I find a history of man on up to 4,000 years BC... And before that nothing... The reason being is that he had not yet come into existence. Do you have any literature dating earlier than 4,000 BC to prove your points?

You mean from.

The oldest writing is from the 3rd millennium BC, but we have examples of pictograms and petroglyps going back 10s of thousands of years.

There was no evidence of man before 4,000 BC... None! Null! Void!

Pottery goes back nearly 20,000 BC.
http://news.sciencemag.org/archaeology/2009/06/worlds-oldest-pottery
>> China gave the world porcelain. And now it appears that the country also gave us our first pottery. A team of Israeli, Chinese, and American scholars says it has found ceramic remains in a cave in China's Hunan province that are from 15,400 to 18,300 years old. <<

All scientific dating analysis is merely a comparison and the result of someone setting a theoretical date behind the analysis.

Hand waving and rhetoric that addresses not an iota of the evidence.

You mean with additional support other than one
comment from a discussion forum? Sorry.

When you say something like "never" one case is all that it takes to refute your claim. I gave you one case. Your claim was refuted.

The oldest writing is from the 3rd millennium BC, but we have examples of pictograms and petroglyps going back 10s of thousands of years.

And to support the 6,000 year (give or take a few hundred years) theory I present the literature of the time...

1. The Torah - Or the books of Moses - Written around 1,300 BC.
2. The IChing - Or the books of Change - Written around 1,000 BC
3. The Proverbs of Solomon - Written around 1,000 BC
4. Works of Homer - around 1,000 BC
5. Lao-Tzu and Confucius - around 500 BC
6. The Works of Socrates - Mainly written by Plato around 350 BC

Any pictographs were made during the time of the ancients...

I would have an easier time believing that aliens placed man on earth about 4,000 BC and man progressed into what he is today. But... While we are there, and because I have experienced God on a spiritual basis, I choose to believe it was he who placed man on earth around 4,000 BC.

Let me put your comment to the test. I have a rock I dated. The results I came up with are 27.5, 25.3, 26.4, 27.8 and 25.5 Ka. What is the correct answer?

Matter cannot be created or destroyed, it merely changes form throughout the ages. Your rock therefore is eternal. As E = mc2 so we can divide and conclude that

m (mass) = E/c2 (Energy)

Mass can turn into energy... Energy can turn into mass. They are never created or destroyed but merely changes form throughout the eternities. The big bang is the result of God turning mass into E/c2 plasma energy and God expanding it out from a point of origin. A small portion of that E/c2 cooled into that rock of yours. One day God is going to disassociate the mass of the universe and do something else with it...

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. - 2 Peter 3:10

For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. - Isaiah 65:17

The matter making up the rock would be as old as the universe. The formation of the rock, which is not creating new matter, I provided was 27.5, 25.3, 26.4, 27.8 and 25.5 Ka. I had asked skywriting which date would be correct because he has previously stated that there is only one correct answer. I still await his reply. I had also asked you previously to name a specific dating method and lets discuss the problems you see with it, of which I am still waiting for a reply. I also showed how your determination for the age of the universe is a dating method. Well?

A rock can be any combination of iron, carbon, oxygen, aluminum, silicon, potassium, magnesium, calcium, or other trace elements. Some of these rocks came out of the heart of mother earth in the form of volcanoes, where heat and pressure changed the chemical composition, and others were formed by God the Father himself during the six day creation story....

15 + billion of years ago - Lucifer rebels in heaven
15+ billion years ago - God's response is the creation of this universe with these words... "Let there be light!"
4,000 BC - 15+ billion years - The universe expands out from a point of origin. Earth is most likely space dust
4,000 BC - Give or take 500 years - God takes the space dust and does something with it....

1. The first day earth is formed from the galactic dust and put into orbit around the sun, creating the first day...
---4. ...And God divided the light from the darkness.
---5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. - Genesis 1

2. The second day the seven continents are formed and separated from the water.
---6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
---7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
---8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. - Genesis 1

3. The third day the waters recede exposing dry land. Upon this land God creates plant life and becomes that day a botanist.
---9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
---10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
---11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
---12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
---13 And the evening and the morning were the third day. - Genesis 1

4. The fourth day the atmosphere clears revealing the moon, sun, and skies... Which become lights for the firmament...
14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.
17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,
18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.
19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. - Genesis 1

5. The fifth day marine life is created within the waters and God that day becomes a marine biologist
---20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
---21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
---22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
---23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. - Genesis 1

6. The sixth day God creates non marine animals and that day becomes a zoolologist, lastly creating man in his own image.
25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. - Genesis 1

7. On the seventh day God rests and enjoys the results of his chemistry and biology...
1 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. - Genesis 2


This is the detailed account on how things happened. As far as anything dated before that period it is a deception. But God has purposely made deception that...

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,
2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand.
3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. - 2 Thessalonians 2

As far as anything that appears dated before 4,300 BC - It is a deception created by God the Father himself for those who do not believe. These lies are magnified by Satan himself as he is jealous of man, who was created to replace the vacated heavens that were the result of his rebellion.

