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.

[@heartsandmindsathome]

Thank you!

[@J.F.331]

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.

2 Peter 3:8 But do not forget one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day.

[@djsarg7451]

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?

[@davidbartlett6746]

Yes, all Scripture is given for our instruction that isn't the question. The question is; is Ken Ham's interpretation of Genesis fundamental for our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ? 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.

[@jeremias2975]

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. We know this, for this is not the only time the Lord has allowed an animal to speak: “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?” “Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long to this day? Is it my habit to treat you this way?” - Numbers 22

I guess that is why you CAN'T let it all be false... That would kill all of your dumb ideas and make you look like a fool... EGO makes you think like that, NOT common sense. I trust verified SCIENCE a lot more than an old book that was based on VERBAL stories, politically edited hundreds of times, and rewritten to fit the present more than once. SURE some of the settings and surrounding descriptions FIT with our timeline and geography, BUT everybody knows that for a lie to be good, it needs SOME bits of reality in it. The problem is ALL of those idiots, take the little bits of truth and believable accounts, and use that as some sort of stupid and ignorant proof that it's ALL TRUE!!! Now THAT is suspended disbelief in its purest form, because it's WILFUL!!!

💯. 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!

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.

[@EatPrayCrunch1]

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.

@einarabelc5273 You're just proving my point that some of y'all are incapable of understanding nuance and shades of gray. You can take Darwin out of it if you want and separate the concept from the person. What matters is that the biological concept is correct and provable. The scientific community has continued to only prove and improve on our understanding of evolution. Every dating system and continuous study of biology for the last 150 years has only solidified the fact that evolution is the law of constant change that ALL life on earth obeys. It is mind boggling and beautiful and continues to affirm my awe of the processes God set in motion. Science strengthens my faith!

I was with you until "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." 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 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.

Hugh Ross rejects catastrophism, such as the worldwide Flood. The rock layers were all laid down in the Flood. Despite Charles Lyell's best efforts to disprove the Bible with uniformitarianism, it did not take millions of years for those rock layers to form. Evidence against uniformitarianism: polystrate fossils, Mt. St. Helens, unfracturered bent rock layers, and lack of evidence for ancient bioturbation. I've also never heard Hugh Ross provide a satisfactory answer on how death, cancer, and thorns could have existed before sin (a heretical position to which he holds) without having to appeal to a non-biblical, non-scientific mythological tale.

Did God have to create the earth looking young? When the world first began it was in water. It was literally waste and God began to make it habitable but does that mean he made it look perfect?

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?

[@uncommonsense6295]

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.

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.

[@baine3388]

As a christian and being that I cannot blindly agree with a souce that has little to no credibility. I have to say Ken Ham is a terrible and completely non-scientific resource for the argument of creation. Ken Ham consistently and deliberately misrepresents scientific processes. He literally lies to try to prove his point. It is completely unacceptable and hurts the church far more than it brings anyone to Christ. Being that the majority of what he is saying is not backed by any peer reviewed articles he should be ignored outright. I personally do believe in creation I don't know exactly what that looks like. However I can say without a doubt that what Ken Ham is saying almost certainly is not an accurate representation of reality.

[@user-db9pi3rg9h]

I am not sure I totallt agree with Ken. He makes the claim that a day in our time is the same as a day to God. He exists outside time. So I'm not sure his argument against the belief that the earth is millions of years old is true. I think the two ideas cam be true at the same time.

[@J.F.331]

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.

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...

[@ChibiPanda8888]

I actually believe some of the water ones still exist today. I mean, look at Nessie and the megalodon, amongst other odd water creatures that people concoct conspiracytheories about. We haven't explored most of the ocean; there may be some species down deeper than we can get to right now that are unknown as yet to science.

[@theace8502]

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

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.

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.

What was your non-biblical reasoning for question the existence of 'dinosaurs (etc)' and what do you mean by '(etc)'?

[@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.

[@markpaladiy5748]

'My bike break down today. I create my bike.' Both context and terms tell us what (b) 'I create my bike' can normally mean in relation to (a) 'My bike break down today'. The same principle applies to Genesis 1, but NOT without regard for HEBREW grammar. Two examples are: 'darkness' in v. 2 being alike to 'darkness' in Exodus 19:9; Psalm 97:2; Job 3:1-9, 22:11-17, 38:9; Deuteronomy 4:11; and Psalm 18:11 and ancient Hebrew has no pluperfect verb (had, had had, had been, etc). Instead, ancient Hebrew relies, as some other ancients languages do, on universal Natural Knowledge to communicate or exegete the chronology of what otherwise would be a radically odd part of a chronologically straightforward narrative. This is because of three UNIVERSAL things: U1: Natural Language is a function primarily of the universal self-evidence of Life-affirming, Earth-affirming, Divine Design. It is not mainly or broadly a function of the idea of 'the logically possible.' U2: The nature of a chronologically straightforward narrative is that the first parts of the narrative semantically condition the latter parts, NOT the other way. U3: NORMAL, plain literal usage often may involve topical considerations without exactingly narrow regard for chronology.
