Originally posted by Bosse de NageBut this line of Usscher and his 6000 years has nothing to do with weather the Earth is flat because the bible says it, or if it is flat of any other reason.
No, but he can see that an indefinite period of time may have elapsed between those two verses, enabling him to dispute the figure of 6000 years without recourse to science. You can see that, can't you?
The title 'Primate' always makes me laugh.
If some people stating that the universe is 10 000 of years, as KellyJay believes (yes he said so, believe it or not!), because the bible says so, then they would believe that the Earth is flat, because the bible says so.
If some (anti-)science methods are use to prove the Young Earth theories, then why aren't (anti-)science methods used to prove the Earth is flat?
Simple question, simple answer: Because it is not! And every sound thinking person of the world agrees with me!
