Did God Literally Create the Universe in 6 Days? | Ken Ham

- The evidence that ordinary days are being referred to is so overwhelming that even liberal Hebrew scholars admit that the author of Genesis could not have had any other intent-particularly when the words ‘evening’ and ‘morning’ are used from the first day.

Mr. Ken Ham,
I wish I could tell you how much your lessons mean to me. I was agnostic, lukewarm, agnostic, atheist, lukewarm (house built on sand) my entire life. Like many, I also fused historical science with the Bible or counted Genesis off as just a fable. This was all during one of my lukewarm charades, and felt I knew the right from the wrong biblical views.
Then I came across your debate with Bill Nye, and thought you were mad, a "young earther" pfft, "let me watch Bill Nye destroy this guy", I spent an entire day watching your lessons, I could not stop and this was one of the first things that started me on a rock (which being the beginning is a darn good spot). I knew you wore the armor of God and understood, the second you start labeling what's a myth and what's not, of God's word, your foundation is doomed to collapse, which The Lord Jesus Christ has taught. Today I am shocked by how many actually go against a literal six day creation, knowing from my experience how dangerous that path is. Also I can say God has graced me with opening my heart to Jesus Christ and through him I can repent of my sins. The change in me is nothing I could ever have done myself, thank you guys and much love! ❤
Glad I read this, good to hear a wise and willing young man has come to his self and is a seeker of truth. It blesses my life each time I see the younger generation coming to the truth of the gospil of christ. Thank you brother stay strong and get the word into you as much as possible. It's an amazing , exciting, powerful. Living book. It's transforms one heart and mind by the Holy Spirit.
Only 3 ways God can communicate with a person. 1. The word. 2.the creation. 3. Our conscience. So you know if you seek you will find. 1= read the word. 2= the universe of matter was made for the universe of mind to enjoy. Hope you see God in all creation. It's him saying to us I love you. And last but not least. 3= prayer and awareness of him a close relationship by faith that he assures us by the blessings and joy in the Holy ghost he sheds abroad in our heart by his love and by this love we are born into. We know we are in him and he in us. It's tells us to draw near to him and he will draw near to us. He does, he does draw near when he knows we really want him and need his assuring presence and the Holy Spirit comes to comfort us. He comes when we let him know we need him , not just because we pray like hey grand PA! By grand parents! But he knows the difference when it's our hearts desire. Keep on the right path. Keep a joyful song on your heart to him. He will lift you up.. find Christian friends is a must. My prayers are for you fellow. So happy for you. I am a minister I am sorry about the long word salad. I just want to encourage as many as I can. Love helping..
Thank you for sharing your story my Brother 🙏🏾
Better not read the Sumerian tablets, which predate the Bible by thousands of years and contain stories, such as a great flood, from which the Bible story was derived. By the way, there is no historical evidence for the existence of Moses outside of the Bible, anywhere. The Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten is generally regarded as the first monotheist in history and defaced the images of previous gods in Egyptian hieroglyphs and carvings. He and his followers were run out of Egypt, but first he went to the Great Pyramid and took the power station, Arc of the Covenant, out of its granite container, before crossing the Sea of Reeds, not the Red Sea. So, whoever wrote the Bible distorted history by fabricating this whole story of the Jews being enslaved in Egypt, of which there is no record anywhere in the Egyptian records, and they recorded EVERYTHING.
@kerrythomas6220 almost like Moses was alive at least a thousand years if not more after creation. The fact these predate genesis isn't shocking or faith breaking
You do it all yourself, you are amazing, don't let the preachers tell you any different. We were created by an amazing universe, and we can do so many things, that preachers, steer you away from. 😢
What I found most interesting about Genesis 1 was that when Moses wrote about the time of creation, he knew about the Pangea, whereas it wasn’t recognised in geology until 1920.
Considering he had only seen the Nile, and a small stretch of the Red Sea, as far as water is concerned, I think that in itself is a wonderful God given moment of wisdom that he knew about what he wrote, at that time of his life.
I’m aware that there is some concern about the introduction of the Sun and the Moon on day 4, whereas it is generally recognised that the Sun was around long before the forming of Earth.
