- Can we definitively know the age of the earth from the Bible? While we can’t pinpoint it down to the exact day or year, we can get a surprisingly accurate estimate of the age of the earth if we study the Scriptures properly-and it’s not millions or billions of years old. In this video, we answer these questions and more: What is the age of the earth according to the Bible? Does “day” really mean a 24-hour period? Was the biblical flood a local or worldwide event?
0:00 - Intro
0:15 - The age of the earth according to the Bible
2:21 - Two major issues
4:26 - Why we believe in a young earth
6:06 - Theological difficulties of believing in billions of years
11:25 - Can we know the age of the earth for sure?
13:44 - Does “day” really mean 24 hours?
16:56 - What about plants dying before the Fall?
18:07 - Additional support for a young earth
19:42 - Was it a local flood or a worldwide flood?
28:18 - Why does this issue matter?

Woe unto those who try to misrepresent and change the meaning of biblical writings. Every last word means exactly what God the Creator intended!!
Then yo udo not have the right text in your possession,
You do not know how many copies there was before the texts that later made up the bible have been copied
Also, the scriptures have been changed many times, take 7:53-8:1 "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." are not original to John's Gospel. Those words were added sometime around the 5th century.
Amen to that🙏🏻.
@@godergodel1649 the Lord protected the Bible throughout the centuries, to say that it is less than what it should be ‘that it’s under par, or there’s mistakes ,or contradictions ,or words added ,or words taken from it, it’s just an excuse, The king James Bible is from the original Greek text ,now each time its translated?things can happen ‘whole sentences can be gone ,like in the NIV ,but if you stick to the king James ?you can’t go wrong.
Through the years I have concluded all of this. I accepted Jesus Christ in the summer of 1969 when I was in the living room if our home in Bangkok, Thailand. 53 years ago. In time I realized, if God is God, He could choose any method or time frame. It all fell into place. In God's Word, if I don't see it now, I'll see it later. If He chooses to reveal it to me this side of Heaven. Amen.
Amen.
These discussions are had because there are worldly claims on ages of the world that contradict bible claims
I AGREE! I don’t HAVE to know ALL the answers! THE one answer I know for sure is I’m saved. As I read the Bible daily, Jesus reveals His Glory and answers to questions I didn’t even know I needed to ask. May u b Blessed David and your Faith increase daily!
@@vikithomasson7772 thank you.
People are being misled with doctrine that leads them to believe Bible is false.
It definitely wouldn’t hurt to learn the answers so you can help battle the deception and help steer people back in the right direction
So even if you think millions of years, how did the universe come about? Somehow everything came from nothing. Why not accept the concept that a higher power created everything and therefore why not accept His narrative of what happened? Ya, I know - because we don't want to go along with God's program, we want to do what we want to. Millions of years doesn't explain where everything came from - even now the Webb telescope is showing the big bang theory is wrong.....
Where did god come from? If he was always there then why couldn't the universe have always been there? That negates the need for a creator. Try getting your tiny minds out of that old book. We don't know how it happened, therefore god did it is a child's idea of the origin of the Universe.
Probably because it's the 21st century and not the 14th. Come join us
Webb did no such thing. In FACT during the alignment of the mirrors it confirmed yet another of Einsteins theories correct.
@@imafeltersnatch7634 and Einstein believed the universe was designed, not coincidental

Whatever day or season we are in, we are called to love God & love others. God bless everyone! 🙏🏼
“Love others” until you find out they’re gay or non believers or worship a different sect of the same religion.
@@2l84me8 we are still to love them. Jesus came for the "sick", not the "healthy" so we are also called to tend to the sick.
@@paolozulueta Why are you comparing nonbelievers or gay people as “sick” again?
@@2l84me8 theyre not literally sick. Everyone in the world is "sick". Meaning we are all broken. We are all broken because of sin. Therefore we all need the healing grace of Jesus.
@@paolozulueta There’s nothing wrong nor broken with being gay or being a nonbeliever. If you want to believe you are flawed because you believe in biblical fairytales with genocide, slavery, and incest, then that’s on you. Don’t drag everyone into your delusions.

Have you any concept of how many times people had said that over history? The first ~Christians thought it would be in their lifetimes. Never happened.
The way the con works- You find people who are nervous or upset, you keep telling them how bad are. You find new vague none existent threats like Gays or Trans people. Then you say pay me every week and I will get my invisible friend to look after you when you are dead.
Now we look at history of the last 2000 years and see the patterns, the more we have moved away from religion the less violent our society.
We have just been through Halloween. What do you think of when I say witch? I think of the 40-60 thousand innocent women burned or drowned around in the name of Christianity.

simple questions
Show one person that Yahweh loves in the Bible apart from Yahweh.
Why do you worship a character that lies like Yahweh in the Bible?
@@chrisyoung5929 Shalom, I'm not a very good apologetics person however, that being said, I have read the Bible over and over and over again. Many times in my life. It does indeed show Creator YHVH is a loving GOD. He is also very patient and justice. Only He can bring true justice because he knows each and every person and what is in their hearts. I have experienced His love and forgiveness and discipline many, many times in my life and I have seen it in many others. There is much evidence that the Bible, the WORD of GOD is True. Many prophecies have come to pass and many are coming to pass in our days. John 3:16 " For GOD ( YHVH) so loved the world that He gave His only and unique Son( Yeshua/ Jesus), so that everyone who trusts in Him may have eternal life, instead of being utterly destroyed. For GOD ( YHVH) did not send the Son in the world to judge the world, but RATHER so that through Him, the world might be saved. Those who trust Himare not judged; those who do not trust have been judged already, IN THAT THEY HAVE NOT TRUSTED IN THE ONE WHO IS GOD's ONLY SON." That would be Yeshua/ Jesus. If you ask Him to show Himself to you, He will. The Choice is up to you. 🤔 Father YHVH, please reveal YOUR TRUTH, to this young man. In Yeshua's Name. Maranatha!😁 " Cold Case Chrisianity " is a good book , I recommend it.

