You think people will be condemned to hell for not believing the earth is 4,500 years old? You need to read 2 Peter 3:8.

NO, they won’t go to Hell over that one belief, provided that they have already accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior, repented from their sins & try to follow His Word afterwards.

I don’t see why the earth can’t be 6 billion yrs old, or whatever the scientists believe that it may be. The verse you gave (2 Peter 3:8) might give an inkling about that, cuz none of us really knows — where does the Bible say that the day in the Genesis creation was 24 hrs long? There was a period of time betw the creation of earth & the rime that God created Man & breathed the breath of life into him. God works on HIS time, not ours.

Did I say that?

Or were you just itching to build a strawman?

First, the Earth is 6015 years old, but that isn’t the point anyway. It is unbelief in general that will condemn people.

Those that are unable to see one well presented truth, are usually unable to see others too. Its about the worship of the material creation, which is what drives these self appointed “scientists” to try to use their pseudo science as a springboard to demolish the foundation.
