The Book of Genesis presents a disturbing problem for many Bible-believing Christians. Did God really create the heaven and the earth in just six 24-hour days? How does a serious student of the Torah - the five books of Moses - reconcile the Genesis account with the "billions of years" encountered in the dictums of astronomy, geology, et al?

So let me get this straight: You believe God created all the vastness of the universe and all the intricacy of life, but have a problem reconciling the scientific observation of billions of years with the biblical six days?

What a hoot. This is a thread for those who are both scientifically and biblically illiterate.

You are DEFINITLY right about the hoot!

But I think that ALSO, it is a thread for those who are both scientifically and biblically literate as well.

Let me explain.

It reminds me of the old story of the blind men inspecting the elephant, with each one proclaiming how the elephant MUST be: based on HIS limited observation.

It really depends on WHAT we are 'grasping' in our hands, doesn't it?

Just WHAT do we hold onto and proclaim THAT to be 'right' with the exclusion of all other viewpoints....

The author of the article and I agree with you.

However, being that the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church has left the door open for a Theistic Evolutionary model in order to reconcile the Bible with modern sciences "current" understandings, Chuck is compelled to use the Bible and Science to combat the misconceptions being propagated.

There are also many Christians, who feel that they would be intellectually dishonest to deny science's conclusions, which they realize differs from the Biblical account. So they have determined in their heart that they will take the scripture and wring out a twisted version, ignoring a multitude of very straightforward passages, drawing their information from non-Biblical sources such as Rabbinical commentaries, in order to claim they are a Christian before their fellow students, colleagues and family.

Dr. Chuck Missler has the credentials and the know-how necessary to put the myth to rest for those fence sitters who will choose to follow God's Word because it reliably speaks of the Creator of Science, with no contradictions in that regard.
