Everybody knows the earth is billions of years old!

Post by bibleman »

Pastor Dag Haywood Mills (with over 30 million books in print) says: "Everybody knows the earth is billions of years old!"

I agree!- You can't l know anything much at all about science, history, archology, geology and etc. (and of course the Bible) without knowing the earth is much older than 6,000 years old.

Dake said: "Why do we find geological evidence pointing to an earth that is much older than Adam's creation about 6,000 years ago? This is easily explained when we understand that the earth was created in the dateless past, underwent cataclysmic changes during the judgment brought about by Lucifer's rebellion, and was re-created about 6,000 years ago." Finis J. Dake.

The fault in Bible complications is not with God or the Bible, but with men who refuse to believe what God says and think we have to interpret what He says in order to get the meaning. Dake Bible -Mark 11:17 note

Some know the earth was made to look like it was millions of years old.
As Adam come into creation as a grown man, so too did the earth come into existence as a "grown" planet.

Some things come from observation of the world around us.
It looks billions(?) of years old, but was made 6000 years ago so must have started out fully formed by God.

The scriptures detail the life spans of some of the sons of Adam with their lifespans and when they brought forth their sons.
By doing the math one can figure out the time from Adam until those whose lives correspond to other written historical times.
Adam to Abraham, for example, and Abraham to Jacob's interactions with a known dated kingdoms...like Pharaoh's.
Then in Matt. 1 we have the list of Abraham's offspring until Jesus was born.
Using average life spans, a figure far less than "billions" is arrived at.

Without debating the specific years... YES you can get an approximate age from ADAM to when Jesus was born. I agree.

But the earth as you would agree was created BEFORE Adam.

So what passage of Scripture would tells us that the age of the EARTH is 6,000 plus/minus old?

As the bible says Adam was created on the fifth day, I see no "world" before the one created on the third day.
Had there been a world earlier, it wouldn't have been the third day.
God would have had it written that the earth was created on the 5,003rd or 10,003rd day.
So what passage of Scripture would tells us that the age of the EARTH is 6,000 plus/minus old?
There is none, but it is clear from the post Adam lineages that it is so.
Do you have a scripture telling us when the earth was really created?

No, there are no Scriptures that give a date on the creation of the Earth.

The Earth could be 6000 years old or 6 billion years old and either time period would not violate Scripture.

I see "day and night" as one day.
