Age of the Earth

Age of the earth. There's proof the earth is much older than what the Bible documents.  We know Jesus existed around 2,000 years ago.  In Genesis 4, it shows the genealogy from Adam and Eve to Judah.  In Matthew 1:1, it shows the genealogy from Judah to Jesus Christ (Actually, all the way back to Abraham so the information overlaps).  Using the ages listed in Genesis, it is exactly 2,106 years from the creation of the earth to the birth of Jacob  (or Israel after his name change).

According to Matthew 1, there are 38 more generations until the birth of Jesus Christ representing no more than 3,800 years (Genesis 17:17 says “Abraham fell facedown; he laughed and said to himself, "Will a son be born to a man a hundred years old? Will Sarah bear a child at the age of ninety?   Genesis 21:1 - Now the LORD was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did for Sarah what he had promised.  Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him. Abraham gave the name Isaac to the son Sarah bore him. "  This took divine intervention to have children so old so I used the maximum of 100 years in the calculation assuming this divine intervention did not happen with every childbirth since Issac.  Adding everything up, the earth is less than 7,906 years old according to the Bible.  In Genesis 1:1, it claims the earth and the universe were created on the same day.

The Bible does not mention Dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago because the ancients didn't know about them.  Even if they discovered the bones, they wouldn't have thought about what kind of animal it was and would have just disposed of the bones.  Science says the universe is 15 billion years old and our solar system is 4.5 billion years old.  We can determine some of this with radio-active carbon dating. 

A star from the center of the Milky Way galaxy is 30,000 light years from us, and the nearest galaxy is 2 million light years away.  This means the light from these stars take 30,000 and 2 million years to reach us.  If the earth is only 7,906 years old as the Bible claims, the light from these stars would not have reached us yet and we would not know of their existence but we can see them.
