How can Christians not see that the earth is more than 6500 yrs old?
They just miss the mark by billions of yrs.
This is blindness at its greatest.
Or is it just plain old dishonesty.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI believe I am human, and that I did observe the creation of the earth. Observation does not require a direct line of sight with photons going from the object/event in question to the human eye. Observation merely requires a causal chain of events such that the original event can be known by the human brain based on information it receives.
No human being observed the creation of the earth.
I can be more sure about the age of the earth than you can about the location of the Ace of spades during a card trick right before your eyes.
