Romans 8
19. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed.
20. For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope
21. that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God.
22. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
groaning = sliding plates?
I generally don't post science on religion threads, and I generally don't respond to religion on science threads.
When is the last time you heard creation groaning?
Why interpret 'creation' to be the earth?
Why can't 'creation' be interpreted as man?
Would the writers of the Bible not have experience with volcanic rumbles and minor earth tremors?
If they have experience hearing and feeling tremors why would you interpret that as knowledge of tectonic plate movement? It is more likely they had no idea what the tremors were from.
