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: Greetings JK316 In Gen.1:1 "in the beginning God" Before this universe came into being "God". It is difficult to comprehend a Source without beginning or end. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." This is a dateless past. In Gen 1:2 "Now the earth was without form; and darkness was upon the face of the deep and the Spirit of God was brooding over the waters. We have no idea how long the earth was this way. Some have suggested that the earth became this way due to the judgment of God on a past civilization. The uprising and fall of Lucifer have been suggested as the cause to such a catastrophe. v.3 "God said let there be light and there was light" from this moment on we see how the earth was renewed to what we now enjoy. We realize that the creatures of God were brought forth after their kind. I think that we find in most species that over time they may adapt or change, but do not cross over kinds. The created earth is constanly changing and is much different today than it was in the day of Adam. As I am sure you are aware that today, we have people who believe in a young earth, whereas there are others which accept the old earth. Personally, I favour the old earth due to the facts of the fossil record and the evidences of the geological ages. I believe however, that behind it all "is God" Creator and Sustainer of all things. Another thing to consider in Genises, that we are not told how long Man was on the earth in total fellowship with God before sin entered the world. I certainly do not think it was just a few months I look forward to hearing your thoughts Robert |
