:I know time is not absolute, but I don't know how that affects what I was saying. Not everything needs a cause; only things that have a beginning need a cause, and God has no beginning. Ultimately ''something'' must be eternal, in order to provide a cause for things that have a beginning, else you get into endless regression. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.

== Age of the earth ==
In my own discussions with creation scientists, it seemed to me that the ages usually considered were from 6,000 years (of course), but up to about 20,000 years (where anything beyond would make the magnetic fields too strong). It seemed about 10,000 years made the most sense. The apparent skipping of some generations in the Genesis geneology gives some variation to how old the earth could be (and of course the precedent in other parts of the Bible of compressing geologies). I am wondering, since I don't see this view represented here, if anyone else has heard similar time tables? Thanks [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 10:58, 17 May 2007 (EDT)
