Bible Question:
This is a long time after the original thread, but I had a couple points I wanted to discuss: "But we know that, according to the Bible, Adam lived less than 12,000 years ago-not millions and billions." I'd like to know where this came from actually. To my knowledge, the Bible does not establish a firm date as to the time of creation, nor even an accurate range of time in which Adam and Eve would have lived. I have my own opinions, but I make no claim that they are biblically supported or correct. "Do you believe that? If you do not, then you will also tend to believe in Evolutionary Theory." The way I am understanding what you are saying (please correct me if I am wrong) is that Evolutionary Theory and rejection of the claims in the Bible about creation go hand in hand. Further, it seems that (by your view) one could not hold an Evolutionist view and continue to believe what is said in the bible. This, I firmly believe, is false. But, you may notice, I have not shared what my personal opinions are on this matter, nor will I. I believe that, as long as we are seeking to understand what the Bible tells us, and the issue at hand does not directly affect our salvation, then the loose ends will become clear in the end - when we are with our Father and Creator. |
Bible Answer: This comes from acounting for the ages given in the geneologies found in the book of Gen. They are not completely actuate becausee of possible omissions. But they should be close. If you believe that the Bible was inspired by God but say that evolution is a reality then you are saying that God is a liar because Gen 1:1 says "In the begining God created the heavens and the earth." not evolution. How can you have faith in a God who starts out His inspired word with a lie. If you desire actual evidence for an early creation by God of the earth Go to the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) web site. They have many, many, many articles that give specific evidence. |
