Why does God sometimes hide things? Because he gives us room to to say “no” to him. If everything was as clear as 2+2=4, we would be FORCED to kneel before Him, but God wants RELATIONSHIP. it’s impossible to have relationship if one is forced. God wants us to CHOOSE him.
No. Biblical Hebrew has a smaller vocabulary than English. In biblical Hebrew, there is no word for universe. Instead, the Hebrew phrase that is translated “the heavens and the earth” is used to refer to the universe-the entirety of physical reality. The phrase is used thirteen times in the Old Testament, always referring to all matter, energy, space, and time in the universe. We now know that event was 13.787 ±0.020 billion years. This has been checked, proven and measured with many tools and they all agree. It is not just space that came to be 13.787 billion years ago, but time also. The universe is finite and expanding. Just as the Bible stated thousands of years ago.
(*≧∀≦)人(≧∀≦*)♪ This is an artistic proof of a created universe. When you paint a shadow it's the opposite color of the object that made the shadow. Nobody knew what the opposite color of white was so the artists avoided painting white on white. The opposite color of white is baby blue and baby pink. The first artist to figure it out was Norman Rockwell. I was the second artist to figure it out. I saw it in the corner of a white room. The lighting was perfect to see it.

@@williamtsang8723 It is said the Ark took 120 years to build, in that amount of time the first pieces of wood would have started to rot and be eaten by bugs long before it was completed. We know from modern maritime engineering that wooden ships that size are impossible.....they twist break up and sink .....read about the wooden schooner US Wyoming , it was smaller than the ark by 100 ft, it weighed 10,000 tons !!!!!!! it had to have steel girders retro fitted to stop to twisting in even the lightest seas , but it still broke up and sank .
@@WildPhotoShooter Did you even think about the possibility that if an all-powerful God told him to build it, that he could also protect the wood used to build it? Perhaps God even told him some secrets on how to protect the wood.
@@jiayouchinese The Noah story doesn't mention anything about being told to use wood preserver. He used tar on the outside to stop water getting in , but wood preserver is a chemical product that is man made in factories ....maybe God had a secret factory hidden in the mountains . Another reasonable question is, where did Noah get the tar from ? Do you realise how much tar it would take to paint a ship 500 ft long, 100ft wide and three stories high ? He couldn't do all the internal wood with tar . The writers of this naive story remembered to "waterproof" the ship but they would never have thought in their writing process that anybody would bring up the question, 2000 years later, of the wood rotting . Ooops ! C'mon folks, the Noah fantasy is a seriously flawed naive story, it is impossible, it never happened .......neither did the 6 day creation, the virgin birth , or the resurrection form the dead , it's all just man made fantasy .
I think it important to respect the entrance of death into time. The suggestion that day-6 fish and fowl existed for a long period (millions of years) without death affecting them or leaving fossils would be consistent with how scripture times the arrival of death, but we are tempted to put its arrival at an earlier point in creation so as to account for old old fossils. But then we allow death on those creation days where we are told God pointedly described what He had made as 'good' and not under a curse. Must we then change our view of God's character to accommodate fossils dated to what our current presumptions say are millions of years old?
Hi Penny.Can we assume that plants didn't die?Would the death and decay of plants not yet be a natural condition of the cycle of life back then before the fall?It is true that plants were not living animals yes.But then Adam was not warned of the death of everything through disobedience,but just his death.There is no mention of death being imminent for animals through his disobedience.It can be assumed that the cycle of life and death in animal as well as plant life would be considered a natural flow of the life cycle back then ,where as Adam and Eve and man kind would not be subject to it.This being a choice by God would make it "good",because God is always good.As well,where would Adam get his point of reference if he had not known or witnessed death?
@@wtsgnon Right, death as a principle I am assuming applied across the board to living things including plants (with my limited understanding). We are not told the length of time Adam and Eve walked with God in fellowship before the fall into rebellion. Perhaps the plant life was still enjoying growth and friut and seed production, their intended use for man. We are not told. Taking God as faithful and consistent, I trust all was as He designed in the beginning: good. Good to think more about this, thank you.
Obviously the death was of the sprit of man and not a bodily death, even Adam didn't die but lived a ripe old age. This death didn't effect any other living creature than man. (neither did Angels die).
@@wtsgnon In order to die, something has to be alive. Plants do not meet the biblical definition of life. No breath or blood. Genesis 1:29-30 describes plants as food for living things, not as living things themselves. And Isaiah 11:6-9 describes God's holy place where animals are eating plants, but not each other, and says nothing is hurt or destroyed. Romans 8 says the fall affected all creation, so it wasn't just limited to man. 20 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, 21 the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. 22 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. I don't know how Adam knew how to talk, walk, or do anything unless God told him. I suppose the same is true for how he knew about death.
You are in YEC logic and teaching not in the Bible. Here is is Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Death to men, not animals as YEC teach.

