Well, being as the universe is over 13 billion years old, He'd have had plenty of time for deciding where to put the garden, the tree . . . and the snake.

Err... how about the shed?

And can we please leave the snake out of this? :o/

So one the 7th day He wasn't resting after all . . . He was building a shed?

A wood shed no doubt . . . the one my dad would take me out to.

Could well have been that one. Every chance, I'd say.

mibn2cweus

Well maybe one just like it. It did look about 6000 years old though . . . at the time.

mibn2cweus

. . . and the board he used that was in it couldn't have been much younger!

I wonder if it was the same board . . . umm? Nevermind.

Bishop Ussher did the maths and worked out that the world was about 6000 years old. I'm not sure that's still the view of the Anglican Church, though.

6000 earth years ago or 6000 god years ago?

mibn2cweus

6000 ~ 600000000 . . . what's a few zeros compared to that which created them? Or am I missing something? ;o)

^^ I meant that in the garden shed, tool kind of variety.....

Oops... I think I'm digging myself in deeper here. Better shut up.

mibn2cweus

If you've got one to spare . . . I wouldn't complain. :o)

Only one potential Young Earth Creationist then?

sandyRoe, you do Bishop Ussher an injustice. He didn't give such a vague time for the creation. He said it was on the midnight preceding Sunday October 23 4004 BC. Do get these importaant dates right, otherwise where would theism be?

I wonder how he worked that out?

Ankou

he used lots of sources and various calendars and kepplers tables, put two and two together to make midnight.

he then had a rethink and put three and three together and changed it to 6pm.

i imagine he was sponsored by accurist.

mibn2cweus

Consolation prize. Can't say, "I didn't see that one coming."

Still . . . no complaints! :o)
