Bible Question:
What does the Bible say about the origin of life and evolution? Is it either implicitly or explicitly stated that all the creatures God created are permanent and can never change? Does the Bible say anything about how old the Earth is? |
Bible Answer: Dear JK316...Welcome to the Forum :-) I agree with Hank and Radioman that the Bible does not state explicitly how old the Earth is. A good Biblical guess, based primarily on the genealogies, would be 6,000 to 12,000 years however. There is much debate on the age of the Earth to be found here on the Forum that a good search will uncover. For a "young Earth" point of view please visit answersingenesis.org. The young Earth argument is quite persuasive. God Bless....Jensen |