M82 galaxy (Messier 82) is being/has been observed by Hubble, NuSTAR, and James Webb telescopes. There is a fascinating pulsar "X-2" which is 10 million times brighter than our sun. The M82 is 12 million light years away. The universe is ancient. Moses says this is Gensis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth. Space, time, matter, and energy - God created all. The YEC view does not do biblical hermeneutics justice. Unfortunately, people hear this view and are completely turned off because the evidence contradicts it. Christians should be lovers of God and lovers of truth. To love people made in God's image means telling the truth. Scientific discoveries are consistent with God and scripture. The universe is ancient and incredible. It shows the beauty and majesty of God's mind and creativity. Trillions of galaxies declare God's power.
They are not reading and trusting the whole Bible. Day is not the same as 24 hours, not in the past and not today. The earth is not about 6,000 years old and the Bible does not teach this. Hebrews 4:9-10: "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his."

Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish. This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context. Day - yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, but the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans thus literally is: Sunrise to sunset Sunset to next sunset Time period of unspecified length. (long time span ). We use the word day the same today: In my grandfather’s day cars did not go very fast. I work the day shift. (Both are not 24 hours) Deuteronomy 33:15 and Habakkuk 3:6 "ancient mountains". Gen 2:4 “in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens” referring to the whole time of the six days, The events of day 6 can not have happened in 24 hours. Creationism does not equal young Earth. There are many Old Earth creationists.

Not in Bible. Romans 1:20" For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Psalm 19 1-4: The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.

The problem isn't the length of a day. It doesn't matter how long you want to imagine the creation days are, it won't change the gospel story. What changes the gospel story is if you have the curse/death before sin. Romans 8: 19-24 says all creation is groaning and facing death because of the curse. So, before the curse, nothing would be groaning and dying. The curse, of course, is sin, and man brought sin into the world. So no sin, curse, or death, before man. So it doesn't work to say animals actually went extinct before man. As one man, Adam, brought sin into the world, so one man, Jesus, will take sin out of the world. But if the world before sin had death and suffering and God called that good, then when Jesus takes sin out of the world, there will still be suffering and death and God will call that good. In which case what's the point? I have nothing against all the theories that say the days might not be what we think of as days or that the sun was created when God created light, but then not visible on the earth for a while. But when people start saying God called suffering and death good, whether it be human or animal suffering, then I have a problem. Besides, Jesus indicated that man and woman were there in the beginning. Matthew 19:4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
Romans 5:12 “Through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and so death passed to all mankind in turn.” This is clear death came to “all mankind”, not animals. Why would God kill animals due to man’s sin? YEC claim about mankind killing animals due to sin is just not in the Bible.
Predator and prey in balance is good and God said it was good. Predator play a key role in keeping ecosystems healthy.

God reveals Himself through His Word. And adding even one more hour to the six days of creation inspires a form of evolution and deception, contradicting the Biblical genealogy and prophecies of God's word. What if God, in eternity past, conceived the cosmos fully complete, in a form that is billions of years old? Then when he spoke each day into existence, everything He made, formed and created proceeded forward, including light in real time. That would satisfy the six days of creation and not contradict Biblical genealogies and prophecies of God's word. Can this be proven scientifically? Perhaps some evidence may exist. In a recent discovery within the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, the Planck data confirms what the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe data reveals, that our Earth and solar system may be cosmically aligned. And according to cosmologists, one thing is evident, the alignments with our Earth and solar system somehow exist! Moreover, because these features do not fit the Standard Model of Cosmology, scientists dubbed it the Axis of Evil because it can destroy everything in their Big Bang hypothesis. However, instead of an Axis of Evil. Could these alignments show an actual Axis of Beginning of a completely new cosmological theory, conceivably, leading to our Creator guiding the exploration? "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:" ACTS 2:17. The Earth is where the Biblical story begins. Our Salvation is what His story is about, and Jesus, the Word of God, is the story's hero.
Astronomers have looked at collapsing stars from light billions of years old. If the Universe is only thousands of years old then that star never really existed. Why create disception. A bit out of the Character of God who does not lie. If Yom can literally mean long finite periods of time why get stuck on 24 hours? Genesis two tells us what God did on day 6. First he created Adam, God planted a garden, Put Adam in it. They watched the trees and the grass grow. Adam got to know all the animals and named them. Then after all that God created Eve. That is a very very very very long 24 hour day.