So from the start
Adam and Eve - sticks his tree in front of children rather than on mars.
Lies that they will die if they eat the fruit when as the first humans they haven't no idea what that means.
Noah drowns pregnant women babies and toddlers. could have just made them infertile.
Abramham -bullies a man into killing his own child, Promises not to do it again then ls happy when Jephthah murders his daughter.
Kills Children for name calling in 2kings.
He even gets his own son killed just because he is not moral enough to forgive people without bloodshed.
So go on tell me your stories of a loving deity. That you read the Bible already convinced that Yahweh is true and loving has blinded you to what it actually says..

If these people would prevail in the scientific community in the US, this country would tumble quickly down to the bottom ratings of the countries with the biggest scientific achievements. It is really unbelievable any serious person can take this nonsense seriously.
The wisdom of this world is foolishness to God. ♡
Self avowed Christian creationists created almost all the modern scientific disciplines BECAUSE they believed in a Creator and sought His mind through His creation. It was only later hijacked by leeches and turned on its head and weaponized against the very fountainhead of science.
@@AllOtherNamesUsed The basis for modern sciences was laid by the early islamic societies. If they would have kept those qualities, Bagdan would now be the science capital of the world.
@@roerdomp16e in some cases yes (astronomy, math, chemistry) but it was the Christian creationist innovators of modern science like Cuvier, Ray, Linnaeus, Mendel, Pasteur, Newton, Galileo (who argued against the Greek cosmology adopted by the Vatican not the biblical account), Copernicus, Kepler, Faraday, Boyle, etc who brought us up to where we are today. Muslims also believe in the Creator God of Abraham.
The ancient tradition is Abraham was an astronomer (magi from Chaldea) and the biblical text supports this - it only makes sense that He passed on the knowledge of the Mazzaroth/Zodiac to Ishmael (knowledge which is also mentioned in the biblical text and plays a critical role in the ‘star of Bethlehem’ event). Even in the ancient text of Jubilees, Abraham is arguing the case of a Creator from studying the stars to the unbelievers! Another ancient text from the Dead Sea scrolls give an account of Abraham bringing knowledge to ancient Egypt which he received from preflood era going back to Enoch who was also given knowledge of the stars/zodiac which points to Christ in the sign of Leo the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Seed of the Woman, which is symbolically depicted in the alpha star Spica (Seed) held by Virgo (Virgin). Sounds familiar.
@@AllOtherNamesUsed please... nor the Bible, nor the Quran have anything to do with science. Yes, religion was mankind's first attempt to explain the world around us. But because it was our first, it was our worst.
The word of God says: He spoke and it was finished, He commanded and it stood fast. Six days. Fear Him.

In the Bible stories show one lie from the Satan character. I can show a number from the Yahweh character.
In the Bible stories show one time the Satan character murders children. I can show a number where Yahweh murders children.
How many people does the Bible say that Satan kills? Yahweh is shown murdering up to a couple of million.
Now explain why this "loving"deity drown all those pregnant women and toddlers. A moral deity could have just made everybody he did not like infertile, let them die out but if any child proved to be good then he could have reversed their infertility. Oh look I can give a far more moral story than the Bible.
Did the flood work? Have their been no more evil people since? So what was the point? a sick immoral story that we know did not happen as the Egyptian living next door missed the whole thing, as did the Chinese and American peoples.
Correct. It is written on the heart of every baby in the womb as God weaves them together.
Grateful... Praise our Lord Jesus Christ.
Amen and praise the Lord
Good job Tim.
This is such a great video and so informative but May I suggest slowing down when talking. You talk so fast at some points I have to rewind to just understand what you are saying…at the end, you have a good cadence of speaking and it was really good. I know it’s a lot of material to go over, so I get it, but some need it a little slower in speaking. Thanks for listening.
At the bottom-left of the video frame is a Settings icon (gear wheel) by which you can change the playback speed, slower or faster.
The civilization of Mesopotamia and Egypt are both older than 6,000 years old. Just known history is older than creation. The archeological record is significantly older than that.
Let the holy spirit guide us all in understanding all truths. Once you understand the great flood and that there were only 8 souls that were saved on Noah's Ark, and how powerful water is, it makes clear sense to me as to how a lot of water in a short period of time can do great things to rock, dirt, soil, etc. We have seen how quickly moving water can carve paths through things in a short period of time.
Regardless of what others may believe, we are living in the end days of the end time and should focus our minds on saving souls, helping those who are confused and looking for answers, and proclaiming God's love and how Jesus was sent to us who sacrificed himself so that anyone who believes in him may live!
I wonder if we will see memory archives in heaven that would allow us to "see" all these events that took place from the beginning of creation. That would be pretty incredible =)
If you want to help somebody return to what Jesus taught. He never claimed to be the Messiah, he said that was a greater future yet to come. He said you put God first without a second. And everybody puts the Bible in Jesus before God and you do not know God himself directly. If you want to help somebody you tell them that they need to open their heart to God the Creator for only being righteous and true according to him will allow you to enter the coming Kingdom. it is very close at hand.
@@robertbrown5536 I would encourage you to read and study the actual Bible, because everything you just stated is incorrect.
Jesus made it clear, he is the Messiah, and he plainly stated, "I am the way, the truth and the life, No one can come before the Father accept through me"
Jesus is God in the flesh, and every true Christian knows this very well. God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are 3 personages as ONE. This is called the trinity, and it's OK if we do not fully comprehend / understand it.
The only way to obtain eternal life is through our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. There is NO other way.
Thank you for this.
This was awesome!
Jesus is coming soon, His word reveals the truth, we discern the signs of the time, we know it's time for God's children to go home. Thx and God bless you!❤😂

