How old is the earth?...most people who actually study these things, estimate about 4.5 billion years old...

How do you square that with Genesis?

[andysandmikesmom]

I do not have to square it...if you want to believe that God used actual 24 hr days, a literal interpretation, that is your choice...I, and millions of other Christians, dont agree with this narrow literal interpretation...I believe God is outside of time as we think of it, He is not limited to our notion of hour, or day, or any other time frame...Gods time frame, is His own, unknown to us...

Now you will obviously disagree...so be it...

How do you square that with Genesis?

Simple. How long is a day to God?

And how can you presume to know?

Folks who feel threatened by the truth often protest too loudly.

I do not see why that concept is so repulsive to the evos. I have my suspicions as why it is.

God or my concept of God for this issue is beyond all time all physics etc., so it could have happened in 6 days as Genesis says it does.

I think the entire cosmos is by his will every single piece of time and space and beyond. (Prepare for the evo pixies analogy, they have some mighty heavy intellectual weaponry to draw from out of the collective quiver of all those mind working in unison LOLOL)

The evos readily glom onto the atheistic origin theories of the cosmos, and never question it when the 'physics might change' to keep the theories intact (gravity, light etc at origin of big bang) or adding other theories and permutations like string theory, weak/strong forces, more and more 'particles' in order to 'tie it all together'.

And then in the next breadth mock and ridicule any suggestion that their answers just might not be 'the answer'.
