I have a theory.
To start out with I'll say that I fervently disagree with those who say the earth is 6000 years old. However, I am a Christian, and the timeline here puzzles me.
Where are the eons before man, and where do they fit in with the 7 days of creation?
Heres where I go about inferring and interpreting. Anyone who is Atheist, please dont post unless you have something intelligent to say.
I cant prove anything, however, how long was a day for God? 24 hours? 100 million years? As long as he pleased is the more likely term.
How does this fit in with us? Here goes
When animals were created, thats when all of the evolutions and extinctions come into play. Then, when God Created man, thats when the count began for the age of earth. The 6000 year old thing is still quite fallible... Althought many scientists are starting to believe that the earth is 7000 years old... I found this on the net
Noone can really know the true age of the earth. I personally think that when the tower of Babel was created is when we got all of our languages, and the races of man were scattered about the earth. As far as evolution goes... this is an explanation in my opinion. The reason we're different is because of environmental stimuli. I do not believe that man evolved from monkeys. This is because, animals that evolve in most cases evolve fully out of there previous state. Why do we still have any monkeys? Why, after so many years, do we not see undeveloped half humans, instead of just different species of monkey?
Thoughts?

There are a growing number of scientists who are concluding the earth is actually relatively young. They have studied population growth, the amount of meteoric dust on the earth's surface, the quantity of nickel in the oceans, and carbon-14 build up. Many of these scientists believe the earth is more in the range of 7, 000 years old
