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

Newton like rap?
Maybe a helium flash? Who knows.
***And I’m sure that makes it correct.....Newton also spent his last years looking for the mythical bible code also.***
Newton was a mathmatician. He probably meant Ussher’s Bible mathmatics were correct.
Oh no! I missed Mole Day yesterday! I blame my wife. She's the chemist. How could she let such an important day go by uncelebrated??
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. It is finite and quantifiable. The light emanating from the sun takes approximately 8 1/2 minutes to reach the Earth, which is a distance of 93 million miles, not zero. Otherwise, my beer would be much warmer than I tend to like it.
Yeah, she's a science geek, but how can you deny such appreciation?
I don't know how your wife could let such a day go by. I'm puzzled :)
“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.)”
Oh dear can you please take that pointy stick outta my eye and yeah do it quick before I cap your A*se
God Bless

Sorry, but what you argue there is simply rediculous, are you simply trying to play devils advocate? Do I believe 100% what Christ was saying about the parable of the prodigal son? Yes, absolutely. Therefore I 100% literally believe what the Word says. Quit playing games.
If there is only one photon in the universe then maybe we don't have to worry so much about global warming?
After all, how much can one photon heat up an entire planet?
I’m not playing games. You used the word “literal,” and literal means literal. If you didn’t mean literal, choose another word.
Are you that ignorant?
...crickets...
I thought so.
... crickets ...
I thought so.
But you have to be a moonbat to read it as if it were a real history.
Worldnet Daily has sunk to new lows. Very sad.
