ok edit my post - thousands of years.

but still never close to millions

do you believe that the speed of light is roughly 720 million miles per hour?

Recently modern geologists have determined that the Earth is about 4.5 Billion years old. Creationists tell me that the earth is clearly only 5 thousand years old, and dinosaurs and man lived together, and the earth was covered in a ice shield and people lived to be thousands of years old.

What do you believe?

[Stovegeothnon]

It's really old, like 100 years old

[AntonioXYZ]

I'd go with the geologists in saying it's around 4.5 billion years old. But I still believe that man, and dinosaur lived together at some point in time, and many other periodic times before and after. Definitely older than a mere 5 thousand years old though, positive of that..

I believe the earth is significantly younger than 4,5 billion years old. I have trouble wrapping my head around the earth being less than 10,000 years old.
So I will say: The earth is > 10,000 years < 4,500,000,000 years

we may never know for sure but i would bet its older then 5,000 years old.

[ådrrraj]

375 years old.

[HugoSimon]

375 years old.

i don't even think scientists REALLY know.

I wonder how man could outlive dinosaur if they lived together. how did one become extinct yet man didnt?

You watch too much Flintstones... Humans & Dinosaurs didn't live together.

Oh I agree, thats what I believe as well. It was in response to the person who agreed that they may have.

Sorry to be picky but I'm sure a lot of these creationalists belive the earth is actually 6,000 years old. Carry on!

[wMceqj7F]

3.2 billion years old.

really? the argument i viewed was 5 thousand, but I don't know I'm not a creationist. I believe in evolution.

Ah, dont worry, I grew up with these nutters. God was perfect when he killed people in a worldwide genocide by flooding the earth too and Lots daughters were right to get their father drunk and rape him as well but hey, what do I know about a book I've read cover to cover?

Exactly, and it boggles the mind that some parts are meant to be taken literal, some parts are to be taken figuratively, but all of it is 'true'.
For the record, the great flood did not make the grand canyon, just thought I'd get that off my chest too. It's not physically possible.

[bmwservis]

The age of earth is determined by very careful geological examination, of course it's impossible to say exactly how old it is, but my bet is with with the real scientists. The creationists just say 'because the bible says so' and thats just plain stupidity.

Most creatures we today call dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago, earliest evidence of modern humans are from about 10,000 BC I think.

Scientists dedicate their lives to researching things such as this, so when they come up with an approximate time the earth was born I believe them. Who am I do to say they don't really know what they're doing?

I'd definately say it was in the billions but I haven't really looked into it.
