"Planet Earth" plays on the science channel is one my favorites, so very interesting. I think their estimates are around 4 billion years. Of course for the first few billion it was just a molten mass.

So many interesting theories. But one of the great modern mysteries is the migration of the Monarch butterfly.

somebody said if you took how long we humans have been alive, it would be but the size of a postage stamp at the very tip of the empire state building in comparison to how long the earth has been here....how would you then measure the average human life in relation to the earth's age?@)

I like the part where the other planet collides with earth and all the snot knocked loose floats in orbit like Saturn's rings until they come together to form the moon.

Then the gravitational pull slows the earths rotation so that the wild wind and waves calm to a point that there is a planet that can sustain life.

KTV, did you mistakenly click "Less than 10,000"?

If so, I can edit your vote

No thanks. I traded my vote from another poll. This one was for Railbird.

Besides, I didn't want Festeringzit to be the first in this one.

:lol:

Only hardcore religious people believe that the earth is only 10,000 years old because of the Bible. They also believe that at one point, men lived between 500 and 900 years!!

I was in Fire Island in late Sept one year. Millions of Monarchs. Quite a site.

Anyone can view the Public Poll results by clicking on either of the vote Totals to the right of the Poll Results

hey, I think we're in the 17,000 year of global warming, which was preceded by a 70,000 year period of global cooling, which was preceded by a 20,000 year period of global warming and so on

don't ask me why I choose to believe this particular theory when I discount so many others, it may have something to do with dinosaurs (and the Flintstones of course).

Do you think all the dinosaur remains might be faked? If so, I'm gonna have to smoke a bone and arrive at some new belief or something, man.

What most people in this thread don't realize is that
the concept implicit in believing in God and creation, (which
is the view in fact that most people believe) is that the earth
had an implicit age built into it at the time of creation.

For example, when God created trees, rocks, canyons, mountains -
they all had age built into them. The trees had age rings. When he
created animals, they had an age at the time of creation.

When he created the stars that lined the sky at night, the light from
those stars was already reaching the earth even though the stars
were light years away - as if the stars were millions of years old.

Something to think about, for those that don't by into the religion
of Darwinism, which by the way has absolutely no answer for how
all of the universe got here in the first place.

Neither does the Book of Genesis.

Good news is that continued scientific exploration will yield new information and facts. But the Book of Genesis will never change from it's fables of man being created from dry swamp goo and women being created from the rib of a man.
