Bible Question: how old is the earth? is there a gap(theory) between gen1:1 and gen1:2? |
Bible Answer: chach, Good question, and full of debate unless you take the Bible "literally." Last time I heard, the answer was around 6000 to 6500 years. By those that take the 24 hour periods in Genesis as "literal." Secular scientist that use "carbon dating," for one, are in trouble with most creationist scientist. There seems to be many problems with carbon dating. Experiments have been done on bones that were years old and the carbon dating showed them to be thousands of years old. This ought to get some responses by others! Best I can do for now.......... InGodITrust |