atheists seem to really misinterpret that the old testament was a very different time during the bible. things were as they were now exactly, they all say “just read the old testament” like so let’s not read the rest of the scripture? the ole testament was when the world was extremely corrupt and evil, before the flood and up until the flood. i understand why you don’t believe because i’ve struggled with religion most of my life, ive always been a very extremely skeptical person that pursued facts but you really have to come at it in a open way, there’s a lot in this world that doesn’t make much sense and anyone can attest to that. i don’t claim to have every answer, i’m still on my journey. but don’t just talk down to believers because not everyone is in it for a afterlife simply or just some trivial complete self gain, some of us genuinely wanna see the people we love again, we want a method to the madness. if you can live a happy meaningful life without religion, kudos to you man but the majority of people are made to need meaning and atheists ideas of “we create our own meaning” is very bleak. whether it’s a myth or not, jesus keeps a lot of people alive, helps people turn their lives around and i think that’s worth a lot more than atheists want to give credit to it.

There are a lot of things that he would never understand as long as he continues to look at everything in the Bible through the lens of science. He doesn't even know what the theme of the Bible is, he puts human salvation above all else. The theme or main message of the Bible is not the salvation of man, it is the sanctification of God's name and the vindication of his sovereignty by means of his kingdom or government. It was the rightfulness and the righteousness of God's rule that was brought into question in the garden of Eden and it's that issue that has to be settled once and for all time. Satan lied to Eve claiming that God was holding back good from her and that life would be better if she decided for herself what was good and bad and that contrary to what God said she wouldn't die for her disobedience. Time was needed to prove whether Satan's claims were true. After thousands of years of death, sickness, and untold suffering the answer is PLAIN to see. This court case will soon conclude and the instigator, Satan, will be executed. The kingdom is what will bring about this. The kingdom was what Christ preached about while here on Earth. It's the instrument that will be used to fulfill God's purpose for the earth and mankind. As psalm 37:29 says, "the righteous will possess the earth and they will live forever on it."

About sons of God. If Angel’s change into man then they are better than Christ because He needed a woman to have the human body. I don’t think any Angel can become human. Because Christ is the only one. Good lecture
The serpent in the garden of Eden was Satan, the donkey speaking to Joana was an Angel. Angels have the power to manifest in other forms. (flying saucer UFO believers call some of the aliens "shape shifters", but they are demons)
@@fudgedogbannana that is a good answer and true. Thanks. But I still don’t believe Angels turned into humans. Do you think maybe the things you mentioned are like imposed without actually turning in say a serpent. Thanks again
Christ didn't need a woman to have a human body, he could have materialized a body like those disobedient angels. He materialized a human body on a number of occasions after his resurrection and it's possible that he did so before he came through Mary. Throughout the scriptures, there are accounts of angels who materialized human bodies. Because of the role he had to play in the outworking of God's purpose he needed to have the whole human experience, from birth to death. Matter which we see is just a concentrated form of energy that we can't see so the same applies to flesh and spirit.

The black sea did actually overflow at one point of the middle easts history. It was caused by a break in the glaciers that housed a ocean of water within the glaciers in America and may have been released when a meteor hit the ice cap in the ice age in either modern day Greenland or iceland also this created the scab lands as the torrential amount of water broke through the lands and carved them out on their way to the ocean causing ocean levels to rise and flood over into the middle east.
Why would He flood the whole world when all humans lived in one place in the Middle East? Why would God drown all the animals in the world when there were no humans around to corrupt them?
When you read the account of the flood, again and again, it uses words like "whole earth" "All living things on the earth" "Everything with the breath of life" "ONLY those on the ark survived." It was as if God knew He needed to repeat Himself several times to make it clear He was flooding the whole earth. And this is God, talking, so He knows what the whole earth is. Besides, if it weren't the whole earth then the rainbow was a sign of God's lies, since there have been plenty of local floods. But currently, it is impossible for the whole world to flood. Probably the same forces that caused the flood, the bowels of the earth opening, created so much plate movement as to result in mountains so high and canyons so deep that the world can't be flooded again. Genesis 7:23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.
@@CytherX This event is not the one in the Bible. The Bible teaches the flood was in Mesopotamia Valley, no over the whole earth. It was global to mankind.
Creation science is an oxymoron. Naturalism (science) is about things that can be measured / observed. The central unifying element of creationism cannot be measured or observed. Naturalism is about strict, rigid adherence to emergent laws, resulting in strict limits and rules for how they can interact. The laws in creationism are there by decree, so can be anything that can be decreed, limited only by the creator's imagination. Naturalism is about increments of variation over long periods of time. Creationism is about instantaneous appearance of complexity. Naturalism is about process / circumstantial design. Creationism is about intelligent design. The operating agents, mechanisms, concepts, and principles of creationism and naturalism are so fundamentally different that there's no reason for them to resemble each other on any level -- much less down to the level of minutiae that we observe ... unless naturalism itself is the designer.
@@laurenpatricia411 [Lauen]: "You're a fool if you don't believe that there is a designer behind this." Lol. Anyone who doesn't educate him/her self about this stuff is a fool, Lauren. It's clear you haven't taken the time to learn, and that's nobody's fault but your own. That pretty much disqualifies you from being a credible judge of who's a fool and who isn't. It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect.
@@laurenpatricia411 [lauren]: "You're a fool if you don't believe that there is a designer behind this." You didn't address a single point. I was comparing naturalism and creationism -- showing clearly that each has its own domain or set of rules, and that science aligns with naturalism because science uses naturalistic stuff to measure naturalistic stuff and, by definition, cannot measure / observe / detect supernaturalistic stuff, which is the domain of God. Therefore, creationism is not science because creationism's principle operating agent cannot be scientifically measured / observed / tested. It is placed beyond scientific evaluation by the creationists themselves. We have never seen something supernatural instantaneously create something natural. But we see natural stuff creating natural stuff all the time, especially in changing conditions over longer periods of time. At the end of the day, I don't think anyone wants to believe in God more than I do. But I think it does God a disservice to believe in a God for the wrong reasons, or to blame God for something he didn't do.

Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish. This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context. Day - yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, but the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans thus literally is: Sunrise to sunset Sunset to next sunset Time period of unspecified length. (long time span ). We use the word day the same today: In my grandfather’s day cars did not go very fast. I work the day shift. (Both are not 24 hours) Deuteronomy 33:15 and Habakkuk 3:6 "ancient mountains". Gen 2:4 “in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens” referring to the whole time of the six days, The events of day 6 can not have happened in 24 hours. Creationism does not equal young Earth. There are many Old Earth creationists.
God created the earth, but he did not create everything in six twenty four hour days. I don't know what the measurement is based on evening and morning but too many things show that it's millions of years.
sorry but he got the age of the earth wrong. its more like 6,000 years old according to the rate of the magnetic field decreasing and the erosion of the continents, etc
So I assume you don't believe in radiocarbon dating? It's used to find the age of fossils which extend way further back than 6,000 years. Now to make a comment on the erosion of continents, 1. Erosion rates are not constant, they change over time making it hard to predict past erosion rates and 2. The continents would still be around even though erosion has been occuring for billions of years because of simple plate tectonics. Most of the erosion from coastlines is due to subduction, which is when one plate slides under another, usually its the ocean plates being forced under by the continental plate as ocean plates are more dense so a lot of weathered coasts gets dragged along with the ocean plate as it subducts so you would assume that at some point over time, a lot of the continents would be barely anything, but when subduction occurs, a ton of friction and heat is created which melts some of the rock. The magma then acts like hot hair and begins to rise which pushes up on the continental crust above it. Sometimes you get mountains and volcanoes from this process but what you mainly get no matter what is more surface crust after that magma cools. If you go to Hawaii you can see this. Hawaii is full of "lava beaches" which are great examples of cooled magma creating new coastline. One more note about the magnetic field, the magnetic field is also not a constant thing, over time it waxes and wanes, and even flips every 300,000 years, and it's estimated to only have been decaying for last 3,000 years, so that doesn't really match up with your 6,000 year old figure.

I love this man and his explanations of the Bible. I love his philosophy and his defense of creationism. God is using him in amazing ways
Why does God sometimes hide things? Because he gives us room to to say “no” to him. If everything was as clear as 2+2=4, we would be FORCED to kneel before Him, but God wants RELATIONSHIP. it’s impossible to have relationship if one is forced. God wants us to CHOOSE him.

Genesis 1:1 is referring to “sky and land “ when it says “heaven and earth.”
No. Biblical Hebrew has a smaller vocabulary than English. In biblical Hebrew, there is no word for universe. Instead, the Hebrew phrase that is translated “the heavens and the earth” is used to refer to the universe-the entirety of physical reality. The phrase is used thirteen times in the Old Testament, always referring to all matter, energy, space, and time in the universe. We now know that event was 13.787 ±0.020 billion years. This has been checked, proven and measured with many tools and they all agree. It is not just space that came to be 13.787 billion years ago, but time also. The universe is finite and expanding. Just as the Bible stated thousands of years ago.
Thanks for this. Many will still doubt - but they need a new heart in order to do so. Flesh and blood can't inherit the kingdom of God.
(*≧∀≦)人(≧∀≦*)♪ This is an artistic proof of a created universe. When you paint a shadow it's the opposite color of the object that made the shadow. Nobody knew what the opposite color of white was so the artists avoided painting white on white. The opposite color of white is baby blue and baby pink. The first artist to figure it out was Norman Rockwell. I was the second artist to figure it out. I saw it in the corner of a white room. The lighting was perfect to see it.