One of the very best defenses of a young earth viewpoint I have ever heard. I especially loved the part about (paraphrase) "don't take my word for it, read the Bible for yourself." A man, who, as far as I can tell, isn't a pastor but has single-handedly outperformed just about every "pastor" I've heard in that one moment.
But why should anyone believe the bible is true? The bible is mythology. You can if you want to but I dont believe in magic. It's not real. It has talking animals in it. The bible has a man being created from dirt. The bible has a female being created from a man's rib. The bible condones slavery in great detail. So no one would believe this incredible stuff is true without evidence unless your a religious zealot. 😒
It's a terrible offense unless you're a Young Earth Creationist... Everyone else thinks this was terrible.
@@SStupendous Yep. There's not one bit of rationale in this entire video. It's simply going, "THE BIBLE SAYS SO!".
@@Swearengen1980 I think you misunderstood the whole point off this video, he's saying that people who believe the bible but also believe in the millions of years are wrong because of what the bible teaches to believers.
That's why the whole argument is "THE BIBLE SAYS SO!" because its directed towards Christians not atheists.
If you are looking for archeological evidence of a flood or young earth then there are other sources and videos for that.
The Bible not only changes your life, it tells us of many pit holes there are and how to avoid them if we continue to walk in His way by His Holy Spirit given upon true commitment because of what Jesus did for us. Yeah, even though we fall or slip up we can trust He will raise us up again. He must increase while I decrease.
Even so, come Lord Jesus.
It's the instruction manual for life.

The Big Bang theory does not say anything about the actual beginning of the universe. It doesn’t say what banged, why it banged or how it banged. It doesn’t claim the universe appeared from nothing.
What it says is the in the far distant past, the universe was incredibly dense and hot and expanding. At that density and heat, the current laws of nature had not yet existed. So we can not know or understand what was happening before that.
There is no reason to claim that the universe did not exist in some form before the Big Bang. We just don’t know. Maybe it cycles forever in different forms. That is a simpler explanation then adding a god to the system. And simpler explanations tend to be the more correct ones
No it just makes no sense. The argument "we just dont know ... and simultanously ignore the billions of evidences from a cosmological, biological, archaeological, historical, prophetic or near-death-experiential perspective and ignore every single testimony of witnessed miracles and personal relationships and communications of believers with God" is just ignorant or to say it harsher plain stupid. The only reason for not believing the obvious is just because some people just dont want to.
@@synthtonic4954 none of this evidence you speak of exists. There is no cosmological, historical or biological evidence of god. If there was real, convincing evidence, everyone would believe in god.
How do you differentiate someone who claims to talk to god from someone who is hallucinating or is mentally ill?
How do you know NDE are simply not the result of an oxygen deprived brain? You think miracles are evidence? Go to a Las Vegas magic show, you’ll see things that seem impossible.
Your ‘holy Scriptures’ are just one set of Holy scriptures claimed by 100’s of religions around the world. They believe theirs as much as you believe yours. Who’s right?
The ultimate arrogance is to think that this unimaginably vast universe with its trillions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars and uncountable planets was created for you. And it was created by a personal god who has human-like emotions and who loves you and communicates with you.
That is the height of egotism and arrogance
@@fess749 Wow. No, its basically the absence of it.
But I had "the luck" (doesnt exist) to be so desperate to knock on His door, that He opened it for me. I take the "stupid" back, because I 100% know how you see it that way. My whole life was basically the same. Made no sense to me at all. About a year ago everything changed. And now I its hard to imagine how blind I was. But noone in this world can walk the walk for you. The thing that at least convinced me enough to genuinely search for all of it whether its true, were all those end time prophecies that already were or are being fullfilled right now. Like an instructuon manual or a global role play. Noone hundreds or thousands of years ago could see all of it coming. There is just no way. Then NDEs (sry, what you said about them makes no sense at all - do your research) and so on. I personally experienced miracles and have a relationship with the Creator who talks to me. And no, I'm not mentally ill. But He is just not interested in anybody who does not believe in Him. Like this you will never find out. No, you actually will. But at this point, it will be too late.
@@synthtonic4954 I’m sure you realize that if you had been abducted at birth, taken to Saudi Arabia and raised there, you’d be making these same type of claims for your experiences with Islam. Religions are cults. It doesn’t matter which one you join. You’ll be indoctrinated, convinced, and any evidence that challenges your faith will be dismissed because it doesn’t agree with whatever holy scripture you’ve been indoctrinated in.
How do you know your scriptures are right and the others are wrong.? The Bible is just a book written by Iron Age Jews for Iron Age Jews.
I can't understand why its so hard for people to believe that the earth is only 6000 years? GOD is GOD, HE could have made everything in 6 seconds if HE so chose to.
The 'instant-on' simulation theory of Creation is a valid theory. I think when you look at scientific evidence it seems a little bland to just say God started the simulation and in 144 hours it was all done. It's not that what He accomplished, if viewed as being done in 144 hours, isn't amazing but seems to skip or bypass so much other ways he could have done it.
It doesn't have to mean life evolved over hundreds of millions or billions of years in order to believe it took longer than 144 hours. The flow of time is the real question as we cannot know or understand how that works or worked with God back then (or now).

Couple of simple facts that show how poor this actually is. The Egyptians living next door to Judea never noticed this mythical flood. The friction that all that water in that time scale would have cause would have burnt off the atmosphere.
The story shows Yahweh as a violent sadist. He drown pregnant women, he drown babies, he drown all the millions of animals that did not get on the Ark. A moral deity would have simply made everybody infertile and let them die out naturally then if any of the babies born and unborn or the toddlers had proved good then he could have reversed the infertility for them.

