The way God see’s time, and the way we see time are quite different. Given the approximate age of the earth is 4.54 Billion years. Human kind, as we know humans (Homo Sapien Sapien), have been around for only 200,000 years.

The bible is over 2,000 years old and tells of times yet to come, well over 2,000 years in the future.

So, given the age of the earth, and we are told that God was around well before Earth was, humans have been around for only ~0.0000044% of the earth’s existance.

The bible was written at a point in time, well after 198,000 years of moden human first appearing on earth. If you know the exact end of time, you can say that we are 99.97% of the way there; but even then 0.03% of the human timeline is 600 years.

Based upon what the Bible says about the end of days; I’d just as soon be dead and buried at least 10 minutes beforehand. It doesn’t sound like a whole lot of fun.

I think science speculates on the age of Earth and the age of Man. A million years is a blink of the eye in God’s realm. But why should we even care how old the Earth is, or how long ago the dinosaurs lived and how they died? It happened.
And there will be an ending just as there was a beginning.
