How Old? Meesa Confused.

**Tirisilex** · 02 May 2012, 10:57 AM

Well I once again tried to look up how old the BG is. Everyone has a diff date.
One person says 200 BCE. Another says 3138 BCE and another says 500 CE.
I feel like I should just choose one and say it is it.

Vannakkam Tirisilex: Did you actually expect anything different?

It's history.

If the contents benefit you in some way, then is that not all that counts?

Namaste Tirisilex,

Krishna's City, Dwarka, is thought to have been found 100km off the west coast of India; current estimates put this settlement at 9000 years old.
I am not sure of the age of the mahabharata but the legend is at least 3000 to 5000 years old; I would think it not impossible to imagine the end of the last ice age raising the sea levels to flood this city.

Why not look to the historical evidence as well; just to confuse matters

I'm curious because of.. dare I say it.. Christians.. Trying to tell me that the Bible is the only Historical reference that tells spiritual truth.

There are a lot of research on this subject. You may very well look into that. If you ask me, I would say, "Eat the mango friend. Why worry about how old the tree is ?".
