Those who love their life in this world will lose it. Those who care nothing for their life in this world will keep it for eternity - John 12:25

I believe that many Christians don't believe the Genesis account because they have inadvertently turned human knowledge into an idol that they hold as having more authority than God's Word. The irony is that human knowledge in the form of science and modern medicine were thought to be what would bring health and longevity, but instead they are starting to bring sickness and sudden death. Human knowledge is always changing, God's Word is a sure, unchanging foundation. What a relief to have such a Rock to stand on in these wicked days.

I considered, believing it took billions of years to form everything, ie, evolutionary theory, takes far more faith to believe than Biblical Creation.

Satan keeps Genesis a myth and Revelation a mystery because he’s seen in a truthful evil light in both narratives.

I have come to believe Genesis is describing Who God is, who we are in relationship to Him. I don’t know if everything was created in a literal six days. I have learned that seven day ascenion to a throne for a ruler was a common practice in those times. A ruler built a temple and then there was a 6 day ceremony of dedication, on the seventh day he assumed control of the empire. God created the universe and everything in it. How He did it and how long it took simply doesn’t matter to me. I don’t think this Book was meant as a scientific textbook or a rule book. It’s a narrative by many authors about us and our Creators relationship.

wow. Great!

Evolution doesn’t need you to believe in it for it to be true.

Theistic evolutionists may want to meld these two worldviews, but they fail to see the foundational reasons one cannot be a Christian and believe evolution: 1) The redeeming sacrifice and resurrection of Jesus/Yahshua would be negated and completely undermined because death (present long before man's sin according to evolution and therefore not a result of man's sin) would not be the penalty of man's sin but rather God's preexisting tool used to create life. The penalty of man's sin would not need to be paid by a savior because it's not man's fault. Death was already here according to this worldview, and therefore necessary to further creation. 2) Related to the above point, but more specifically, scripture tells us sin entered the world through ONE MAN's sin, and THROUGH HIS SIN, DEATH entered the world (Romans 5:12). How can that be if theistic evolution is true, because evolution tells us that over millions of years and many generations and DEATHS, we arrived here. On one hand, scripture tells us sin came to the world before death. On the other, theistic evolution tells us that it's the other way around, that death came first, then eventually man evolved and chose to sin, which then brought more death. If death was already present before humanity was here, why is more death suddenly an affront to God's creation? We can't have it both ways. The two belief systems are completely incompatible. The Bible would be in error in literally hundreds of places if theistic evolution were true. Evolution is just another carefully crafted lie with the weight of the establishment behind it. There are mountains of scientific examinations that show how mainstream beliefs like evolution completely crumble through honest scientific scrutiny, common sense, reason, logic, and most importantly a solid grounding in scripture.

Science and religion are not mutually exclusive. From the perspective of scientists, religion as a rule deals in subjects that cannot be answered. Therefore the scope of religion lies outside the scope of science. It is perfectly acceptable to be a christian scientist. To those of you who are Christians, I posit this: if god created the universe, then science represents the laws written in his own hand. To deny science as a Christian is to put yourself above god, and to deny the laws of the universe that he wrote. And to deny science using Christianity as a basis is to spit in the face of god.

Many scientists today believe in God and the bible as it is written. When you stick to the provable facts, God stands up to scrutiny just fine. Evolution and billions of years is a religious belief, not science. No one can prove beyond all doubt how old the earth is and genetic research has already proven, we did not evolve from apes.

To find answer which not clarified for last several centuries... One easy way pause it now and By Following two laws of jesus Love God and Love all in your all life time is provide the answer once he wakeup you....

God created a molecule that you can’t see yet is over six feet long and billions of molecules, that fits into a cell that you can’t see but tens of trillions make up a body, and holds the entire instructions to make a person. Genesis 1:16 ….. he made the stars also.”

For the same reason most 'pass over' the creation of the sun, moon and stars on day three, all on the same day, after the Earth was brought forth..

This is a non-essential issue. Whether the earth was created in a literal 6 days or a figurative (considering Hebrews says that we are still on the 7th day, I'm not sure why the other 6 would be literal and the 7th not but whatever), it changes nothing.

