Bible Question:
What name calling? Literalist? You mean to tell me you're not a literalist? I certainly would hope you'd wear that title as a badge of honor. I have no trouble explaining how a seven day week was established. No more than I would explaining a seven year cycle of planting, harvest and rest. As far as any Biblical evidence to a billion year old earth- what evidence is there period for the age of the earth? I'll say it again. The Bible isn't intended as scientific text. Believing the earth is such and such an age is not a requirement to becoming a Christian or remaining one for that matter. If you wish to treat Genesis as literal, I applaud you. You have a much more difficult task than I do when it comes to witnessing to the scientifically literate seeker. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Doug! I have not yet been lured or even been enticed into a "playground" dispute.. However, our dialogue has given me an interesting take on those who hold to the 'billion year' persuasion, even though I still have not been convinced in the least bit that there is any such credence to the view. Nonetheless, I appreciate the correspondence! Blessings to you, Makarios |
