Subject: How old is the earth? |
Bible Note: Hello llaws, The "young-earth" vs. "old-earth" is indeed an ongoing debatable issue:-) You say, "Significantly, the Genesis account shows that the expression “day” is used in a flexible sense. At Genesis 2:4, the entire period of six days described in the preceding chapter is spoken of as only one day. Logically, these were, not literal days of 24 hours, but long periods of time. Each of these epochs evidently lasted thousands of years." How did you come to that conclusion? BradK |
