Age Of The Earth

Here's Pat Robertson speaking through his Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN) and declaring that the creationists are wrong to say the earth is only 6,000 years old when, in fact, it is billions of years old:



Sounds almost sensible doesn't he? But his Christian Broadcasting Network also carries articles that say exactly the opposite; that the earth is NOT billions of years old but only 6,000 years old.

Pat Robertson is just a cunning old confidence trickster, telling people what they want to hear, and casually collecting money from followers on both sides of the debate.

According to evolution, they try to say that dinosaurs died out 65 million years before man came on the scene. Well, according to the Bible, if you just read it literally, which I do, you have a six-day creation. The land, the creatures, were created on day six with Adam and Eve; and therefore, that is when the dinosaurs would have also been created. So from our biblical worldview, we would expect to see evidence of man and dinosaur co-existing.

Many Christians believe that the world is very old based on fossil records that are presumably dated at millions of years. Indeed the dispute between an old earth and a young earth is hotly debated within the Christian community. Unfortunately, those who subscribe to an old earth theory do not realize the enormity of their compromise.
[...]
To believe in evolution undermines the entire gospel message of Jesus Christ. All Christians believe that Jesus Christ suffered physical death and shed His blood because death was the penalty for sin. Therefore, teaching millions of years of death, disease and suffering before Adam sinned, is a direct attack on the foundation and message of the Cross.
