Atheists claim that Earth is 10 billion years old, yet there are no fossils that old. What do you have to say for yourselves for lying?

The earth is around 4.54 billion years old.

According to current scientific understanding, the universe is around 13.7 billion years old.

People who believe the bible’s creation myth and claim it’s “compatible” with science are deluded.

And we know this “extreme age of the universe” to be correct via a simple proof:

When the earth originally formed it was far too hot for liquid water or any life to exist. This state continued for nearly a billion years. Before seas with temperatures and conditions conducive to life formed, there was no life on earth. Or at least no life as we know it, nor that has left any trace of its existence.

The earth, initially far too hot and fiery for liquid water to condense, and thus neither dark nor watery.

Thus, what many “flat earthers” believe about the facts of science is wildly incorrect.

How old is the earth?

Why?

Birds, which the bible claims were created along with sea life, but in reality are the descendants of ancient dinosaurs, many of which had feathers and some of which flew.

Nor do all atheists believe the same things. Some atheists, along with other skeptics, believe the earth doesn’t actually exist and that we are trapped inside some sort of hellish virtual reality simulation, akin to The Matrix.

The human “great leap forward” came just an eyeblink ago, within the last 10,000 years. This included advancements like agriculture, irrigation, domesticated animals, cities, etc.

Earth's seas began to form around 3.8 billion years ago, when the planet had cooled enough for water vapor to condense. But this process of the oceans forming is believed to have taken place over a very long period of time.

Because the bible says a dark, watery earth existed before the rest of the universe was created, including our sun, and that trees grew on earth before the sun was created.

Science tells us that the actual order of existence is:

According to current scientific understanding, the first more complex organisms, such as eukaryotes, appeared around 1.7 to 2.0 billion years ago. This is when the first cells with a nucleus evolved, marking a significant step in the development of complex life. But these were also organisms without skeletons or brains.

According to current scientific understanding, animals with skeletons began to appear around 550 million years ago, during the late Ediacaran period, with the most significant diversification of skeletal animals occurring during the Cambrian Explosion which began roughly 540 million years ago.

If the most distant stars were not billions of years old, their light (which travels at a known speed) would not have reached us yet, and the night sky would be much darker.

No one with any understanding of evolution is claiming that the earth is anywhere close to “10 billion years old,” or that there was life on a non-existent planet 10 billion years ago.

According to current scientific understanding, life first appeared on Earth around 3.7 to 3.5 billion years ago, with the earliest evidence of life being fossilized microbial mats found in rocks of this age and in chemical signatures of microbial organisms. (Some chemicals are formed only by living organisms.) But these were lower life forms lacking skeletons or brains.

According to current scientific understanding, animals with brains first appeared on earth around 520 million years ago during the Cambrian period, with fossil evidence of preserved brain tissue found in creatures from this era.

These are the actual facts based on the current understandings of science:

However, the actual order of creation is in complete disagreement with the bible’s fairytale.

Thus the bible’s “six days of creation” are wildly out of order. And why would a god who spoke things into existence need to rest on the seventh day?

Furthermore, the actual, factual claims have been made by scientists, many of them christians and other people of faith, not just “atheists.”
