Only human arrogance dictates that an almighty God, whom himself is timeless and omnipotent, works on a human scale of measurement. 6,000 god years = 6billion human years. Quite darned possible if you ask me. Also science stated that the Earth had much shorter days when it was formed. Something like a 4 hour day. Imagine how old, relatively, the earth would be if our days were still based on that scale. Probably trillions of years old. It all just depends on the perspective of the observer, so technically no one is correct.
Fun little fact to make ya expand ideas :)

A year isn't defined by the length of 365 days. It's defined by the time that it takes to orbit the sun. That length hasn't changed much over the last 4.5 billion years. Therefore, a year has stayed pretty much the same length throughout the history of this planet. I don't care if one billion human years is one thousand for 'God', the Earth is not 10,000 orbits of the Earth around the sun old.
Enough said.

Let's talk desktops then. Cuz windows mobile is ok, but not to par with things like XP or Ubuntu.

As I said, it's all based off of the perspective of the observer. You see it on the scale of just the solar system. If you compare it to the revolution of the galaxy, or even the universe itself, you can find that it could be either a lot faster or a lot slower than how you currently view it. Time is relative, distance is constantly changing because space time is changing. We are just unable to see it on a mass scale at the moment. Don't need to be all pissy about it. lol

Same with planes n stuff.
At least the pilot controls are made with Ada.
Some are.
I'm not talking about the entertainment system either.
Also, Linux isn't bad, it's just I don't really want to get used to it :|
