Logos one thing you will run into on this forum........ especially from folks who are concerned about losing their faith........... is 'rational ignorance' the definition is:
I find anti-Christian literature exactly the same as Watchtower literature. It is twisted and complicated with no real consistently in its teachings and often is boastful and arrogant. It often comes down to a certain type of theism where I don’t really understand what I believe but it is anti-Christian so it must be true. Richard Dawkins born into another life would most likely be the most uber Elder or even a C.O.
The way I look at is the bible doesn’t say the earth is 6000 years old. The 6000 years comes from the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the new testament dating back to Adam. The interesting part about the number 6000 is it the time most scientists agree that civilization began in Iraq. Adam and Eve could just be a parable about the consciousness of man. Who knows?
Instead of worrying about the first 4.6 billion years , I think we might want to wonder about the last 6000 instead.

Which is totally impossible. Humans evolved from non-human ancestors over millions of years. Homo sapiens have be around for over 100 000 years. These things are facts. If you want to have a faith that is your choice but you need to make it compatible with reality.
Also the gospels present two genealogies which are contradictory and cannot be reconciled.

Perfect example of how the WTS never really leaves you. You quoted me out of context.
LoL
The point I was trying to make is there is a big difference between the consciousnesses of man and the origin of the species.

That's a cheap shot, you should be embarrassed.
Perhaps if you didn't use vague terms like "the consciousness of man"
Advanced human civilisation with art and language and ritual, religion and complex societies have existed for 10s of thousands of years.
The majority of archaeologists agree that the cradle of civilization is Mesopotamia Iraq roughly 6000-10000 years ago.
Sorry, this isn't a religious thing. Just a textbook thing. Quit watching Ancient Aliens.20 000 year old pottery in China
40 000 year old cave art in Indonesia
How do you link this with your 6000 years since "human consciousness"?
Perhaps do some reading before misquoting textbooks Clambake.
