How do creationists reconcile Adam and Eve's date to the 4.5 billion years age of the Earth?
Creationists don't generally attempt to reconcile the two. In relation to the date of 4.5 million years they point to a number of scientific objections to this date being regarded as absolute. Three totally unprovable assumptions underly radiometric dating methods and so they cannot be absolute dates. In addition to this, such dating methods have been demonstrably false when dealing with rocks of known age and geologists in the field also regard them with some suspicion and use them when they agree with their own conclusions and discard them when not. So in practical science it is obvious the date is certainly questionable.
Further to this, creationists point to various scientific evidences of a young earth and universe, of which there are scientifically quite a number. Included in this are details of the soft T. Rex tissue discovery by Dr. Mary Schweitzer, which, even in ideal conditions, cannot have survived for that length of time.
People such as Hugh Ross are essentially attempting to stretch the biblical chronology to fit the evolutionary time scale. So evolution is the absolute and The Bible comes second in his mind and is able to be changed to fit evolution, despite the clear meaning of the Hebrew word yom (day) in its context in Genesis 1. Although yom can indeed be used for an indefinite period of time, it is never so meant when it has the qualifiers evening and morning (remembering that the Hebrews regarded the day as beginning in the evening) which can only refer to 24 hour day as we have today.
What else can I help you with?
How old do creationists think the earth is?
Creationists often believe that the earth is around 6,000 to 10,000 years old, based on a literal interpretation of the Bible. This belief is in contrast to the scientific consensus, which holds that the earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old.
How old was earth when life appeared on it?
The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. Life appeared on Earth about 3.5 billion years ago. The Earth would have been about 1 billion years old at that time.
How old is Earth?
The Earth is at least 4.4 billion years old.
What is all the time that has passed since the earth's origin?
Earth is thought to be 4.5-4.6 billion years old.
How many eons old is earth?
Since earth first achieved dynamic balance (became a globe) is about 4.5 billion years.
How old do creationists think the earth is?
Creationists often believe that the earth is around 6,000 to 10,000 years old, based on a literal interpretation of the Bible. This belief is in contrast to the scientific consensus, which holds that the earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old.
Does the earth have 100 billion years?
No. The universe itself is about 13.7 billion years old. Earth is between 4.5 and 4.6 billion years old.
What happened to the earth 700 billion years ago?
Earth did not exist 700 billion years ago, nor did the universe. Earth is about 4.6 billion years old.
What 4.6 billion years is to the earth?
It is just a fact that earth is 4.6 billion years old.
When will the earth turn 7 billion years old?
The Earth is currently 4.5 billion years, so in approximately 2.5 billion years time.
Did earth form 50 billion years ago or 5?
Earth formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago, not 50 billion years ago or 5 billion years ago. This age estimate is based on radiometric dating of meteorites and rocks on Earth.
Was the earth around 7 billion years ago?
No, the earth wasn't around 7 billion years ago. Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago.
Were rocks that are 3.5 billion years present when earth was first formed?
No, rocks that are 3.5 billion years were not present when earth was first formed. Earth formed about 4.6 billion years ago.
Will Earth be disintegrated in 2 billion years?
It is unlikely that Earth will be disintegrated in exactly 2 billion years. However, in about 5 billion years, the sun will expand into a red giant, potentially reaching Earth's orbit and causing the planet's destruction.
In 156 billion years will earth get scorched?
No. Earth will be scorched and possibly consume by the sun in about 5 billion years.
How long do creationists think the universe has existed?
There are multiple different types of creationists, depending on their beliefs. Young Earth Creationists tend to believe the universe is less than 10,000years old due to biblical records (the ages of the descendants from Noah onwards are given, and were used to estimate the time since creation). Note that this age is not supported by science which has dated the age of the universe to be 13.72 billion years old.
How old was earth when life appeared on it?
The Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. Life appeared on Earth about 3.5 billion years ago. The Earth would have been about 1 billion years old at that time.
