[Mark]

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with that at all. All that does is show us how long a time period the listed geneology covers. What about when the earth was "without form and void"? That time period counts too, but it is impossible for a human to know how long that period was.

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 
Gen 1:2   And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 
Gen 1:3   And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 
Gen 1:4   And God saw the light, that [it was] good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 
Gen 1:5   And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.  


That was all on the FIRST day. Day one. This was day 1 of his creation. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth that means that in the beginnig, on day 1 God created the heaven and the earth. It couldnt exist before this, as the Bible says he created them on day 1.

You should really watch Kent Hovinds creation videos. Creation is what made me a believer. Im a little surprised by some of your responces.

Even Jesus talks of a young earth.

Mar 10:6   But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 

Notice he says the beginning of creation. That means he made people right around the same time he made creation. 5 days later actually.

Here is a very telling passage on creation.

Jhn 5:45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is [one] that accuseth you, [even] Moses, in whom ye trust. 
Jhn 5:46   For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 
Jhn 5:47   But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? 

Well what did Moses write?

Exd 20:11   For [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is], and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 

6 days. 6 literal 24 hour days.

and it says that we cannot tell how long it's been, period. Your guessing based on what men say.

Where am i going on what any man has to say? I beleive the Bible, your saying the earth is older than what the Bible claims, that is a teaching of man.

and it says that we cannot tell how long it's been, period

book, chapter and verse please?