Why Noah had so much problems fishing in the Ark ? Because he only brought 2 worms.
😆 🤣 😂
@@ByGraceThroughFaith777 Worms, if any in the ark, could multiply. Moreover, Noah brought enough food to the ark.
@@williamtsang8723 It is said the Ark took 120 years to build, in that amount of time the first pieces of wood would have started to rot and be eaten by bugs long before it was completed. We know from modern maritime engineering that wooden ships that size are impossible.....they twist break up and sink .....read about the wooden schooner US Wyoming , it was smaller than the ark by 100 ft, it weighed 10,000 tons !!!!!!! it had to have steel girders retro fitted to stop to twisting in even the lightest seas , but it still broke up and sank .
@@WildPhotoShooter Did you even think about the possibility that if an all-powerful God told him to build it, that he could also protect the wood used to build it? Perhaps God even told him some secrets on how to protect the wood.
@@jiayouchinese The Noah story doesn't mention anything about being told to use wood preserver. He used tar on the outside to stop water getting in , but wood preserver is a chemical product that is man made in factories ....maybe God had a secret factory hidden in the mountains .
Another reasonable question is, where did Noah get the tar from ? Do you realise how much tar it would take to paint a ship 500 ft long, 100ft wide and three stories high ? He couldn't do all the internal wood with tar .
The writers of this naive story remembered to "waterproof" the ship but they would never have thought in their writing process that anybody would bring up the question, 2000 years later, of the wood rotting . Ooops !
C'mon folks, the Noah fantasy is a seriously flawed naive story, it is impossible, it never happened .......neither did the 6 day creation, the virgin birth , or the resurrection form the dead , it's all just man made fantasy .
I need a scripture reference for that mansion with acres thing
Rev 21
I think he meant 1,000 word article, not 1,000 pages (!). 26:29
I think it important to respect the entrance of death into time. The suggestion that day-6 fish and fowl existed for a long period (millions of years) without death affecting them or leaving fossils would be consistent with how scripture times the arrival of death, but we are tempted to put its arrival at an earlier point in creation so as to account for old old fossils. But then we allow death on those creation days where we are told God pointedly described what He had made as 'good' and not under a curse. Must we then change our view of God's character to accommodate fossils dated to what our current presumptions say are millions of years old?
Hi Penny.Can we assume that plants didn't die?Would the death and decay of plants not yet be a natural condition of the cycle of life back then before the fall?It is true that plants were not living animals yes.But then Adam was not warned of the death of everything through disobedience,but just his death.There is no mention of death being imminent for animals through his disobedience.It can be assumed that the cycle of life and death in animal as well as plant life would be considered a natural flow of the life cycle back then ,where as Adam and Eve and man kind would not be subject to it.This being a choice by God would make it "good",because God is always good.As well,where would Adam get his point of reference if he had not known or witnessed death?
@@wtsgnon Right, death as a principle I am assuming applied across the board to living things including plants (with my limited understanding). We are not told the length of time Adam and Eve walked with God in fellowship before the fall into rebellion. Perhaps the plant life was still enjoying growth and friut and seed production, their intended use for man. We are not told. Taking God as faithful and consistent, I trust all was as He designed in the beginning: good. Good to think more about this, thank you.
Obviously the death was of the sprit of man and not a bodily death, even Adam didn't die but lived a ripe old age. This death didn't effect any other living creature than man. (neither did Angels die).
@@wtsgnon In order to die, something has to be alive. Plants do not meet the biblical definition of life. No breath or blood. Genesis 1:29-30 describes plants as food for living things, not as living things themselves. And Isaiah 11:6-9 describes God's holy place where animals are eating plants, but not each other, and says nothing is hurt or destroyed.
Romans 8 says the fall affected all creation, so it wasn't just limited to man.
20 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, 21 the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay. 22 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.
I don't know how Adam knew how to talk, walk, or do anything unless God told him. I suppose the same is true for how he knew about death.
You are in YEC logic and teaching not in the Bible. Here is is
Romans 5:12
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Death to men, not animals as YEC teach.

The universe is ancient. Moses says this is Gensis 1:1 In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth.