@@lightningstock - If you are going to take Romans 5:12 to mean that physical death didn't exist at all before sin, you would have to take all surrounding verses literally such as Romans 5:14. However, when we look at this in context, it is clear that this is talking about spiritual death, the eternal separation from God. Context is quite important. Likewise, let's look to Genesis BEFORE the fall. "And God said, :et us make an in our imagine, after our likeness: and let them have DOMIONION over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth" (Genesis 1:26). The Hebrew word for "dominion" is radah and it means to subjugate and tread down. There is surely discomfort involved in being subjugated. This isn't a common word that appeared in scripture - it only appeared 27 times - but only twice was it used before the fall. It is used 25 times after the fall, often used to describe situations including death. We as humans were NOT created as immortal beings but rather designed to be companions to God and caretakers of His creation. If you look at Genesis 3:22-24, Adam and Eve were banished from the garden to prevent access to the Tree of Life which is what allowed perpetual life. If we were not created as immortal beings, why would other creatures of which we were given dominion have been created as immortal? So back to Romans. Again, when you look at it in context, death entering the world refers to spiritual death. Little critters with teeth that eat each other were created by God but not in the image of God. But again, this is a non-essential issue. Whether you believe in a literal 7 day creation or whether you believe that the creation story is told in a way that people throughout the ages would understand, it doesn't change that God created the universe and that the only way to salvation is by the repentance of sin and submitting to the sovereign authority of Christ.

There is no problem with agreeing with the genesis account, God is the creator…period. But we can’t take the view that science is bad. Physics is physics, there is no disputing that. We can disagree with theories that scientists come up with, yes without a doubt, but the principles of physics are a fact. Did God create the universe and the earth to appear old and test old? Why?

@@edisontrent618I should make it very clear for my next reply, I truly believe our God exists and he is our creator. The challenge I have with Dinosaurs is they are not documented in the bible impacting the lives of humans. There are references in for example Job to large plant eating beasts however we also know carnivores dinosaurs existed. Carnivores dinosaurs would have wreaked havoc on humans if they coexisted. Setting aside the scientific dating methods and considering the hypothesis that dinosaurs existed from the time of the Garden of Eden to Noah's Flood, the locations described in the Bible where humans are said to have lived are primarily in the Near East, particularly around the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which today flow through Iraq and parts of Syria and Turkey. In terms of dinosaur discoveries within this geographical context: 1. **Middle East:** Dinosaur fossils in the Middle East are indeed rare, but there have been finds in the broader region. For instance, in the late 1970s, dinosaur tracks were discovered on the ceiling of a cave in the Elburz Mountains of northern Iran, and other fossils have been found in Saudi Arabia. 2. **lNeighboring Regions:** If we expand the area slightly, dinosaur fossils have been found more abundantly in regions like North Africa and Central Asia. For example, dinosaur fossils have been discovered in Morocco and Uzbekistan. These locations are not directly mentioned in the Biblical narratives but are within the larger plate tectonic and paleogeographic regions that might be considered peripheral to the Biblical Middle East. Thus, if one follows the hypothesis that dinosaurs lived contemporaneously with humans as described in the Bible, there are indeed dinosaur fossils found in regions that are adjacent or close to those described in Biblical accounts. This suggests that if we were to align this hypothesis with fossil evidence while ignoring dating methods, one could argue that fossils in these areas could be seen as matching the narrative of dinosaurs co-existing with humans up to the time of Noah's Flood. However, carnivores dinosaurs would have destroyed human populations if they co-existed and this is not documented in the Bible. I am interested in others thoughts on this subject. My point is believe God’s word because his existence is the only reason our existence makes any sense, while using science to learn more about the world he created for you.

Because, for most of their lives, they'd been told that the bible is inerrant. But the entirety of actual evidence demonstrates that many claims of the bible are either self-contradictory OR incompatible with real-world evidence. So they feel compelled to re-interpret the bible to square the circle, so to speak. So they are trying to stick to the parts of the bible that have either not yet been proved wrong OR which have been sufficiently validated by credible lines of evidence.

My prodigal friend, to this point in your existence, your own conscience has maintained solidarity with your Father's voice, unpersuaded by your own most "formidable" libels against Him. With His every appeal for your penitent return, your quarrelsome retorts have not silenced the "Yes, and AMEN" of your soul's integrity. If your mortal appointment finds you spiritually dead "by your own hand", the gentle, patient chastening you thought worthy of a lifetime of mocking retorts must harden into a dreadful "emancipation": "Then the kings of the earth, the nobles, the commanders, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and free man hid in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains. And they said to the mountains and the rocks, 'Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to withstand it?'” What say you, would-be "free man"?

Okay, let's look at what we have here. It would be considered to be true and accurate that the world was created in seven days because it is simply, plain, and clearly written in the text. Now the chronology past that point, isn't as plain, and isn't as clear, and relies on the assumption that the amount of time that was mentioned for people after Cain and Abel is accurate information, and not diluted by differences or omissions in translation. Likewise till The Flood, Babel, Moses, Abram, and Christos. If that is accurate through all translations and can be directly measured, then yes, whatever figure you obtain would at least be internally accurate within the text, and things such as the year of birth and death of those individuals involved can be independently verified and supported by scrolls and writings other than the biblical text itself. You can't use the contents of a particular text, to "verify" the text itself. It must be established "independently".

