It's not that I'm an atheist or anything, but I don't understand why God couldn't have created the Earth billions of years ago. After all, even 10,000 years seems rather a short amount of time, doesn't it? It doesn't say specifically in the Bible the age of the Earth, and though we could try to calculate it based on dates given in the Book, that's also rather difficult and not very precise. All I'm saying is, some Young Earth Creationists think the Earth is just 6,000 years old. That's just 3 times the time that's elapsed since Christ's birth. Just 3! It just seems short to me. | It's not that I'm an atheist or anything, but I don't understand why God couldn't have created the Earth billions of years ago.