The YEC view does not do biblical hermeneutics justice. Unfortunately, people hear this view and are completely turned off because the evidence contradicts it.
Christians should be lovers of God and lovers of truth. To love people made in God's image means telling the truth. Scientific discoveries are consistent with God and scripture. The universe is ancient and incredible. It shows the beauty and majesty of God's mind and creativity. Trillions of galaxies declare God's power.

Not in Bible.
Romans 1:20" For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
Psalm 19 1-4: The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.

The problem isn't the length of a day. It doesn't matter how long you want to imagine the creation days are, it won't change the gospel story. What changes the gospel story is if you have the curse/death before sin. Romans 8: 19-24 says all creation is groaning and facing death because of the curse. So, before the curse, nothing would be groaning and dying. The curse, of course, is sin, and man brought sin into the world. So no sin, curse, or death, before man. So it doesn't work to say animals actually went extinct before man.
As one man, Adam, brought sin into the world, so one man, Jesus, will take sin out of the world. But if the world before sin had death and suffering and God called that good, then when Jesus takes sin out of the world, there will still be suffering and death and God will call that good. In which case what's the point?
I have nothing against all the theories that say the days might not be what we think of as days or that the sun was created when God created light, but then not visible on the earth for a while. But when people start saying God called suffering and death good, whether it be human or animal suffering, then I have a problem.
Besides, Jesus indicated that man and woman were there in the beginning. Matthew 19:4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
Romans 5:12 “Through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and so death passed to all mankind in turn.” This is clear death came to “all mankind”, not animals. Why would God kill animals due to man’s sin? YEC claim about mankind killing animals due to sin is just not in the Bible.
Predator and prey in balance is good and God said it was good. Predator play a key role in keeping ecosystems healthy.

20 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse. But with eager hope, 21 the creation looks forward to the day when it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and decay.
The curse caused all creation to be subject to death and decay. So before sin, the curse, creation was not subject to death and decay. Plant death doesn't count, as several verses show plants don't meet the biblical definition of life, which I can share with you if you want.
And in Romans 5 it starts by saying Through one man sin entered into the world. World. That doesn't mean just people.
What God called very good was everything eating only plants. Genesis 1:29-31. Also, see Isaiah 11:6-9.
God reveals Himself through His Word. And adding even one more hour to the six days of creation inspires a form of evolution and deception, contradicting the Biblical genealogy and prophecies of God's word.
What if God, in eternity past, conceived the cosmos fully complete, in a form that is billions of years old? Then when he spoke each day into existence, everything He made, formed and created proceeded forward, including light in real time. That would satisfy the six days of creation and not contradict Biblical genealogies and prophecies of God's word.
Can this be proven scientifically? Perhaps some evidence may exist. In a recent discovery within the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, the Planck data confirms what the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe data reveals, that our Earth and solar system may be cosmically aligned. And according to cosmologists, one thing is evident, the alignments with our Earth and solar system somehow exist! Moreover, because these features do not fit the Standard Model of Cosmology, scientists dubbed it the Axis of Evil because it can destroy everything in their Big Bang hypothesis. However, instead of an Axis of Evil. Could these alignments show an actual Axis of Beginning of a completely new cosmological theory, conceivably, leading to our Creator guiding the exploration?
"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:" ACTS 2:17.
The Earth is where the Biblical story begins. Our Salvation is what His story is about, and Jesus, the Word of God, is the story's hero.
Astronomers have looked at collapsing stars from light billions of years old. If the Universe is only thousands of years old then that star never really existed. Why create disception. A bit out of the Character of God who does not lie. If Yom can literally mean long finite periods of time why get stuck on 24 hours? Genesis two tells us what God did on day 6. First he created Adam, God planted a garden, Put Adam in it. They watched the trees and the grass grow. Adam got to know all the animals and named them. Then after all that God created Eve. That is a very very very very long 24 hour day.

There are a lot of things that he would never understand as long as he continues to look at everything in the Bible through the lens of science. He doesn't even know what the theme of the Bible is, he puts human salvation above all else. The theme or main message of the Bible is not the salvation of man, it is the sanctification of God's name and the vindication of his sovereignty by means of his kingdom or government. It was the rightfulness and the righteousness of God's rule that was brought into question in the garden of Eden and it's that issue that has to be settled once and for all time. Satan lied to Eve claiming that God was holding back good from her and that life would be better if she decided for herself what was good and bad and that contrary to what God said she wouldn't die for her disobedience. Time was needed to prove whether Satan's claims were true. After thousands of years of death, sickness, and untold suffering the answer is PLAIN to see. This court case will soon conclude and the instigator, Satan, will be executed. The kingdom is what will bring about this. The kingdom was what Christ preached about while here on Earth. It's the instrument that will be used to fulfill God's purpose for the earth and mankind. As psalm 37:29 says, "the righteous will possess the earth and they will live forever on it."