So wait... A day. Define a day. Exactly what is a day? 23 hours and 56 minutes? Odd choice by God, but what exactly is that representing? How is that measured? One full rotation of the earth or the duration of sunrise, high noon, sunset, and midnight. All perfectly observable. So... If God created the Sun on the 4th day.... How was a day measured on days 1, 2, or 3? How did 23 hours and 54 minutes be deciphered without a sun? Most importantly, what is a day to God? Maybe, just maybe... We put God's creation in man's terms for simplicity. Perhaps we have confined His ability into our narrow minds to help spread His word in an understandable language? No? That's not possible? Why, in the Scripture, that's been translated multiple times, is only the book of Genesis and Revelations absolute? Is Leviticus to be ignored? Psalms? Luke vs John? Matthew vs Paul? Those inconsistencies are fine... But Genesis is COMPLETELY fact? Anyway... So the flood.. dinosaurs were killed... Ummm.. okay. But why were they buried thousands of feet below any trace of humans? Sometimes miles deep. No human remains at all among entire fields of dinosaur remains. The kicker is, why are not only humans missing from this layer, but not even one single flowering plant? No roses, berries, pollen, oaks, nor beech... Just not there. So... The logic is; the flood only killed specific dinosaurs and only specific plants, covered them in sediment that formed into granite, then killed completely different dinosaurs and different plants, covered them in sediment that turned to shale, then kill an entirely new group of dinosaurs and plants... then meters of barely anything, then small mammals only and a profuse amount of pollen, nuts, berries, and leaves... then large mammals, then entirely new species of plants and social insects, then finally humans.... In 40 days? Granite, hundreds of meters below the surface with cacti, ferns, and not a single seed nor even a fragment of pollen, were buried before coastal human villages. Ummm.. okay.. Not to even mention the radioactive burnt layer of the KT boundary where no dinosaurs are above and no humanity is below... So a radioactive fire happened in the flood... But it didn't kill a single human... AND not a single coastal human was found, but thousands of miles inland there's dinosaurs? How?!?! Only hundreds of thousands of dinosaurs, ferns, conifers, dragonflies, and reptiles. But no Maple trees at all. Not a single acorn or grape seed, or dandelion, or kernel of corn... but millions upon millions of renains above them. Umm... Ok.

When the earth reaches 7,000 years old we will again reach the year of Jubilee, and Yahusha will come home to a new earth, a new heaven and His bride. HalleluYAH! HallekuYah means praise Yah!

I love your videos on the flood, and I especially love your DVD "Is Genesis History?" But I do not adhere to your young earth teaching -- though I think you make the best case of anyone out there. My difficulty is understanding why so many Christians insist on 6,000 years when all of the scientific evidence is against it? God gave us His Word and He gave us science. They have to be in agreement. I don't doubt God created everything in 6 days, but I think Dr. Gerald Schroeder was right when he said they contain all the ages of the universe. At the big bang, it wasn't just matter and space that expanded, it was also time. If Schroeder is right that the expansion rate of the universe in a million squared, then what began as one second is now a million-million seconds. One inch is now a million-million inches. And so on. From God's perspective, it was 6 days, (6 literal days), but that was before everything expanded, and God is looking forward in time. We look back in time and see billions of years. If you take the age of the universe and divide it by a million squared, you end up with approximately 6 days. At the creation event, God is looking forward and sees 6 days. We look back. It is Einsteins long train. What you see depends on where you are. We have two different perspectives according to Dr. Schroeder -- God's and man's. That makes a lot more sense to me than insisting the earth is 6000 years old when Göbekli Tepe and the Tower of Jericho are both thousands of years older than that. Then there is the huge distance between us and distant galaxies and the problem of how much time it takes for light to reach us from those distant galaxies. One objection I get from people in the young earth camp centers around death, and they don't like the long time period because it brings up the issue of death occurring, but Adam named the animals -- and many of the Hebrew names were based on how the animals killed their prey. Adam was familiar with death. The threat of death would have meant nothing to Adam if he didn't know what it was. (I want to add that I do not believe in evolution. No matter how old the universe is, there is not enough time to accomplish it. It is nonsense anyway.)

God said "Let there be light." God didn't say "Let there be stars, and the light will get there eventually." If God wanted photons to suddenly exist and already have a vector of movement, then that's what reality would do.

Research this further. AIG and plenty of others make the information readily available. In fact, there are many reasons why creation CAN'T be billions or even millions of years old.
