Subject: How old is the earth scripturally? |
Bible Note: There is no Scriptural evidence for the Ruin-Restoration Theory. It came about during the time of Darwin and as an attempt to reconcile the Scriptural account of the origin of universe with the popularization of Darwinism. There are many good arguments against such a theory, and if it becomes necessary, I will write them here. Suffice it to say, that if this world were built upon thousands or even millions of years of death and destruction, how could God proclaim it very good (Gen. 1:31) It would be like saying, "This world of lush vegation, wondrous animals, and righteous man founded on the graves of soulless Godless creatures that look like man, millions of dead animals, and decimated flood-destroyed landscapes is VERY good. Highly unlikely. God bless, In Christ, koinekid Upholding Scriptural Accuracy, Integrity, Immutability and Relevacny: Working towards the glory of God and the salvation of man |
