"After studying the bible in depth. The Bible does support a younger earth theory in my opinion based upon what the text states with consistency."

I have no basis to measure your depth, however Genesis 1:1 declares "In the "BEGINNING" God created the heaven and the earth.

We are not told when this "the beginning" was, nowhere in the Written word is there a specific time give. We however in place after place are given a glimpse about what occurred after the "the beginning", which in no way describes a young earth.

When was the devil created, and when did the devil decide he was going to be "god", and convinced a third of God's children he could be "god"? That happened according to what is written and it is no where described in the days of the clean-up of the earth and the creation of man in the flesh, described in Genesis 1:3.....

We have no idea exactly how long ago the beginning was, this earth is filled with evidence that it is not a young place. Only man in the flesh can be given an approximate date. By the way when were the souls created?

I was not trying to be argumentative, all I know is what God's Word states. His Word does not give an exact date, but from my own exhaustive study of scripture I tend to think the earth is younger than a zillion years old.

The Bible does state that:

In the beginning God created the HEAVENS and The Earth.
Gen 1:1

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts. By the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. Gen 2:1-2,

(to me this would indicate that the angels were created during this 7 day period). And yes I do believe in a literal 7 day creation based on the context of the text. The text does not indicate the exact moment Satan decided to go his way, but Job does give alot of details not only of this event but creation as well.

I have spent over a year studying the book of Genesis. Reading God's Word, cross referencing the text with other scripture. I believe every person should for themselves take the time to read it, meditate on it and come up with what they really believe. Before I did this I wasn't sure where I stood on Evolution, but I can say without a doubt...evolution is not compatible with God's Word.
