>> Amen to that! If the Lord wanted us to know more or how, He would have explained it in His Word! <<
Well, he COULD have explained astrophysics to people with no concept of a zero and who couldn’t conceive of numbers beyond 7000. On the other hand, maybe he would have inspired prophets to sing of how the Heavens proclaim his handiwork, and rewarded those who investigated His laws of nature with wonder and prosperity.
and for the record, I don’t mean to come down on the side of old-Earth creationism. I recently was inspired by a Freeper to a notion that maybe God made the world SEEM old because he wanted to reveal the nature of things. Just like Adam, if he were truly human, had a body which seemed to be the result of physiological processes of maturation, so too would the Earth and skies seem like they were the result of cosmological processes of maturation.
Of course, once you start getting into quantum stuff, then you can get these concepts to merge into one another: Is ours a young Earth created to seem old or an old Earth gone unseen except by a creator who declares what day and night are for his own purposes?
