💯. If we are limiting God's creation ability and time frame to Earth days...our understanding of the vastness of God is way too small. There are 8 planets and 5 dwarf planets (that we know of)...and the length of each planet's day is different. And that's just *our* solar system. The current count of solar systems in our Milky Way galaxy is 3200. And that's just in our galaxy. The current estimate for numbers of galaxies in the observable universe is 2 trillion. And that's just the amount of the universe humans have been able to observe with space telescopes. Who knows how enormous the whole universe actually is! Sooo, it's kind of arrogant for us humans to think that God's creation abilities are limited to only the tiny little microscopic speck of space dust that is our planet. The universe is infinitely large and infinitely small... and therein lies the unfathomable power of God. For me, the more science I learn, the stronger my faith becomes. It is all just so beautiful and complex and awe-inspiring! Lets not put God in a tiny box!

The age of the earth has always been a debated topic in the church. To say that this debate is a result of modern science or Darwinism is just not true. St. Iraneus (whose mentor was taught by John himself), Cyprian, and Origen are all examples of churchmen who openly taught that the first few chapters are to be interpreted figuratively. But they all also believed in a literal historical Adam and Eve. Old earth creationism isn’t new in the church. Nor does it require one to abandon the literal history of genesis 1-11 which comes to us in a figurative genre of literature.

You are absolutely right. I have adopted the Old Earth view taught by Dr. John Walton and the late Michael Heiser. The position is that Genesis 1 is about God assigning functionaries to His creation and not absolute material creation. God indeed created all things materially yes, but Genesis 1 is not talking about that. All material creation would have been created before Genesis 1. This view is understanding the Ancient Near East’s perspective of how the ancients understood the cosmos. All of them (even ancient Israelites) were less concerned about the material of something, their concern was whether something functioned properly. For example, today, we see the sun and say it is a star, made up of gases etc… but to the ancients, they didn’t care what it was or what it was made of, all they cared about what that it was an entity that provided light, heat, and somehow allowed their crops and livestock to thrive and flourish. That’s why in the prophetic writings the sun being darkened or the stars falling from the heavens was not to be taken literally but symbolically to refer to the fall of a nation or the fall of the political leadership of that nation.

Day is not the same as 24 hours, not in the past and not today. The earth is not 6,000 years old and the Bible does not teach this. Hebrews 4:9-10: "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his." This tells us that the 7th day has not ended. Thus day 7 is a long time span, thus day 1 to 6 must be a long time span. Each believer are to enter into day 7. Also there no "evening and morning" for the 7th day. As day 7 as not ended. Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish. This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context. Day - yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, but the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans thus literally is: Sunrise to sunset Sunset to next sunset Time period of unspecified length. (long time span ). We use the word day the same today: In my grandfather’s day cars did not go very fast. Deuteronomy 33:15 and Habakkuk 3:6 "ancient mountains". The events of day 6 can not have happened in 24 hours. Have you entered into the 7th as Hebrews 4:9-10 asks you to?

It is not, what would be fundamental is that we are fallen creatures in need of Savior that God the Creator promised in Genesis and revealed in "Moses and the prophets". Recognizing this we must repent and place our faith in this Savior to cross the gap spoken of in your referenced passage. Additionally, that passage which is full of figurative language and literary devices might not be the best passage to refer to in arguing that Genesis could not possibly use figurative language and literary devices in providing a historical narrative.

Hello @@davidbartlett6746 I believe every Christian will be received in heaven, each with his own level of faith and with a number of mistakes committed in deed, word and thought, as we can see even Job had to be corrected by the Lord in Job 38. I believe we also will be judged by the Lord, not for eternal condemnation, but for correction, to be humbled and more thoroughly informed of what the Lord expects from us: “So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.” - 2 Corinthians 5:9-10 I want to argue that there is no good reason for believers to not believe what is written in the book of Genesis. Are we going to abandon faith in miracles, just because worldly people mock believers? I hope not, for that would be lack of faith and cowardice. Is it impossible for a snake to talk, just because the unbelievers of the world think so? No, it is not: a possessed serpent or Satan taking the form of a serpent could indeed talk.

