Just looked it up and 5,700 to 10,000 years came up.
Now I guess the argument is that god created it, exactly as said in the bible, could be true. But i do have a problem with that shorter time. The cynic might say it is not enough to make a pebble, or 5mm of the grand canyon. I do think these creationist struggle with concepts of time.
But if it is true, to my maths that is just 200 - 300 generations (30 years a generation). What I wonder - even if you take the bible as complete truth, is it possible to get from adam to moses to Jesus in that time - 300 generations?
any ideas?
