Now, would any other anti-evolutionists care to step up and confirm that/question it?
Viceroy, I believe you had an opinion that the world was somewhat older.
Yes I do have an opinion but it is based on a theory as the age of the earth can not really be determine through flawed science. The dating method as Premio has stated is based on a lot of assumptions and so inaccurate. Some questions need directly revealed knowledge which is simply not necessary to human "Growth" at this time.
While I believe the Bible to be true, the Bible also only shows that the earth is ancient in creation. But whether that be Millions or Billions or even thousands is all open to conjecture at this time.
There are however certain things that the Bible does reveal as Clues.
One thing that the Bible does reveal is that all the Sons (angels) of God were present at the creation of the earth (Job 38:7). This would also indicate that the earth was a special creation. Apart from the rest of the universe.
Another thing is that there was a war in heaven (Revelation 12:7) and that the fallen angels were cast to the earth (Revelation 12:9). This means that the earth was created at a time when all of the angels were one with God.
The war in Heaven must have wreck havoc with creation. Uranus for example is a planet that Literally got knocked on it's side. Uranus does not have a north and south pole, it has an east and west pole. Venus is a planet that rotates in the opposite direction from west to East and the Asteroid belt between Mars and the gas giants would tend to indicate that there use to be a planet where now there is only a ring of Rocks orbiting our sun.
Evidence that the moon is gradually moving away from the earth means that at one time the moon was much closer to the earth. This would also tend to indicate that the moon and earth could not have been created in the billions of years ago but was in fact a special creation of God after the creation of the Universe and our solar system. Craters on the moon would indicate a violent past history of bombardments as well. Then there is the possibility of a two moon system colliding with each other or rather a new moon that was drawn into orbit only to crash on our moon. So many little things to explain.
So the question would be, how long would it have taken all of this to happen. If what we see around us is an indication of a war in the heavens then when was it fought. In my opinion an asteroid belt would have dissipated by now if it were billions of years so I believe we are talking Millions of years from a war in the heavens. But when was the earth originally created and how long from the creation of the earth to the war in heaven is another question all together.
But I am of the opinion that we are at least talking Millions of years ago, although the earth was finally recreated 6,000 years ago after it became a dead water world buried in a dark cloud of interstellar dust for only God knows how long. This alone would make life evolving on this planet impossible. Way too much destruction and darkness even if it were true that Species can evolve from other species.