Verses 1 and 2 of Genesis Chapter 1 form the introduction to what the chapter is about. There is no gap etc., but just normal written expression practice.
One thing that seems impossible to discuss with anyone is "What does the Bible definition for the word "Earth"? What is it that appeared 6000 years ago and got the name of Earth?
If we look at the 3rd day we see God making Seas. We are then told that God called the DRY land "Earth". So obviously the appearance of the Earth was a consequence of God making the Seas. What do Seas have around them... LAND that is a continuation of the land that forms the sea BASIN and that is above the surface level of the water.
If the land became DRY on the 3rd day then it must have been WET before this day, right? The water was not in a basin before this day, which means that it must have covered the whole planet, right? The 2nd day tell us that God turned the middle of the water of verse 2 into a firmament that God named "Heaven". There was a layer of water above "Heaven" and a layer of water below "Heaven". Obviously, it was the lower layer of water that went into the sea basins that God made on the 3rd day. God must have formed the basins in the land referred to as "the Face of the Deep" in verse 2.
It was the DRY CONDITION of the land that gives us the EARTH that surrounds the SEAS. Earth is clearly NOT the planet.
It is clear from the rest of the Bible that our PLANET, as well as the stars, was made by God and verses 1 and 2 make it clear that God made this planet covered by water. We are not told when God made the planet or the universe. The 5th day tells us that WINGED fowl FLY in the Firmament of Heaven, which means that Heaven is the Atmosphere.
The presentations of organizations like Answers in Genesis and Creation International completely ignore the context of Genesis Chapters 1 and 2, which is the conflict between God and Lucifer/Satan over who should rule the universe. What happened in the Genesis creation week was part of God's response to the rebellion of Lucifer and his angels. God made our water covered planet inhabitable and put Adam and Eve on it and told them to fill the planet with descendants. The fall of Adam and Eve did not have to happen. It would appear from what Jesus said that the purpose of Adam and Eve and their descendants was to replace the fallen angels.
This is fascinating🤔.
I just want to thank everyone that has taken the time to scientifically prove the bible. Noah's ark and this ark to me is a symbol of hope.

If I write a self help book, and put “Bible” on the title page, and the say this book was fully inspired by the divine… is that enough for you to believe that it was actually written by God? Of course not. Why? Because it’s just coming from me, I came up with the concept, no one else was there to confirm it was divinely inspired… oh wait… wasn’t Moses… the only one on the mountain when God supposedly “gave him” the scriptures?… hmm 🤔
The only evidence that you have to back the claim that the Holy Spirit wrote the Bible is the fact that so many people believed it… for the longest time… but that’s not prove… people believed the earth was flat for the longest time. And? That misinformation didn’t stand in the way of people reproducing and building civilizations.
I urge everyone who’s reading this comment, to think critically. I’m not saying there’s no God. We can’t prove nor disprove His existence, with the tools we have now. So, you’re totally allowed to believe in God, and believe in evolution. The only thing that stands between those two, is you and only you. You can agree that God exists and that there’s a greater purpose, and that we are all part of His intelligent design, but at the same time you can accept gay people, reject racism, love everyone, no matter their background.

I found out something utterly amazing about Genesis, and it took looking at the Legacy Standard Bible, the approved text by AiG. Now it is the assertion of AiG that everything within the text, is without error, and a true historical account of Creation and beyond. What the Bible says therefore cannot be a lie or mistruth, because everything in the text was given to the author from God. There are and can be no errors or contradictions. Everything stated within Genesis is a historical account of actual events. So we have Genesis 4:16-22 LSB "... 16 Then Cain went out from the presence of Yahweh and [j]settled in the land of [k]Nod, east of Eden.
17 Then Cain [l]knew his wife, and she conceived and [m]gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son. The Children of Caiin, therefore came from "outside". Now the text says Cain went out from the "presence" of God, what it doesn't say, is whether or not Cain et al., stopped believing in God, or weren't considered God's Children anymore.

Prior to the Maitland flood in 1955, the length of the Hunter River from Mailtand to Morpeth was about 20km (apparently), after the flood there route decreased to about 9 kilometres. Hence to force of the flood waters carved a new route within a couple of days. Hence here in Maitland, NSW we have evidence of the devastation that was caused by Noah's flood in our area. Steve M Au
How does the tiny flood you describe give evidence for a flood that supposedly covered the whole planet? It simply does not follow logically. You have given in to the fallacy of confirmation bias that just about every younger earther falls for.
floods have occurred all over the world. however there is considerable evidence against a global flood that covered all mountaintops and killed of all animals except those on a single boat that repopulated the entire biosphere from a single point in the middle east. All possible observable evidence in the world refutes this. Including the presence of plants. all plants on earth would die with the animals were all land flooded for nearly a year.
And when you look at the new part is it straight? Because that is what fast sudded flows do they move in a straight line. Now look at the grand canyon with its twists and turns and try thinking.
You only have to look at erosion and sediment to determine..... look at the shelf surrounding America its too small to be millions of years old worth of erosion and deposits, but it's too great to have not been caused by a catastrophic flood that changed the shape of everything. It's like your little flood times a million and the same results, increase your flood by landmass, water volume, earthquake and weather events.....
@@LampWaters these shelves are created by geologic movements; plate tectonics. your logic that somehow a flood change them quickly doesnt "hold water". just like the issue of where the volume of water came from and went to, which would be several times the current volume of the oceans. and that nearly all plants would become extinct in such an event where the entire surface was immersed for a year. the micro-rationalizations for global flood just don't work.