So when are you going to address my request? Name a "scientific" dating method and explain why you think it won't work in scientific terms and dispense with the apologetics.

Kant distinguishes the mind in two dimensions, sensibility and understanding. Sensibility is the minds way of receiving representation of things (intuition- insight), Understanding is how the mind actively thinks about those objects. Theories about the forms of intuition and the categories of the understanding lead to distinguish phenomena (appearances as filtered through our senses and understanding) from noumena (things themselves as they exist independently from the mind which we can never know).

Phenomena - Our theories of how things occurred before 4000 BC as filtered through our senses and understanding
Noumena - The reality of previous events that has instigated our current reality, which things exist independently from the mind which we can never know

I do not believe we can have a complete understanding of what occured before 4000 BC. All we can do is build a filtered view as these things are noumena and exist independently from the mind which we can never know. Only if God reveals unto us these things can we know for certain.

The ideas you are presenting are phenomena, which are different from noumena, which are events that have happened independently from our filtered view of reality. The apologetics in this case were necessary, as God formed the earth from the galactic dust some 6,000 years ago. All rocks and minerals contain tiny amounts of radioactive elements. Radioactive elements are unstable; they breakdown spontaneously into more stable atoms over time, a process known as radioactive decay. In which case science can attempt to measure the radioactive decay and come up with a dating method.

The only problem is that God formed the earth some 6,000 years ago with the radioactive elements sewn in them. So these rock molecules appear to have an earlier date. The apologetics is needed to explain the creation story. And this thread is called the creationist corner!

That only paints God as a deceiver, making rocks (the earth) to have physical properties that are deceptive.

And this thread is called the creationist corner!

Then this thread doesn't need to be in the Physical and Life Science Forum.

Now we are on the topic of dating... To put the whole creation story, from beginning to end, in perspective. If I had to pick an end time date I would go with the scientist, Isaac Newton...

“And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half.” –Daniel 12:7

From a folio cataloged as Yahuda MS 7.3g, f. 13v:

"So then the time times & half a time are 42 months or 1260 days or three years & an half, reckoning twelve months to a year & 30 days to a month as was done in the Calendar of the primitive year. And the days of short lived Beasts being put for the years of lived kingdoms, the period of 1260 days, if dated from the complete conquest of the three kings A.C. 800, will end A.C. 2060.” – Isaac Newton

As Charlemagne was crowned king on December 25, 800 by Pope Leo the III so the day of Christ's coming will be on Christmas Day, 2060. If the rapture of the saints (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) occurs seven years before the time of Christ’s coming the date of the rapture 12.25 2053. However… Isaac Newton notes…

"“It may end later, but I see no reason for its ending sooner. This I mention not to assert when the time of the end shall be, but to put a stop to the rash conjectures of fancifull men who are frequently predicting the time of the end, & by doing so bring the sacred prophesies into discredit as often as their predictions fail. Christ comes as a thief in the night, & it is not for us to know the times & seasons which God hath put into his own breast." –Isaac Newton

And after the time that Christ comes as a thief a thousand years of peace...

Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years. - Revelation 20:6

As I would have it... 4,300 BC creation story + 2,060 AD + 1,000 millennial = 7,360 years of earth history, beginning with the seven day creation story.

As E = mc2 then m (mass) = E/c2 (energy) so God will disassociate the elements back into the plasma energy (E/c2) from whence they were created...

Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? - 2 Peter 3:12

And from that E/c2 he will create a new heaven and a new earth. "For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind." - Isaiah 65:17

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. - 2 Thessalonians 2

With that reasoning you are either submitting things out of context or the whole bible is a deception. Can't have it both ways.

20 And the Lord said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him.
22 And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
23 Now therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil concerning thee. -[url="www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Kings+22&version=KJV"]I Kings 22[/URL]

Each person begins as a single cell, formed by the joining of the mother's egg and the father's sperm. That single cell contains the digital code to make thousands of other kinds of cells, from fat cells to bone cells—from brain cells to lung cells. There are muscle cells, skin cells, vein cells, capillary cells and blood cells… Ultimately, from that one original cell, the human body will have something like 30 trillion cells conducting an orchestra of different functions.


Nucleus: Decides what the cell needs and uses DNA to print out instructions for the rest of the cell to produce that need.
Chromosomes: Hold the cell’s DNA in the nucleus.
Cytoplasmic Organelles: Are compartmentalized structures that perform a specialized function within a cell.
Golgi apparatus: ships packages around the cell.
Lysosome: destroy waste to clean up the cell.
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum: The two types of ER make different building blocks for the cell.
Mitochondria: produce energy to power the cell.

30 trillion cells all with independent programming working together to make the reality of a man possible. All originally programmed by God the Father himself.

No matter how you present it, saying God created the earth 6,000 years ago but made it to appear billions of years old along with other the other things that show the earth to be much older than 6,000 years is making God a Deceiver. I want no part of such a God.
