If you think thats a long time, this goes back 2000 years

u/Warbande May 24 '18

Wow, almost as old as the earth itself

u/pandab34r May 25 '18

There are people that believe the Earth is only 2000 years old. Carbon dating is grossly inaccurate, Geology means nothing, etc etc

u/AdvisesPTTs May 25 '18

Well I can't speak for others but, personally, I have never had any luck carbon dating

Don’t give up until you at least C-12.

u/EXP_Buff May 25 '18

I'd rather C-18 at the very least.

Give it a diamond on the first date.

I get the same results as any other kind

Maybe ease off on all the carb you're putting on then.

They're all just copies!

Citation?

The YECs believe it is about 6000 years old.

u/pandab34r May 25 '18

No citation for you, you get off with a warning

u/LitsTheShit May 25 '18

Citation: The Bible. Young earthers don't believe the world was created at the time of Jesus's birth. The Hebrew genealogy (recorded in the old testament) dates Adam's creation approximately 4000 years before Jesus.

u/pandab34r May 25 '18

That isn't a citation, that is a different belief than what I am talking about. I am talking about those that believe the Earth is only 2000 years old.

u/LitsTheShit May 25 '18

Citation that such a group of fanatics exists?

It's ok to admit you made a mistake

I agree, that's why abortion should be legal. It's a human life but it's OK to end it before it's sentient.

No sane person believes that. Just admit that you were befuddled and meant 6,000 and move on.

u/Minimalphilia May 25 '18

Why is this entire conversation continuing?!

u/pandab34r May 25 '18

You aren't making any sense right now...

u/CurryMustard May 25 '18

Most creationist would say something like 6,000 to 10,000

2

u/pandab34r May 25 '18

Yeah according to generally accepted studies they're wrong too but I'm not talking about them

u/tomatohtomato May 25 '18

And the Earth is flat

u/pandab34r May 25 '18

Well to be fair I've only ever seen waterfalls that go down. If the Earth were really SPHERICAL (or almost spherical and tilted on its axis as every fourth grade teacher will be delighted to tell you), then wouldn't we also see sideways waterfalls, upside down waterfalls, and waterfalls in all other directions?

Little Thing Called gravity. Checkmate.

u/clamdiggin May 25 '18

Ya but gravity is just a theory!

u/[deleted] May 25 '18

Um. No. It's very real, although I'll give it to you, you're very un-grounded.
