If one day is a thousand years it can be deduced that life has only been on this planet approximately 11,000 years. If your a gapest (genesis 1:1-3) I'll conceed that there is wiggle room that the elements of the earth existed before the earth was (the beginning verses that first creation day) that the first day the earth going forward from that point in time would be approximately 13,000 years.
but john, the scripture doesn't say a day IS a thousand years it says a day is LIKE a thousand years and a thousand years is LIKE a day, you have to pick it appart to make your claims, you are just making stuff up - your claim of a 13k earth and using scripture trying to prove this is just willful ignorance of your own text.
it says that being with jesus is eternal,that time doesn't matter
They also estimated one shrub was 12,000 years, then another shrub they estimate 43,000 years. How was it estimated?
well the plant i was talking about was the kings holly and they found fossils that are exactly like it from the late Pleistocene period, plus i think they would use same dating methods they used to find the 12 thousand year-old shrub, plus i found other links to 13 thousand year old plants
