I'll ask again, where does it say in Genesis that the universe is 13.7billion~ years old?

Have you ever read Genesis? I didn't see that part written down, so could you point me to the biblical reference please?

Most of us have read it many times and are far better versed in the scriptures of your holy book. Sorry, your interpretation is just your own wishful apologetics. It is not remotely legitimate and there are likely a half-billion other Christians who would call you a blasphemous heretic.

He is a blasphemous heretic unless he can cite where in the bible it says that the universe is 13.7billion years old and wasn't created in 6 days like it says in genesis.

In other words after God created perfectly over 13.7 billion years (Gen. 1.1), the sin of the inhabitants of earth's earliest ages sinned so much, He had to make it desolate and waste (v.2), killing off the dinosuars. But then He restored it summed up by the 6 twenty-four literal days.

That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.

Nice try though.

There is no proof that the NT was completed by AD 70. All that can be claimed is that Christians existen in Rome by AD 70; not the same thing at all.

I don't find any conflict with Gen. 1, evolution and the universe 13.7 billion years old. What were you thinking?

Actually, the universe is only 50 years old, cause I'm uncreated and shit. It says so in the bible. I just made it look older because who would follow a 50 year old god who couldn't cover her tracks? Yeah, that's the ticket.
