Recorded history goes back approximately 5,000 years and comes to an abrupt halt and the reason for that is obvious...there isn't much history prior to that point.
Because the evolutionists have no recorded history of man prior to the 6,000 plus years declared in God's Word which is a reliable history book and witness, the anti-Bible groups have no witnesses to support their pre-6,000 years old claims. In order to debunk the authority of God's Word they created an armada of pseudoscientific theories and techniques to offset their lack of witnesses...their lack of proof.
[Don't you just love the way these types label everything that doesn't agree with their fantasy 'anti'? As for the rest of the rant...well, it speaks for itself!]

Wait, what? Do you discount cave paintings, artifacts left by people with pretty pictures on them, going back almost 10k years? Egyptian settling beginning at 10k BC? It's right there in front of you, why- You're just sticking your fingers in your ears and singing, aren't you?
I just find it funny that they don't need proof for their own beliefs, faith is enough, but when it comes to things they don't agree with, suddenly it's all about finding proof that can pass their own inspections.

We have the Sumarian clay tablets. We win.
A star measured at 170,000 light years away by simple observation and high school trigonometry isn't a "pseudo-scientific theory". It's simple and irrefutable. It's creationists who come up with pseudo-science like Star Trek "space warps" and bizarre and arbitrary changes in the speed of light to try to explain it away.
...the 6,000 plus years declared in God's Word...
Incorrect. Nowhere in the Bible will you find a "declaration" concerning the age of the Earth. What you will find is list after list of "Fred begat Frank". Bishop Ussher added the begats together and came up with the 6,000 year figure.
"Recorded history goes back approximately 5,000 years and comes to an abrupt halt and the reason for that is obvious...there isn't much history prior to that point that Christians or Muslims want you to know about"
1. Monastic destruction of non-Christian history and dogma.
2. Destruction of the Library at Alexandria
Fixed.
God's Word is a reliable history book? But that is just the history of a few tribes in a little patch of the Middle East, and of dubious provenance anyway.
". . . their lack of proof." Just so.

Lola, you have done it again. I think I love you.

Ancient Egyptians and Mesopotamians would like to have a word with you...
In christian religion, no, it doesn't go back past 5k years...in reality and world cultures, it goes back far beyond that
"the anti-Bible groups have no witnesses to support their pre-6,000 years old claims"
You have the Babble, case closed..
Edit:
The Old Testament contains 39 books written from approximately 1500 to 400 BC, and the New Testament contains 27 books written from approximately 40 to 90 AD
It seems like a lot of pre 10,000 years ago history is missing because it's under the sea now. There were civilisations around, living beside the sea and building etc. But when the ice-age ended their cities and towns became submerged - ergo not accessible.
Uh, no. It's because there wasn't anything written way back then. But, we go have bones, rocks, and other things that give us a brief idea.
Oh bless! Such a stubborn avoidance of truth really suits you. It goes really well with your fantasy-prone obsessions and matches your educational level perfectly. Congratulations, you are an almost complete and irrefutably-lame simpleton.
The strident tone you adopt mingles nicely with your dedication to lowering the standard of intelligence among the populace. Let your unparalleled enthusiasm for propping-up your wavering faith with indefatigable idiocy be cheered to the rafters. For you have shown us all how it's possible to be such a simpering buffoon and still be a redoubtable scholar of the origins of mankind.
Superbly done alvaro. The quality of your deduction is rancid and your logic is non-existent, only equaling the limp waffle and the wretched inadequacy of your invisible proofs.

Probably because there was no written language to record history with before then. But seriously, we have bones, artifacts, cave paintings, and whole cities that are older then 5,000 years. We don't need recorded writings to prove someone was there.

If it's 170,000 light-years away, it's too far away for the distance to have been measured by direct trigonometric parallax. We would have had to use standard candles or spectroscopic "parallax" (which isn't actually parallax at all) to estimate the distance.
Plus, every good Young-Earth Creationist knows that the light from distant stars and galaxies was created already-en-route to the Earth. I mean, duh.
There were humans, they just couldn't write. However, they could paint and draw, and have left behind many cave paintings that date much farther back than 5000 years ago.

Or, because, maybe, no one had developed writing until then?

what's truly amazing about this claim is...we do.
Wow, you fail on every single point. See, there are these lovely things called cave paintings ...those prove humanity has been around a long while. God's word can't even agree with itself within individual books , and gets a lot of things completely wrong. Creationists are the ones who do as you claim; scientists make theories to fit the evidence .
Actually recorded history goes back further than that by about a thousand to maybe 2000 years...
So 6000 years... BUSTING your bible since the records spoke of "other stuff".
And we do have records of previous years since a lot of the "6000 year old stuff" spoke of previous events.
Pre historical evidence for civilisation is mainly cave paintings not written language. Still... 30,000 BC to 7000 BC is a sizeable time scale.
seriously.....
have you ever tried radiometric dating? do you even know how it works? do you know what it has helped us do? do you even know what radioactive decay is?
oh and to debunk your 6K years and no written history argument,
this is just because people didnt record history until about... well exactly then
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
