The Bible does not say how old the earth is, but it clearly says the word "day" can refer to something other than 24 hours.
Only science tells us the earth is billions of years old. Of course, you may dispute that, based on your own personal interpretations of the Bible, but you cannot honestly claim that those interpretations amount to some form of "science."
"I would draw your attention to the same language, used their to clearly distinguish 24-hour days from general references to 'days'. Did you ever notice that light was created first, and that light is the only requirement for evenings and mornings? Sun and moon are not. The Bible clearly tells us 'evening and morning' are meant to indicate 24-hour days. You also deliberately ignore Exodus 20:11 where it is clearly stated that everything was made in seven 24-hour days. Your deceitfulness is quite transparent."
Nonsense. The Bible NEVER says each DAY of creation was exactly 24 hours long. It does clearly say that a day to God could be thousands of years. Indeed, until the end of the fourth day, light and darkness had NOTHING to do with a 24 hour solar cycle, because there was no sun. Those "days" could be any length whatever.
"Finally, it is clear that you only believe the Scripture to the extent you want, rejecting anything that doesn't fit your own personal beliefs. Just make up your own god, that's what you are doing anyway."
Nonsense.
Then you have failed to prove that the Bible says the earth is billions of years old. I also draw your attention once again to the clear statements of 'evening and morning' that completely destroy your 1,000 year 'days' and the clear genealogies recorded therein."
"Only science tells us the earth is billions of years old. Of course, you may dispute that, based on your own personal interpretations of the Bible, but you cannot honestly claim that those interpretations amount to some form of "science.""
Again, you are personifying science. Science does not 'tell' you anything. People who accept philosophical naturalism 'a priori' tell you this, not science. Of course, you may dispute that, based on your own personal interpretations of science, but you cannot honestly claim that those interpretations amount to some form of 'science'.
"Nonsense. The Bible NEVER says each DAY of creation was exactly 24 hours long. It does clearly say that a day to God could be thousands of years. Indeed, until the end of the fourth day, light and darkness had NOTHING to do with a 24 hour solar cycle, because there was no sun. Those "days" could be any length whatever."
Nonsense. The Bible ALWAYS says EVENING AND MORNING for EACH DAY of creation. It also CLEARLY relates creation week to a week of SEVEN 24-HOUR DAYS in Ex 20:11. You simply ASSUME that light and darkness had nothing to do with a 24-hour day even when EVENING AND MORNING are clearly noted.
"Nonsense."
