Bible | Is Earth 6000 Years Old?
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth [Genesis 1:1]
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them [Genesis 1:27]

The Bible provides a timeline stating the first day of creation of Earth and Heavens which dates back to 4000 B.C. This refers to formation of Earth before 4000 years of Jesus's birth. This is so not true as today's science states that earth is more than 32.5 billion years ago. If God created man and earth in the begining then from where we get remains of dinosaur which existed 230 to 63 million years ago.?

1- The First Human Community
2- What About Fossil Fuels?
3- What About Mayans?
4- Responses To Christians

1- The First Human Community
According to scientific sources the first human community lived nearly half a million years ago. Some early human communities include:
Homo line include Homo habilis which lived ~ 2.5 million years ago,
And Homo erectus which lived ~ 1.8 million years ago.
Thus, the first humans appeared nearly half a million years ago. Who they were and what they did represents a large field of study, pursued by Archaeologists, Anthropologists and Evolutionary Biologists.

There had been human communities before 4000 B.C. One was near Israel
"University of Connecticut (UC) scientists working at a 12,000 year-old archeological site in Israel say they have evidence that ancient feasts to celebrate the burial of the dead brought about the world's first established communities. UC anthropologist Natalie Munro and co-workers found clear evidence of feasting at the ancient Hilazon Tachtit Cave burial site near Karmiel, Israel. Unusually high densities of butchered tortoise and wild cattle led them to conclude that the Natufian community members who lived in the area at the time gathered at the site for special rituals to commemorate the burial of the dead, and that feasts were central elements. The Natufian people occupied the area around Karmiel, near the Mediterranean Sea some 14,500 to 11,500 years ago."

2- What About Fossil Fuels?
Fossil fuels are resources which include petrol, gas, etc. They take thousands of years to form and are made through process of decompostion. If Earth and everything in it was created before 6002 years how had fossil fuels formed so quickly?
Is Science wrong or Bible?
Fossil fuels are fuels formed by natural processes such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms. The age of the organisms and their resulting fossil fuels is typically millions of years, and sometimes exceeds 650 million years
[Paul Mann, Lisa Gahagan, and Mark B. Gordon, "Tectonic setting of the world's giant oil and gas fields," in Michel T. Halbouty (ed.) Giant Oil and Gas Fields of the Decade, 1990–1999, Tulsa, Okla.: American Association of Petroleum Geologists, p.50, accessed 22 June 2009.]

3- What About Mayans?
Bible give clear accounts about 2000 B.C. Mayans were people living in Mexico in 2000 B.C from 650 Ad. How did they reached there ? Why Bible doesn't provide any evidence for the Mayans? Did someone seperated them form timeline?
Or someone omitted it from Bible timeline or Biblical God was not willing to talk about such advanced people?
It is to be noted that Noah's flood come in 3000 B.C and Mayans lived in 2000 B.C.

4- Responses To Christians
Christians present following statements to support thier argument.
A- The Bible doesn't say that the earth is 6000 years old. The Genesis creation account reveals a "re-creation" [a refurbishing] of the earth, because something destroyed it and made it "without form and void."
B- Genesis 1:27 states that life on earth was created before 6002 years ago this doesn't mean that earth was created before 6002 years

Argument 1:
None of the matters doesn't hold strong support to prove that earth is 6002 years old . If the earth was destroyed by something this would have cause many changes in solar system. If there was Earth and it got destroyed by something then what about the Earth's Moon and Sun? Were they destroyed too?
However, if we accept the first argument that earth was destroyed and was re-created by God then how does fossil fuels took place in it?
Did God created it?
Eventually fossil fuels takes more than 4000 years time to form and decompose.

Argument 2:
Was the life in earth came into existence just before 6002 years? Was the first human created 6002 years ago?
However second argument is worthless Bible clearly states that Earth was created 6002 years ago
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" [Genesis 1:1]
This contradicts science again. Humans were living on earth more then million years ago such as Homo habilis which lived 2.5 million years ago. The remains of society existed more then 4000 years ago which we found today were too created by God or are Archaeologist making a fraud?
The picture below shows that before 4000 B.C God created Man, Heavens and the Earth.

Following question was received by me by Anonymous
Q. Please clarify. I did not find Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:27 speaking about 6002 years. Please clarify on the topic that where does it say the timespan of 6002 or so years? I'm not arguing, but I want to know

Ans. Assalam O Alikum Brother. Bible states that before the arrival of Jesus there were 4000 years only that is 4000 BC [See Pic Below taken from Online Bible http://bible.cc/]. Today we are living in AD that is years after arrival of Jesus and it have been 2013 years now. So 4000BC + 2013AD makes up 6013 years. This states that the human life on earth and earth itself is 6013 years old. It is clearly stated by Online Bible site "4000BC- God created THE EARTH AND MAN". In Conclusion we see

1- 4000 years before arrival of Jesus
2- 2013 years after coming of Jesus makes up to 6013 years in total.
Hope this help