generally good; it is worth pointing out 2 things: 1st, the Hebrew text most of our modern translations is based on - The Masoretic, quite a late copy of the Hebrew original, has incorrectly emended the post-diluvian genealogies by removing 100 years from the age when the relevant son was born, in six generations, and 50 years in the seventh, pushing the Flood forward by 650 years - so it should be dated closer to 3000 BC rather than 2350 BC; 2nd, Jewish genealogies did not always include every generation as we would know it, so some relations are not father-son, but may span 2 or 3 generations - that is the only necessary explanation for the discrepancies between Luke's and Matthew's genealogies from Zerubbabel to Joseph.
And then you say you accept science. You're fooling yourselves.
Who decided that Adam started aging the day he was created? Perhaps age didn’t become a thing until sin entered the world. God didn’t specify the length of time between creation and sin.
yep there is a lot of gap in times because adam wasn't meant to die or age that was is gift from God hence God saying don't eat from the tree of knowledge for if you do you will surely die. i don't think the aging process happened until then. but there are many other time gaps and the formation of the earth was something that God had seen he said it was an empty void sitting there so the earth can in fact be older then 6000 years but these things not mesh with the romen church teaching with is what heavily influenced the christian bible after king james.
God did. God created sin, didn’t he? Creation and sin at the same time.
@@stevenbatke2475 no actually he didn't he created temptation and creation together that was the true of knowledge simple rule don't eat of the tree. there was no sin at that time for there was only one rule.
@@stevenbatke2475 Wrong. Satan created sin. And sin entered the world through man from Satan.
*_Who decided that Adam started aging the day he was created?_*
From the biblical perspective of determining the age of the earth it doesn't matter - the bible gives Adam's AGE when he DIED and the age of his descendent son, thereby giving a continuous line of age tracking. Besides which, Genesis 1 and Exodus 20:8-11 simplifies matters considerably.
There are some questions though.
For instance: the seventh day in which no creation took place but is God,s rest from his creational activities had no morning or evening and therefore is still ongoing and appears to occupy a seven thousand year period. If all the other six days were the same length then each creation day would be 7000 years long. The number 7 does represent completion on God,s mind. Seven equal days in a week. The Jewish sabbath on the last of 7 equal days 7 years and then a sabbath jubilee year. Forgiveness is 70 x 7.
If you study the bible thoroughly, you get to know the nature of God and how he thinks. He does not appear to do things suddenly but rather takes his time and is consistent.
When God created the fish and the birds, he told them to increase and multiply and fill the earth. Why would he tell them to do this if the earth was already filled. If death did not come about until after the flood, would,t this be a foolish command. If the earth was created, instantly filled with fish and birds, why not, on the sixth day, fill it with humans.
Also Adam was created from the dust of the earth, indicating a technique used by God to create humans. Would this method not apply to anything else.
Seven thousand year creation days give more credibility to bible believers simply because everything had to come into existence in it's turn.
I find it doubtful that death in the plant world did not occure. There are fish minnows that eat algae in which case the entire creature is consumed
.In 7000 years, coral reefs could have been built as coral increased and multiplied to fill the earth. Algae and other underwater vegetation would already have been in place for a variety of fish. There are vegetarian fish. I know of a carp the eats water hyacinth. The fish population probably would have been controlled by the amount of food available It works that way even now. The more Rabbits, the more lynx
After the flood in Noah,s Day, the process of establishing vegetation would have been a slower than usual process. Plants that can live in sand and gravel would have to flourish first to provide humus for the plants that need organic compost to live in. There would be more seeds available than when creation first took place. Lots of seeds survive a water soaking for years. Blueberry and raspberry seeds remain in the forest floor, enduring water deluges and droughts until the forest is cut down thus exposing the ground to sunlight and ideal growing conditions. A several month water soaking would not be a problem in Noah,s Day.
God is allowing 7000 years to establish a righteous new earth. Why not allow everything time to establish themselves also.
As I see it, God uses nature to work out things, not what appears to some to be magic
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. I believe this statement represents a much longer time than part of the first day. Then He directed his attention to the earth. This began the first day.
The universe contains millions of Galaxies including their solar systems, all methodically placed in their relative positions so they do not work in chaos. God has an eternity to accomplish His projects, why hurry.
When Moses wrote Genesis, he probably thought that each day was 24 hours and wrote the word yom in such a manner to indicate this. It is up to us to study the Bible to determine God,s nature and how he works.
Ya know, I have so many commentaries and systematic theology books and there is something wrong with all of them. So, I stick to the WORD OF GOD and keep my faith in what God has already revealed before any of those men had a voice. I trust in my Saviour and HE is my LORD, and counting on Him for my healing come Wednesday.

The chapters concerning the creation of the world in Genesis are definitely poetic and the narrative is told twice.

He gives songs, dreams, and revelations that all have poetic elements because they all fit perfectly in unison with everything else he made in the world. This world is innately poetic. The book of proverbs is all poems and all true and good advice.
Correct me if I’m wrong but in reference to the mountains, didn’t God say sometime after the flood he separated the lands? So in theory (based on our understanding of tectonic plates) the mountains would have actually risen in height?

I have an honest question. My motive is not to be contrary, devisive, rude or disrespectful. I hear a lot of Young Earth Creationists refer to creation week as literal days, yet when they speak of weekly rest, they do not mention the seventh-day Sabbath. Doesn't the fact that God specifies day 7 as the only day that He hallowed and sanctified point to it as the true Sabbath? If we look at Genesis 1 & 2 as the relevent and accurate retelling of creation, then we ought to worship God through rest on the day He set apart. Does Scripture mention elsewhere that it is not that specific day? Please help. I would really like to know.
Yes. The seventh day is the day of rest. The Jewish people follow from Friday sundown to Saturday sundown and there is no mention anywhere in Scripture of this changing.
There was a point when the earth was in existence but it was without form and void right? The point when the Spirit of God hovered over the water and the deep... How long was it in that state before the seven day creation period started? Could that account for the earth being older than the 6 day creation period? I don't know if certain parts of the creation story can be taken in a chronological order.

