No, the Hebrew word for “day” means a day. It is used throughout the Hebrew Scriptures to mean a day. No reason to make an exception for Genesis 1 use unless you are trying to twist it to submit to Darwin.
Sorry, no.
They had good control of fire at this point and had been cooking for a very long time.
I disagree and we are free to do so. Why would God use earthly dats that had not been created. Omnipresent, without time constraints is the power of God. Box God into your stopwatch all you wish. I disagree. We can agree to disagree. It is not a salvation dependent concept.
Physical Geology you can hold in your hand is impossible to be done in the time frame you propose from your source. There are is surmising or interpreting how long it takes to make slate. Or to create the Hawaiian/Emperor sea mount chain from the one and same static hot spot.
Not saying God did not create it, just making point that he did not do it in the time frame proposed and rumored by Hutton and others before him. But was there a flood? Absolutely... geology proves this to be fact also. Geology can indeed be used to also prove some events from the Bible.
But not a new earth... Fact dictates that it is impossible with the very real evidence at hand. It has grossly misinterpreted out of blind faith and the trust in words of other men.
No, because God created with age. For example He made Adam a full grown man not a zygote stage. He placed trees in the Garden. Not just seeds. Etc.
We can see plenty of rapid rock formation and plate shifting and other geological activities at a rapid pace, anyway. As for the most dramatic stuff the insane level of pressure and movement of the worldwide Noahic flood did extraordinary things. All marvelously and in depth explained at
the various creation sites. Let God be true and every man a liar.
I know professors at secular universities who are firm six day creationists. The physical sciences and the creation account are not at odds.
I think wholesale rejection of God’s clear Word in this subject may indeed be a salvation issue and I urge you to take God at His word. He cannot lie.
Gus! Gus, can I ask you a question? Come here, let me ask you a question, Gus? Gus, let me ask you a question. Gus, why's the fire so big? Why did you made the fire so big, Gus? Look at this, It's ridiculous, Gus. The fire's too big! Why? You come over every year, Gus and you burned down my backyard. WHY? I'm cookin' hamburgers and franks! I'm not cookin the brontosaurus burger in this. This ain't the Flinstones, Gus.
