How old are we anyway

I don't know about you but when you have the flu like I have just had and yes things will be back to normal tomorrow but as a christian its that time when you begin to fill your mind with christian teachings one after the other. A while back I visited a really cool and small church in Edenvale by a friend and he gave me one of these free DVD's by Kent Hovind and during my time of being bedridden I took the opportunity to start watching this. There are things that I'm passionate about and they are Gymnastics, Geography, The Offspring (The best secular band in the world) and also Christian Theology (Apologetics especially - Defending the faith) and this is why I have been so fascinated with Kent Hovind's Teachings.

He teaches that the stuff we learn in schools is absolute nonsense, have you noticed any textbook you can find says the earth formed billions or millions of years. I came to this conclusion after reading Genesis to Revelations last year and if you do the maths you will find that the textbooks don't exactly match up. His theory and its one I tend to agree with is that the earth formed about 6000 years ago as stated in Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" then the fall of man happened which set a destructive example for the descendants to come and it was at this point that God appeared to Noah and instructed him to build an ark as he was going to bring about a great flood, to which Noah built this ark, collected animals galore and brought his family onboard and then the flood came and I'm not talking about the destruction that you saw in New Zealand or Brisbane, this was a global flood killing all humankind and species that weren't on this boat and then the human race had to start over again and about 2000 years later after more rebellion God brought Jesus in the form of a little baby born in a manger and that baby turned out to be the very son of God, he confronted society in a way we never imagined and even died at the hands he came to save in a cruel way? Why, well because of our sin. Jesus came to save us from eternal death so we could spend eternity in heaven.

This all sounds like a dream come true but the problem is that there are still those who oppose these teaching and would rather brainwash us with the teachings of Darwin (who by the way in my opinion is one of the worlds greatest frauds around for bringing in his false teachings and theories) and the schools pass them as factual. You see there are 2 conflicts

Atheism: The world was created billions of years ago from nothing (how nothing come from nothing is something I don't seem to understand, it just can't be possible - something must come from something)
Christianity: The Earth is not billion of years old but around 6000 years old and started with the creation as stated in Genesis chapter 1 (I choose to believe the Bible as it makes the most sense).

If someone asks me why I'm a Christian my answer is because I believe and if someone asks me why I believe I will answer "because I have seen his work in my life and even the most impossible miracles that only God can perform". I challenge you to ask yourself why do you believe.