@Ade Kakwandi
I agree with you. I also think that God had created all the planets in the universe prior to exposing the earth and the creation. It is possible that the earth was years older than the actual creation of everything else.
It says that the earth was void and without form. So it makes me think that the earth was frozen over and God said "let there be light" and the ice melted and turned to water. He then separated the water from the earth and the sky. Now the earth is visible. He unveiled the Earth and gave it life.
So I believe science and Christians are right. Six literal days to create the Earth. And science could be close in the years the planet earth existed.

As a Bible believing Christian who also has a keen interest in archeological, anthropology, and geology… it’s incredibly hard to understand a young earths mindset. They seem to line up their views based solely on “anti-evolution” but fail to acknowledge the absolute evidence of the antiquity of the earth and its history.

They would have had to be built before the flood, but young creationists only believe in a few hundred years between creation and the flood which would make it impossible for a global empire to emerge to have the knowledge, man power, and will to build such incredible structures that are impossible today? How can you explain the ancient Samaritan tablets that are older than Genesis? How can you say there was no recorded or written record before Moses wrote genesis which was thousands of years after the flood!

Before we reach the specifically Hebrew parts of Genesis, with Abraham and his line, the prior parts are short and schematic and probably learned by heart at some point for oral transmission. Whoever transmitted that the way the Hebrews went, priorised fidelity to source over plentyful material.
I think Mahabharata and Ramayana can be traced to opposite priority - lots of material, and then both harmonising it and introducing idolatry led to misrepresentations of what happened.
Here's my concern, Tim, if you read this. The church believed that the earth was flat until Galileo Galilei discovered that it was round, and that it orbits around the sun. The church, convinced by Scripture that the earth is flat and has four corners, with four winds, rejected Galileo's discovery, and he was forced to recant or face death.
Now that we know that Galileo was right, we have been forced to go back to Scripture and reinterpret verses that indicate that the world has four corners, etc. (Job 37, Isaiah 11, Ezekiel 7, and in the NT, Revelation 7).
This was, and perhaps still is, an embarrassment to the church. In Galileo's case, science was right, and the Bible needed to be re-understood in the light of scientific discovery.
BTW, I am a young earth creationist, and I believe that you are right. I just want to make it understood that there are many who want to leave the door open for science to be right, so as not to embarrass the church if it should some day be proven that the earth is, indeed, billions of years old. I don't think that day or that proof will ever come, but I hope you can see that it is a love for the church and a love for the veracity of Scripture that motivates some people to want to leave the door open for a reinterpretation of the creation account.
Christians never thought the earth was flat. That is a well repeated misinformation. That statement is never included with a source or examples.
Maybe the 'church' of which you speak didn't have the scientific knowledge yet to know the earth was round and went around the sun. This church was not always perfectly following God in its history. In other words the church is filled with imperfect sinners like a hospital is filled with sick people. It doesn't discredit the church or the hospital. Both serve a purpose. It won't be until Jesus returns that we'll see perfection.
>"should some day be proven that the earth is, indeed, billions of years old"
It can never be proven that the earth is billions of years old. The ancient past is exactly that and any theory about about the age of the earth is just a theory. There is NO repeatable experiment that can prove that the earth is billions of years old.
The gold standard of science is the SCIENTIFIC METHOD, i.e a theory that can be tested, observed and most importantly be reproduced repeatedly and indefinitely by experiments.
The "earth is billions of years old" ideology is simply that - an ideology that relies on speculation which in turn is based on assumptions and extrapolation. Every single "proof" of billions of years such as radiometric dating are based on speculation, assumptions and extrapolation.
They all beg the question, i.e they make assumptions about conditions, uniform rates of decay and that extrapolation is valid and then they claim their theory is true because they've made those assumptions. That is not science. That is an ideology.
Science cannot prove age. The only way to know what happened in the distant past is to have a reliable eye witness who was there when it happened.
Science cannot prove the exact date of your birth. Science cannot even prove the age of your car.
You know when you were born only because of your birth certificate. A birth certificate is not a scientific model, it is a record from an eye witness (doctor) who was there when you were born.
You know the age of your car only because of the VIN plate. A VIN plate is not a scientific model, it is a record from an eye witness (someone in the car assembly plant) who was there when your car was manufactured and put together.
The SCIENTIFIC METHOD is what enables engineers to build skyscrapers, bridges, clean running water, sewer systems, electricity grids, power plants, satellites, mobile phones etc that enable modern society.
The scientists who claim they have proof of the age of the earth and universe have NEVER used the scientific method to prove their theories.
Don't be fooled into thinking that science can somehow "prove" the age of the earth because it can never be proven.

The bible is the answer to every important question in life and if anything contradicts it, we should always take what the bible says first and foremost. God was there. We weren't and neither were any scientists. 🙂🙏
Why did God create sin? Does the bible answer that?
@@stevenbatke2475 he didn't. Sin isn't a "creation." Sin is the absence of obedience to God. It's an abstract thing that came into being when mankind rebelled against God.

