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

Same literary device. The scripture uses metaphors too.

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?

Only if that day was Rosh Hashanah.

[Smedley]

Hundreds of Billions of years.

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

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!!

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.

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.

Actually, the Bible teaches that both space and time had a beginning, which is true (without space there is no time), God told Job 5000 years ago that the earth is hanged in nothingness, and yet it doesn’t fall. Also true. The heavens were stretched out like a tent. The evidence points to that. The stars were created in the beginning, and then God ceased from His work, and it is true that no starts have ever been observed to form. No one has ever witnessed a star being born although you can point a telescope anywhere in the universe and watch one explode in death. When the universe is destroyed, the Bible says it will be “rolled up like a scroll”, it will collapse, and those that are left here will be trapped in a gigantic singularity, which is hell. Hell is called by Peter the “storm of darkness”, which is a perfect picture of a rotating black hole. It is a place of intense heat, but no light (since the photons are ripped apart by the extreme gravity). Whenever Satan is being judged in the Bible, he is always said to be “crushed”, and Paul said that the devil would soon be “crushed” under our feet (space was stretched out from the earth first, and then to the rest of the universe, so that when it collapses, it will end up beneath our feet), it is a place of destruction but also goes on forever, and some physicists believe that at the center of a hole, time may proceed as normal. There is a valley that no one can cross out of hell into heaven, or vice versa, that would be the event horizon. All directions from the center of a hole point north, so it is indeed a bottomless pit. Also, fallen angels in the Bible are called “Stars that give off no light”. “Darkened stars”, that’s a modern term for a hole. People there are “chained in gloomy darkness”, and then in the book of Job, God tells Job that he has “chained the stars together, and who can break them? so the “chains” He is discussing are the chains of gravity. I could go on and on, the horrifying thing is, that the Bible is indeed a scientific textbook, just a very scary one.

I’ve got an old family Bible from the 1800’s, written in English. It does have dates in the margin, with Genesis starting in 4004 B.C. There is no day however. It has Chapter 2 of Matthew being 4 B.C. — again no day. The Crucifixion is set in A.D. 33.

I don’t see that it is an Ussher Bible though.

What is your source for the day being shortened to 16 hours?

I've always read "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", meaning not that the individual days would be shortened, but that if it weren't for Christ coming back when he does, calling a halt to the natural outcome, everyone would perish.

That is how I've always read it. I haven't studied the passage in actual Greek or Hebrew, so I don't know what actual words are used, which could reveal what was really intended.

Translations from Greek or Hebrew to English, can be so lacking at times.

“Same literary device. The scripture uses metaphors too.”

I don’t believe this is metaphorical. Rather it attests to the fact that God is transcendent. He exists outside of time and space, therefore, since he created time it has no constraining influence upon Him. As a matter of fact, in Revelation where John states that he was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day many believe that refers not to Sunday which was not referred to as the Lord’s Day until a couple hundred years after John wrote, rather it refers to the “Day of the Lord”, the most commonly used prophetic term in all of Scripture. John was literally transported forward in time and viewed those events which have not yet occurred in our space-time continuum as they were occurring.

# 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.

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

Yes, but Khan will steal Genesis unless you speak in coded transmission where hours may seem like days . . .

[Sherman Logan]

16 hour days would not make the year shorter. A year is the time it takes the earth to orbit the sun. All 16 hour days would mean is that a year would be roughly 548 days long.

[ari-freedom]

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.
-
I have a question then. According to the Bible, people used to live to be hundreds of years old, especially Methuselah. Are those ages also subject to interpretation? After all, scientists don’t believe it is possible for man to live that long.

To me it indicates that the physical conditions of those times were very different than today.

What is your source for the day being shortened to 16 hours?

"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"

"Isaiah 24:20: The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard."

"Revelation 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise."

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

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Looks like the first (ex nihilo) stoichiometry problem. Wait... isn't that an oxymoron? And why is The Far Side coming to mind?

[xjcsa]

God is very clear on the fact that humans get 6000 years to attempt to rule ourselves. This is the six days of man.

What in God's great Book is your source for that?

And on the 7th day, the 7th 1000 year period, we get our rest, when Lord Jesus returns.

Again, is there a source for this, or is it sheer speculation?

I suspect we are very close to our 6000th year, but not quite.

Taking the scriptural genealogies at face value, we're at least at 6,110 years, plus fractions of years (unless everyone had kids exactly on their birthdays).

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.

Thus demonstrating the fallacy of your entire idea.

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.

That's a truly bizarre interpretation.

Oh well, in a couple hundred more years all this end-times hysteria might fade away (although I doubt it). It's the Christian version of eco-alarmism: it's all going to happen, just around the corner. Except it never does...although to be precise, it once did, in 70 AD.
