Science puts the age of the earth at 4.543 billion years !
I wonder why it took the human race, which according to science our ancestors have been around for about six million years, the modern form of humans only evolved about 200,000 years ago, such a long time to CREATE modern day God !!!

Of course a myriad of Gods have come and gone, I wonder how long before the current one goes and who will replace him I hereby nominate ....GR
THE BIBLE IS CLEAR THAT ADAM, THE FIRST MAN, LIVED ONLY 6000 YEARS AGO. God created Adam directly from the earth on the sixth day of Creation Week. There was no evolution involved. So according to the Bible, the earth must be 6000 years old.

Answering to Maximus, I am not an atheist, I am an agnostic, I recognize my inability to understand what we call God, as GR very well defined it as the "source of everything" because it simply contradicts to the human logic that everything must have a source.
I also have a moral code not because any religion told me so, but because it makes me feel bad when I hurt other people for no reason -or likewise been hurt myself.
One rather philosophical explanation is that nothingness or zero cannot exist. Maths also agree that zero is a byproduct of a +ve and -ve and doesn't exist by itself. Therefore either we live in a dream-a nothing,or we live in a byproduct of zero.
The big Bang theory for the creation of the Universe agrees to this, it basically says that it started from a unit that split into matter and antimatter (antimatter's electrons have a +ve charge). So there should be at least 2 parallel universes, which eventually will return back to zero.
