How old is the Earth, really?
Hey everyone and welcome back to Deeper Roots.
How old are we? Depending on your background, or your religion, or even how practical you are as a person, that question changes a lot. You can be a bit snarky and say that you are how old you are. You can say that humans have been around for about 10 thousand years, or you can say that the earth has been around for billions of years. But no matter how the answer you give changes, or how the scope of the question changes, everything points back to the beginning, and it implies that there is a beginning to start with. And that beginning is some undetermined amount of time that is debated between people coming from different walks of life.
But why is there this question? Some people don’t want to associate religion to the beginning of the world, and some people want to connect it directly to belief, purpose, and deities. In Christianity, we have our way of thinking about the question, but even within our own discussions do we have our own theories. Our listener asks “Can the Earth be older than how old Christians say it is?”
This is a really interesting question, and we think that you might also have more interesting questions of your own. so if you want to submit your own question for the podcast, you can submit it on our form found at www.ibbvn.org/deeperroots. On the website, you can find the form, as well as the rest of our episodes and the streaming platforms we are on. If you like this podcast, give it a like and please share it with your friends, your family, and your church, that way they can enjoy it as well AND ask their own questions.
Thank you for joining us today. Let’s get to the conversation!
