Support or refute the following statement using 2-5 sentences:

The earth formed 4.6 billion years ago.

Also, reply to at least one of your classmates (you can use the "quote" feature to show their original response).  The goal is to start some discussions.  
Be appropriate.

The earth wasn't formed 4.6 billion years ago. That's not what my beliefs say. Like I said in my introductory post, my principles are more important than my money. And this is my principle: I follow my religion. So the earth is not 4.6 billion years old.

I don't think that the Earth was created 4.6 billion years ago. I don't show it to much, but I am a Christian. I believe that God made everything.

Well, I don't know if it was that long ago but yes, that sounds about right. Back when Terra was born of course. Though there was nothing but Chaos for a while, then through him, he created Terra and Caelus, Earth and Heavens respectively. We don't really know exactly how old Terra is, but considering she was created long before Prometheus created humans, 4.6 billion does not seem too far off.

I disagree with this statement as I am a very strong Roman Catholic, and I believe that the Earth was created by God and that is all that matters. I believe that man will not ever truly know when the Earth was formed, God is the creator but we are sub-creators. In this I mean that God has created this world but we can create our own, like my Middle Earth, but in a way they will always be fashioned after this one.

 That is an interesting belief of yours, Nero. It reminds me of the maker of Middle Earth that I created, Illuvatar and the Valar which were like sub-rulers of Middle Earth. In a way my belief of God and your belief of Terra are similar because no one created them they just were.

 How old do you think the Earth is if isn't quite 4.6 billion years ago? I just don't think that it would be that long of a time for the Earth to get where it is now. It just doesn't make sense.

I do believe that the earth formed 4.6 billion years ago. I shan't make public my beliefs, 'tis not such a thing many people know of myself. Thou may believe I am catholic, but thou doth not live in my times. In England during my times, all kinsfolk are protestant by law. Some evidence suggests I am catholic. However, I shall never tell thee of my beliefs, for if I am catholic, my being catholic shall get myself killed. I will tell thee, however, that even if I am catholic, I am not devout enough to disregard such statements with backed evidence. Thou shalt know, I believe the earth formed 4.6 billion years ago.

I don't believe that the Earth is 4.6 billion years old. When my father left me and my mother when I was 3, she took me to church a whole lot more, so in my belief of God and that he created the heavens and the earth and everything else, I say no... The Earth is not 4.6 billion years old.

  To be perfectly honest, I have no idea (You do not know how much it pains me to admit that). The Gods wished not reveal to us, petty mortals, that knowledge. She could be billions of years old, yes, but she could be no more than a few thousand. However it must have taken a good while for Earth to get where it is now, countering your statement earlier. Though Terra is the Earth, it wasn't until later that Orea and Pantus formed the sea and mountains. Even after that, the world was not truly finished. It was not an overnight task, or week long task I think as your kind would put it.

I do not think that the Earth was formed 4.6 billion of years ago. I may be private about my religion(Roman Catholic) for I do not pray to God before my matches and after matches, but I believe that Earth was created by God. He created the heavens, seas, and land. God created Earth.

 I agree with your statement. I too am Roman Catholic, but not as strong. God is the creator of Earth. I see that we share some similarities Mr. Tolkien; I hope to learn more about you over the next couple of days.

I believe that the Earth was created 4.6 billion years ago. I also believe that God created the Earth because I am a Christian and in Genesis 1:1 of the Bible it states "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth". Even though I believe this statement, this verse does not indicate  how long ago the Earth was created. The Bible does not give any hard evidence that the Earth was created a specific number of years ago. This leads me to believe that because of evidence, Earth is 4.6 billion years old but God did create the Earth according to the beliefs of my religion.

I disagree with this statement. I am a Lutheran, and I believe that God created all things in the universe and life, was created by Him. Its dimensions of space and time are not something God made and then left alone. Life was created in 6 days, in He is in our lives, and creating life daily.

                I agree, Adele.

 I am confused by your statement Roger. You are stating who you think CREATED Earth, not how old it is. In the Bible, it does not have a single verse that can give evidence as to the Earth's age. Even though theology has rebutted the statement that Earth is billions of years old by stating that if you add up all the dates in the Bible you will get about 4,000 years, many times in the Bible it refers to days as being different lengths than we are used to. Just take 2 Peter 3:8 when it states  “that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day". This statement means that time means nothing to God and God is not locked into time or space. I do believe that God created the Earth but that belief has nothing to do with how old Earth is. If you are going to say that Earth is not 4.6 billion years old, there has to be evidence as to why your religion thinks that Earth's age is not correct according to science.

