The expansion that I have just added of [[James Ussher]]'s calculations of the date of creation are a dual submission of original work. I am the same user as Temlakos on [[CreationWiki]], and the edits to the "Calculated dates" section are based on the section titled "James Ussher" in [http://creationwiki.org/index.php?title=Anno_Mundi&oldid=104582 this version] of the CreationWiki article titled [http://creationwiki.org/Anno_Mundi Anno Mundi]. That section is entirely my own work.--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 20:43, 24 June 2007 (EDT)

Doesn't CreationWiki support both old and young earth creationism. Why is everyone so hung up on the age of the Earth. God made it, who cares how old it is.

:First, why don't you sign your posts? That's what the Signature button is for.
:Second: What we're "hung up" on, is the truth, and exerting the best of our ability to find it. We should care how old the earth is ''because the [[Bible]] gives us definite clues'' that make sense only in the context of a young earth. You will find these clues mainly in {{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=5}}, and then in {{Bible ref|book=Genesis|chap=11|verses=10-32. In short: the chronology and genealogy tell us that only so many years can have passed since Creation.
:Now if the Bible is incorrect in this, then it would not be trustworthy in the most important thing to which ''only'' the Bible attests--and that is the nature of [[Sin (Fundamentalism)|sin]] and of the need for [[Jesus Christ]] to make amends for it. (I would mention [[Jesus Christ]] Himself, except that He is in fact the Best-attested Figure in recorded history, with more references mentioning Him than any other person of historical interest.)--[[User:TerryH|TerryH]]<sup>[[User talk:TerryH|Talk]]</sup> 14:05, 6 July 2007 (EDT)
