The scripture is inspired of GOD. Every word is fact. GOD created all things. Time has not changed. GOD has not changed. GOD created in six twenty four hour days. If you want to know how old the earth is, GOD made man from the dust of the ground on day six.Recorded history, scripture, from that time will give you it`s age. Approximately four thousand years from Adam to CHRIST, The LORD. It has been about two thousand years since JESUS was on the earth finishing the work of GOD. Ideas of depraved man are foolish. GOD, and only GOD is true.
