One can realize what a worthless crock of psychobabble that whole dissertation is if one remembers that Earth itself is only between 6,000 and 10,000 years old.
Please go back to the religion Forum since your mind does not seem to be open to the possibilities of science. Perhaps you can at least see it is possible to tell the age of a tree by counting the tree rings. Scientists have taken cores of glaciers, ancient trees, lake bed sediments, and layers formed in sediments that have hardened into rock. The number of these layers has been taken back for hundreds of thousands of years, and that is the simplest and most direct way of measuring age. There are a number of others. Open your mind to see the vastness of God’s creations and actions. Such a piddling little God to only have 6,000 years of creation. How limited your belief has left you. God deserves better than that.
Quit polluting my religion with that BS! One man made all that crap up a few hundred years ago.
"James Ussher (or Usher; 4 January 1581 – 21 March 1656) was the Church of Ireland Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland between 1625 and 1656. He was a prolific scholar and church leader, who today is most famous for his identification of the genuine letters of the church father, Ignatius, and for his chronology that sought to establish the time and date of the creation as "the entrance of the night preceding the 23rd day of October... the year before Christ 4004"; that is, around 6 pm on 22 October 4004 BC, per the proleptic Julian calendar.
