how come, if "there have been billions and billions of years," we're only in the year 2007?

Ohh, you got me good! I'm now a young-Earth creationist, because of your fantabulous, ironclad argument!
Post Of The Month. Such hilarious stupidity needs credit. This is a riot.
Counterquestion: How come, if "the world is 6,000 years old," we're only in the year 2007? Huh? Huh?
Actually, that's a proper question, coming from the mouth of a 2-year-old.
She later adds: "Where does BC turn into AD for the scientists?"
This has to be a troll. It has to be. My brain will not accept that people could actually be this stupid. The Western world uses a calendar based off of Christian Mythology, and a Christian fundie can't wrap their tiny head around it. I have to go do something that won't destroy my brain cells as quickly as this now. Like huffing paint thinner.
because thousands of heavily armed psychopaths, and those they relayed the message to, listened to a guy at an altar telling them it was 1582, and that anyone who disagred was gonna take a short vacation away from their limbs.

That's because the calender is based on, oh now what is it again? Oh yeah, RELIGON! Surprise, surprise.

<< I wonder why people do not know that the calender years were not invented by scientists but by rulers and priests...the only time I know where a scientist has had direct influence on the calender - is when a one realised that the rotation around the earth is 365.25 instead of 365 and we skipped about two months. (I believe later there was the realisation that it was .24.) >>Scott: Actually, it's 365.242195, according to one source I read. But what's a few seconds per millennium between friends?

Sigh, if only those monks had read a little Hawkings, this whole confusion would never have happened...
So "not", if we're going to live forever, why do we bother marking time at all?
English words have no way of conveying what I am thinking right now.
It is a complex set of emotions, involving many *headdesk*s, "WHY??!"s and the full spectrum from fear to anger to sheer, dumbfounded horror and straight off of the cliffs of things man was not meant to know.
Because we are in the year 2007 AD, the system of numbering years from the alleged year of birth of Jesus, not from when the world came into existence.
Actually, it's just us atheist trying to deceive you, you see, if we can convince the whole world it's year 2007 then the liberals can take over the government and stop all religion and destroy the ten commandments.
"how come, if "there have been billions and billions of years," we're only in the year 2007?"
Here's a better question, and also a paraphrasal of one of my favourite quotes; How did your brain learn human speech?
On a side note, assuming that this fundie thinks that the year 0 coincides with Jesus' birth and that there have only been 2007 years so far, this would mean that Mary cannot have born Jesus, because she would not have had enough time to become a young woman, able to bear a child.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
