How old is the world?

Most people would say: "Nobody knows."

But the author of the book frequently described as the greatest history book ever written, said the world was created Oct. 23, 4004 B.C. – making it exactly 6,010 today.

In the 1650s, an Anglican bishop named James Ussher published his "Annals of the World," subtitled, "The Origin of Time, and Continued to the Beginning of the Emperor Vespasian's Reign and the Total Destruction and Abolition of the Temple and Commonwealth of the Jews." First published in Latin, it consisted of more than 1,600 pages.

The book, now published in English for the first time, is a favorite of homeschoolers and those who take ancient history seriously. It's the history of the world from the Garden of Eden to the fall of Jerusalem in AD 70.

Of course, there will be those who disagree with Ussher's calculations of time – especially evolutionists who need billions of years to explain their theory of

I hope this isn't considered span. It came from Worldnet Daily, so I thought it might be okay. It looks like an interesting book for Believers.

You night get nore feedback than you expected, but it certainly isn’t span.

# 2 Peter 3:8
But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

WND is certainly required reading as is the Bishop’s calculation. How it is collated is up to the reader, but such common knowledge must be had by all, and Bacon said so.

Don't tell Ken Ham that. Screws with his whole Genesis theory.

[Condor51]

No not spam.
Just idiotic blather from some nut.

(and evolution has nothing to do with it. anyone who actually believes the earth is only 6,000 years old needs a keeper and should be kept away from pointed objects and firearms.)

[Signalman]

So those dinosaurs were romping around with humans about 6000 years ago. I knew it!!!

Y’know, being a Conservative does not have to make ya stupid!

[vpintheak]

Without getting into it too much. If a person believes in the Bible, then a person believes what it says, literally. In Genesis, it tells us about the first day and so on. Getting to the point of this article, it is rediculous that anyone thinks they can name the exact day. Rediculous.

[yankeesdoodle]

God is very clear on the fact that humans get 6000 years to attempt to rule ourselves. This is the six days of man. The Bible teaches that to God, in 2Peter 3:8, “a day is like a 1000 years.” And on the 7th day, the 7th 1000 year period, we get our rest, when Lord Jesus returns. I suspect we are very close to our 6000th year, but not quite. You would have to leave 7 years out for the tribulation, so at the very very latest, we could be in the year 5993, by God’s reckoning. It’s so hard to tell what year we are in from creation, since the calendar has changed so many times, also, since the day of creation, I suspect that the earth’s rotation has slowed quite a bit. Notice that during the tribulation, the Bible teaches that the “days will be shortened by a third”, which means that instead of a 24 hour day, we will have 16 hour days. God tells us that unless this shortening occurred, then we’d all perish. He will shorten the days so that the 7 years of the tribulation will be shortened. Perhaps the earth will accelerate on her axis after being struck by what the bible calls a “flaming rock from the Heavens” (space), which “blazes like a torch”, obviously a comet.

The book may very well be pretty close.

[joesbucks]

Just saying that it may be 24/7 but more likely the 2 Peter version of a day.

[donna]

Very interesting.

[yankeesdoodle]

Here is the verse about the days being shortened:

Matthew 24: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened

I’ve always loved that verse because over and over again, we are told that the earth will go through horrible punishment for 7 years, during the Tribulation, but, like any loving parent, God finds a way to shorten our suffering, so that we will indeed go through 7 years of punishment, just that some of that punishment will occur with 16 hour days. I suspect that at the time of the creation of the earth, the earth rotated at that speed. 16 hour days may be what God designed at first.

[SoftballMominVA]

The world was created on Mole Day? Somehow that fits, I’m not sure how, but it does

Don’t know him.......

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

If I remember correctly, Issac Newton examined Ussher’s work and could find nothing wrong with it.

[Grunthor]

“How old is the world?”

Hundreds of Billions of years.

[bruinbirdman]

The article appears to be nothing more than an ad, complete with a link to WND shopping site.

“Of course, there will be those who disagree with Ussher’s calculations of time”

like anyone with a brain in their head.

[Grunthor]

“If a person believes in the Bible, then a person believes what it says, literally”

Really? How about this part?

“But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.”

[yankeesdoodle]

"Hundreds of Billions of years."

It certainly appears that way, but there is good evidence for an old universe and also a young one. Both may be right. We live in a particular reference frame in linear time, and we have no idea what things were like at the time of creation. Dimensionally, we live in 4 dimensions, but there may indeed be 10 or more that are no longer part of this universe. If we are indeed living in 4 of 10 dimension, I suspect that our universe is running on fumes. The laws of physics may be nothing like what Adam and Eve enjoyed. Someday the universe will be repaired. I'm sure to the people living on the earth at that time, it will seem magical.

[Signalman]

How old is the world?” Hundreds of Billions of years.

That's not quite accurate. The best scientific data says that the Earth, along with the rest of the Solar System, is about 4 Billion years old.

The Dinosaurs died out about 60 million years ago. Pre-humans didn't appear on the scene until about 2 million years ago, just a short while ago in the history of the planet.

