Subject: How old is the earth scripturally? |
Bible Note: Gen 1:1 speaks about the Creation of the Heavens and the Earth. Gen.1:2 speaks about the ruined condition of the Earth (earth only and the heavens are not included in this verse) Gen.1:3 onward we find the account of the restoration of the ruined Earth over a period of SIX days. The creation of the Earth mentioned in Gen.1:1 can date back to many ages before Gen.1:2 For details you can see my TIME CHART in http://members.rediff.com/nicholson/godslove.htm |
