[__ Science __ ] Old Earth vs. Young Earth

Okay. I'm not sure how this addresses what I said.
In other words having a belief does not matter unless it is bible based.
I've given some and have others. Perhaps you would care to address some of it rather than merely stating that there is none.
You may have thought you gave some bible support for old ages. I doubt it. Really.
Of course not. But this means you didn't understand what I said.
It was childishly simple actually. You alluded to stars already being here before He made them on the fourth day
 
In other words having a belief does not matter unless it is bible based.
Of course, depending on the belief.

You may have thought you gave some bible support for old ages. I doubt it. Really.
I did. I gave several different ways to legitimately understand the first six days of creation that are true to Scripture and allow for an old earth. If you doubt I did, then address what I have stated.

It was childishly simple actually. You alluded to stars already being here before He made them on the fourth day
Which means you either didn't actually read what I wrote, or it was not all childishly simple and you didn't understand it.

Be specific. There is no legitimate way to insert old ages
Which means you either didn't actually read what I wrote, or it was not all childishly simple and you didn't understand it.
So be clear. Give us your Scripture chapter and verse that says the earth is millions of years old? Give us support that the stars and sun were not created in the six days as was Adam? Why pretend we do not understand what you cannot produce (whether you imagine you did or not)
 
Be specific.
You'll have to go back and read. I'm not going to repeat things I've said already.

This is fallaciously begging the question.

So be clear. Give us your Scripture chapter and verse that says the earth is millions of years old? Give us support that the stars and sun were not created in the six days as was Adam?
Again, go back and read what I've written. I can no more give you chapter and verse that says the earth is millions of years old than you can given chapter and verse that says the earth is 6,000 years old.

Why pretend we do not understand what you cannot produce (whether you imagine you did or not)
I am not pretending anything. Based on what you've said so far, you either haven't read what I posted or you have misunderstood it. Those are the only two options.
 
They didn't have jets
They had camels. This is represented by the letter C. Which today means jets. Just like a tent or tabernacle today can be a high rise building for our office or a home for people to live in. The difference is a home we leave in the morning and return at night. Our business we go to in the morning sunrise and leave at sunset. Unless you are in a union then it gets all mixed up and confused.
 
Give us your Scripture chapter and verse that says the earth is millions of years old?
Give us your support that science is wrong. We have lots more evidence for Science than your traditional interpretation of the Bible. Jesus warns against following human traditions that contradict God's commandments. In Mark 7:8, He criticizes the Pharisees, saying, "You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions." He emphasizes that traditions should not replace true faith and obedience to God
 
You'll have to go back and read. I'm not going to repeat things I've said already.
No. You have nothing stop pretending. Whatever you said was not showing that the bible claims millions of years. Ridiculous
This is fallaciously begging the question.
No that is the truth in simple form that even you should be able to get
Again, go back and read what I've written. I can no more give you chapter and verse that says the earth is millions of years old than you can given chapter and verse that says the earth is 6,000 years old.
Either Adam was here in creation week (the same one everything else was created) or not. If he was, then we have a reasonable estimate of when he lived.

Time is a tickin so if you have any support whatsoever for the notion that the bible suggests that earth is millions of years old, let's see it.
 
Give us your support that science is wrong.
Simple. Show us ANY science that shows Genesis wrong? We can then expose whatever you offer as not really science. Piece of cake
We have lots more evidence for Science than your traditional interpretation of the Bible.
No one questioned science. What is questioned is falsely called science that is really bad religion in drag
Jesus warns against following human traditions that contradict God's commandments. In Mark 7:8, He criticizes the Pharisees, saying, "You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions." He emphasizes that traditions should not replace true faith and obedience to God
That has what to do with your allusions that science overrules the bible on creation?
 
Simple. Show us ANY science that shows Genesis wrong?
Your job is to show me that science is wrong. I know the Bible is not wrong. Peter and Moses BOTH tell us that a day with God is 1,000 years. There are people that teach at the universities in Jerusalem that have a PhD in Botany. They can tell you how the wild plants in the MIddle east became cultivated in the Garden of Eden. They do not write very many books. Mostly they publish in journals. Moses saved an entire biodiverse eco system on the Ark. They needed food to eat after the flood. The Bible is clear that Adam is the first person to till the land.

Jacob is an example of breeding animals. That would be Jacob! In Genesis 30, Jacob worked for his father-in-law, Laban, tending his flocks. He made a deal with Laban that he would take only the speckled, spotted, and striped animals as his wages. Using a unique breeding strategyJacob saw an increase in his flock, which led to his prosperity.

Eden was cultivated plants and domestic animals. NOT wild plants and animals. This has to do with the breath of life.
 
No. You have nothing stop pretending. Whatever you said was not showing that the bible claims millions of years. Ridiculous
Again, read what I actually wrote and address the points I made. Have some integrity at least.

No that is the truth in simple form that even you should be able to get
No, you’re fallaciously begging the question. You’re assuming your particular interpretation of the text is correct and using that to conclude it is correct.

Either Adam was here in creation week (the same one everything else was created) or not. If he was, then we have a reasonable estimate of when he lived.
So, your belief that the earth is around 6,000 years old is based on your assumptions about the text, and other texts presumably. This underscores my point that the Bible is silent on how old the earth is.

Time is a tickin so if you have any support whatsoever for the notion that the bible suggests that earth is millions of years old, let's see it.
Again, the fact you state this shows you simply either haven’t read or don’t understand what I’ve already stated.
 
This underscores my point that the Bible is silent on how old the earth is.
Job 38 records God questioning Job about the foundations of the earth, saying:

"Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand." (Job 38:4, NIV)

This passage emphasizes God's role as Creator and suggests that the earth's origins are beyond human comprehension.
 
