Does finding a million year old human tooth go against the Bible?

This would indicate there were humans alive a million years ago. Does this contradict the Bible?

Does finding a million year old human tooth go against the Bible?
%26quot;Again, no, because dating has been proven to have some problems in it.





%26quot;I mean, according to Y!A,%26quot;





Oh, that%26#039;s a highly authoritative source. You need to get out from behind your keyboard and really learn something.
Reply:yes cause the bible said earth was created 4000 to 8000 years ago
Reply:no.











it only contradicts those that might suggest that the Earth was created 6,000 years ago. The Bible doesn%26#039;t suggest that.
Reply:That tooth looks more like a caveman%26#039;s tooth.. I don%26#039;t doubt God was smart enough to evolution to get through to us..





It doesn%26#039;t contradict the Bible.
Reply:the three key underlying assumptions are: 1] that the rate of decay of parent into daughter has remained constant throughout the unobservable past; 2] that the specimen which we are examining hasn’t been contaminated in any way [that is, no parent or daughter has been added or taken away at any point during the unobservable past], and 3] that we can determine how much parent and daughter were present at the beginning of the decay process





if any of these assumptions are wrong, the method can not accurately determine the age of a specimen (in this case tooth_
Reply:Lots of things contradict the Bible, such as Science, Geometry, Geology, Evolutionary Theory, Mathematics, etc etc.





Thats why NASA is now studying the Bible to see if we can send more manned space flights to the moon and back.....
Reply:Does it prove evilution? No because if it is a human tooth then human have been here for million years which Evilution say is not the case.

I mean, according to Y!A, I%26#039;ve seen the earth dating between 1 billion and 8 billion years, highlighting these years in between. [sarcasm] I mean, if radiometric dating is accurate down to 7 billion years, that%26#039;s pretty accurate, right? [/sarcasm]
Reply:Not at all, the bible does not specify time periods, and it says in genesis that each thing was created to it%26#039;s own kind, meaning not evolution.
Reply:Only if you take the bible literally. Fundamentalists will tell you that it could only be 6,000 years old. Most intelligent people realize that the bible is a good metaphor but cannot, rationally, be taken word for word as the truth.
Reply:No, because the Bible doesn%26#039;t say when God first created humans.
Reply:That human tooth found did not belong to Homo sapeins. The precise Homo species is not yet known. If hominids other than Homo Sapiens are considered earlier %26quot;animals,%26quot; it is not a contradiction.
Reply:Hi,


One Hot Mama is right on the money with her response! No where in scripture does it say the Earth is only 6K old. In fact it states otherwise. God said that in the beginning he created the Heavens and the Earth, and that was a extremely long time ago. What some Christians claim is, is the Earth must be 6K old because that%26#039;s how much time they can account for since Adam was created, and therefore the Earth must only be 6K old. That%26#039;s not an accurate way of looking at what was recorded in Genesis 1 and 2. God created a perfect Earth a very long time ago, but that Earth was destroyed. Bible scholars believe this was at the original rebellion of Satan. You can read that in the Book of Isiah. It explains how the Earth was laid waste, and absolutly no life was left at all. This wasn%26#039;t Noah%26#039;s flood either. This was a total and complete destruction, and zero life was left. The Book of Genisis explains how God recreated the Earth because it was made void and waste. This was a planetary rehab we are talking about here with all new species being created. There are a good many fossils indicating that man has been around a lot longer than 6K years too. Mankind was made before the Adam talked about in Genisis. There are two Adam%26#039;s in the Book of Genisis. The Adam (Mankind) included all the races of humans. The second Adam (Ahadam) wich means ruddy complexion, is the Adam in the line of Jesus. This is the family line Jesus traced himself back to. You have to really stick your nose into the Bible to see this info, but it is there. Which means some hardcore studying.