[Grunthor]

“evidence for an old universe and also a young one.”

Sure but 6,000 years? Come on, I am a Christian, not ignorant.

[Grunthor]

I stand corrected.

Thank you.

[Coyoteman]

Hundreds of Billions of years.

More like 4.5 billion.

[Coyoteman]

Whoops, I didn’t see the other post, and your response.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

"which means that instead of a 24 hour day, we will have 16 hour days. God tells us that unless this shortening occurred, then we’d all perish"

A shorter work day would certain help me survive longer!

[humblegunner]

just that some of that punishment will occur with 16 hour days. I suspect that at the time of the creation of the earth, the earth rotated at that speed. 16 hour days may be what God designed at first.

That right there is funny, I don't care WHO you are!!!

[billbears]

Issac Newton examined Ussher’s work and could find nothing wrong with it

Oh good. Let's take the world of an alchemist as proof Ussher was right.

The fact is that man didn't understand, frankly couldn't comprehend, the age of the universe at the time. To mandate the earth is 6010 years is to put God into a box because we must be right. I don't know how old the earth is (well older than 6010 years). Does it really matter?!? God made it.

[Hostage]

Adam was immortal before the Fall. No one knows how long his immortality lasted because there is no concept of time in a state of forever.

In fact the notion of ‘time’ itself is suspect according to our highest level cosmologists, e.g. Hawkings and colleagues at Cambridge.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

We're losing dimensions?

Every time I look in the mirror I seem to gain a dimension or two.

[ari-freedom]

so you’re saying religious jews and christians should not be allowed to own guns because they don’t worship the latest theories?

[Signalman]

God finds a way to shorten our suffering, so that we will indeed go through 7 years of punishment,

Although if Hillary is elected, it may be more like 8years.

[P8riot]

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

This is hyperbole. It was never meant as a conversion formula.

[P.O.E.]

Just hope the Earth doesn’t stay out too late to celebrate - I’d hate to see when Earth gets grumpy the next day.

[Red Badger]

Psalm 90:4
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

[yankeesdoodle]

No, I didn’t say that the universe is 6,000 years old, it is obviously older, but, I am saying that time may not be what it once was. It may not flow the way it once did. The Bible talks about the Heavens (space) being stretched out like a tent, at the creation. Then, God rested from His work. After the fall, I imagine the universe has been steadily collapsing which would alter the velocity of light by altering the permittivity and Permeability of free space constants. (which may not be constant at all) If this is the case, since we reckon time by using the vibration of cesium atoms, by measuring the speed of light, we may be ensnared in flawed reasoning. Trapped in a frame we can’t imagine our way out of. The earth may have existed before creation in an accelerated time frame, in order to age it for our benefit. And once aged, perhaps pushed into normal space. After all, the Bible teaches that God holds the universe in His right hand. if the universe started out as a dimensionless singularity, which I suspect it did, Jesus, in human form, could do this— hold it in His hand.

During the tribulation, while the universe is being repaired, the heavens, or space, are said to “tremble”, and the sky “shakes”. It may be at that point that He re-stretched space out to its original boundry.

"Adam was immortal before the Fall. No one knows how long his immortality lasted because there is no concept of time in a state of forever."

A photon travels at the speed of light. At that speed all distances shrink to zero. Therefore from the photons point-of-view it can go to any part of the universe in an instant.

In fact it just so happens that everything we see as light today is just that one single photon appearing at every place in the universe that God desires it to be.

Talk about efficiency!

[Bender2]

Was that... Daylight Savings Time?

[Signalman]

I’m sorry but I don’t believe any of it. I believe in scientific evidence, anything else is open to interpretation. The bible can say anything you want it to say, especially when it comes to the creation of the universe.

[P8riot]

Same literary device. The scripture uses metaphors too.

[Duffboy]

Sounds good to me. The less I know the more I don’t know.
In the film One Million BC , Raquel Welsh was chased by dinosaurs. If that aint proof, what is?

[Uri’el-2012]

Only if that day was Rosh Hashanah.

Hundreds of Billions of years.

Actually, I think the estimate is about 16-17 billion years

[The KG9 Kid]

World Net Daily is nothing but crackheads with a keyboard and Internet access.

[Melinator]

I guess this means that it took 6 thousand years for Him to create Everything, He rested on the 7th. Then we have 6010 more years of human history (six more of his days). Since we’re now 10 years into day 7, He must be resting again.

Let’s hear it for the working man!!

[Yossarian]

Ah, no. As in, completely, 100% wrong.

[Prophet in the wilderness]

" So those dinosaurs were romping around with humans Hillary about 6000 years ago. I knew it!!! " ( Happy Birthday Hillary ) Sarcasm.
" Y’know, being a Conservative does not have to make ya stupid! "

There now, fixed.

[Melinator]

Hah! Superman’s got that beat. He didn’t just speed up time by spinning the Earth faster, He turned back time by spinning the Earth backward!

[who_would_fardels_bear]

"Ah, no. As in, completely, 100% wrong."

In what way? Please enlighten me ... with the one photon there is.
