AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God (Elohim) created [by forming from nothing] the heavens and the earth. [Heb 11:3] |
Subject: How old is the earth scripturally? |
Bible Note: There seems to be a large unrevealed number of ages between Gen.1:1 and Gen.1:2. Because Gen.1:1 tells about the creation of the heavens and the earth. But Gen.1:2 tell that the earth alone (and not the heavens)was in a ruined condition. Gen.1:2 can also be translated as "the earth BECAME formless, void," For details you can see my TIME CHART in http://members.rediff.com/nicholson/godslove.htm |
