I believe every word that is in God's word, the Bible. I believe in one Creator who is God the Father, God the Son (Who is my Lord Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. I believe that the Lord God worked miracles and continues to work them... and I believe that the Creation account in Genesis is nothing less than absolute truth.
This is my testimony and I stand by it, regardless of the names I may be called by people who do not know me. And what is also true is that I don't think that any human fully understands the whole Truth of the creation story, apart from my Lord Jesus.
I think that the way in which God did it is exactly according to the Genesis account, from God's point of view... an act that created an Earth millions of years old. I don't make God out to be a liar, and I don't think He made the earth to fool us, and I will not be party to any lie from the pit of Hell.
People argue over this like they were there and saw it happen. Not a one of us knows the truth of it like my Lord does, and being astonished at His act of Creation is one of the joys I look forward to in Heaven.
Bottom line? I don't claim to know things I don't know... and I don't think any of us is as smart as we'd like to think.
The Earth doesn’t appear millions of years old; it looks almost new. Landslides happen every day, and hills deep with clay soil are everywhere. If the Earth were just 10,000 years old, that would not be so.
A geologist that I work with often, mapping slides, says that the California coastal mountains cannot possibly stand another 1000 years.
I think DR Humphreys has it right in his Starlight and Time.
