Evidence of rapid gem formation in California clashes with the old earth model but supports the biblical timescale and a young earth.

The biblical timescale doesn't necessarily support a young earth..
Say this from studying the original translation of genesis..
Shalom.
 
And old earth doesn't necessarily disagree with the Biblical timescales.. there was most likely an earth before Adam..
 
Search the words; tohu wa-bohu.. :))

are you gap? - if so is the basic gap principle that since the earth became chaotic and desolate - tohu va bohu - that there was a first creation on the earth and we are the 2nd?

Exactly.. that is what i believe. And it fits with science too.
The world is not almost 6000 years old. Doesn't make sense to me to be honest with you:)
Many more scripture support old earth than young earth i think..
I could name a few if you want me to... but i do understand and have some respect for the theory and for example the Australians "answer's in genesis"
Wrong on this point tho, i believe ..

Shalom
 
If it was so, that earth was young and the Bible has no other meaning than a literal meaning.. would that mean that the rest of the universe was created under 6000 years ago? ?

would be interested in scriptures that say we are the 2nd creation and why we are the 2nd creation and scriptures that say this creation is older than 6000 years

I haven't studied this deeply and I am just expressing my personal opinion just to make that clear..

I mainly base my opinion on having read the direct translation of Genesis 1: 1-2
... And it was void.. correct translation of the word "tohu wa-bohu" being translated became instead of was.
So; the world became void...

Other scriptures emply this. For example when we read about satan before his fall.
Talks about him having a kingdom where he reigns..
Ezekiel 28
Isaiah 14
To name a few...

Hope this helps you.
Shalom.

I would recommend reading or YouTube Billye Brim on this subject. She is a safe and good Bible teacher that has studied the Bible and Hebrew in depth..

so the scriptures about Satan/Lucifer having a kingdom on earth before we were created are Ezekiel 28:11-19 - and Isaiah 14:12-21?

this video?

As good as any by her. Watch the and see.
A safe guide on any subject. Especially on this.

Those scriptures was the ones i found on a short notice.
I think that they may imply a world before Adam.

But i would rather you listen to Brim as an expert. Than me. As she knows a lot more and is a safe guide on the scriptures.

listened to them before i posted them - thanks for the info
 
My pleasure. I hope they were helpful and giving. I am shur of it:)

if this info is true that would mean the earth may be old but the 6 day 2nd creation is still 6000yrs old - not a product of millions/billions/trillions of years of evolution of man from primordial ooze

I also believe in the gap theory. Funny thing is that I came upon this belief without the help of any other "gap theorist" it was 3 years before I found out that other people had already found it and named it. I had an issue with dinosaurs and where they fit in most christians account of creation and the inability to answer my questions led to me considering atheism. The scientific evidence ofcourse led me back to God and years later the bible led me to the gap theory.

My basic summary of it is that God makes everything perfect and darkness in the bible is always a result of sin. So the state of the earth in Genesis 1:2 is the result of judgement. Isaiah and Ezekiel do give an excellent reason for this judgement. Basically Satan used his position to cause a rebellion on earth. Jeremiah 4:23 and a few following verse seem to actually describe this judgement. I say that because I do not find using the same language as genesis 1:2 a coincidence.

But I am willing to try and answer any questions that you might have.

i guess one question - the earth is old - the first creation of angels who inhabited the earth is old too? - and the 6 day creation (creation of man and the present earth is young (6000 yrs)?

Yes. The Bible is talking about what is relevant. The second creation is. Like you say, almost 6000 years old.
Or in the eyes of God 6 days...

Shalom
 
listened to them before i posted them - thanks for the info
So did you her something out of them?
She has some better and longer videos, where she goes more into details.
These videos are somewhat short. But does explain the basics of this topic.
She doesn't stray from the Bible. She study's it and understand it correctly.
i guess one question - the earth is old - the first creation of angels who inhabited the earth is old too? - and the 6 day creation (creation of man and the present earth is young (6000 yrs)?
Two different era's of life on earth.
Post Adam and after Adam. Yes.
It makes sense. It is clearly implied and even proven by the Bible.

It also fits with science. And has more common sense. Than any other theory or interpretation out there.
Like Answers in genesis who believe that the Bible is all literal.
It is. But also is layers of truth. With truths that is found by revelation only.

Shalom

In short yes. The inorganic material, (rock stone earth and water basically) is the same as the old earth. So fossils and geological rock layers would be from before the six days, while life is created within these six days. This would also mean a much more catastrophic world wide flood than Noah experienced. The results of which would be more inline with the massive dinosaur deaths than Noah's flood.
