Oh! There is a tree that is older than 6000 years old!

Re: Oh! There is a tree that is older than 6000 years old!

it is (according to scientists) 9550 year old.

Anyway, The Tree is in Sweden a country infamous for its "liberality" (i.e. "sin") - the Swedes are all Lutherans - think "Lo-Cal Catholic."

This is most typical of atheist science. The tree is supposedly almost 10,000 years old, i.e., conceived before the Earth was even there, but at the same time the scientists forget another one of their favorite theories: the "ice age". They neglect the fact that according to their own theories, Sweden was under 2 miles of ice through which no sapling could have germinated. This is a map that depicts the era when the tree was supposedly born!



We, on the other hand, do know that the "ice age" is real but that it was much more recent caused by the frozen water canopy that provided the waters above (Genesis 8:2) and then rained down forming the glaciers at the end of the Flood!

Therefore, the total length of time for a post-Flood Ice Age is about 700 years. It was indeed a rapid Ice Age. This is an example of bringing back the Flood into earth history. As a result, processes that seem too slow at today’s rates were much faster in the past.

This proves that the tee cannot be that old. The secular scientists might be sincere in their fallacies but still awfully misguided; apparently their habit of being stiff-necked has caused them to fall into God's Deception.

Ezekiel 14:9
And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand upon him, and will destroy him from the midst of my people Israel.

Yes, there are.

Old Tjikko is one. it is (according to scientists) 9550 year old. Jorukka Oak and Pando are even older, always according to scientists.

Let's give them the benefit of doubt. I doubt those trees are that old, but let's say they are.

This is another Work of Satan. It is designed to test the faith of Christians. However, as Only God can make perfect things, it becomes obvious to the careful observer that God did not create this tree before He created the Earth and all that is on it.


We can see Satan's imperfections:

Would this prove Genesis wrong? Would this shake our faith to the point of becoming unbelievers?


Of course not. But let's expand the answer a little bit.


1) If this was true, and this would contradict Genesis, it would not mean God does not exist. It would mean the Bible is wrong, and we should be looking for another faith, one that states the Earth is older. But there is a problem with this logic, that goes this way:
a) Atheist do not believe in any God
b) We believe in one God
c) Atheist prove our belief to be wrong in one point
d) There is no other God provided by Atheists
e) Atheists cannot prove God does not exist
f) As there is no other God, we should continue to believe in our God, and wait for an explanation of the supposed wrong point in the Bible.


2) And this is the KEY: when God created Adam , he was not a baby. Scriptures call him a man, not a baby.
If Adam was created by God as a man of, let's say, 20 years old, could He create a tree of 5000 years old? That tree would be now 11000 thousands years old. And this would explain those trees.


Isn't that an easy explanation for the age of the trees? Same with rocks. God wanted the Earth to look like it was billions years old, knowing that an infant Earth would be not a good environment for humans, the creation He favored the most.


Again, why should we complicate things more? Why should we be looking for a big conspiracy to create a fake God and impose it to the masses, while a simply, elegant and coherent answer could be found between the pages of the Bible?


As usual, Jesus wins. Check mate, atheists!