Please tell us who wrote the Genesis and we will believe you 😀
Adam wrote some of it until he died, Moses wrote what's left.
@@jamesgilchrist3890 Did Moses write the bit about his own death before or after he died?
@@RivaZA1 Adam died at 930 years old
@@RivaZA1 Well, see, here's the trick: Given that they had such long lifetimes it clearly means that they had a far superior physical and mental capability and capacity than we do today! So all they had to do was keep it in memory and re-tell it to their children. It's simple enough story to relate and get perfectly correct - most Jewish children are able to recite the first 5 books of the bible ( which incidentally is why I suspect they have such phenomenal understanding of maths, physics, business etc. - they have an unimaginably disproportionate influence on the world today ).
There's growing evidence that the alphabet we have today is an outflow of the Jewish nation's birth in Egypt. So even if Adam didn't write, we know for a fact that Moses could and did write the story of our origins - as he was in direct contact with GOD Himself - so God could also have told the creation story to Moses. In fact GOD DID write part of it down with His own finger - the ten commandments - which contains the part of the 6 day creation in verses 8-11 of Exodus 20.
@@RivaZA1 Well you have to consider Noah when God told him to build an ark. He knew nothing about how to build it. So God instructed him. I would think that when the Holy Spirit gives you wisdom, visions, etc. you are able to write and read and comprehend. It doesn't matter who wrote it, it only matters that we believe it was given to us by God to give us understanding.
That's right 👍 all 10 commandments...the one that says remember it's just in case you forget
That's refreshing to hear. So many times the Commandment that says "remember" is often forgotten.
Geologist Charles Lyell postulated that the present is the key to the past, but the truth is that the past is the key to the present.
24:50 God could easily make the Great Flood and not leave evidence if it was His will. I question this part because there is another place in the bible which would allow for the shape of the continents, and that is Jesus Christs death. We know from scripture that the earth shook so powerfully that the curtain at the temple of Jerusalem split in two. And that material is like a foot thick. But I could be wrong and the Great Flood did reshape the land. The answer I seek about this will certainly be answered by Lord Jesus when this world passes away.
Except there is plenty of evidence. It might help if you stop listening to so many atheists and listen to christians instead.

@@kyloooooo Why do you say trust man OR god? Why can’t it be both? Science doesn’t try to do anything. It doesn’t say that there is or isn’t a god. There’s no agenda in science. It’s about answering questions which we don’t have answers to yet.
@@kyloooooo God gave us the ability to think and to explore the secrets of the world, thats called science. So we dont´t think anymore that the earth is flat and is revolved by the sun. That had been a christian dogma for centuries based on the bible. When it comes to biology and evolution, I can´t imagine that God sits in heaven, watching us and rubbing his hands over how beautifully he has tricked us.
@@h.gonyaulax2190 God gave us the ability to know him and worship him by creating us in his image. Science is learning and understanding his creation and can be a form of worship. Secular scientist, as we humans tend to do, have taken something that is good and from God and perverted this and tried to use his own creation to contradict God and say he doesn't exist which is almost comical.
In regards to the earth being flat and all that, that was due to incorrect interpretation of the Bible and the church has corrected it's theology, not that 100% of christians all believed in that interpretation to begin with. With evolution, that is all man made ideology, of course God didn't trick us. He clearly told us how we were created and now man has created another lie and you shouldn't fall for it.
@@kyloooooo
I've only ever been told by other humans how we were created by a God
Is it the same for you?
editing hacks are more than just 'creativity hacks'. They are also designed to play on the subconscious. Editing hacks are designed to give either 'more punch' or to 'draw in'; 'more punch' to an otherwise boring scene or, to draw a person into the scene. I see editing hacks are employed in this presentation.
The one hangup i have is that it clearly says God made the Heaven and the Earth before the 6 days of Creation begins.
Have any of you read about the teacher in Ireland that refused to refer to a boy as a girl and was arrested and jailed for it? He refused to deny his Christian faith and rebuke what God wants.
Good. I hope he gets ten years.
Wow, I just looked that up. Amazing how fast the times are changing.
Well, I could hardly stop laughing. I find that it is incredible that there are some people that actually believe in a fairy story that is their bible. But here he is, trying to tell everyone that his bible is accurate and should be believed. Where is the proof?

@@lorobogers4198
Things aren't accurate by default.
The one claiming that something is accurate, has the burden of proof to show that their claim is correct.
If this person fails to show that their claim is correct, then the unconvinced need only point at their failure. They don't need to show that the claim is not accurate.
@@drewdrake9130 never said I claim it’s true by default, but you can’t prove it isn’t, either. So comes down to faith. I’ll believe in God, you can believe you came from a monkey.

