Whenever I hear some one swearing on a bible, I have an inner chuckle. The person is swearing on a book that says the earth is 6000 years old, that says the 1st woman was made from a rib, that snakes can talk, that a man lived in the belly of a whale, that the whole earth was once flooded, that Jesus was born from a virgin, etc. In other words, people are swearing to tell the truth on a book packed full of lies.

Originally posted by 667joeyes but you are talking about the age of the earth, not the creation of humans, that is something entirely different, so where does it say that the earth is six thousand years old? shall i answer that for you Joe?
Perhaps I should have said as the bible infers. Scholars using genealogy laid out in the bible trace the time line back to Adam and Eve and say it goes back 6000 years.

Matthew 5:33-37
33“Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.’ 34But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God’s throne; 35or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37Simply let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

Sometimes its metaphoric and other times its literal...

Do you think you know more about this than him? That you are a better christian? He did extensive research about the chronology adn work backwards in time, using bible as his source. Do you think the bible is wrong?
Shame...
