Earth's anniversary today!

It's October 23rd, Earth's anniversary! James Ussher, Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland, proclaimed after careful study of the Bible and the begats that the Earth was created on October 23, 4004 BC, therefore the Earth is precisely 6,011 years old on this very day!

Happy Birthday, Earth. Get out the candles.

WooHoo! Happy Bday to the planet earth!
Ahem...sarcasm.

Dude, thank you.

I got it now.

Wow... just over 6000 year old but yet Radiocarbon dating shows millions of years...along with erosion of land and what not.

But, thanks for the update.

Uh...

There are religions and stories going older than that.

I mean, forget science for one moment, you don't even need science to prove that the earth is older than that...

Hinduism started before that time, various cultures have records before that.

Face it, the earth is much older than that...sorry to say.


So seriously, why don't you follow your signature and deny ignorants......well, that explains it. *cough*

according to the math done here stating that the earth is 6006 y/o taking into account that the earth is 6b y/o i am only .4828 years old. kinda cool.....hopefully disney accepts this math so i can get a discount when i go there

Cool, another beauty for the 23 thread.

Next time I think you'll have to aim a bit lower with the sarcasm cannon; seems like it's flown over the heads of a few here

Lol. Too bad this is terribly untrue. So terribly untrue that it depresses me that some truly believe this, mostly over the concept of being 'tricked' otherwise.

"Those fossils are fake man! And that carbon dating technology is a scam to trick us into accepting your lies!"
