TV's 60 Minutes Decimal Mistake

[Johny Joe Hold]

Tonight on CBS Television's "60 Minutes" there was a humorous mistake in math.

The story was about a skull and some bones found in Africa. The bones were claimed to be 1.9 million years.

We at Landover Baptist have proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the world is only 6,000 years old.

That being the case, these bones are obviously only 1.9 thousand years old.

Some peoples kids... they just don't realize that ALL answers can be found in the bible.

Re: TV's 60 Minutes Decimal Mistake

This is not the first time I’ve seen the decimal point misplaced. I put it down to public school thinking. If you multiply 0.2 by 0.4, the answer is .008 but a lot of people simply don’t think that looks right so they write 0.8.

None of this would have happened if they knew KJV1611, but they are scientists and of Satan and wish to spread confusion in the land!

Da:1:20: And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king enquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm.

Ec:8:12: Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him:

De:1:11: (The LORD God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)

Da:7:10: A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

Believe it or not, it's not a mistake. They are doing it on purpose. It seems that these people working on CBS have not yet been taught the true age of the world by Landover Baptist! If you go to the heathenous Wikipedia, you will see there are still a crazy amount of people who actually believe the universe to be FOURTEEN BILLION years old!

I thought we had put this insanity behind us.

I sometimes think that this idiocy is wilful, it's as if people know the real answer and still spout out the first and most exaggerated figure they think their audience will accept! It infuriates me and certainly does not make bringing people to Jesus any easier!

Wow, thank you for that, Brother! Until today, I always lived with the idea that 0.2 times 0.4 equalled 0.08. Thanks for the correction!

It is typical atheist behaviour to make their ideas look more impressive than they really are by exaggerating numbers. It happens in global warming predictions, it happens in measurements of their own IQ and it happens when they calculate ages of the fossils and rocks.
