Is the Earth 6,000 years old?

I don't think it's constant now. It's relative.

By the way, James Talmage was at Adam-ondi-Ahman and he observed a pile of rocks that Joseph Smith said was the remains of an altar that Adam had made. The rocks were full of fossils.

Do you really believe that the first person who lived on the earth built an altar that still exists in some form in Missouri?

And you're saying that fossils in the rocks represent evidence that animals or plants died and were already fossilized before the first people? And this would be used to contradict Joseph Fielding Smith's claim that nothing died before The Fall of Adam?

Talk about coming to the correct conclusion by means of outrageously faulty reasoning. How old are you?

I believe Adam built some type of altar in what's now Missouri.

There were fossils in the rocks Adam used. The fossils are evidence of ancient life.


And this would be used to contradict Joseph Fielding Smith's claim that nothing died before The Fall of Adam?

I'm not contradicting or supporting his claim. I'm just stating the facts as I understand them.

You have no clue what my reasoning or beliefs are. All I said was that there were fossils in the rocks JS identified as having been Adam's altar. From that statement you can't tell whether I believe JS was a prophet (I do) or whether I believe Adam existed (I do).


How old are you?

Early 40s.

When god created the rocks that Adam would use, did he zap his magic wand and create them out of amoebas that had just come into existence on that very day?

There is a wood frame house being built next door. County records will list the "year built" as 2009. Does that mean the trees that the wood came from were grown in 2009?

Is there a list of people that really believe the earth is only 6000 years old? If so, I have some "stuff" to sell them.
