Where is a "6000 year old earth" found in scripture?

How long is a day to God?

2 Peter 3:8
8 But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

When God is writing in the bible...24 hours....or was Christ dead for 3 eons before he rose from the dead?

The above berse you misused simply points out the fact that time means nothing to God...God is outside of time. It has nothing to do with the creation time period.

How do you know it has nothing to do with creation time?

People, like yourself, misread Genesis etc to come to some illogical idea that the earth is 6,000 years old! lol

Remember, in the past people thought that the earth was the centre of the Universe. They thought the earth was flat!

Are dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible? Were they on the Ark? Have any humans remains 'ever' been found with Dinosaur remains?

6,000 year old believers must have their very own network of Bible teachers who interpret scripture really wildly and illogically!

They thought the earth was flat!

There is only a .02% variation from flat.
8 inches per mile is very flat.
And consider that every point of that mile is level.

Are dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible?

The Bible mentions two dinosaurs by name and describes them in great detail. "Behemoth" (Job 40:15-24) and "Leviathan" (Job 41:1-34) From the description found in Job, scientists have attempted to identify these animals. They believe "Behemoth" is a Hippo and "Leviathan" is a Crocodile. But these scientists limited their choices to non-extinct species and did not consider the possibility of dinosaurs because man and dinosaur never coexisted.

First, "Behemoth" cannot be a Hippo because of Job 40:17 "He bends his tail like a cedar". A hippo has a short tail like a pig. Behemoth, had a large tail shaped like a cedar tree (large and tapered). I believe a better choice is that Behemoth is a Brachiosaurus type of large land dwelling dinosaur. It fits the description perfect.

Second, "Leviathan" cannot be a Crocodile but is probably a Elasmosaurus type of large water-dwelling dinosaur. Here is what Job 41 says with my comments in brackets, "v9 you be laid low even at the sight of him? (This was a large animal) v10 No one is so fierce that he dares to arouse him; v25 When he raises himself up, the mighty fear; (crocs don't raise up at all but are always low) Because of the crashing they are bewildered. v26 (This animal was large! This animal made seismic thunder as it walked. You know...that slow, low, terrifying thud that Jurassic park portrayed so well.) v26 The sword that reaches him cannot avail; (crocs are quite easy to kill with a good spear) Nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin. (Croc wrestling is a sport, the croc usually looses) v31 He makes the depths boil like a pot; He makes the sea like a jar of ointment. v32 Behind him he makes a wake to shine; (crocs make little wake if any) v34 He looks on everything that is high" (again it was a tall animal with a long neck).

Are Dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible?

6,000 year old believers must have their very own network of Bible teachers who interpret scripture really wildly and illogically!

The concept of the 6K years came from adding up the iinages in the OT. From that we can know the "about time" Adam and Eve were created.
When you claim Christians "interpret scripture really wildly and illogically!".....you better think again prior to posting such accusations.

As far as dino's being mentioned in the bible, Skywriting answered that in post 685.

Have human fossils and dino fossils been found together? You bet they have

So, antletems, please tell us how Genesis was misread?

I have to laugh when I read such gymnastics. Everything you concluded is not in the bible. What the Theo-Evos have to do inorder to force fit the bible really is amazing.
Exo 20:11 clearly informs us: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

How long is a day? Last time I looked at my wrist watch it was 24 hours.
Don't know who you are addressing, but I'm always defending the literal Word on the six evenings and mornings of creation week.

He also tells about Jubilee years of 50 normal weeks, and the week of millennial days, and the
Ten weeks of 700 years of normal evenings and mornings.
Perhaps he has even more celestial clocks running in the universe, which all correlate perfectly for His one plan for creation..

Even creation-science people themselves have admitted that no human footprints were ever found with dinosaurs. The specimens have been carefully studied and definitely do not reveal human footprints. This has been widely reported in the literature. Funny you missed it.

Dinosaur fossils have never been found with humans. Only believers like yourself invent those things!

Science has proven how old the earth is. We know how long it takes for say, coal to develop. We know so many things about the world, rocks etc that even a 7yr old will tell you the earth is million and millions of years old!

Dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible as was stated is about crocodiles etc. Nowhere in the Bible does it mention giant dinosaurs roaming the earth etc. If they did, i am sure it would have been mentioned!

Adding up the lineage of the people in the Bible goes no way to telling us how old the earth is.

Remember, God is the one who created man. Man invented science. God has given man knowledge and the skill to do these things.

When was the 6,000 yr theory invented?

People have misread Genesis. They have 'invented' things to suit their beliefs. Look at the people who have predicted the worlds end via Bible readings which have proven to not happen etc!

You should concentrate on God and not let anyone put untruths into your mind.

Science may have made some errors with age calculations but they are more right than wrong!

The 6000-thousand-year theory was invented by Archbishop James Ussher in the 18th century. It was also developed and supported by major figures such as Isaac Newton, who was a noted biblical scholar in his day.

I beg to differ. The fossil has been studied and shown to be real...human and dino together. I do understand your theology requires them to be frauds.

It surprises me that a man of your faith doesn't believe the words written in Genesis....says science has proven it wrong...the interpretations of old was wrong....since Darwin it has to be re-interpreted..."r, God is the one who created man. Man invented science."......Yet, and once again I say YET, you believe a dead man on day 3 can rise from the dead, despite the FACT medical scientist say it is impossible. Get off the fence.

2 Peter 3:8 means that time means nothing to God. He is timeless. He does not sleep. It does not mean that the six day creation took 6,000 years. There is no Scriptural support whatever for that distortion.
There is no Scriptural support for the claim that the days of Genesis were anything other than normal days.
There is no Scriptural support anywhere for an old earth.
There is no Scriptural support for evolution.
There is no Scriptural support for the claim that the great Flood was a local event.
There is no Scriptural support for theistic evolution.
The claims of man do not fit the word of God, and we are warned about adding to or detracting from that word.

KWCrasy, that is so true. The Theo-Evo sect has to change a lot of the bible. For example...

Romans 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned

One man becomes a population somewhere in the distant past. The meaning of sin and death has to be re-understood.

Look, Dino and man have never been found together except in a comic book. Fact

How long does a fossil take to 'make?'

I believe Genesis but i dont believe that the world is 6,000 yrs old! God made the earth in 6 days but those 6 days could be Millions of years in length. There is no proof at all saying the earth is 6,000 yrs old. None! Unless you point to websites who believe in that made up invention!

Believing in God for me requires no proof. Only faith and love of God. Believing in a 6,000 yr old earth takes no faith only fantasy!

How could there be evolution without death and new birth? There could not. Death was part of the corruption of the earth that followed man's rebellion.
Those who claim to believe both the Bible and evolution have a firm understanding of neither.

43 pages of historical proof of dragons [dinosaurs] and the Adam race existing together, after the flood, and from ancient times to modern times.

Interesting how you dodged the issue of a crucified Jesus coming back to life on day 3. The scientist, YOUR scientist, say it's impossible.
