No, God willing I don't kid in this manner.
After reading all your postings, I realized your first question was a bit rhetorical. I obviously didn't come up with any date, but am relating other people's claims. Notice I have questions on this. I both prefaced with a ponderance, and closed with a question. "be ye angry and sin not, let not the sun go down upon your wrath"
Apparently what you know of this topic, you're as passionate about it as about catholics. So I shall try to tread lightly and explain.
This is not a debate over how long earth has been around, etc, it's just about archeology finds in Turkey. Take it for what it is.
It is claimed stone cannot be dated, thus no way to determine when the carvings MAY have been carved. You can only go by what is carved and compare to known images and take a guess, but more and more, as stuff is discovered and documented, details get clearer.
Answer: I don't know how they get that length of time. Regardless of the when, that place exists.
I'm sorry. I only lost you because I wasn't clear.
At first looking into this, honestly, the flood came to mind, something to do with the flood, because of all the different animals. That's all. I wasn't making some educated scientific statement Mark. These kinds of topics I haven't studied simply because it's unprofitable and vain in the end, as loving God and our neighbors all that matters. How old the earth is is irrelevant.
This Tepe site does seem more like some kind of reference to Eden now that I have read more about it. When was it built? I have no idea. 12,000 years old? I disagree, it could be that old. Show me how it can't be, in another thread. We need an earth age thread stickied anyway.
The Bolivian site I know of from tv specials. It's the obvious carving of the stone that's impressive, and looks mechanically cut. What happen to that site that it's basically scattered about. It's like it just got knocked over and scattered on the ground.
Pre-flood? I have little doubt, and I also believe some of those old sites like that were in part built with the help of fallen angels.
Tepe is more likely pre-flood as well the more I think about it. Also the finds off the Turkish coast, and the coast of Japan. All pre-flood sites I think.
I had to look up the Peleg reference. This is another topic that's seperate, this Peleg theory of continental shifts. We got to talk about this stuff Mark. I'm surprised you are taken in by that "opposition of science falsely so called" ideology.
It's obvious that the scriptures are talking about the divisions of men, not the earth geologically.
Ice Age? You believe that stuff too? How can you prove when it was cold or hot, or even for how long? Another topic!
