Do Christians believe the world is only 6-7k years old?

[Reflection]

The time between Adam and Jesus is around 4000 years. Jesus is believed to have died around 2,000 years ago.

I know it's not a new finding, but I'm just curious... Do people actually believe this?

History is history uh..

As far as I know, mostly creationists think that the earth is only a few thousand yrs old and they are dumb

I'm a Christian and I believe that the world and our universe was created way before this. I believe that the 7 "days" that God took to create the Earth and populate it were in fact metaphors for millions/billions of years. This would also allow time for evolution and dinosaurs and things like that.

Don't give heed to those "mathematical calculations", they are no more viable than the people that do mathematical calculations of manga images.

The fact that they are creationists do not mean that they're dumb. It only means that they do not believe in the big bang theory. There is not absolute proof of it so they prefer to put their faith in a divine being because religion sets them values and is part of their culture. Do not generalise a group of people; it makes you look ignorant.

Tragic.

Hell yeah they are. The first anatomically modern humans arose around 200kya. By 7kya, advanced civilizations like Egypt and Mesopotamia had came about lol.

The bible says a day is like a thousand years in Gods time.

a creation without a creator is dumb

OT: does it matter????

In the grand scope of religious belife its not that crazy. Have you heard of scientology? Now that's a whack-a-doo religion right there.

Protecting what you stand for is good and should be encouraged. However, if you bash the disbeliever, you are just as bad.

I'm with these guys.

God took 7 days to create the world but do we know how long is a day to god ?

Plus math and time and things like that are creations of man. Soo..

I didnt say they are dumb because they belong to a certain group, but because what they believe in is nonsense. If you cant interpret my post in a proper way, you are ignorant.

I never said the universe was created in the first place

It said Adam was 103 years old (maybe older) when he had Seth and it continues going down the line to where we can calculate the ages. If a day is a bunch of years to God, what is a year? By that logic, it would mean that Adam was thousands of years old when he had Seth.

Then you don't agree with the Bible.

Both Christians and Scientists are wrong.

No, scientific methods have validity. Fundamentalist ideologies were valid... In the Bronze age. :|