I'm glad you said this Ms. Jenner. You have to put it in context. it says,"But do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the LORD one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day. To The LORD, one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like one day. It's not to us. See Ms. Jenner to read the bible, you must have a mind that doesn't let the words just flow in and flow it, it has to sink, sink deep inside your head.The exact time spans chosen ('one day' and 'a thousand years') are immaterial and symbolic of short and long periods in this context, making the point that God transcends time. In other words, He does not experience it in a linear fashion as we do, but is able to interact with time as He chooses.

My fellow passengers,

    I do not believe that the Earth is 4.6 billion years old. Even though modern people don't know much about my animistic religion, I am absolutely sure that the Earth is young. Since science was not as advanced back in my day, there is no way that I could have believed in it because I had never heard about radiometric dating. Even if I had, I would not and do not believe in it because it was not widespread at the time.  I believe that Köke Möngke Tngri is the leader of the other 99 heavenly beings, and that he has created all visible and invisible things, and that it was most certainly NOT 4.6 billion years ago. Those are my beliefs, and since even a bloodthirsty person like me can tolerate other people's beliefs, I think I deserve some respect from others. Thank you for letting me put my two tögrögs in, as religion can be a touchy subject in the modern world.


    Best wishes to all of my beloved servants,
                      Genghis Khan

 Muhammad Ali,
    I am glad that we agree on this matter. It is a good thing to agree. The places where we disagree, though, may be a little rougher to handle. I do not intend at all to be frank in my reply. You are a Muslim, this I know. I have dealt with many Muslims in my day, and not once have I been disrespectful to their religion. However, it is my principles that conflict with yours. After all, my definition of happiness goes as follows: "The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemies, to chaste them before you, to rob them of their wealth, to see those dear to them bathed in tears, to clasp to your bosom their wives and daughters." You say that your principles are more important than your money. I do not at all disrespect this belief. However, for me, my principles in a sense, ARE my money, so it is difficult to separate the two. I am sorry and greatly apologize if I was disrespectful in any way in this post. It is my duty to make my subjects happy, and you are just like many of them.

Yours truly,
          Genghis Khan

In my opinion, I don't think that the Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago. Although I don't talk about or mention my religion very often if ever, I am Christian. So, I believe that God created the universe and Earth. In Genesis 1:27, it states, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Because God created man, the Earth couldn't possibly be 4.6 billion years old, like what scientists have theorized, and they've theorized that with the help of fossils of dinosaurs and other organisms that came before humans were in existence. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the Bible does not mention God creating dinosaurs. If the Earth were 4.6 billion years old and because God created man, then wouldn't there also be 4.6 billion years worth of history that we humans have created or evidence that humans existed for all of those years? Therefore, the Earth must be younger than that age. Although all of you lovelies may have differing opinions, these are just my beliefs and what I think.Thanks a ton for reading what I had to say about this topic!

I am not the average christian. I do not refer to myself as the technical christian and do not go to church often. I do not believe however that the earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago. I do believe in divine origins, but do not hold strong opinions to the matter. My dear friends. I see many of you do not believe the the earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago. This statement stands true and I agree with it.

                   I do agree with you my dear Taylor. I see how you managed to strongly withhold your belief and stated, "In Genesis 1:27, it states, 'So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.' Because God created man, the Earth couldn't possibly be 4.6 billion years old." Scientists strongly believe what they believe. Even if they believe what you believe, their job calls them to try and support the belief of science. I agree with you 100% Darling. By the Way I am a big fan of the song of yours 'Shake It Off.'

Just to get this out of the way, I absolutely love your profile picture because it's sincerely fabulous and inspirational. Anyways, I disagree with your belief that Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago, but do respect your opinion and will not shine negativity on it. However, I believe that Earth was not created 4.6 billion years ago, and I am Christian as well. Don't you think that if the Earth were 4.6 billion years old and since God created man, that there would be 4.6 billion years worth of history or at least some bit of evidence that man has lived for that long? I do see where you're coming from though.

 The Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago. Science has become more precise over time, and any scientific discoveries made in recent times must be true. Furthermore, my religious views do not impede my strong belief in science. During my youth from about eleven to thirteen years of age, my extra time was devoted to learning more about God. I studied the whole Bible with diligence and was filled with hope. Shortly after this period of my life, I discovered the remarkable world of science. I devoted all my time to understanding more about the world around me. I began to question the miraculous events documented in the Bible; my understanding of natural phenomenon contradicted my belief in the parting of the Red Sea, the creation of the Earth, and the turning of water into wine. None of these events could have happened because of the rules of science. I quickly grew away from my childish primitive beliefs in the Bible. All of the miraculous events in the Bible are documented because people need something to bring them hope. My belief of God being a part of the universe dictates that he created the universe as a puzzle for us to figure out, but this belief didn’t focus on when the universe was created. I believe that the Earth must have been formed 4.6 billion years ago, but God set up the laws of the universe, how things occur.

