From Mediaite

quote:

Remember that big Bill Nye-Ken Ham creation v. evolution debate that, for a brief moment, ignited the spark of the culture wars? Well, Pat Robertson‘s reaction to that debate was to say it’s “nonsense” to think the earth is 6000 years old and that people like Ham are helping to “make a joke” out of religious people. Well, last week Ham fired back at Robertson and lamented how “misinformed” he is on the matter.
...
This isn’t the first time Robertson’s spoken out against young-earth creationism, saying in 2012 that religious people shouldn’t try to “cover it up” and pretend the earth is only a few thousand years old.

There are several competing theories in Christiandom about the 'age of the Earth'.

TE or Thiestist Evolution

The 'Gap Theory'. This is the one I tend to gravitate towards. The reasoning behind this is that is an undisclosed or unknown amount of time that elapsed bewtween Gen 1:1 & Gen 1:2.

Was this time 100s of thousands of our years? Perhaps tens of millions of years?

Also, remember, the Bible was not written with chapters and verses. Chapters and verses were added to the Holy Scriptures sometime around 1000 AD. It was written more in a letter or in book style.

And please remember that the Bible has NOTHING to say about science...NOTHING!!

If only the bible thumpers and atheists would get that little fact through their collective heads.

Well Pat Robertson is known for saying outlandish things that paint Christians in a bad light ( God sent hurricane to La. because of decadence festival) so he has no room to talk.

Robertson continues to broadcast his show on the Disney channel(he sold his channel to them) to this day. Every day early and late it can be seen there. The Disney channel hosts some deeply unchristian shows during the rest of the day so if anyone has become irrational it is Pat.
