Creationism vs Evolution - How old are We?

a reply to: AbstractDreamz

Our Earth is a lot more than 6500 years old.

Anybody that chooses to believe so probably also believes in the likes of the rapture.

That depends on which scripture you're reading. The Greek texts seem to show 6400 years, but the documents they are based on shows 5700. I've heard a good argument that the Messiah will return in year 6000, or about 300 years, but that's just speculation. Earth is 5700 years old, but it orbits a star which orbits a super-massive black hole in the center of the galaxy which dilates time. One could argue thay the universe and Earth was created in some distant past, but Earth has only experienced 5700 of 13.8bn years or some other massive number.

Ok, now I know I am going to get absolutely murdered for this view, but who cares I will throw it at you anyways.

I have always wondered how different races on this planet had such different features and skin tones. We are being told that after thousands of years that climate had a hand in these variations. Now how if instead of every one starting out on this planet that there actually was a type of seeding going on from different galaxies and planets.

Maybe planet destruction, by war or scientists messing with bad things, or maybe it was a choice to move here.

If nothing else, I think this idea would make a great idea for a movie.

Part of that theory would link up to a theory floated a few years back that Earth is a "prison" planet and the different races are the Criminals of other world and cite that that is why we are so isolated in the Galaxy. And maybe the rest of the universes "occupants" are kept away from us. Because we are dangerous.
