Thank you for standing for the true authority of Biblical Word of God!!!

[@randomusername2761]

Every Christian who believes in facts (of which an earth that is 4-5 billion years and evolution are a part) is still standing for the 'true authority of Biblical word of God'. I believe that the theological teachings of the Bible are inerrant, but I don't think that God only used the genre of history. He used other genres as well and it is intuitively obvious that Genesis 1 is poetic--why did the majority of church fathers believe this if it is so blatantly wrong? Seriously, Justin Martyr, Theophilus of Antioch, Irenaeus, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Cyprian, Victorinus, Lactantius, Basil the Great, Ambrose of Milan, Augustine, all said that the six-day creation is figurative, and believed the earth was young only as a purely secular assumption, not through using the Bible.

@@jerryjohnson9531 in your logic then, the days could have been long periods after the sun and moon were made. There was evening and there was morning. The first day. What is morning?

Two major points here as a believer on the fence about this issue: 1) Is it really so difficult to reconcile a reasonable understanding of the most concretely evidenced mechanisms of evolution (natural selection + mutation) with the creation account? God created Adam and Eve, and the animal kinds. He equipped them with the genetic information to vary slightly over time. The phenomenon of natural selection and mutation added to this variation, but not to the point of full-blown extinction interspeciation. What’s the problem here? 2) I just don’t understand why we have to be so obsessed with the age of the Earth. Lord Jesus did NOT CARE about this at all. He did not mention it once. Nobody is “worshipping a false Jesus” or “conforming to the culture” because they make a rational inference from the evidence. Do you really think a person who worships and obeys God with all their heart is going to upset God with this? Is God going to say “Well done, my good and faithful servant, but you missed question #63 about the age of the earth. *Awkward silence* lol. Idk man.

Such as "in the day of our Lord." by saying it means a 24 hour time period undermines the context of the scripture by imposing our modern definition of what "day" is supposed to mean. Yom, in the context of scripture, is almost always translated literally to mean "a period of time," or in more specific terms, "a plural measurement of time." aka, WE CAN'T KNOW! And to claim that we do is putting the English translations above the original scripture. Make no mistake, none of the Bible was written in English. You can't take the English words as infallible, as can be attested by multiple versions such as what Mormons use and LDS. That's why it's so important to have proper hermeneutics. More importantly, whether one or the other position on the age of the universe is believed has no impact on your salvation. However, by claiming things that no respectable scientist believes to be true, it CAN cause people who might have believed to turn away. That means taking such an unsupported (scriptually and scientifically) position can have eternal consequences, but gains nothing in terms of salvation. Logically, it is counter productive to the great commission to believe in a young earth despite its irrelivancy on a person's soul. William Craig has lead many people to Christ with his ministry. And scripture warns us not to act like you are in this video by saying things like "watch out for that guy!" or "don't listen to that Christian!" regarding something that isn't heretical. ‭‭‭‭1 Corinthians 1:10, 17 "[10] Now I urge you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, that there be no divisions among you, and that you be united with the same understanding and the same conviction. [17] For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to evangelize - not with clever words, so that the cross of Christ will not be emptied of its effect."

I like such spirited support for the word of God and thank you Ken for the work that you do. However, we do have to think seriously about Genesis and stop being dogmatic about unatainable positions. 1. For example, we know that our *literal 24-hour day* is primarily determined by the rotation of the Earth on its axis. The Earth completes one full rotation in approximately 24 hours, resulting in a day-night cycle. However, the positions of the sun and the moon in the sky play important roles in defining specific time frames and creating various phenomena associated with our day. If there were no sun and moon, *our concept of a 24-hour day would not exist in the same way.* Yes, the rotation of the Earth would still occur, leading to the passage of time, but the precise measurement of a 24-hour day would lack external reference points such as *sunrise, sunset, or lunar cycles.* Our understanding and division of time into days, hours, and minutes have been influenced by the celestial bodies in our solar system, making them integral to our concept of a literal 24-hour day. Yet, *the sun and the moon* were created only on day 4 (Genesis 1:14-18)! Genesis 1:16 states: *"And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years."* So, please explain: *how, it is possible that day 1 to day 3 were literal 24-hour day, without the sun and the moon?* 2. According to Genesis 1:14, the sun and the moon were created *"for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years."* Therfore, please explain: how can we claim that *the light created on the first day (Genesis 1:2)* ALREADY divided seasons, and days, and years, but God needed to repeat the process in Genesis 1:14-18 to achieve the same purpose? Does that suggest that the first, second and third, etc.. *"days"* are literal 24-hour days just as the season, days and years signaled by the sun and the moon are? Is it not obvious for example that *"the day"* [and seasons and years] signaled by the sun and the moon in Genesis 1:14-18, is DIFFERENT from *"the light"* that God called *"Day"* and *"the first day"* in Genesis 1:5? How can one believe that all these are "literal 24-hour days? 3. Psalm 90:4 tells us: "For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night." And 2 Peter 3:8 tells us: *"But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."* If you believe these scriptures to be as true as Genesis is, please explain to us why God would have made day 1 to 5, NECESSARILY literal 24-hour days, even though no single human was on earth?