I am both a Christian and a science scholar and I am just continually disappointed in Christians' inability to see and understand nuance. Science proving that the earth is 4.6 billion years old and believing the creation account in Genesis is hyperbole does not all of a sudden mean there is no God and no creation. This digging in heels and insisting Genesis is literal and that the earth is only 6000 years old is the worst case of putting God in a box I've ever seen. To use the same argument back...how do you know the earth is 6000 years old...were you there? Carbon dating and other forms of dating things is not based on belief. It is based on empirical evidence that can be tested and proven over and over and over consistently. Thinking that the earth is only 6000 years old is *really* limiting what we think God is capable of. The evidence continues to prove over and over that the earth is 4.6 billion years old, and that the universe is 13-26 billion years old. This fact is so mind boggling that it makes me even more in awe of God and the vastness of God's incredible creation! Just thinking about it affirms and strengthens my belief God every time. It just gives us a tiny glimpse at the vast capabilities of God that surpasses all human understanding. When it comes to evolution...same thing. Carbon dating *proves* consistently over and over that life on earth has exsisted for at least 3.7 billion years. Darwin certainly didn't get every detail right, but he got the big picture right. Darwin was Christian until around 40 when he became agnostic. But he was never an atheist because he recognized it takes just as much faith to not believe in God as it takes to believe in God. But he did not have an agenda, he was just observing and recording what was. Yes, evil people through history have used natural selection as an excuse for committing horrendous atrocities. But the thing is, those people were performing *intentional* selection...NOT natural selection. No one takes *everything* in the Bible literally. Anyone can basically provide passages from scripture to argue pretty much any contradicting points they want. To really find meaning in the Bible, you have to read it according to the context of the various eras and cultures the books were written in. We have to use both the faculty of reason God gave us, and read with discernment. I think it's fallible to believe the Bible is infallible. It may have been inspired by an infallible God, but it was written by fallible humans. The measuring stick I use when reading scripture is the character of Jesus. If it aligns with His teachings, it is likely from God. If it contradicts His teachings, it is likely from humans. Science does not disprove God's existence at all! Science just helps us understand the unfathomable complexity of God's creation. It explains the "how" ... but our faith explains "why." These things are not contradictory. Science helps us understand the incredible systems God created and set into motion. I believe God absolutely has a hand in all these processes, including the slow processes of geology and evolution! The sooner we can get rid of this false dichotomy between God and science, the better.

Scripture claims infallibility and describes inspiration as fallible humans only writing what an infallible God told them to write. Certainly the writers were fallible, but not when they penned the Scriptures because Scripture is God's Words not theirs. Your measuring stick places the decision of what is infallible on fallible man not an infallible God. If Scripture is written by fallible men then how do you know that "the character of Jesus" is correctly portrayed? Certainly, we as fallible men can make mistakes in interpretation, but that doesn't change the infallible character of the Scriptures; it just highlights our own shortcomings, e.g. fallibility.

@@thomaslove6494 The "bible" that was in existence at the time of Jesus (1st Century) was what we would refer to as the Old Testament, and though we do not have a complete "bible" we do have portions contemporary to and proceeding the time of Jesus in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Additionally, even though the earliest copy of the complete New Testament we have is a few hundred years after the time of Jesus there are manuscripts of portions of the New Testament that are much closer. Further, scholars, secular and religious, date the writing of many of the books through internal analysis to within decades not centuries of Jesus' death. Admittedly, that does not prove the infallibility of Scripture, however it does provide strong evidence that the form of the New Testament if changed from the original is slight and not a corrupted, unrecognizable copy of the original, similar to your analogy concerning Jesus' image. BTW, the Bible doesn't really describe Jesus' appearance nor do we have any pictures, so the European Jesus is simply a creation of man from whole cloth, and not a corrupted copy of a past image.

