Actually, you don’t know what you’re talking about, which isn’t surprising, given your outburst of nonsequitur clichés. By having the clock slow down, any chance of a 6000 year old Earth just got a nasty blow to the privates.

It’s quite clear you’re a psycho nutbag that likes to jump to conclusions. Nowhere in my post (it isn’t in the Bible either) is there anything about a “6,000 year old Earth.” Why would you make up something so stupid? Are you a total idiot? My guess is yes.
Let me fill you, Dummy. The Universe is approximately 13.7 billion years old, the Earth is about 4.5 billion, life began about 3.8 billion ago, and the Cambrian explosion was about 535 million ago. The slowing of the DNA clock is further evidence that “gradual change” isn’t the causal agent of speciation on the planet.
Which part don’t you get? Don’t put words into my mouth and act like a jerk with people smarter than you. Got it, Dummy?
I’m particularly surprised and disappointed that “conservatives” on FreeRepublic would act like such a total A-hole. Very uncool. You act like a scumbag liberal that lies and vilifies instead of intelligently engaging. Grow up, or take your meds, or whatever, but stop acting like an idiot.

Throughout history, various Biblical scholars have used the text of the Bible to determine the date of creation; there is some variability in their calculations, but the 6,000 year old figure is the most widely accepted. Other calculations put the Biblical date of creation about 8,000 years ago. The person you were responding to (so rudely) did not make the number up.
