I find that odd, since there is no part of scripture that, through straightforward reading, states the earth is about 6000 years old.....that number comes from the calculations of a mid 19th century theologian who relied on many factors other than scriptures and who messed things up, horribly.....Many scientists and theologians accept a straightforward reading of Scripture and agree that the earth is about 6,000 years old.
In light of the fact that the Sumerian civilization was already in existance more than 6000 years ago, it would seem wise that if you expect Christianity to taken seriously, you need to get rid of the more ridiculous claims that have been made in its behalf.....

here is something for young earth creationists to consider.....re-read Genesis 1-3....now tell me, using a literal understanding of scripture.....how many years did Adam and Eve spend in the Garden of Eden.....
here is another question to ponder
Genesis 3
16 To the woman he said,
"I will greatly increase your pains in childbearing;
with pain you will give birth to children.
how many children did Eve have before the fall? Is it not obvious that prior to Genesis 3 she had many painless birthings?
You could follow a totally literal understanding of Genesis 1-2 and still state that the earth was 10 billion years old at the time of the events of Genesis 3
“… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.
Then it should be a breeze for you to post a few links that the majority of scientists think the theory of macro-evolution is unscientific. I eagerly await said links. I tell you what...to save you some time, I'll settle for ONE, credible link that purports the majority of scientists think the theory of macro-evolution is unscientific.
lets say i tell abbey that you fell down the stairs and abbey tells man from maine you fell down etc and hurt yourself , then man from main tells sir evil that you fell down the stairs and there was blood every where all this could happen in a day or two ( you know thats true )
now imagine stories in the bible (no disputing true or false ) have gone on for hundreds and hundreds of years never mind the translations no one will ever tell me there as been no distortion over the centuries. now i know i slightly exagerated the stairs thing but theres the point again
How can a theory be "unscientific"? Isn't it more accurate to accuse it of being just wrong? I would have thought that the term "scientific" or "un" would have referred to the process of arriving at the theory.
Just a question from your friendly forum pedant.

however, when we compare copies that are printed today with copies fom the Dead Sea Scrolls, for example, we find there has been no distortion.....how is that?now imagine stories in the bible (no disputing true or false ) have gone on for hundreds and hundreds of years never mind the translations no one will ever tell me there as been no distortion over the centuries
You really must like your self-imposed ignorance, don't you?
If you actually would read the 2nd article, you'd find iit's from an entirely DIFFERENT publication by an unrelated author....
You're the kind of ninny someone could post hundereds of links to and you'd stil keep your head buried in the sand on this issues until 1 you found agreed with your disbelief of God.
You want to talk about Faith? WOW - I have TONS of respect for your HUGE leaps of faith it takes to think this world, how perfectly it's created (distance fromt he sun, its atmosphere which shields us from a violent space, the perfect amount of oxygen to substain life etc etc.) - to think that it all happened by random chance! Now THAT is FAITH brutha! Wow....
When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.
You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
And you're too busy bleating to consider that ALL of these creation proponents are coming from exactly that place. It amazes me to this day that an intelligent person could believe that ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, Babylonians, et al, were full of shit theologically, but the ancient Jews weren't.
Sorry bout that,
1. Well, well,.....some proof of my view on how things came about are in fact proven in a small city here in Texas.
2. If you ever come to these parts of the world, you will find in Glen Rose, Texas, human footprints in the very same layer of sedimate of *The Paluxy River, with Dinosaurs tracks, side by side, within a few feet of each other, even some human footprints within Dino tracks.
3. You can't de~solidify rock and then millions of years later have humans imprinting this very same layer of sedimate.
4. I will provide a link is asked.
5. But anyone can google it themselves and find the information.
