Best argument for the Earth not being 6,000 years old !!

Many Christians think the world is only 6,000?

SRSLY?

I've never heard any of the ones I know say any such thing.

Many Christians also believe in the Flintstone Theory, which is that man and dinosaurs walked the earth together.

And many idiots, er, I mean Atheists, believe we evolved from fish and/or apes.

There's a reason why that 'link' is missing
:eusa_shhh:
Again, the press are talking about “the missing link“. Let’s get one thing clear. There is no missing link. Rather, there are an indefinite number of missing branches. To have a missing link, you need to visualise evolution as a chain. If there’s a gap in the chain, then you have a missing link. But evolution, at least at the scale of animals and plants, is mostly a tree. And all we see are individual nodes of the tree, the extant species that form, in Darwin’s metaphor, the leaves of the living tree, and the extinct species that form branching points deeper in the tree. But we do not have enough information to know the shape of the tree for all but the smallest twigs and larger branches. There may be, for all we know, millions of missing species. We might have a species that is an ancestor of some other species, and yet not know enough to say that they are indeed the ancestor in question.

This looks to be an exciting find, and possibly it will give us more information about the overall relationships of primates, but it is not the missing link, and it is one of potentially millions of missing nodes of the evolutionary tree.
There is no missing link ? Evolving Thoughts
 
To many Christians think that the earth is around 6,000 years old. There is something called "the speed of light" which means that we see stars how they looked like a long time ago (depending how far away they are from us) if we see them in the sky, in a telescope etc. How can we then see stars that are millions of light years away if the earth is only 6,000 years old. If a star is 1 million Light years away then we see how it looked like 1 million years ago.

How does the age of the earth affect the speed of light from stars millions of light years away?

God made everything in the first week:

[1:1] In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth,
[1:2] the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters.
[1:3] Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.
...
[1:31] God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
