    Just listened to a program that presented explanatory postulation of cosmic evolution, and there are certain understandings of progression back to about three and a half billion years ago, and beyond that current scientific framework starts to loose it.

    Funny how jws believe the culmination of everything is focused on "them in their lifetime" - quite a study in evolution in itself.

    For the jws - that's 3700000000 years of projection of framed understanding, not inclusive of the so far unframed - the end is just around the corner, any moment now.

    Universe is 14.5~ billion years old.

    The Earth is 4.5~ billion years old.

    Human agriculture/civilization started 6000 years ago.

    Before that humans were hunters and gatherers living in bands and tribes.

    From what I understand, through my mom, the Witnesses believe humans have only been on Earth for 6000 years.

    At the moment I had to agree with her because I'm "under cover."

    So I didn't go into detail with the fossil records of Homo sapien neandertalis or Homo erectus, which have been dated older than 6000 years. Also I don't think she would understand how we date stuff whether it be carbon dating or ELS dating.
