What is true is of the Lord, since the Lord is Truth.

We believers were able to accept the earth-shaking idea that the earth does not literally have four corners, and that “the sun stood still” for a certain period of time or moved back so many degrees in the sky does not mean that it is literally moving around the earth.

We have quite a bit of evidence that the Lord’s creation included a change in species over time, and that the age of the earth is much more than 6 thousand years or so. There’s no truth in denying geological and fossil evidence of the age of the earth, anymore than there is in denying that the earth is round and revolves around the sun in a year.

(He created Adam and Eve fully grown and they may have even had belly buttons, although I doubt it. I certainly don’t believe they were created with wrinkles or age spots, much less the equivalent of well healed scars that made them look much older.)

How did death come before sin?

that the age of the earth is much more than 6 thousand years

Genesis: "So the evening and the morning were the first day."

The text doesn't allow for 6,000 years. Cowards can opt for 6,000 years, but that won't satisfy the evolutionists.

We have quite a bit of evidence that the Lord’s creation included a change in species over time, and that the age of the earth is much more than 6 thousand years or so.

That isn't the problem. The problem is that the theory of evolution denies design, intention, and purpose on the part of God in the administration of His creation. That is one thing which makes it incompatible with Christianity.
