Subject: How old is the earth scripturally? |
Bible Note: Phillip You know, it is a good thing you can take what God says as literal so often. Otherwise, Jesus could have been in the tomb for centuries, and, in my few years on this earth, I would still be working nonstop because it would still be Monday! And do you know how bad Jonah would have smelled by now being in the belly of a big fish all this time? If you can accept timeframes for all of these, why is it so hard to believe in the time frame for God's creation as shown in Genesis? Break down part of the Word, and you start to erode it all. Keep your faith, my friend. I would, and have, suggested people visit ICR.org to get more information on the truths of Genesis. They are scientist who are Christians first and start their investigations based on the theory that God's word is true - not that evolution is true, and how can we adjust God's word to it.
