Even Pat Robertson Denies that the Earth is 6,000 Years Old [View all]

[cleanhippie]

On today’s 700 Club, televangelist Pat Robertson appeared to break with many of his fellow fundamentalists who subscribe to Young Earth creationism regarding the age of the earth, disputing their notion that the planet is only around 6,000 years old. Robertson said that James Ussher, the seventeenth century bishop who to this day is heralded by Young Earth creationists for using the Bible to argue that the earth was created in 4004 BC, “wasn’t inspired by the Lord when he said it all took 6,000 years, it just didn’t.” While many creationists believe that dinosaurs were on Noah’s Ark, Robertson insisted that dinosaurs “were on the earth before the time of the Bible, so don’t try to cover it up and make like everything was 6,000 years, that’s not the Bible.”

However, Robertson’s Christian Broadcasting Network sells material arguing that the earth is 6,000 years old and that the Bible says dinosaurs and humans lived together.

Well, I wonder what ol' Pat's flock will do with this info, considering that Pat SELLS creationist nonsense on his website.

Oh, and for those of us here that subscribe to the YEC theory (yes, there are some. Have a look at the recent "Creation Science At It's Best" thread for some stunning examples), when Pat Fucking Robertson says your idea is fantasy, you better believe him!
