Older than your preferred age of females.

Bible joke

 

[zanejohnson]

who knows..how far can we accurately carbon date? older than that.

It is exactly 1 earth life of age.

New unit of measure? Every day the earth is exactly as old as the earth. This formula will never fail.

> 45 years, that I can Prove.

6000 years old. Jesus had pet dinosaurs. It says so in the Bible.

The universe spotaneously sprung into existence 1 second ago, along with all your "memories"

Some say around 6000 years, due to possible gaps in time not really clearly stated in the Bible, I say it's over 9000. Or maybe it's slightly under 9000, and Jesus will return when it's been 9001 years, because he probably has a sense of humor we don't know about.

That's a deep thought.

Damn son, thats the smartest thing you ever said here.
Get help from your kids?

Yup, carbon dating only works to a point. The main reason we know the age of long lived things is by comparing them to other stuff we observe in the universe. We can see a lot of other things at various stages of their lives and make rough estimates of years.

What's often funny about these "types" of threads is that people try to discredit God and/or the bible by saying it supports a 6000 year old earth...

The bible indicates an earth thats been around countless years, corroborating all the science to date.

Saying otherwise only deepens the case for the bible and God, making the "science people" look as ignorant as the "bible folks" they're trying to discredit.

If you believe the bible takes you away from science, and does not corroborate it, then you're ignorant of what it says.

What is this I don't even

 

[busydude]

Did the bible also say the earth is round and sun is the center of the solar system?

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

If anyone ever attempted to use carbon dating to measure the age of the earth you might have a point... too bad no one has.

This is going to be a pretty fun thread in about thirty posts.

Wait, so Jesus is a /b/ tard?

Explains a lot, actually.

Since we've reached the end of the Enlightenment the Earth is as old as you'd like it to be. Anyone who suggests a different age than the one you like is a witch and should be set on fire.

Living in a new Dark Age opens up all sorts of possibilities just recently thought absurd. Enjoy it, get used to it.