I’ve been listening to Ken Ham since I was a little kid. I appreciate him and his work, however I’ve come to believe he is wrong to tie 6 day creationism to biblical inerrancy.

He would do well to acknowledge that there ARE actually plausible alternative interpretations that uphold the integrity of scripture and are intellectually rigorous (not that I necessarily believe them), and a six 24 hour day creation was not what the church held to for most of its history.

As a science teacher at a Christian School, most of this information I've already studied and nerding out about. This discussion doesn't even scratch the surface of what topics i see being debated in the comments. The documentary "Is Genesis History?" By Del Tackett is another great resource if people are looking for more scientific proof about a world wide catastrophic flood. Answers in Genesis is a great resources that covers so many topics of devate such as the Ice Age and animal movement after the flood, speciation of the kinds of animals, dragon legends, Native American Petroglyphs of dinosaurs found in Utah and Arizona and so much more. Can't wait for part 2!

It's always funny how beLIEvers justify something they can't evidence and try to cite some sort of misunderstanding of the science. The question is this: How did the educational system fail you so badly that you ignore facts? There was no global flood during the time humans existed. This is not a debatable thing, it's a conclusion drawn from the LACK of ANY scientific evidence that a flood happened during this specific stage in time. The lack of a cogent definition and the lack of a qualitative model shows what this is about. Simply, this is people wanting to beLIEve despite the facts.

YEC theology was one of the concepts that I found so repellant about evangelical Protestantism that I spent close to a decade of my life rejecting Christianity outright. Thank God I found Orthodoxy, where the church does not take a dogmatic position on how to interpret Genesis. You can believe in YEC if you really want too, but its not a requirement to receive God's grace through the holy mysteries (sacraments) of the church. Speaking of Genesis and sacraments, can someone explain how it is that Protestantism, particularly American Evangelical Protestantism, gets so preoccupied with a strict literal interpretation of the creation account in Genesis, but when Jesus Christ himself makes explicit mention of things like the sacrament of confession, the Eucharist, fasting as a form of spiritual discipline and a regular part of Christian life, everything all of a sudden becomes a metaphor about grape juice?

I love Ken as a brother, but I respectfully disagree with most of this. I am at least very appreciative that he finally has clarified that Old Earth Creationists (OECs) are indeed Christians, contrary to what he has implied before in previous discussions and taken some heat for. He stereotypes OECs as purporting "I don't believe Gen 1-11 is literal because evolution says so". He doesn't share the actual primary reason behind many of these Christians' belief in OEC, which is not the science, but rather analyzing the literary genre of Genesis so that we can do a correct hermeneutical reading of the text. In the video, Ken says "why do people take Gen 1-11 in particular [as allegory], and why not other parts of Scripture?". Well Ken, Christians DO actually take other parts of Scripture non-literally. Revelation is apocalyptical imagery, the Psalms are poetry, the prophets are highly hyperbolic, and the parables in the gospels are not to be read literally. He makes it sound like Christians take all the rest of scripture as woodenly literal too! How Ken "missed" this basic fact of biblical hermeneutics is astounding. What he needs to do is provide reasons, from the Scriptural text of Genesis itself, for why he classifies Genesis 1-11 into the literary genre of literalistic historical biography when more than 1/3 of the Hebrew OT is not in this genre. The Bible is not a scientific textbook. It's purpose is not to teach us a botany lesson on mustard seeds being the smallest of all seeds (Mark 4:31), that the Sun revolves around Earth (Psalm 104:5, etc), that a literal dragon will walk onto the land (Rev 13), or that snakes and God both once walked around on legs (Gen 3:8-13).

When in the Psalms it says God owns the sheep on a thousand hills, does it mean the sheep on the 1,001 hill belong to someone else? The ancient Hebrew word for day is Yom. It was routinely used in the Bible for a 24 hour period, for the daylight part of that 24 hour period, and for longer periods of time (...and in that day...). Nothing requires anyone to believe that the Creation took six 24 hour days except the presupposition by young-earth creationists that the English word day in their modern Bible only has one meaning. It doesn't. Ancient Hebrew had about 3,000 words other then 3,000 words for proper names. Bible ignorance and willful resistance is what forces a few people to demand a six 24 hour definition of day in Genesis.