I suggest, that if there had been anyone around in those times, they would not have seen anything through the thick fog which he acknowledges was engulfing the planet from day 2.
The other wonderful fact that I find so confirming, is that the language of the writing of Genesis 1 can be literally translated into every tongue throughout the world today.
I like to start to find ways of finding common agreement with any point of discussion and work from that.
The most wonderful thing is that He did it, and it all starts the beautiful story of introducing Jesus to us, and every book throughout the Bible just adds to that.
He is coming soon, and everyday is a step closer to that wonderful realisation. Hallelujah 😍
How do you explain how it says earth was created on day 1 but according to science earth was created 9 billion years after the Big Bang
Thank you for your honesty.
I would never fault a person for asking questions about doctrine, especially something so big and described with such simple, short terms like how the world and universe was created. The thing is, precepts are built on precepts. It is often easier to understand on deeper levels when you have the basics firmly understood. There is a lifetime of learning about ourselves, our own personalities, our person struggles, our weaknesses. Getting caught up in certain topics that really don’t effect our journey to repentance wouldn’t seem to be a high priority. There is a reason God didn’t go into much detail on the how, he instructed prophets to teach about the why. And even to say, teach nothing but repentance, for it is the only thing keeping you through the gates of salvation. Happy Easter brothers and sisters:)
Imagine if we had a world where people read. I feel him. Thanks for your work.
thanks
6 days just as God said . If God did it all then he would have had to do it all in six days or the animal's would not have had food to eat. Grass and all eatables fiirst then man and animals after.. logical . Smart God thank you Jesus.
Before Adam committed the first sin all of the animals were herbivores. Not saying you’re wrong or I’m right I do not no. But it does say in the Bible to the Lord 1 day is 1000 years and 1000 years is a day. It could’ve taken God in actuality 6000 years to make the earth which makes sense because right now biblically speaking the earth is 6000 years which since the first man is born that would make us 12000 years
So he makes the earth in 6 days and he destroys the earth in 6 days also says in revelations that when the rapture happens we will be able to enjoy the Lords rest with him or 1000 years which is why Satan is imprisoned for 1000 years before he’s destroyed.
You can’t have an evening and morning without the sun and there was no sun for the first 3 days and 24 hours is the time the earth takes to make one full rotation in relation to the sun. Again no sun. Sorry Ken. Your reasoning is nonsense.
Many people think the word "yom" means the whole period of creation in Gen 2:4. I think it means ordinary day referring back to Gen 1:1,2. There was a creation day before the Almighty Creator said, "It will be light". There is creation day followed by creation week.
It does mean a literal day.
Personally, I've never heard anyone dispute the word "day" in Genesis as meaning anything but a 24-hour time span, but apparently it's a big enough issue elsewhere, as this video depicts. I just find it unusual that it's contentious to begin with, as the scripture is quite plain, as the context _is_ there.
You should meet Jehovah witness,You will be amazed athe lengths to discredit what God states.
God, stated nothing. Man wrote the book.
Love this! Thank you Ken, praise the Lord!!!
With God a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like a day
Thanks for the video, how do we defend against criticism that the 24 hour day didn’t exist until the sun was created? I’m assuming it’s since the earth would still take 24 hours to spin in place regardless of if there was a sun or not (meaning it’s still all 24 hour days), but I wanted to see if there was a better scriptural explanation of how time was kept outside of having the sun and stars
Thanks, I love u guys!
Keep up the good work
It would have to be good,first
I do find it interesting that the Holy Spirit had Moses write it, And the evening and morning were the ??? day. (Seems more like 12 hours). Not the evening and the evening which seems more like 24 hours. People still don't comprehend evening was the start of a new day in those times like midnight is to us now.
How could there be days before the sun was made?
i strongly believe that the word 'days' use before the sun was even created meant 'time' or 'era'. like during the DAYS of our grandfathers
God said "let there be light." So there was light before the sun. We don't exactly know what that is, but it was either a light source, or God himself.
@@TheSaintFrenzy We also have to consider metaphors. Remember when Jesus said these two things: "This temple will be destroyed and in 3 days it will rise up." and also, "If you have faith as small as mustard seed, you can move mountains."
