I believe in God and Jesus Christ. I believe the Bible.

I also believe we went to the Moon and came home safely.<

I ALSO believe in the science that says that the Moon rocks are 4 billion years old. How do I reconcile my seemingly inconsistent observations?

I can’t. And I’m not going to even try.

I see nothing inconsistent with your views regarding science and the Bible.

One thing that could be is that a “day” in Genesis can also be translated as a period of time - like the “day of the dinosaurs”.

I had one pastor that offered the possibility (although I don’t think it was his personal favorite) that God created the earth to “look old”. “When He created Adam, he did not create him as baby - he created him as a man, already grown and “old”.”

I don’t subscribe to that idea, but it is an interesting concept.

Science doesn’t “say”. Scientists say.

I understand, but then, how old would a fully grown man test to be the moment God created him? How old would he test after the Fall?