I'm a creationist and have heard and studied this stuff a bit. I think I've heard that the Pangea did actually exist, but the flood somehow broke it apart. Perhaps it was the tectonic plates moving when the waters came up "from the deep," but it broke apart either during or shortly after the flood. Don't quote me on this because I'm not a scientist or anything, but I think that's what I've heard from AIG and other creationist sources.

I used to believe dinosaurs were non-existent because of what darwinism did with them and the whole Creation timeline, but in the end, they did exist, and the Bible even mentions some of them: leviathan, behemoth, Jonah's great fish, the great sea creatures of Genesis, and according to Hebrew understanding of Genesis, some animals were actually "great animals" you would translate as "dinosaurs" nowadays...

You clearly don’t understand what dinosaurs are, because none of those besides perhaps Behemoth could actually be describing a dinosaur. No dinosaurs, I’ll repeat, NO DINOSAURS were fully aquatic or marine. Ichthyosaurs, Mosasaurs, Thalattosuchians, and Plesiosaurs/Pliosaurs were NOT dinosaurs. And I’m not sure why they’d be called a “Great fish” since they’re not even remotely fish in any way, shape, or form. Also would like to point out that all of those are the names for individual animals, not entire species or “kinds” or whatever. An individual creature called Leviathan, an individual called Behemoth, etc etc. Also, last point, Leviathan was a multi-headed sea serpent, and again Jonah’s great fish was a fish (or maybe a whale but referred to as a fish for some reason). Neither could possibly be describing a dinosaur, in fact, no descriptions of ANY animals in the Bible could possibly be of a dinosaur (unless they are describing birds). It takes dishonesty and purposeful ignorance, as well as gigantic leaps in logic and interpretation, to think any of these things could be

@xbriannaxbananax

@@saynotoh2o747 my non-Biblical reasoning was just the realization that a lot of science taught as facts was actually just theories. Specifically, I watched a documentary called First Man which was about neanderthals etc, all the different iterations of humans from which we supposedly descended, and in that documentary they said (paraphrasing) "...and it was around this time that laughing was developed." And I was like how on earth could they have determined THAT from ANYTHING archeologists have uncovered??? Granted this was one documentary but it's what really made me start questioning everything else I've been taught by "scientists" and "experts". Look at the last three years for another example. People, whether it's scientists, teachers, textbook authors, or just lay people, tend to present things as facts when they have no clue what they're talking about. Look at the food pyramid we were taught in the 80s and how that has been turned on its head. Science can change, new discoveries are made. But there is a lack of humility, generally speaking, when things are presented. I was taught Darwinism in school. I think it's impossible to accurately date anything as X million or X billion years old. I understand it's based on formulas based on short term evidence that you factor out to make an educated guess for long term time - but that's all it can ever be: a guess. So what I mean by "etc" is carbon dating, the age of the earth, the age of the universe, the iterations of mankind, and while we're in the topic, how long it will take plastic water bottles to decompose. They say 500 years but plastic hasn't been around that long so fact is there is NO way to know beyond guessing. But do they have the humility to disclose that part? No. It's presented as facts. And most people don't even question it. Infuriating.

I looked around the internet and found a few christian biblical archaeology sites that said that these were giant mammals that have now become extinct. They said they were not dinosaurs as dinosaurs existed millions of years ago. They then went on to say that God re-created the earth in Genesis and that there could already have been an earth with some life form existing before that.

...if you've never seen one before.

I've studied Ken Ham's work and others for years. It seems to me that understanding Genesis for the obvious literal historical account it's meant to be, vs saying "there's no way the Earth is that young, so clearly we have to read Genesis as metaphorical", is the same dichotomy as atheism vs Christianity as a whole. You can't prove either... but archaeology, astronomy, biology, and science as a whole is pretty clearly on only one side of this. You can believe whatever you want because neither can be _proven..._ but if you read into all the science literature you can find about the age of the Earth, it's just obvious that it lines up with Genesis as a literal historical account. Most people nowadays just find that hard to swallow because they've been taught Darwinian evolution in school from before they could even read and write.

