Can't see how Robertson is wrong in this debate.
Petrified fossils are millions of years old, not 6,000 and to assert the contrary accuses the Creator of lying through the fossil record.

Couldn't possibly be that Ham misunderstands the Bible, of course.

The falsehood is that it requires “billions and billions” of years to form fossils, sediment beds, and such like. Exploration of the area surrounding Mt. St. Helens just a few years after the eruption found conditions which had the appearance of great age.

I have great respect for the personage Pat Robertson USED TO BE. But he has come off with some dingbat statements in recent years which indicate to me that it’s time for ol’ Pat to retire to his farm and whisper to his horses.

God being the deliberate Author of Time and all things we lack the Wisdom and Authority to accuse the Him of anything. Accept his Authority and Power or reject it.

God Almighty is the single Being who can truly say: “Are you going to believe Me or your lying eyes”.

How many days weeks or months are in a God-year?
Does everyone think the Creator had a watch and a 365 day/12 month calendar year before the universe(s) exploded and started to expand?

maybe one universe lifespan is one God-year.

If you believe the Bible, you must accept that all of creation was affected by Adam's sin. If that is the case, we can not take our science of today and look at a world before sin.

We have no way of knowing if the rules that work in a sinful world would also apply to a sinless world.

History is not a straight road, but has a corner we can not see around.