The problem is that the principles of uniformitarianism and cosmology are completely unfalsifiable.

The age of the earth is not a salvation issue. The gospel is a salvation issue. That is what is being attacked in culture. So, this must be our focal point. The preaching of the gospel.

[@deepwaters2334]

@@Uniq_Jer31vs33 Exactly... Jesus never cared what others in authority thought of him and continually rebuked authority figures like the pharisees. If they would rather speak things they know the Bible doesn't teach because they fear the consequences to their reputations, they won't inherit eternal life because their reward is on Earth and comes from the approval of humans, not in Heaven before God.

[@deepwaters2334]

@@Disciple793 The age of the Earth often is a salvation issue because evolution and old earth theories undermine the authority of God's Word, which in turn causes many who otherwise would believe (particularly young people taught evolution in school) to completely turn away from the faith because they consider the whole book to be mumbo jumbo if the Genesis account can't be believed. And if Genesis isn't real and God is not the Creator, why would anyone live according to God's Word? They want to believe the truth.... even if the "truth" that science in schools tells them is that they are made of mindless matter and have no eternal salvation. It is definitely one of the biggest reasons, if not the biggest reason, for the decrease in the number of born-again Christians in the US and other Western countries, especially in young demographics.

The truth is that no where in Scripture does it say that you can just add the ages of everyone given and get the age of the world. Scripture does not expressly say that all time is accounted for, or that all geneaologies are given. Therefore, you cannot determine the age of the universe by Scripture. That's the truth. I'm not arguing for theistic evolution or any scientific theory ... but if you want to rely on what the Bible *says* then ... you can't know the age of the universe.

To portray Craig as simply "a Christian leader" is to misrepresent him and what he does. He argues on *behalf* of Christianity, targeting primarily non-Christians, and I see nothing wrong with admitting the possibility of a non-literalism in Genesis as one might do of other books in the bible. Also, I love how you just assume that because *you* haven't seen the sort of children's book Craig is claiming to have seen, that he must be either making it up, distorting what YECs believe, or trying to make your side of the issue look stupid. I'm sorry, but I find this critique to be in extremely bad faith (no pun intended).

I agree with you. Now in the context of what Ken Ham is saying about William Lance Craig and NT Wright is fair? Now I don't agree with anyone who says that creation week is not literal! But is it fair to call them out like that? And make it appear as though they are apostate Christians?

[@jawdroppingbeautybyjulie61]

@@TheKeith567 I think if William Lane Craig trusts in Christ as His savior and has been born again by the Holy Spirit, then the truth will eventually be revealed, if he continues to spend time in reading God’s word. It is warranted to be concerned about someone with WLC’s influence affirming a belief that conflicts with the origin of sin, but I agree it would be unfortunate to totally dismiss him. He is an intellectual and scholar and sometimes, it takes a little more humility on their part to let go of what fellow secular scientists are claiming and totally lean on what the Bible says. If prehistoric animals were dying millions of years before Adam and Eve sinned, then death as a wage doesn’t make sense.

The bible doesn't have multiple meanings to it's chapters and verses. The Genesis account is clear. It is simple, so simple that a child can understand it. The French philosopher Blaise Pascal is quoted as saying the following: "God created man in His own image and man returned the compliment." Does the clay instruct the Potter?! Man has twisted and manipulated God's word to suit his own agenda. Cherry picking chapter & verse to fit in with his own model of living. God didn't pick the israelites to be His chosen people because they were great intellects. Jesus didn't pick the 12 disciples because they were great intellects. The intellects are the fools who do not see the simplicity of Gods word for what it is. Easy to read and understand so we can get right with living and trusting in God and not sinful man!
