If God wanted to make the world and stretch out the stars and universe with his little fingers in 6 days He most certainly could if he wanted.

But there is a more stunning claim than that.   The New Testament claims the world was made from , through, to by and for Jesus Christ.

To promote that the Earth is required by the Bible or Qur'an to be 6,000 years old (or anything less than a few billion) is dangerous since were people to believe that they would have to accept that the holy book is a lie once they understood the evidence for the extremely ancient Earth.

Causing or Encouraging people to give up on the Holy Scripts (either Bible or Qur'an) through listening to your lies or ignorance is a form of Shirk and according to the Qur'an the liar would be destined for Hell.

The same applies to telling a lie that the Earth is not spheroidal etc.  -- you would be encouraging people to become disbelievers and according to the Qur'an, sending them to Hell along with yourself.

Do you really want to go there?

Not true. What evidence exactly are you talking about?

Not if you were wrong and they were right. By the way both bible and Qur'an could not be holy books. Only one could be. The other has to be very very unholy.

I'm glad you wrote "could" instead of "can" or even "must".

This still leaves room for the third option, that:

Both are very, very unholy.

The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses (Albert Einstein 1954, in his "Gods Letter")

Or a fourth...you may be. The point was though, that when we hold up the two books, only one could be from God. The bible is all about the plan of salvation for man from the creation of the world till the end of the world. Jesus fulfilled the prophesies, and could only have been God in human flesh. According to the other book, He was just some sort of prophet. Only one book could be right.

Or since we all agree that one of the books is wrong, they could both be wrong. Just was we agree that all the other holy books are wrong.

Do you consider the Earth to be less than billions of years old?

If so how do you explain the fossil record? How do you explain the stone my house is built from? Every time I walk over my door step I see the layers of sandstone which were once sediment at the bottom of a sea or lake. It has taken a long time for those sands to be compressed, then had errosion cut away all the other layers of stone above them which were deposited later and then for that stone to be exposed far above the level of the sea.
