

My favorite are saber tooth tigers and whooly mammanths. I have a copy of a saber tooth tiger skull.

I'm lost so what's your conclusion? Are you saying you know how old the earth is?
I do not know the age of the earth but science does. So I go with the people who have a PhD. The evidence supports an earth that is 4.5 billion years old. Science also supports Adam and Eve living 6,000 years ago.

Your pseudo science, is nothing more than subjective "circular reasoning". Where they force you to accept a theoretical premises, then push it as fact.

The fact is, that your pseudo science only has unproven theories to sell you. If you're happy to accept that, as fact then you're very gullible. There is no accurate method for dating fossils, so it's all gobbledygook.

Your comment "So I go with people who have a PhD". Wow you have placed your faith in some dude with a piece of paper. It's beggars belief!...

Most of my science comes from Experts with PhD's. Right now I am reading Gerald Schroeder. He has a PhD from MIT. That qualifies him a lot better than high school drop outs for me. I was a YEC at one time. Then I was challenged to do a bit of study and research.

Actually my Dad had something like 36 pieces of paper although a lot of them were certificates, not just degrees. My dad and both of my brothers and my grandfather were doctors. My other grandfather was mayor. So they get themselves a decent job with that piece of paper making good money. My sons have degrees in Engineering so they make pretty good money. My niece has a PhD in Chemistry and she works for NASA. Just so you know they pay more than $100,000 a year. So that piece of paper goes a long way to put money in their pocket. I just found out she plans to go to Harvard to get a masters degree in Business administration. The degree (peice of paper) cost her $60,000 but that will easily make her a millionaire. Graduates with a master’s degree from Harvard Business School (HBS), particularly those with an MBA, often achieve significant success in their careers. Many go on to hold high-ranking positions in various industries, including finance, consulting, technology, and entrepreneurship1. While a substantial number of HBS graduates do become millionaires with some becoming billionaires.

Of course if your dream in life is to wash dishes and make minimum wage or flip burgers on a grill, then you do not need much in the way of a "piece of paper" for that.

Are you familiar with Dr. John Walton?

None of that has anything to do with the truth, if they're only motivation for getting the piece of paper is to make lots of money then that's no better than being a prize pig.
For the love of money is the root of al kinds of evil, so their money just serves to book them a place in the lake of fire while they live a lie.

What's the use of heaping up money for yourself, and losing your sole. PhD's spread poisonous lies to undermine the very fabric of society, children are being poisoned with lies about who they are, where they came form, why they are here and where they are going. Your PhD's are sewing the seeds of destruction in the minds of children who grow up believing they are nothing more than an evolved ape, so they have no morals and they sell their sole for money as well.

Universities are nothing more than brain washing centers, critical thinking is not allowed. You can't ask any sensible questions and you are just programmed to swallow all the dung they feed you and jus simple regurgitate it at exam time to get your piece of paper. You glorify selling your sole for a few dollars, and call it smart. A wise man is ashamed of those things fools brag about.

The earth is a split second of a fraction of a minute old.
The matter and energy that existed one minute ago and one minute from now are precisely the same matter and energy that exists now
It moved, It didn't "age"
What are people asking? How long has that matter been shape shifting?
Can we measure that?
This is more a question of turbulence than line of sight, light speed measurement
Does the pattern of turbulence indicate the speed of turbulence?

Hi so who did Christ preach to for the most part it was to the ordenary man who was not very educated this saying is very true

Luk 5:37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.

Luk 5:38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved

The trouble is when one has been taught something its not easy to forget what you have learnt.
Christ was teaching something contrary to what the temple priests were teaching so what shall we believe what men say or what God says we have Gods word so lets believe it if mens word is contrary to Gods word we must reject it

Love and Peace

Well said, as you rightly pointed out, we have a choice to either believe what men say or what God has said. The choice should be simple, do we believe what the One who created all things has said or do we believe in mans ever changing unproven theories.

I can understand Atheists, placing their trust in a mad scientists. But I can't understand why a professing Christian would deny what God said and chose to put his trust in a totally depraved fallen creature.

Job 38:4 "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.

The thing that pseudo science fails to consider, is that God created a mature earth with a mature man and mature trees and mature river beds complete with billions years of apparent sediment. If you cut down one of the giant trees on the 6th day of creation, you would count the rings and conclude that it is hundreds or even thousands of years old, while the fact is it's only a few days old.

Pseudo Scientist like to force God to play by their rules, but they don't realize that God is not subject to any of their restraints or laws. He is outside of His creation and He is not governed by any of those natural laws which men are governed by. God created the earth to appear as if it's 4.5 billion years old, when it was only a few days old and this baffled those wise guys who try to force God to play according to their rules.