Those 2 things were not literal. Jesus also did not explain it to his listeners if i remember correctly.
Real question is, how can there be a sun without days? 🤔
Because God is Light. He doesn't need a sun.
When did God create water?
You can pretty much think water was created the first day (GEN 1:2)when it says Earth was without form and void(like a bubble in a space movie) then says, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. (deep what?) And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Hope that helps you.
And Father Christmas comes down your chimney each year.
The principal of God visiting man at a specific period of time warrants a hermeneutical effort of interpretation. The word Yom is part of that effort and needs to be taken seriously to understand scripture. This video does an excellent job of doing that.
What does god actually do these days
SWEET!!!😀😀👍
brilliant
The facts? Should be interesting.
Predetermined meaning of the Hebrew word DAY (YOM) based on how we in today’s culture understand what day means to us ,as opposed to how a culture thousands of years ago understood what different uses (day) meant then , needs some work.
Short answer = no
2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
@@JoaquimVieira7 The guy is trying to explain away scripture in order to support his narrative.
In the time of Genesis there was no such thing as a 24 hr day.
A day was simply a period of time.
There is no proof, either scriptural or scientific to support his theory.
I wish Ken would debate Hank Hanegraaff, like Ken he does not believe in TE, but he does not believe in a young Earth...
10:05 There actually is a place in Genesis where it applies. God speaking to Adam in Genesis 2:17, and Adam died the same millennium that he disobeyed.
The text translates to "IN that day", not "ON that day." It has the same meaning as "you shall die in your sins", as in 'in the presence' or 'in the consequences.'
@@HuntingTarg also a possibility
No..
Did the fight and rebellion in heaven happen within the 24 hours? Like he created all the angels and satans fall all happen in the same day?
Does Ken ham have a talk on whether the earth is globe or flat?...
It’s a globe
It's neither. It's actually a giant turtle roaming through the universe with 4 Elephants on it's back who in turn support a large round disc.
Eric dubay on UA-cam does they are very interesting.
He believes in a global sphere. Just heard him at the G3 conference.
What does the bible, say is what's important! Not what Ken ham says and his opinion. The bible says it's on foundations and un-movable..
Our 24 hours day, as well as our mornings and evenings, are set by the rotation of the Earth in relation to the Sun. Since Sun and Moon only appeared on the 4th day, what clock exactly do you use on the first morning? And on the next one? Then, time is not fixed, it depends on gravity, which depends on... And so on. Wanting to stick to a literal 24 hours day for events that completely escape our understanding of the laws of physics governing them, is a futile exercise. The REAL point, the one that IS actually important, is "In the beginning God created". Don't lose the forest while arguing about the perceived color of a leaf...
I think God could have done it in one day if He had wanted to!!!
I thought the heavens and earth were created before the days?
***you just forgot to look into the facts, but truth will make you free.***
Please, please tell me, where in the Holy Writ is the term God-man? Or God the Son??!!
Good question Priscilla. Colossians c2 v9 states that in ‘Him (Christ) all the fullness of the Godhead dwelt bodily’. The God head being the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and it also asserts the deity of Jesus. 2 Corinthians c5 v19 states that ‘God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself’. I have looked in my concordance New King James Bible Bible and can find no reference to God man or God the Son, however, it is clear from scripture that God was in Christ and that God did become a man yet fully God in Christ. We obviously have to be careful not to read into anything that is not in scripture, but it is quite clear that the above references declare that God in the Son and also became a man. The word trinity’ is not stated in the Bible, yet we know that God exists as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. One in three and three in one. Hope that answers your question?
Thy was no days back please we don't actually know
The number 7 does have an astronomic origin, which recurs across many cultures. From a geocentric perspective (the common assumption until just a few hundred years ago) there are 7 heavenly bodies, visible to the naked eye, which move independently of the fixed stars: Sun and Moon, then Mercury Venus Mars Jupiter Saturn. They were associated with the major pagan gods, and the ancients named the days of the week for them.
The English names for the days are from the Germanic names for the Roman gods, hence Thor's Day instead of Jove's Day.