As of now that is a widely accepted number and I do not see many reasons someone would refute this idea, especially when there is so much evidence to back it up. As a Jew, it is written in the Torah that the divine being, God, created all things. I believe that God may have created the Earth 4.6 billion years ago, but as a man that is daily receiving opinions from others in my occupation, I am willing to reconsider. As generations progress along with technology it is a great possibility that the number will change, but as of now this is the number with the most evidence surrounding it, therefore I see no reason as to go against it.

Dear Mr. Muhammad Ali,

I too have a strong belief in the upholding of principles and ethics, but the idea that God created the Earth simply for his interest in humanity is illogical. As I have said before, God doesn't play dice with humanity. He is more divulged in the laws of the universe as he wants us to discover them. The idea that something was created out of nothing is far more illogical than the idea that something was created out of something and God set up the laws for the something to follow.

I long ago gave up my faith in things like God when my sister died when I was just a little girl. I look at things from a scientific stand point and from that stand point I must believe the earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago, anything else is illogical.

 Just because that's what your religion states does not mean you need to blindly follow it. Indirectly, you are just following the teachings that someone established, unless the time of Earth's formation is blatantly written in your holy text. Your religion is your only reason, but what may I ask is the relevance of all of the evidence geological experts have repeatedly analysed? Though you state that the Earth was not created 4.6 billion years ago, you give no other number or time period to show that the Earth was created during another time. Every man is entitled to their own opinion ( something I have repeatedly leaned through my filming career), but I would personally like to known more about when exactly you believe Earth was formed if it wasn't formed around 4.6 billion years ago.

I disagree with you Dr. sues. You say that the earth wasn't created 4.6 billion years ago and that God made earth in six days, but there is scientific proof that disputes that. How could God put humans on the earth within a span of six days when it took millions of years after the earth was formed for humans to even show up.

Although I am more spiritual than religious, I do not believe that the earth is 4.6 billion years old. I believe in divine origins, and I do see the creation of Earth from a religious stand point. Even though my religious beliefs were stronger when I was younger, I still believe God created everything.

As someone who is a realist, I rely on what has the most evidence to guide my belief. Evidence in this time has shown that the earth was indeed formed 4.6 million years ago. This statement could be proven wrong though, if new evidence should ever arise. I believe what is most plausible, and at the moment, this would seem to be what is.

I do not believe that the earth is 4.6 billion years old. In fact, I believe that time is not limited, I believe in reincarnation. Although I have believed in God when I was younger, I changed my view of religion when I was 26.

To Albert Einstein,

 

Thy comments art most sensible. I stand with thee on religious aspects of life. 'Tis God that knows the universe and hath left it for fellow humans to uncover, but evidence shan't be refuted. I concur that 'tis important to believe in a divine being for hope and strength in times without such things, but one mustn't ever stray from realities that art easily proven true. I believe 'tis best to believe in thy religion yet not let it control thy actions and life. 'Tis why my works often do not contain religious allusions and such.

To Albert Einstein, 

I wholeheartedly agree with your statement. I believe that there may be a God out there somewhere, but it is impossible to refute the concrete evidence that has been shown to us through science.

     As a Christian, I do not believe the Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago. I am known for singing gospel and visiting the church as a child, although both my wife and daughter joined the Church of Scientology. However, I have my doubts. I always have my nose in a book and am constantly trying to learn more about all religions to better understand myself, and the world around me.

Even though you are a man who works Winston Churchill, I disagree with your belief. I do not think you would need evidence to guide your belief because you could live on earth with a long experience with many lives. So I would have to disagree with you on your belief Winston Churchill.

Hello again peasants,

I'm not really sure about when the Earth was formed. I'm not an extremely religious person, but I wouldn't call myself an atheist. I'm surrounded by large amounts of Buddhists in China, as a sizeable portion of the population follow that relgion. There have been phases in my life where I partially included myself in that religion, and the origin of life is considered one of the fourteen unanswerable questions that Buddha deemed counterproductive. Overall, I would say that the statement is true if it is what is the common and most logical belief at this point. In the end though, I think political views matter more than religious beliefs anyways.

I always have my nose in a book and am constantly trying to learn more about all religions to better understand myself, and the world around me.

I don't necessarily agree with your beliefs and just the whole idea of being so religious. I find that there is too little time to be searching for the answers in life by relying on religion when you have the world in front of you that could make a name for yourself in.

The Bible does not give any hard evidence that the Earth was created a specific number of years ago. This leads me to believe that because of evidence, Earth is 4.6 billion years old but God did create the Earth according to the beliefs of my religion.

