Yes, one
would have to be stupid not to see the earth and universe are much older than 6,000 years!
What you are missing are the earth ages, the first earth age was when the dinosaurs were on the earth along with all the other fossilized remains that are million of years old that are unearth today! This earth age was destroyed by a great flood that completely covered the whole earth.(this was not Noah's flood)
Ages? Dinosaurs lived during the first age? What about all the life prior to dinosaurs? You do understand dinosaurs did not appear on the scene until about 3.8 to 4 billions years after the earth formed, don’t you? Are you saying none of these years count as ages?
The second earth age began about 6000 years ago.
Really? And you know this how? Anyway, the Hopi’s will disagree with you. Especially considering they believe we are entering the 5th World (age?).
Genesis1-2 The earth
was formless and void and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the spirit of
God was moving over the surface of the waters. The word "was" as used in this verse means, in the strong concordance dictionary "became". If it became formless and void, then it had to of had form and not void at one time!
The definition depends on who is doing the interpreting. To find the proper definition, it is necessary to apply science. We know the earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old, correct? Well, ironically, so is the rest of the solar system. So, if the earth is the same age as the rest of the solar system, the earth could not have existed prior to the sun or the rest of the planets that make up our solar system. Therefore your interpretation is incorrect. The word is more accurately interpreted as,
to come into being. See Strongs 1961 in the Hebrew Lexicon.
In Job 40-15 it speaks of very large beast or dinosaurs at this time in history.
Uh, no, Job does not speak of dinosaurs. Once again this is a matter of interpretation.
Lets move on to the second earth age now, 6000 years ago
God created the adamic man and told him to go and replenish the earth and subdue it. Here is another clue (replenish). Bring it back to having life on earth!
Uh, no, your clue is wrong and your interpretation is incorrect. The word
replenish as used in Genesis 1:28 literally means,
to fill the land. It does not mean to start over. See Strongs 4390 in the Hebrew Lexicon.
This brings us up to the present day, but first lets talk about creation, it took 6 days to create the heavens and the earth and he rest on the seventh. A day with the Lord is as a 1000 years and a 1000 years is as a day. 6000 years ago (or six days ago) he created the 2nd earth age, and now we are coming to
the end of this earth age!
Uh, no, the Bible does not claim 1000 years is a day to
God. It specifically states,
one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The key word here being,
as, which is more accurately interpreted as
like. See Strongs 5613 in the Hebrew Lexicon.
And the word
day as used in Genesis does not literally mean a one 24 hour day. Nor does it mean 1000 years. The age of the earth alone disproves this notion. The correct definition is
period, as in,
long periods of time. Or rather,
a long division of time.
The third earth age is now getting ready to begin with the seventh day of rest or the 1000 years of peace here on earth
after Christ returns to establish his kingdom here.
This is your statement of faith which I am in no position to question. This is not the same as truth.
Science and the bible go hand in hand, Science only proves that the bible is correct,
Uh, no, they do not go hand in hand nor does science prove the bible. In fact, science has nothing to say about the bible! Not even applied science! Any science that you believe proves the bible is known as pseudo-science. This is not the same as real science.
To say that there is
no God is very foolish and not wise to do!
Why and why? Care to prove
God exists?
There are a lot of unanswered questions that we will not know until the time is right. Do you really think that the earth came about by accident? NO WAY!!!
You’re correct, the earth is not an accident! It formed from stardust in accordance with the laws of physics. No big secret there!
We are here for a reason,
Really? Are we to assume you know the reason?
Study that you may be found worthy to enter into the kingdom of
God and have eternal life.
This is the reason? Sorry, been there, done it. If there is a
God, then it is for all people, regardless their faith, or lack of. And if there is a heaven, it is there for all people, regardless their faith, or lack of. And if there isn’t, then we’ll never know!
Science only proves the bible, but there is so much more than just science!
Show me one piece of scientific evidence that proves the bible. All you need is one.
Every prophecy spoken of in the 66 books of the bible have came to pass!
Uh, no, they have not! Or are you going to tell followers of Judaism that they lie and don’t know what they’re talking about?
What are the odds of just one coming to pass, billion to one.
Well, considering they haven’t all come to pass, I guess we’ll never know!
No, my friend this is no accident, it is real!
That’s right, it is no accident, nor is it real. It is simply a matter of interpretation. An interpretation the Jews say you have wrong.
May
God bless you all with health and plenty.......
Why, thank you! I never turn away a blessing. And in case you’re wondering, I’m a believer in
God.
