So im a scout master in my local troop and I was doing this thing called philmont which is where you go hiking in the New Mexican mountains. One day we were hiking back down a mountain and one kid says to another, "Dude how old do you think these rocks are?"
This kid answers, "Probably a good few billion years old."
And then this other kid in my crew says, "the earth is only 4000 years old."
Everyone starts laughing because its stupid and then the smartest kid in our group goes "There is no way the earth can be 4000 years old because carbon dating dates stuff back billions of years ago"
And then the other kid goes "no carbon dating is false"
I was quite taken aback by the stupidity of these remarks and so I looked into it more. I learned that this dude in the mid-1900s used the bible to date the earth back 4000 years ago on like a tuesday at 9 oclock in the morning.
This is bullshite
I just have to ask if anyone on here believes this?

Ah shite, man. You just opened a can of worms. There's tons of people here that believe the Earth is less than 10,000 years old in spite of trees being older than that.
Also, Jesus never existed.

Most common number I hear thrown around by the bible-thumpers is 6,000 not 4.

Alright well if its 6000 then this kid was especially dumb

One of the greatest spots on earth. I worked as a wrangler there for a year.
As for the rest of your post, I don't care if someone is wrong. It has never bothered me.

Did you get some peach cobbler while at Philmont?

I've met a few poor souls that believe the world is only 2014 years old. How people can be that stupid is beyond me.
July 4th is also a fun one. A lot of people were saying "Happy 2014th Birthday America!"

Intelligent Design is totally acceptable to me.
The Universe is probably 13.7 billion years old and the Big Bang is a reasonably theoretical starting point for our current period of time. It all started somewhere. Life is still a mystery. We all have souls. There is a God.
Science is a religion, so is Atheism.

I thought... "In the Beginnning" God created like earth and the Universe and shite.... and then created light and the first day.
As in he made space and time and the rock we live on and some time later decided to actually get back to it and then the 7 days stuff happens.
It's all confusing, like trying to keep Dr. Who facts straight.

These people are rare, but they do exist. Very few of them, I would imagine, would ever post on an internet message board. YEC's (Young Earth Creationists) are basically what the media portrays all Christians to be.

i agree with the estimate, but would multiply it 10 billion times.
