Oh, wow... That young? Wow. *He shakes his head*
Anyways, I wasn't talking about scientific validity. I was talking about Biblical validity.
There is none

Anyways, I wasn't talking about scientific validity. I was talking about Biblical validity.
I've got a question for my fellow Christians, or any that aren't who would like to chime in with a bit of knowledge on the subject.
I've always wondered where it Biblicaly states that the Earth is of a certain age, and why it is that some believe that the earth is only a couple thousand years old (maybe couple hundred thousand). Should the passage of scripture stating that a thousand years is like a day to God, and a day is like a thousand years to God, be taken into account? If so, could that possibly point to the seven days of creation being seven thousand years? Or am I over thinking this?
Yeah, I'm playing a bit of a 'devil's advocate' on this one. I know what I believe, but I'm just wondering what others think of all this.
And, for clarification, I'd like to know the Biblical reasoning. I'm not interested in carbon dating or scientific evidence - I want to know what this means within my own faith, not within the broad spectrum of humanity as a whole.

Aren't you interested in other ideas and concepts outside your own set of beliefs? Just for information and maybe broading your vision?Duality is not something I'm interested in.

@muir Reality is not JUST illusion... to say so is inaccurate.
substituting truth for a thought like 'all is illusion' is not correct
I agree with you if you mean to say that Reality is not summed up in all we see with our eyes and perceive with our mind.
I've seen and experienced some things that simply don't agree with standard logic, philosophy, man's wisdom...
I've seen too much to climb inside that box again
If you choose to believe your reality is an illusion, it is your choice to do so.
If Alan Watts wants to preach his unreal reality there is gonna be an audience for him.
I just can't buy it... I have seen too much!
I don't know how to transmit my experience to others through this text box...
I can only hope that whoever reads this on the other end recognizes sincerity.
I'm not the same person I was even a few weeks ago.
We are so much more than we think we are.
When we begin to grasp what reality IS, that is freedom, that's walking in the light, enlightenment.
This is what Jesus is all about.
We who follow Jesus are learning about our true nature. Heaven flows out through us to the world.
I can only testify that The Kingdom of Heaven is real.
His love flows out through me... it is mind boggling.
Heart can go where mind struggles to follow.
We are in the world but not of it.
Jesus, truth, love, God reality... it is not just myth.
This is more than an easter story, more than religion, more than what Christianity has represented until now.
Truth isn't subject to popular belief.
Man was created for love. Truth is simply profound!
I could sit here and type about it forever.
I just wanted to share a bit of my heart right now.
I may not personally know you but I love you too much to agree to disagree. I won't debate but I won't deny the truth either.
I've seen too much!
Following Jesus means persecution is to be expected.
People mock and scoff what they don't understand.
I'm just preaching that freedom is here and available for all.
Be free and know who you are. Your father is in Heaven, you are made in His image!
The Kingdom is here! It really is good news!
Be well people! Peace to you all!
this pretty much says it all. I propose we abandon this particular thread
ok but lets make sure each question gets three answersI propose we continue on with this Q&A.
