Are you convinced, yet? |
Well, you see, I might be crazy and all but I could have sworn I read somewhere where the Bible states that time relative to man is different to that relative to God on two or three separate occasions which is why I never understand the "But-the-Bible-says-the-earth-is-only-6,000-years-old!" argument.

But I guess people seemingly only note what they want to note.
(And, for the record, I basically repeated my first post because you forgot the part about time being measured differently in God's eyes than in man's eyes.)
