Unfortunately, while there were some good answers about the crucifixion, none of them quite got there.
But it shows good thinking, which is progress.

There are fundamentalis who would disagree with you on this. I know a retired professor who taught at the local Christian university who deduced from the bible that the earth is a few thousands years old, there are many with the same beliefs. Your argument about the age of the earth is with those in fraction cults of your religion.

1) Just as with the Constitution people imagine a lot stuff that isn't in the documents.
1b)I suspect there are more liberals atheists ect who believe Christians adhere to the 6000 yo earth than actually do adhere to that belief.
2) I doubt you know my religion.

Wrong again piker, I know your religion very well, maybe better than you do and to top that I know your thought process very well too.
Your life is defined by you mystical beliefs.
The Brainwashed Believers say
"You believe the Earth is 4 billion years old because someone told you to believe it"
No, you fucking moron. We believe it because of the overwhelming evidence that that's the case. We try to disprove the theory that it's 4 billion years old, and we find we can't, because the scientific evidence proves it.
You work in exactly the opposite way. You believe in God because someone told you to believe in God, most likely your misguided parents. Instead of going out and trying to prove that God exists, you take it on faith that God exists. In fact, you discourage any attempt to prove any of the Flying Spaghetti Monster fairly tales that arise out of your 'holy books'. Attempts to prove anything are heresy in your infantile mind. Was it intellectual laziness that allowed you to be sucked into this morbid way of thinking, or did the early programming cause your mind to wilt? Interesting question.
The Bible says the earth is 6,xxx years old or 8,xxx years old by our method of reckoning years. jem and peil both believe this to be literally true. peil is so far gone that he will admit it (peil also thinks you can get AIDS if someone who's HIV +ve coughs around you, or so we heard earlier today). jem has some vestigial remains of whatever reasoning power he was born with, and won't come right out and say it because he knows how fucking ridiculous it is. Not sure who's worse.
