Q: What if something proved the earth was older than 6,000 years old, would you still believe in god etc.
Ken Ham: It is impossible to prove the age of the Earth.

Considering the age of the Earth or the universe is completely and totally irrelevant to belief in the Bible or any kind of individual deity or pantheon of deities.....
-
Not really seeing as the bible says earth is 6000 years old...
-
You will not find that anywhere in the Bible no matter how hard you look. It does not say anything at all about the age of the Earth one way or the other.
-
did you watch the nye vs ham debate? despite the fact that ham was retarded and got roflstomped by bill nye, im absolutely sure he knows more about the bible than you do, seeing as he studies it for a living.
-
Ken Ham and his associates in AiG or their supporters are pretty much the [i]only[/i] people I have ever seen regularly endorsing the assertion that the Earth is only 6,000 years old. No one else supports that claim because it's not actually in there, it's something relatively unique to Ken Ham and AiG. It doesn't matter what Ken Ham says about the age of the Earth though, because he's trying to back up a claim that isn't there, he can try to use the Bible to back up "the Earth and everything else is only 6,000 years old" but you will never find that or any other age given for the universe in the Bible.
-
Alright, then you believe that humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time
-
It doesn't say that anywhere.
-
You're an idiot
-
You sound like you read it.

I would rather eat dog shit

Except they weren't debating if there was a god. They were debating Ken Ham's creationism model that suggest the world was created in 6 24-hour days.
-
That's not Ken Ham's interpretation, that's what the Bible says, 6 literal 24-hour days as the whole entire span of the creation process. Which still doesn't have any bearing on 6,000 years vs trillions, upon billions, upon millions of years. The claim of "the Earth is only 6,000 years old" [i]is[/i] something that's, definitely not unique to but is certainly one of the defining cornerstones of Ken Ham's beliefs, but that isn't something that's actually in the Bible or even one of the central beliefs of Christianity. There wasn't any one thing that the debate was about, it was covering a range of different subjects from all across the spectrum of both Evolutionary and Christian belief systems.

Most other versions I've read though imply it's only thousands of years old, tracing down the lineage from adam and eve and how long those people lived.

The official debate topic was "Is creation a viable model of Origins in today's modern scientific era?"
