  Is Bible chronology true?

  by Fisherman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  according to jw interpretation of bible chronology, the earliest human, adam, came into existence some 6,048 years ago compared to scientific dating of human fossils believed to be much older.

  since jesus validated the creation of adam and eve as historical people and jc’s own lineage is traced all the way back to adam, bible chronology is certified as true and there must be something wrong with scientific dating.

  what proves scientific dating as accurate that humans are much older than what bible chronology says?.

  There is no proof that scientific dating debunks Bible chronology.

  59,700 scientific articles explaining why radiometric dating is accurate.

  164,000 scientific articles explaining how sedimentary rocks are dated

  56,400 scientific articles describing how fossils are dated

  134,000 scientific articles describing different radiometric techniques

  77,500 scientific articles describing how and why radiometric dating can give false results

  Where are your half a million papers showing bible chronology is reliable?

  Bible chronology is certified as true...

  THIS IS begging the question. You have all your work ahead of you to show that 'bible chronology' is anything more than the ravings of Iron Age drug addicts.

  Fishy are you familiar with the logical fallacy called ' begging the question '?

  JWs should be challenged on why they don't believe the earth is flat. It seems inconsistent of them

  I agree. The bible presents a flat earth cosmology. Why do they reject it?

  Myself and many others are not convinced

  But I don't care. I'm not the one trying to sell BS.

  Study the books or don't - your choice.

  I find it interesting that after the cult people still hold on to religion....

  im not an atheist, makes no mathematical sense, nor does the buy(more) bull(shit) god make any logical sense... maybe a deist on my best day, in the end you cannot get something from nothing, paradox if you ask me... but in reality i just dont care.

  while in, and moving out of the cult, its like a roller coaster, emotionally, yet, for me, over time, i just take it one day at a time, and if appeasing some special deity is required, well i guess i failed.

  lol.

  Arrogance in equal measure with ignorance.

  Let's say for the sake or argument that atheists have no idea how to account for anything at all.

  You still have all of your work ahead of you to show that an unscientific, ahistorical, contradictory, morally repugnant Iron Age book has anything interesting to say let alone the proposition that we ought to organise our lives around its ramblings.

  Multiple lines of evidence based on an astonishing number of interconnecting fields of science prove beyond ALL doubt that modern humans have lived on earth for over 100,000 years.

  To claim that the human race only goes back 6,000 years is every bit as risible as flat earth.

  I and others have presented scientific evidence on this many times. Go read a book!

  You have more patience than me Jeffro.

  You know the evidence for Christianity is tenuous when apologists resort to such sophistry.
