Our New Speaker Thinks the Earth is 6,000 Years Old

[jc456]

Copra sanctum! That changes everything! Hmmm. Morning and evening, 2, = one day.

2 = 1 day, times the number of fruit loops on the planet, around 9 billion, divided by two, morning and evening = around 4.5 billion years old.

but the earth is still 6,000 years old right?

 

[Meathead]

Well, this is reassuring.

The new Speaker appears to believe that the Earth is 6,000 years old.

Before arriving in Washington less than a decade ago, House Speaker Mike Johnson, a deeply religious Christian, was a legal crusader associated with a fringe evangelical movement called “young Earth creationism,” based on a literal reading of the Bible’s Book of Genesis that posits the Earth is only several thousand years old.​

​

In the mere hours since Johnson was elected speaker Wednesday, he hadn’t had to address his views on creationism and evolution. But his close ties to a leader of the creationist movement and his past legal work — on behalf of the Ark Encounter creationist theme park, where children can learn that dinosaurs were passengers on Noah’s Ark — seem to suggest that he’s also personally aligned with these beliefs.​

“The Ark Encounter is one way to bring people to this recognition of the truth, that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events,” Johnson said in a 2021 interview with Ark Encounter founder Ken Ham while guest-hosting the radio showof Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, an evangelical activist group.​

An ark replica with dinosaurs "is one way to bring people to this recognition ... that what we read in the Bible are actual historical events,” Mike Johnson said.

I think you're confused. He said the previous Speaker is 6000 years old.

I was being facetious. Damn.

The "wild beasts of the field" must start drooling when they see you coming from a mile away.

Noah’s Flood or Millions of Years, It Can’t Be Both​

Either the rock record is the evidence of millions of years, or it is largely the evidence of Noah’s Flood. It can’t be both. If we believe the earth is billions of years old and shows no sign of a worldwide Flood, then that belief contradicts the biblical account of Noah. If we accept God’s testimony regarding the Flood, we cannot logically believe in millions of years.

If you pay attention to scriptures, then why do people not pay any attention to how they are acquiring HIV/AIDS. And it is the government that is reinforcing the conditions that cause it. Showing endless commercials on medications while promoting its ways. There is nothing wrong with some yardstick on telling us how humans acto out.

I wouldn't advertise such foolishness if I really believed the world was only 6,000 years old. Plus I wouldn't pretend to believe in such nonsense just to go along with a religious belief. It just proves how foolish religion is in the first place.

You've lost your faith in your church's dumpster, satanist!

There are other schools of thought on the subject with in Christianity.

 

[Seymour Flops]

He believes that as part of his religion.

Just as people believe a man was created out of dust, and a woman out of him, and that the literal son of God came to Earth via a virgin birth, and rose from the dead after being executed on the cross.

I defy any elected Democrat to state that they KNOW none of that ever happened.

I was raised in a Catholic household. I started to realize religion was very stupid when I was 7 years old. By the time I was twelve I knew it was all bunk. Spirituality does exist and for good reasons. It's unfortunate religion utilizes everyone's innate spirituality to promote their religions upon us.

Not one person can promote anything onto you, we can tell you what we believe.

Correct , a belief system based on truth would not have any variations. That is another reason why all religion is false belief.

 

[lg325]

Speculation on meanings in the belief system may be causing the variations and confusions. There maybe one truth but people become confused by the speculation in not just religion but science as well.

Shouldn't that advice be directed at the OP?

I don't see how it pertains to my post?
