1 | When was "In the Beginning" | Gen 1:1 | charis | 17560 | ||
Dear Hank, Bless you, honored fellow, in Jesus' name! I am in complete agreement with you! Indeed this topic is volatile! Those Christians that have swallowed the presently-popular multi-billion year Big Bang Theory (and it's remora, Darwinian evolution) without thought, reflection, or reconciliation with the Bible are way out in left field. IMHO, right field is occupied with those that insist that we must believe in a less-than-ten-thousand-year-old Creation, even though the Bible does NOT claim it or insist upon it. The idea that satan laid 'traps' to deceive us into believing an 'old earth' has some merit. However, to say that the Lord God purposely defeated the physical laws (that He instituted!) in order to make the stars 'appear' millions-of-light-years-away, to make any all dating methods inaccurate by a factor of 1,000 or more, and allowed satan to construct all those pesky dinosaur bones, beggars all rational thought. Why would our God take part in such an elaborate deception? I have been to several 'creation' sites, and often their 'proofs' to debunk the Big-Bangers-evolutionists is as irrational and exaggerated as the 'opposition!' Friend, you are right! It IS a secret. After coming to that conclusion, I rarely worry about it! At least until I hear one side or the other claim to 'know' the mind of God, or trust the feelings of man. (I won't say which is which :-)) Thank you, sir, for a courageous statement on a Bible Study Forum, "I don't know. And you don't either." By the way, in case some might ask. I believe that God created all Creation. (not evil!) He is the Alpha (and Omega)! In Christ Jesus, charis |

Greetings my long distance friend! Excellent post! The age of the earth simply isn't theologically important. May I ask one question though! You seem to think that an apparent age would be a violation of physical laws. However, isn't that exactly what God did when He created Adam and Eve as adults? Personally, I don't consider apparent age as being deceptive. It only becomes a problem if scientists assume that the world had a natural origin because the dating processes are all based upon these assumptions. If someone dug up Adams bones, they would assume that he had lived (for the sake of argument) 30 years longer than he actually had. But, that would be a false assumption. You are definitely right though, both sides can get very extreme in their views at times! :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