There are exactly 7 visible _[with the naked eye]_ bodies _[naturally occurring]_ in the sky _[which noticeably in a human lifetime move relative to distant stars]..._
...except when comets are visible, except when meteors fall through the atmosphere, except when planets are not visible because they are aligned with the sun or moon, except when the bodies are not visible because they're on the other side of the earth, except Saturn's rings.
This is just another way in which 7 is not just coincidental, but the coincidence is contrived by a barrage of caveats. People jump through hoops to assign significance to numbers, or to try to assign preferred small counting numbers where they literally don't apply.
The idea of creation happening in exactly 7 days already sounds suspiciously made up because of an obvious obsession with the number 7...
But to correlate it with astronomy is especially ironic. Astronomy has shown that the length of a day changes, that there aren't whole numbers of days in either a lunar month or a solar year, and that the approximate number days in neither a lunar month nor solar year are even divisible by 7.
The Hebrew people used to have essentially leap months to account for the difference between lunar and solar cycles, and that was still off by over an hour each decade.
It was a common misunderstanding in medieval Europe. In ancient Africa (Egypt, specifically, before the Greeks in 300BC & the Arabs in 700AD), it was a common understanding that the solar system was heliocentric.
So you believe that the universe was created in six days? You are nuts!! In the beginning refers to when the whole universe was created including the earth, the six days was the preparation of the earth for men took place, and we were given dominion over the animals, which surely did not include dinosaurs!!!
We have all been lied to
Yes, by AIG.
No
No what?
@@jamesddrake9282 no to did a god create anything in 6 days
So then, the three nights and three days that Jesus was in the tomb were three 24-hour days.
No. It says on the third day, not after 3 days. Crucified on Friday, rose on Sunday. That’s closer to 48 hours.
How about dinosaurs million years ago? How Adam and eve 156 thousand years ago? How God created 6 days before dinosaurs died?
In King James Bible with names split up in syllables and emphasis mark ( apostrophe ) I-sa'iah is pronounced
eye - ZAY - eyeyah or eye- ZAY- yeah
The ' sa ' has the emphasis.
I don't think Isaiah was from Kentucky. That's why I think we should ask a jew or a greek how to spell it correctly.
@@The-DO just following King James bible
Friend, the KJV was translated in the 600s, more than 1300 yrs after Isaiah. It was a GOOD translation, heavily based on William Tyndale's word. But the syllable breaks in there are BY NO MEANS a standard for pronouncing ancient Hebrew. I'm not saying they're all wrong, but they are not the fundamental standard. God bless you, friend.
The only fact we should look at is the fact that religious assertions are not facts
Yes! To reject the 6 literal days is problematic for Christians. How did death enter the world without the original sin of Adam and Eve?! Not to mention Jesus referenced Creation as well...
absolutely, people want to say that it's not a big deal but denying the 6 literal creation day brings doubt on the whole Bible. What I don't understand is people who say they believe God created the world and universe but have a problem thinking he could do it in 6 days (He chose to do it in 6 days if He wanted He could have done it in 6 seconds) They want the Bible to line up with science's understanding when it doesn't have to. They forget about the vs. that say "lean not unto thine own understanding" or "let God be true and every man a liar". If science says one thing and the Bible says another - there is no competition I go with what the Bible says.
Why would what they did cause death to enter the world unless God created the world SO THAT if someone sinned death would enter the world. It is a non sequitur that their sin caused death to enter the world....iow there's not reason other than God wished it to be that way.
Not a problem. Genesis is a metaphor. Nothing in it actually happened.
@davidgardner863 wishful thinking! Jesus said that God's word can't be broken and he gave credibility to all the Old Testament as truth (Luke 24:44). Besides that history, archeology and science are all in agreement with the Bible. So the question is am I going to trust what the King of the universe says or will I put my faith in what a God hater says who was born yesterday, deceived by other God haters of this age who have no idea what they are talking about?!
@@raulcaraba9664 , If you had any knowledge of science, you would know that it is in total disagreement with Genesis. The Old Testament was a way of teaching in those days through metaphor. Jesus used parables which were not actual events.
