When do Christians believe the earth began?

Many Christians believe the earth was created somewhere between 20,000 and 12,000 years ago. No one knows for sure, because none of us was there.Answer:Young Earth theory states the Earth is about 6,000 years old. If you add the genealogies of the Bible up, it also come to about 6,000 years.Personally how old the Earth is would be impossible to determine, everything is a theory. I was not there.


How does carbon dating prove a young earth?

Carbon-dating can not be used to prove the age of the earth, so it can not be used either to prove a "young earth" nor to support the scientific age of the earth. Carbon-dating is useful for archaeology, where it can date evidence of human artefacts up to fifty thousand years old. Some less less informed "Young Earth" creationists do believe that carbon-dating was used to date the earth. They attempt, unsuccessfully, to undermine the science of carbon-dating in the belief that by doing so they undermine the scientific age of the earth, rather than because they constructively prove their point. The best estimates of the age of the earth have been arrived at by radioactive dating, but not by carbon-dating. Had techniques of radioactive dating not been invented, other known methods of dating the earth would prove that the world is more than a few million years old. Some of these are described in the related question, attached below.


Why are you younger on Mars?

A full year on Mars is about 687 earth days. That is about two earth years. This means that when you are 18 years old on the earth, you would be 9 years old on Mars. However, this doesn't mean that you'd look twice as young as you really are, you'd just have a different age but look exactly the same as you would on the Earth at your age.

What is Young Earth creationism?

== == Young Earth Creationism is one of two streams into which Creationism can be divided (the other being Old Earth Creationism which also accepts a divine creator, but agrees with mainstream science that the scientific evidence points to the world being immensely old and that species have evolved through the process of evolution). Young Earth Creationism is a world-view that interprets scientific evidence based on a literal or semi-literal reading of the Biblical book of Genesis and thus teaches that the world is only about 6,000 years old. Young Earth Creationists believe that living things were created by God much as we know them today and that the various species have diversified within the genetic pool of their original kind.

What is the difference of a creationist and evolutionist?

As a general meaning, the term Creationist refers to a person, usually a Cristian, who believes God created the world. In most cases it refers to a Young- Earth creationist. These people believe that God created the world as described in the Bible, with all living things created as they are today. Most of these creationists belive that the world is about 6,000 years old, based on a very literal interpretation of the Bible. Some have different opinions, though, claiming the world is as much as a few hundred thousand years old. Evolutionists belive that life changes over the course of generations, with new species emerging gradually as mutations and differing survival rates alter the gene pool. Unlike creationists, evolutionists believe the world to be between 4.5 and 4.6 billion years old based on isotope dating.

A man is as old as he feels?

i believe its true because old men can be young cause they believe , they feel they are young therefore, they are young. but some younger men feel older and therefore he becomes older. if you are a young guy, but you are always stressed, then that means you will get wrinkles earlier. if you are older but you are always happy, energetic and optimistic, then your health will be good


Can Christians be evolutionists why or why not?

Yes. "Evolutionists" believe that life slowly evolves over time from generation to generation through mutations and natural selection. The basic beliefs of Christians are that Jesus is the divine son of God, and that he sacrificed himself to save people from their sins. These beliefs do not contradict one another. Not all Christians have such a literal interpretation of the story of creation in the Bible. Some view many of the stories of the Old Testament to be metaphorical rather than factual accounts. A basic belief of Christianity is that God created the heavens and the earth. God created man not a monkey that evolved into a man. A Christian couldn't be an evolutionist ie believe in the theory of evolution.
