That's true. Of course, the issue is can someone express doubts, or even disbelief, in events described in the first book of the OT that happened long before they were recorded, yet be a Christian.
I think yes, because what is required be a Christian is belief that Jesus is the Risen Savior and proved by following His commands, and this does not include allegience to a particular view of the age of the Earth.
Now think this through -- when you witness to someone do you argue the age of the Earth or do you describe how Jesus changed your life and delivered you from your sins?
"Now think this through -- when you witness to someone do you argue the age of the Earth or do you describe how Jesus changed your life and delivered you from your sins?"
Don't argue the age of the earth. I admit I don't know and will probably never know as our sampling is microscopic.
The OT can be traced back to original texts which still exist. Many of these are on hand in the vatican which for some reason never lets anyone see them.
You can either accept the research and documentation of thousands of biblical scholars or not. But if you start to question the bible as being fallible it opens the barn door. If the bible is fallible then who decides what parts are correct? Why should I believe some liberal "scientist" who is government funded any more than I should believe biblical scholars who are privatly funded.
The scientists are pushing this agenda ( as with Global Warming) to get more grant money.
