I've been wondering about this question for a while. Where did it say in the bible that the Universe is only 6,000 years old?
​
This is not an attempt to mock at the creationist's view. I just want to understand the position of my enemy better.
​
Please people, no science. I just want strict biblical... stuff in this thread.
​
By the way, I remember someone having a conversation with crashfrog a while back on this topic. Froggie asked the person, according to the bible, when was the Earth created, and the person answered, "the first day." Frog asked again and and the person answered something like "6 days before the 7th day."
​
I don't want vague answers like that. If you have nothing but vague answers, don't even bother answering, please.

idea goes that God created humans and within a few days either way the rest of the planet and all life...
​
I thought it was the other way around.