Your job is to show me that science is wrong.
Falsely called science is wrong. All origin sciences are false. How are they wrong? The old ages for example. All dating methods are faith based. For example if a rock was created and we looked at it the day after, it would have isotope ratios already in it. The ratios would not be due to radioactive decay. They would be due to creation. Radioactive decay is just another process that kicked in AFTER things existed. Science gives credit to such processes for the very existence of things
I know the Bible is not wrong. Peter and Moses BOTH tell us that a day with God is 1,000 years.
With man, though a day is a day. Since the bible is for man, that is what matters. God was not talking about some unreal mysterious 'God mornings and evenings' when He tells us He created in six days. That would be man days.
There are people that teach at the universities in Jerusalem that have a PhD in Botany. They can tell you how the wild plants in the MIddle east became cultivated in the Garden of Eden. They do not write very many books. Mostly they publish in journals. Moses saved an entire biodiverse eco system on the Ark. They needed food to eat after the flood. The Bible is clear that Adam is the first person to till the land.
Not sure of the point here?
Jacob is an example of breeding animals. That would be Jacob! In Genesis 30, Jacob worked for his father-in-law, Laban, tending his flocks. He made a deal with Laban that he would take only the speckled, spotted, and striped animals as his wages. Using a unique breeding strategyJacob saw an increase in his flock, which led to his prosperity.

Eden was cultivated plants and domestic animals. NOT wild plants and animals. This has to do with the breath of life.
Ok, so? Since God PLANTED the garden and told Adam to keep it, of course it was cultivated
 
Again, read what I actually wrote and address the points I made. Have some integrity at least.
I will if you post a point. I do not recall any you made. I can see why you dance around the floor though. It won't go well for you if you actually spit it out and give it your best shot here. So you obfuscate.
No, you’re fallaciously begging the question. You’re assuming your particular interpretation of the text is correct and using that to conclude it is correct.
There is no question to beg. Pretending it is some 'interpretation' is meaningless when you do not explain some other supposed interpretation
So, your belief that the earth is around 6,000 years old is based on your assumptions about the text, and other texts presumably.
No. It is based on belief in Jesus and the Scripture He proved was true and said was true.
This underscores my point that the Bible is silent on how old the earth is.
WE do not need to know what time of day the earth was made. If we know the generations from Adam, that is close enough. No billions of years involved, or possible.
 
Falsely called science is wrong.
False religion is wrong also. It is all the same. Religion accepts same sex marriage. How can they accept that and still claim to represent God? I had a priest tell me God does not hate divorce. He died a year later. But I am still here telling people that God hates divorce.

Malachi 2:16 states:

"For I hate divorce," says the LORD, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence," says the LORD of Hosts. "So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith."
 
WE do not need to know what time of day the earth was made.
Day and daybreak are distinct because of how light interacts with the atmosphere. If there were a north pole you would have 6 months of day and six months of night.
  • Mean Solar Day – The average time it takes for the Sun to return to the same position in the sky is about 24 hours.
  • Sidereal Day – The time it takes for Earth to complete one full rotation relative to distant stars is about 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds

The Bible mentions "the perfect day" in Proverbs 4:18, which says:

"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."
 
False religion is wrong also. It is all the same.
No. Not all that is false is science. Not all science is false either.
Religion accepts same sex marriage.
Not true religion of God
How can they accept that and still claim to represent God?
They can't
I had a priest tell me God does not hate divorce. He died a year later. But I am still here telling people that God hates divorce.

Malachi 2:16 states:

"For I hate divorce," says the LORD, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with violence," says the LORD of Hosts. "So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith."
Unless priests or anyone else follow His word, their advice can be flicked off
 
Day and daybreak are distinct because of how light interacts with the atmosphere.
Not in Genesis. They are distinct because He made them that way
The Bible mentions "the perfect day" in Proverbs 4:18, which says:

"But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day."
Not sure what you thought that meant? In other words, the path of believers is more and more lit as we get closer to the day when we meet Jesus.
 
They are distinct because He made them that way
Yes the Bible is very clear about how God made the atmosphere and how that effects the light from the sun the moon and the stars. But most people do not know enough about the laws of physics to understand that. Too many people believe we can disregard the law and nothing can be further from the truth. Jesus came to forfill the law and to live His life as an example for us to follow. Matthew 5:17 reflect this idea: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." The Grace of God does a work in us so that we can be the people He is calling us to be.

Oh? Where are the verses about that?
But most people do not know enough about the laws of physics to understand that.
You thought people needed to know physical laws to understand that a Spirit created it all??
Too many people believe we can disregard the law and nothing can be further from the truth.
Not my problem or the topic here. I think the general idea is that we sinners came to Jesus for help and it is an ongoing work in progress.
Jesus came to forfill the law and to live His life as an example for us to follow.
Yet no one else in the world ever lived like Him who had no sin. They hopefully tried the best they could. The law neither saved anyone ever, nor was obeyed by anyone ever!
Matthew 5:17 reflect this idea: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." The Grace of God does a work in us so that we can be the people He is calling us to be.
Jesus in us is what makes us better
 
Oh? Where are the verses about that?
The Bible has several verses that describe how God created the atmosphere and how it affects the light from the sun, moon, and stars. Here are a few key passages:

  • Genesis 1:14-16"And God said, ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years.’" This passage describes how God placed the celestial bodies in the sky to govern time and provide light.
  • Psalm 19:1"The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork." This verse highlights how the sky itself reflects God's creation.
  • Jeremiah 31:35"Thus says the Lord, Who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night..." This verse emphasizes God's control over the celestial bodies.
  • Isaiah 40:26"Lift up your eyes and see: Who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name; by the greatness of his might and because he is strong in power, not one is missing." This verse speaks to God's role in sustaining the stars.
