What religion do you want to talk about.I was a geology major so I see things on that time scale.I do understand your question.It comes from the first book of the Tora.If a person reads it and assumes a few things he can come up with that number.Its not what it says.You see it only says "in the beginning" it does not say when that was.Now if you read most english bibles say it was void and without form.The problem is the word was.Let me give an example-I saw Nagasaki and it was void and without form.Ya see it had become that way not created that way.I dont do 6000 years.
God tells us in the very first verse and hte earth was without form and void. IF it became without form and void, then Adam and Eve became naked because the same word is used to describe both. They weren't created naked. Also Satan became the craftiest of the creatures becaue he was not created that way. The Word actually is quite simple if one does not try to apply a bunch of 18th and 19th century theories.
There is a little tid-bit that The Creator God wrote with His Own finger in stone about the creation. He came to Moses and wrote that He created Heaven and earth and the sea and everything in them in six days and rested on the seventh day. Therefore they were to work for six days and rest on the seventh day.
How is it that so many don't believe God is able to communicate?