 You believe that God created the Earth 4.6 billion years ago, and that on the 6th day of Earth's existence, humans were made. Assuming you do not believe in evolution because you are a Christian, this does not make sense. Our species, known as Homo sapien, has only been around for 100,000 years. You do the math. It is certainly not 6 days. Where were the humans for the other billions of years that Earth has been in existence? I apologize for shooting down your beliefs, but you cannot believe in both God and the creation of our Earth 4.6 billion years ago. If you believe in God, then you must also believe that Earth was created more around 100,000 years ago.

This question cannot be simply answered through my lens as I have yet to study the intrinsic qualities that the universe has to offer. Only to ponder on a number and to blindly sympathize with a text without divulging yourself completely into it seems highly illogical in my line of sight. Although I could never give you a definitive yes or no answer, I might ask another why they believe the values that they hold in life such as the rich man compared to the struggling. Both express different personal ideologies as one was raised somewhat oblivious to the reality of life and the other was raised on nothing but hard work and a world to explore. All I can say that if there is a supreme being of some kind out there somewhere, I hope they listen to the cries of the struggling as man will rely solely on man if there is no other power. In the end, none of this matters until every man on planet Earth is freed from the clasp of the "Greater Man". 

Sincerely,

CHE

               I know that this bountiful Earth did not form 4.6 billion years ago because God created the world. I, as the supreme head of the Church of England, know this. It clearly states in the Bible how God created the world. So, obviously, because everyone must follow this religion, everyone agrees that the Earth was not formed 4.6 billion years ago. Again, as the Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church, I am well- versed in the language of history and the Bible.

   Dearest Mr. Che Guevara

But of course you are mistaken my dear sir!  God created this blessed Earth in six days just as the Bible says! Because I am the Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church, I do believe that I am better versed in such matters than you. It clearly states in Genesis how God created the world; therefore, it must be so. I believe it is you who is illogical. While you leave your response open, this is not belief in the Church of England. So, I must refute what you have said.

 The Earth was not created 4.6 billion years ago. I am a Baptist so I believe that God created the earth and the Heavens. How does the Earth just form 4.6 billion years ago. A big bang? Where did the explosion come from. That theory goes against my beliefs, and my logic.

The Earth was not formed 4.6 billion years ago, it was formed by a god. I have said that I am a baptist my entire life, but I am interested in numerology, astrology, and the occult. I believe in the afterlife and that spirits are all around us. In order for their to be an afterlife, there must be a god, right? I have never been totally positive on my religious beliefs. I have studied Catholicism because that was my husband's religion, but I never converted. I have also thought like an atheist before. Even though I am not positive about my beliefs, I do think now that the Earth was created by a divine being.

 Dear Mrs.Jenner,

My brain cannot comprehend the hypocrisy that I have just witnessed from reading this piece of text. I cannot fathom on how you believe in a book that clearly does not support your stances on life as you are a transgender woman and the Bible explicitly states in Deuteronomy 22:5 that “A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this”. The stupidity of the ignorant man has baffled me, as I cannot comprehend the belief in one part of your book, but deny another because it doesn't fit your personal beliefs. This ignorance has drove humans from believing that they are superior to one another solely due to the value of money and disregard moral standards. This is what I detest about, not religion, but the people who follow it, as they choose the text that fits in their agenda and disregard any other information that contradicts their beliefs. The materialistic views of mankind has hindered the growth of our species as a whole. I didn't mean to cause trouble, but I just wanted to enlighten you on a subject that I feel so passionately about as I love all who deny the imperialistic nature of mankind. 

Sincerely,

CHE

You are willing to reconsider your beliefs based on what other people say? How can you be Jewish and say that there might be a possibility? You are going against your beliefs. There is no dispute in my opinion. God created the Earth and the Heavens.

Dear Man who beheaded two of his six wives and refers to me as a denier of logic,

It might be true that you have created a church on the foundations of your quite barbaric beliefs paired with a twisted mindset towards the proletariat masses, but the idea of a man such as you believing in a man that said, " It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." completely baffles my "Simplistic" mind. It is men like you who have corrupted the world with neocolonialistic ideals and facades that scream superiority towards the bourgiousie. This is exactly the reason that I travel my path helping the struggling while you put down the very people that are the building blocks of humanity. I hope to speak again some day...

Sincerely,

CHE

 Dear King Henry VIII,

I agree with you, your highness. The Earth was not formed 4.6 billion years ago. I am not actually a member of the Church of England, but I am a christian, so I believe in God. However your statement that everyone agrees with you is not true. Have you ever heard of Charles Darwin? I'm sure he believes the Earth was formed 4.6 billion years ago. Even though I do mostly agree with you, I think you need to get off your high horse. 

Love,

Lucy