@Gerard Moloney sorry I was speaking about when they say sons of God meaning Angels. Maybe I made a mistake. Thanks
The serpent in the garden of Eden was Satan, the donkey speaking to Joana was an Angel. Angels have the power to manifest in other forms. (flying saucer UFO believers call some of the aliens "shape shifters", but they are demons)
@@fudgedogbannana that is a good answer and true. Thanks. But I still don’t believe Angels turned into humans.
Do you think maybe the things you mentioned are like imposed without actually turning in say a serpent. Thanks again
Christ didn't need a woman to have a human body, he could have materialized a body like those disobedient angels. He materialized a human body on a number of occasions after his resurrection and it's possible that he did so before he came through Mary. Throughout the scriptures, there are accounts of angels who materialized human bodies. Because of the role he had to play in the outworking of God's purpose he needed to have the whole human experience, from birth to death. Matter which we see is just a concentrated form of energy that we can't see so the same applies to flesh and spirit.

Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
If God didn’t flood the whole world then why did Noah need a boat? Why didn’t he just move where there was no water?
The black sea did actually overflow at one point of the middle easts history. It was caused by a break in the glaciers that housed a ocean of water within the glaciers in America and may have been released when a meteor hit the ice cap in the ice age in either modern day Greenland or iceland also this created the scab lands as the torrential amount of water broke through the lands and carved them out on their way to the ocean causing ocean levels to rise and flood over into the middle east.
Why would He flood the whole world when all humans lived in one place in the Middle East? Why would God drown all the animals in the world when there were no humans around to corrupt them?
When you read the account of the flood, again and again, it uses words like "whole earth" "All living things on the earth" "Everything with the breath of life" "ONLY those on the ark survived." It was as if God knew He needed to repeat Himself several times to make it clear He was flooding the whole earth. And this is God, talking, so He knows what the whole earth is.
Besides, if it weren't the whole earth then the rainbow was a sign of God's lies, since there have been plenty of local floods. But currently, it is impossible for the whole world to flood. Probably the same forces that caused the flood, the bowels of the earth opening, created so much plate movement as to result in mountains so high and canyons so deep that the world can't be flooded again.
Genesis 7:23 Every living thing on the face of the earth was wiped out; people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds were wiped from the earth. Only Noah was left, and those with him in the ark.
@@CytherX This event is not the one in the Bible. The Bible teaches the flood was in Mesopotamia Valley, no over the whole earth. It was global to mankind.
God used the ark as a stage to tell people, they did not hear. This was flash flood.
Creation science is an oxymoron.
Naturalism (science) is about things that can be measured / observed. The central unifying element of creationism cannot be measured or observed. Naturalism is about strict, rigid adherence to emergent laws, resulting in strict limits and rules for how they can interact. The laws in creationism are there by decree, so can be anything that can be decreed, limited only by the creator's imagination. Naturalism is about increments of variation over long periods of time. Creationism is about instantaneous appearance of complexity. Naturalism is about process / circumstantial design. Creationism is about intelligent design.
The operating agents, mechanisms, concepts, and principles of creationism and naturalism are so fundamentally different that there's no reason for them to resemble each other on any level -- much less down to the level of minutiae that we observe ... unless naturalism itself is the designer.
You're a fool if you don't believe that there is a designer behind this.

Lol. Anyone who doesn't educate him/her self about this stuff is a fool, Lauren. It's clear you haven't taken the time to learn, and that's nobody's fault but your own. That pretty much disqualifies you from being a credible judge of who's a fool and who isn't. It's called the Dunning-Kruger effect.

[lauren]: "You're a fool if you don't believe that there is a designer behind this."
You didn't address a single point. I was comparing naturalism and creationism -- showing clearly that each has its own domain or set of rules, and that science aligns with naturalism because science uses naturalistic stuff to measure naturalistic stuff and, by definition, cannot measure / observe / detect supernaturalistic stuff, which is the domain of God.
Therefore, creationism is not science because creationism's principle operating agent cannot be scientifically measured / observed / tested. It is placed beyond scientific evaluation by the creationists themselves. We have never seen something supernatural instantaneously create something natural. But we see natural stuff creating natural stuff all the time, especially in changing conditions over longer periods of time.
At the end of the day, I don't think anyone wants to believe in God more than I do. But I think it does God a disservice to believe in a God for the wrong reasons, or to blame God for something he didn't do.
Romans 1:20" For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.
Psalm 19 1-4: The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.
Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.
Only the God of the Bible operates outside of the time and space dimensions we are in. So it must be the God of the Bible.
Biblical Hebrew has a smaller vocabulary than English. In biblical Hebrew, there is no word for universe. Instead, the Hebrew phrase that is translated “the heavens and the earth” is used to refer to the universe-the entirety of physical reality. The phrase is used thirteen times in the Old Testament, always referring to all matter, energy, space, and time in the universe. We now know that event was 13.787 ±0.020 billion years. This has been checked, proven and measured with many tools and they all agree. It is not just space that came to be 13.787 billion years ago, but time also. The universe is finite and expanding. Just as the Bible stated thousands of years ago. To deny the existence of a Creator is an error.

