Huh? You mean you do not choose the <10,000 yo belief because of your faith?
I wish I had the book that described the Yale Study and all the elements that brought them to “the less than 10,000 yr old Earth” conclusion. The creationist who was promoting that point in link I gave was not part of the study at Yale, that I know of. I can’t find that study now, and Yale has a new geology department and they have a different mindset...
My college classes were a long time ago, so I had the original stuff taught to me, plus I took an oceanography course, as an elective, which covers a lot of it again in teaching the tectonic plates, etc. MY major was CJ, and I am not a scientific type but operate on common sense and rational thinking.
Does my faith enter in to it, and I guess it does due to my constant reading of scripture. I relate the “big bang theory” to God’s “speaking” the world into existance. I don’t put God in a box, and know that scripture is sometimes misunderstood.
I don’t use a KJV, because the NIV is closest to the original greek and hebrew giving a clearer understanding. We cannot understand scripture according to our culture and time, but must understand those who lived and wrote it according to the timeline and laws under which they lived. That doesn’t mean it isn’t relevant to today. I hope that answers your question?
