"I will do as the holy spirit directs, the world is of indeterminable age."

Unless you now want to change terms and argue absolute precision, that's not the Holy Spirit telling you the world is of indeterminable age.

You are confused and fear the ridicule of men.

Looks like our roles are reversed, because I think he did it just like it says in Genesis. In 6 24-hour days. You think God must have done it any way *except* the way he says he did in Genesis. And you claim the you 'believe the Bible as written'? Funny.

Apparently you believe that smug "fears the ridicule of men", so you're going to ridicule him into line.

How many creationists don’t buy the “young earth” crapola?

Count me in!

You think that was ‘ridicule’?

Interesting...

Rather intersting that you don’t seem to.

Not as intersting that you do seem to.

That makes what will follow too predictable to be of any interest at all.

Ridicule from anyone are not, I will hold to the belief that the days described in the account of creation are from the perspective of where the creator was. The time frame in heaven maybe 24 hours long for all we know, but it may not be and probably is not. Just as I hold that the bible tells two different stories of the creation on Man. One on the sixth day and Adam and Eve on the eight day or later.

What preceded was too predictable to be of any interest at all. That’s why I reflected it back to you.

That's between you and God. Personally I'm inclined to hold a person's belief in and adherence to the Ten Commandments as a lot more relevant that their interpretation of Genesis.

The fact of your reply belies the content.

I'm not going to stress over the age of the earth or universe or any other trivial matter. Sure it's fun to discuss and explore but it has no bearing on my faith in God or the Bible.

The account of creation is not written from the perspective of where the creator was. It was never intended to be understood as indeterminate until *man* decided that the earth cannot be 6,000 years old.

Then the compromisers started coming out and perverting the word of God to conform to the opinions of men.

How many millions of years were there between the third day when the plants were created and the fourth day when the sun was created?

"Just as I hold that the bible tells two different stories of the creation on Man. One on the sixth day and Adam and Eve on the eight day or later."

Then you have to invent a mass die-off so that Eve can eventually be the 'mother of all the living'.

Genesis 3:20 - "Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living."

That's what happens when you start perverting the word of God.

You can't stop.

If all you want is the last word, take it. It’s yours.

If you wanted the last word, all you had to do is say so.

Go ahead.

Try believing what the Word of God says, not what you want it to say, and you’ll see who’s behind you.