So you're saying that God is a naturalist? If God is a naturalist, what distinguishes him from the naturalistic explanation ... which doesn't require any God at all?
It does not take millions of English words to translate the first few words of the Bible.
Ross is just interpreting and interpreting more and more.
THE BIBLE WAS NOT MEANT TO BE INTERPRETED.......IT WAS MEANT TO BE BELIEVED LITERALLY AS THE WORD OF GOD .
HOWEVER NAIVE WE FIND IT IN THE MODERN 21ST CENTURY IT IS STILL THE WORD OF GOD AND SHOULD NOT BE
"INTERPRETED" OR CHANGED IN ANY WAY.
Um... parables? Song of songs? Revelation? Any time there is translation there is interpretation. Any sermon is interpretation.
If you take genesis literal you’re saying God is a liar who tricks us by making the earth seem old while it’s young. Believing the earth is old proves to us the eternal God and our beloved Jesus Christ of Nazareth
@ufindmehere76 interpretation is definitely required in this modern world where people are not easily fooled by the literal word .
Ancient people didn't question what the hierarchy told them because they were just peasants.
Then read and trust it not men,
Day is not the same as 24 hours, not in the past and not today.
The earth is not about 6,000 years old and the Bible does not teach this. Hebrews 4:9-10: "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his." This tells us that the 7th day Each believer are to enter into day 7. Also there no "evening and morning" for the 7th day. As day 7 as not ended. Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish. This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context. Day - yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, but the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans thus literally is:
Sunrise to sunset
Sunset to next sunset
Time period of unspecified length. (long time span ).
We use the word day the same today: In my grandfather’s day cars did not go very fast. I work the day shift. (Both are not 24 hours)
Deuteronomy 33:15 and Habakkuk 3:6 "ancient mountains".
Gen 2:4 “in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens” referring to the whole time of the six days,
The events of day 6 can not have happened in 24 hours.
Creationism does not equal young Earth. There are many Old Earth creationists.
Everybody Talkin abt some BS cheating that didn’t even happen…. Nobody noticed Tobin could’ve protected the Audino to tank for the wish 😂
Are you taking drugs?
God created the earth, but he did not create everything in six twenty four hour days. I don't know what the measurement is based on evening and morning but too many things show that it's millions of years.
Creation is not science -
Thanks for You opinion but i prefer to listen to the scientist
i DON'T believe OLD EARTH CREATIONIST I trust Ken Ham over you.
Stop this nonsense. Creation is not science, it is religion. You know nothing.
So curios You Would Say that to an actual scientist
sorry but he got the age of the earth wrong. its more like 6,000 years old according to the rate of the magnetic field decreasing and the erosion of the continents, etc
So I assume you don't believe in radiocarbon dating? It's used to find the age of fossils which extend way further back than 6,000 years. Now to make a comment on the erosion of continents, 1. Erosion rates are not constant, they change over time making it hard to predict past erosion rates and 2. The continents would still be around even though erosion has been occuring for billions of years because of simple plate tectonics. Most of the erosion from coastlines is due to subduction, which is when one plate slides under another, usually its the ocean plates being forced under by the continental plate as ocean plates are more dense so a lot of weathered coasts gets dragged along with the ocean plate as it subducts so you would assume that at some point over time, a lot of the continents would be barely anything, but when subduction occurs, a ton of friction and heat is created which melts some of the rock. The magma then acts like hot hair and begins to rise which pushes up on the continental crust above it. Sometimes you get mountains and volcanoes from this process but what you mainly get no matter what is more surface crust after that magma cools. If you go to Hawaii you can see this. Hawaii is full of "lava beaches" which are great examples of cooled magma creating new coastline. One more note about the magnetic field, the magnetic field is also not a constant thing, over time it waxes and wanes, and even flips every 300,000 years, and it's estimated to only have been decaying for last 3,000 years, so that doesn't really match up with your 6,000 year old figure.
How can you fit Pangea, ancient animal fossils, many meteor collisions, ice ages etc in 6000 years?
