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.

6,000 would be more accurate than 4,000.

Did Aristotle, Socrates, or Plato exist?

It's 6,000 years.

Jesus was mentioned in the Works of Josephus, a historian of the time. Whether you believe Jesus is God or not is up to you, but he very much was here and was recorded by non-christians alike as being so.

Alright well if its 6000 then this kid was especially dumb

I agree Stacked.

The kid's just repeating what he's been told. Give him a break. He isn't yet at an age where he breaks this stuff down on his own to figure out what he really believes.

I beg to differ

He was 16

Still living with parents. Case and point. I know people in their 30's who are just now really figuring out what THEY believe as opposed to what they've always been told. 16 is barely old enough to drive, let alone drive responsibly. And you expect him to have the history of the world worked out?

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.

Josephus was born after or maybe a year before Jesus had died.

Did you get some peach cobbler while at Philmont?

"Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews, written around 93–94 AD, includes two references to the biblical Jesus Christ in Books 18 and 20 and a reference to John the Baptist in Book 18.[3][4]"
You don't find it strange that he only thought to mention such a historical figure 60 years after the man had died?
Say, how do you think Jesus looked?