Can you cite the peer reviewed scientific paper that cites the Earth is 6000 years old? Because if you trace back lineages and take Genesis as a "literal historical account", it comes out to be about 6000 years old. Kind of puts a wrench in the idea of digging up fossils of animals that lived millions of years ago.

Ken Ham is not a scientist.

I am subscribed to this channel because Allie usually does such a great job. Unfortunately, this episode is cringe worthy because Ken Ham may actually be causing harm to the Kingdom by telling people (including non-believers) that the Bible says something that the Bible does not say. The Bible does not say that the earth is fixed, flat, or young. We know for a fact that all of these beliefs are mis-interpretations because 100% of actual observable science (true science is the examination of Gods creation) proves that the the earth has no foundation, it’s shape is round, and it’s age is old. I could write for hours on this subject because there is so much biblical evidence in addition to the actual God given natural evidence. For the sake of time, I’ll just make one comment. Genesis ch:2 is a more detailed account of the end of creation day 6 of chapter 1. Anyone using good hermeneutics while reading Gen 2 can not honestly come to the conclusion that all the events described there happened in the last few hours of a 24 hour day. The chapter would literally make no sense interpreted that way. The first words Adam said after seeing Eve for the first time was, “At long last!” Does it make sense for Adam to make that statement if ALL the events leading up to Eve’s creation took only a few minutes at the end of a 24 hour day? Of course not! Lastly, I was trained to believe the same as Ken and Allie regarding earth age but I finally gave it up when I examined actual biblical and scientific evidence. I pray that Ken and others who teach this false doctrine will repent soon so that non believers can see that true science is the examination of God’s creation, and we know that God is not trying to fool us with his creation that screams old.

And *Most Importantly* Ken clearly said that he does not think this issue is a factor in Salvation. He can challenge your View on that but he’s not saying you won’t make it into heaven on it. Does it cause Christians to think, yes, but should it cause them to stumble, no. All those who have faith in Jesus Christ will find out when we meet our Lord. Hope it helps.

Melodramatic at best- you're emotional speil was a comedy. He's never called the earth flat- so you're a liar and a drama seeker. Where's your science ? Even Lucy was hand crafted from crushed bones and included a baboon bone. You have no science that was not hand drawn squiggles.

Just re-watched this and caught something he said that I didn't think about before. He talks about all these supposedly lukewarm believers who don't question any aspect of the Bible except the creation account, an then they start to demur and try to make it fit into man's understanding of the universe. This is a big problem for him. But honestly, I would totally spin it around on him. There are a plethora of natural processes and phenomena that humans have, through our use of scientific enquiry, come to at least have some semblance of an understanding of. Having this knowledge does not shake our faith as Christians. Why is it that this one particular subject is so threatening to his faith, that he says we must all refuse to acknowledge any scientific understanding of it. What is he and YEC believes so afraid of?

Well, still not convinced, but he gave a reasonable explanation about the ark, flood, and "kinds" of animals, and extinction of animals. Interesting to hear about the post flood ice age. Would like to hear about that more indepth

B) the light that comes from the moon is NOT the same as the light that comes from the sun. Yes it is reflected but it is changed by the moon in terms of wavelengths. C) The Moon DOES create light - gamma rays - and it does so by its interaction with cosmic waves not simply because of the sun. D) Genesis thousands of year ahead of modern science indicates that light is distinguishable from its source. - we came to realize this though the discovery of photons. We see this in genesis day one when light - photons are created with no reference to a source. TO this day we say "moonlight" because that light is coming from the moon not because we think its source is in the moon alone. Therefore its pedantic nonsense to claim the bible cannot use the same terms we still use today... and no the word moon nowhere appears in genesis one. Genesis one is concerned with what people see on earth not the originating source ( day one doesn't even have a source).
