Happy Birthday World!
A day late, but that is because I was celebrating from early on 23rd until midnight. Then I said a prayer of thanks for God’s great gift of a planet and went to bed.
During yesterday's party, I met an old friend and I was so impressed with the words he spoke that I recorded them to share with you:

During yesterday's party, I met an old friend and I was so impressed with the words he spoke that I recorded them to share with you:
"We know that the world created 6,028 years ago because Archbishop Ussher, a 17th century Bible Literalist like you and I, worked it out from the genealogy and history of the Old Testament.
Richard Dawkins and Stephen Hawking P Z Meyers, and that Nigra guy with the French name - Tysing or whatever - just don’t have an answer for this. They simply “believe” the earth is well over 20,000 ears old.
No one but God knows the actual day of creation. But the age of the world is something everyone should consider:
Do you believe the world is hundreds of millions or even billions of years old as evolutionists do?
Or do you believe the Earth is much younger, in line with the biblical genealogies beginning with Adam and Eve?
Why do I think it matters how old the Earth is?
There are two reasons:
How does Hawking suggest everything in the physical world was created from nothing?
He says the law of gravity made it inevitable that the universe would create itself. That strikes me as a leap of faith, especially because he doesn’t and can’t explain who authored the law of gravity.
One thing we know for sure: Science can never prove the age of the Earth. Because science requires a methodology of observation and empirical testing that could never be done on an event that occurred thousands of years ago, millions of years ago or billions of years ago. God can, however, prove the age of the Earth because He was there. And someday, when He returns to judge His creation, He might just do that.
Until then, we have the detailed historical record He left us with in written form – the Bible."
I think that says it all. Isn't God wonderful?

There are two reasons:
- I take the Bible literally – and seriously. And the Bible strongly affirms a date in the neighborhood of 6,000 years, at least for the age of man, who was created on the sixth day, according to Genesis. If that’s not true, it calls into question the rest of the Bible’s accuracy.
- Atheists like Dawkins and Hawking are every bit as dogmatic about their theories of the age of the Earth as I am. They know they need lots of time to give their fairy tales about life spontaneously generating any credibility at all. Godless miracles require time, you know, lots of time.
