For starters, let's talk about the age of the Earth. This is important to better understand both topics. Okay, many scientists (and almost all scientists that write textbooks) think that the Earth is billions of years old. This helps them say that dinosaurs existed a long time ago and then became extinct and it helps to make the evolution myth more believable (they think that if they give "nothingness" enough time, something will emerge, and we have bought this myth as a culture.) Okay, but the Earth is not billions of years old, and I can prove it using the Bible. For those of you who have read your Bible, then you know that there are several books of the bible "Genesis, Chronicles, Matthew and Luke, etc" that have pages full of begats (Genesis 11:10, for example says, "These [are] the generations of Shem: Shem [was] an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood.") So, anyway, because the Bible tells how old people were before they had their children and it lists the generations in a successive line from Adam (who was the first man) until Jesus (who we know was born roughly 2000 years ago), all we have to do is add up the genealogies, and we can figure up how old the Earth is because according to the Bible, we were created on the 6th day of creation. So if you add up the successive genealogies, then the Earth is approximately 6,000 years old.
