According to the bible, afaik, the Earth is only 8000 years old. I have a hard time believing this.
Gotcha, Krazi, you are wrong. Per Archbishop Ussher the Earth was created on or around 6 pm on 22 October 4004 BC according to the proleptic Julian calendar. That's not 8000 years by my count.
What a strange thread this has become.
