The earth is seven days old. Plus several thousand years between then and now. "By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done." Gen. 2:2 The point is that the Bible is God's revelation of all we need to know for life and godliness. So, although we can get a ballpark estimate of the age of the heavens and the earth from the Bible, the real point is not how old it is but what's its source, how did it come to be. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." The writer of Hebrews says, "By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible." Heb 11:3 The point is that "what is" has NOT always been in some form or another (i.e., "Big Bang"). God commanded the universe into existence. The Psalmist says, "By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host.... For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast." Ps 33:6,9 Therefore, "Let all the earth fear the LORD; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him." Ps 33:8 |
