Question: 65,000,000 years ago!? That seems a bit steep!.
They say Dinosaurs walked the earth 65,000,000 years ago!. Is the earth really that old!?!? I am also confused about the time line!. If Jesus died 2,000 years ago, how long were people on the earth before that!? And if it was so long, than shouldn't we be worried!? If people were on this earth millions of years ago then it took them pretty damn long to figure stuff out!. And in the past 20 years we have gone in full speed ahead, so does that mean the end is near!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ain't nothin more than 10!.000 years old!. Trying to date something older than that is a guess based on assumptions that often turn out to be false!. Carbon dating assumes that things have always been the way they are today!. If you believe the word of the Holy Bible you cannot discount the first few lines of Genesis!. If God's Word says he spoke everything into existence in six 24-hour days than that's the way it is!. Believe in a God outside the limits of man's imagination!. Believe in a God big enough to speak everything into existence!. Believe in a God that created the concept of time to mark off the days until this world ends!. The longer the Bible is studied the more the people, places, and events depicted turn out to factual!. Our world was a much different place before The Flood!. People routinely lived for several hundred years!. Reptiles and fish continue to grow throughout their lives!. Dinosaurs are just very old lizards!. Please don't believe that it rained on the rocks and the rocks came alive and walked out of the water!. Which one's the fairy tale!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

What are you talking about!?

Dinosaurs DIED 65,000,000 years ago!. They were walking the Earth for more than 100 million years before that!

Homo Sapien Sapien is around 100,000 years old!. I think we have been moving along fine!.

It takes a long time to figure things out without computers!. Someone had to INVENT the wheel remember!.

Things are easier now, since we have the capability to create things so much faster!.

Sure you could probably go out into the wilderness and make a Clovis point and spear!. But that is only because you already know about them!. Someone had to think about them and then create them!. That took awhile!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The story of jesus and the story of the earth conflict eachother, according to creationists the earth is no where near that old and was made by god, so its perfect, despite the fact that due to some manufacturing faults earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur!. But according to evolutionists the earth is really old, and has developed and evolved, and eventually will end, but at the rate the ice caps are melting and countries are getting smaller, we'll be long gone before earth's goneWww@QuestionHome@Com

To answer your question!.!.!.
the earth is approximately 4!.6 billion years old!.
life arose maybe 4 billion years ago - however, it was not life as we know it!. For one thing, there was no oxygen!.
about 3 billion years ago, photo-synthesis developed!. This started the production of Oxygen!.
about 1!.1 billion years ago, the forms of life we know had split off and become animal, vegetable and fungi!.
The dinosaurs came to dominance at about 200 million years ago!. The first birds lived about 150 million years ago!. The Dinosaurs died out about 65 million years ago!.
One of our common ancestors lived about 6 million years ago!. It was not human!.
Genus Homo appeared 2 million years ago!.
Homo Erectus appeared 790,000 years ago (or possibly 1!.5 million years ago)!.
Between 200,000 and 160,000 years ago, Homo Sapiens appeared!.
Since then, Homo Sapiens has spread to become the dominant lifeform on earth!.

I will leave you to do the maths re Jesus!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know I will get a thumbs down here, but you should not trust the religious nuts on this one, the Earth is MILLIONS and Millions of years old, not 6000 years as the Philosophers of the Bible tell you!.

This can be proved Scientifically, through the fossil and rock levels and geological things like that!.

if you want to know specifics you should check out the book "The Penguin History of the World" by J!.M!. Roberts!.*Www@QuestionHome@Com

if we studied science and teck!. we would be much more advanced!. you see poeple are afraid of change for one, always just happy with what they have!. and we had a small episode in time that was called the dark ages, witch hunt's, blocked stem cell research, Man thought the moon was made of cheese, went there found out it was'nt and we have'nt been back for over 40 years!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