Study a little of what The eruption of my St. Helens did to the landscape in that area
Thank YOU … Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Christians stuck together on these issues? Millions of years sews doubt in Gods Holy Word.
25:04 nope because in that case polystrate trees and plants growing on layers that were layers down by the flood wouldn't be possible and the record would be chaotical and not ordered (meaning mammals would be found for example Ordovician) because trapped by a flood and heavy waves and all they would NOT be able to escape - talk about rapid burial. Plus, there are evaporites where there shouldn't be
26:50 dependa. in the first (?) of Paul's letter he talks about prophets preaching in the whole world or something and to my knowledge the people he was talking about were mainly in the area Paul was traveling in
Polystrate tree fossils must have been deposited in a sudden event, similar to the Mount saint helens eruption.
@@sliglusamelius8578 at least trees near st Helens had substrate to grow on. Polystrate trees in the flood model I hear about don't. Example: If the carboniferous layer(s) gets deposited and a seedling starts to grow on it, the Permian layer(s) (or carboniferous, depending on the layer) will burry it, as 40 days to a year is not enough time to grow that big - and that's ignoring factors like salinity. Unless you say those trees did not grow there but were thrown there by the flood, but then the question is how likely is it that many will stand upright and not lay on the side like in rivers - and why they are not found in certain layer below - for example Cambrian or Ordovician, maybe even Silurian; I mean, trees can't climb. That's what I don't understand... Y'all (or some of you) try to explain fossils by their physical fitness but no one could explain it in a way people like me understand the distribution of plants, brachiopods and microorganisms in that scenario - or rather apparently no one I've heard attempted so far...
Mind: I don't argue against rapid burial in the tree case as that's what Wikipedia states too
@@rydrakeesperanza5370
Oh I’m not saying that a flood caused polystrate tree fossils, I am not qualified to judge about a world-wide flood event. I’m merely stating that such fossils are evidence of a sudden event and not the result of gradual deposition of material. Geologists need to admit that catastrophic events shaped the landscape in many places. The rock strata can occur with sudden layering or deposition of material, as seen after Mount St. Helens eruption.
I love this. To me it is ALL common sense! 🙏🥰❤️🌹👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Yes it does,our Jesus makes perfect,looking up.looking forward,blessings
This video is so timely, with the new James Webb telescope having just disproved the "big bang" theory. Some of the scientists that helped build the JW telescope are Christians. I think they must be rejoicing at what God has done through them.
How did it disprove it? If you are talking about the misquoted astrophysicist in a science denier's article, well that is not disproving anything.
"disproved the big bang theory" ??? No it didn't!!!
Which scientists there are Christians? and how many are Atheists?
I agree that 6 days is 6 24 hour days. Unfortunately he didn't really address Genesis 1:2 which tells us the earth was dark, without form and void, and that God hovered over the waters of the earth. So something preexisted the 6 day creation. Something was created before day 1 where God said "Let there be light", which would be the sun. That is where a large part of the gap theory comes from (along with the suggestion that the 6 days don't mean a literal 24 hour period, but perhaps millions or billions of years). I believe in the 6 24 hour day creation. But I've not been able to reconcile that with the dark and void, preexisting, earth. It is a mystery and I think God is intentional in that some things will remain mysteries this side of heaven. When it pleases God that each believer, at their appointed time, is to go home to be with Him, then we will understand all.
Genesis 1:1 is making a statement that God created everything. Genesis 1:2 is talking about the initial created condition of the earth on day one before God utters the words, "Let there be light." There cannot be for example millions or even tens of years between the creation of plant life on day three and the sunshine they depend upon on day four. The first three days of creation the source of the light was YHWH himself. He could have continued to do that throughout all eternity but he chose to make other lights instead.
Another thing you've got to realize a day according to man and a day according to God are not the same thing. Parts of the Bible written based on God's days and those are a whole different timeline compared to man's days. I had an angel appear to me, and she said we will be with you soon. It was 43 years before that angel spoke to me again. No I don't know where you get your information. But I had prayed asking for help just save a young lady that was so happy and carefree that she was becoming careless. I did love her but I felt like it was a test to see if she was going to be righteous or fall by the wayside. But anyway a couple months went by and then on her birthday we went to go for a walk and I saw two angels come down from the sky they were taller than a telephone pole and I say walked over a block to the next street they shrunk down a little bit and they came up that block and then cut across the field to come over to where we were behind the high school. And some supernatural experiences took place while I was standing there allowing them to talk to my friend Patty without my interference. I guess I just appeared from sight for a while. But anyway that's not the only time I've had two angels appear to me when I was young my grandmother had a premonition about going to the woods down at the end of her Street across the highway. And she wasn't sure we should do it when the time came near. And that was the most extreme supernatural experience I've ever had.
So I'm just the lowest man on Earth, God has sent angels to help bring me home. So I'm just nobody but you are the lowest fool teaching the falsehood because you do not know what they did to the Bible. You do not know what they did to the church. Open your heart I know God directly God the Father God the creator of all creation if you put anything before him you'll be cast out..
So basically you can not question the bible regardless of it's inaccuracies, how does this still exist as a belief systen?
@@jasonreed2116 Shall we start with Genesis 1:1?
@@jasonreed2116 Firstly, Are you starting from a position that the bible can't be wrong?
Like you I tried to find out what was not true or inaccurate the more I read the more I found out how true it was especially now in the Book of Revelation
@@garymartin1045 Appears it's the only book you've ever read
Of course you can question it. God is not threatened by our honest questions. Read the Scriptures. Be honest with God about what you don’t understand. He will help you. I’ve been a Christian for nearly five decades, and I still have questions. That’s how deep the Word is. It’s beyond absolute comprehension.
If the proofs of the earth's age via layers and fossils seem too contrived to you and you distrust radiometric studies, here are two more easier understandable examples:
1) The University of Hohenheim in Germany has tree ring analyses going back about 13,000 years.
2) The world-renowned German Polar and Marine Research Institute (AWI) has ice cores from Greenland that show annual snowfalls like tree rings going back about 800,000 years.
Both independent methods can be checked by radiometric measurements.
If you think this hasn’t already been refuted you are ignorant
@@cosmictreason2242 Apparently you ignore current scientific sources and findings. Why don't you go to the pages of the institutes mentioned?
Then name the sources for the alleged refutation.
And sorry! I am a scientist with 40 professional years in this field.

@@cosmictreason2242 Since you seem to know them, could you make my job easier and at least provide a source. Or do you not know any and just parrot what others tell you?
@@cosmictreason2242 I thought so: You have nothing to say.
Romans 1:20 is not talking about mankind. "They are without excuse" is referring to believers in God. From Romans 1:18 to the end of that chapter Paul is talking about backsliding christians. A non-believer can't suppress the truth until they are exposed to the truth. One has to know the truth before they can suppress it. The bible states these people knew God. If you know God you're not a non-believer.
Study that section of Romans. Especially verses 18 - 23. Don't just blow through it once. Study the wording and ask yourself, "would a non-believer know this without any outside influence?" I don't know about anyone else but I had to search for God before I knew Him.
Nobody except the religious tell you if you want to understand this book, read one sentence on page 104 then two sentences on page 476 and then half a page on page 857. Why don you want people to just read the book?
What's the point in reading the book if you don't understand what you're reading?
If the guy in the video wants to be a teacher than he should know what he's talking about.
He doesn't.
You have a nice day.😁😁
There is a BIG difference between relying on the Word of God and using this to justify relying on your INTERPRETATION of the Word of God.
