We have evidence to contradict this claim. Evidence in the form of archaeological findings - artifacts that go back hundreds of thousands of years. These artifacts have been carbon dated and prove that the earth is much, much older than 6000 years.
So, you can look at facts based on scientific and archaeological data, or you can keep looking in a book of literary works, which has supposedly been translated from copies of copies of copies of manuscripts for which there is no evidence even exists, and decide for yourself.
1. Show in the Bible where it states the earth is 6000 years old.
2. Carbon dating is only reliable up to around 50,000 years.
Obviously the it's not going to say that in the bible, considering when it was supposedly written.
Even if that's the case with carbon dating, there are other scientific methods that go beyond carbon dating. I just wasn't aware of what they were at the time I wrote that.