Any chance to get all those videos in English? God bless your ministry
Amen Ken, if a day is like 1000 years to us then I'm 65,000 years old., that's really old, I need to go and dig my grave now.
They say Day because they were simple, they hadn’t much vocabulary. They hadn’t any intellect
Merci
usually a question, of this type demonstrates unbelief......sadly....
What do you think God was trying to tell us? When you try to squeeze in theories of evolution etc. Into the text it honestly corrupts the plain meaning of what God said. Amazing. Wrong assumptions lead to wrong conclusions.
The assumption is that Genesis is the word of God.
Thanks for sticking with the facts😊 Todah rabah
He has no facts, he is full of lies, the Bible is a story book, that they lead you all your life with. You are all trapped, forever. It is evil, what they are doing to you. Run from religion!
It say in genesis in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth ..and the earth was void .before he created day 1
So you believe in millions of years. Your idea is not the first time this thought has been spoken. It's well known as the gap theory.
Well that is not what you find if you read verses 1-5 you see the whole of these 5 verses ends with the words that show you different than what you are saying. Now if you read further you find the sun was not created untill the 4th day. You don't need the sun and moon for there to be evening and morning. This we know from those who have been in the north pole that see 6 months of day and 6 months of night. But they still speak of evening and morning. Lots more can be said to help one see the truth found in the bible. Hope this helps..
Sorry, Charlie read Genesis car did not create create the Earth on day one he create it light. Read the Bible.
The two creation narratives in Genesis differ in their emphasis, style, and details.
1. Order of Creation:
• In the first narrative (Genesis 1), the creation unfolds in a structured, six-day process. God creates light, sky, land, plants, celestial bodies, sea creatures, animals, and finally, humans (male and female) on the sixth day.
• In the second narrative (Genesis 2), there’s a focus on the creation of humans. Man is formed from dust, and woman is created from the rib of the man. The order of creation is humans, then plants, and finally animals.
2. Theology and Names of God:
• The first narrative uses the term “Elohim” for God, emphasizing His power and transcendence.
• The second narrative predominantly uses the term “Yahweh” (often translated as LORD), highlighting a more personal and relational aspect of God.
3. Creation of Humans:
• In Genesis 1, both male and female are created simultaneously on the sixth day.
• In Genesis 2, Adam (man) is created first, and then Eve (woman) is created from Adam’s rib.
4. Purpose of Creation:
• Genesis 1 emphasizes God’s sovereignty over creation and humanity’s role in stewardship.
• Genesis 2 focuses on the intimate relationship between God and humanity, highlighting companionship.
These differences have led scholars to interpret these narratives in various ways, from seeing them as complementary perspectives to representing different traditions woven together in the biblical text.
He’s just moving goalposts. Modifying the answers to fit the question.
I watch these video and try to understand, but I still have so many questions. Please where did God place the Theia impact, and I see that scientists might have found Theia chunks down near the Earth's core.
Then Chicxulub impact - This took out the dinosaurs and is complete with fossil record, soot and Iridium layers. Please can someone help here? Surely God would not create a false record?
No need to wonder. It's a myth from the Bronze Age. It's not the only creation myth or the first creation myth that was around at that time.
Sir
1) Man has never seen nor been to the "Earth's Core"
2) You're asking fallible man with no understanding of God mind WHERE he put something that doesn't exist.
3) "Took out the Dinosaurs" What about all the other animals? It just happened to single out only the Dinosaurs?
Please think.
@@E_M_FEN Really - On what planet has man been to Earth's core. I really do wonder what passes for Science Ed these days. Back 50 years ago when I was in high school, we learnt in Geology how earthquakes sent seismic waves down through the Earth's core and geologists could, by picking up the differences in pickup locations, see a good picture of the Earth's interior structures. Sort of like WW2 sonar used to find submarines, but on the planetary scale. Today's pickup of these reflected and transmitted waves explains what these planetary metal rich bodies are like, and how they got there. Amazing how God works!
And then the dinosaurs - Most perished so many million years ago - I prefer to follow the teachings of Old Earth Creationists, who do include all of the discovered catastrophic events that God has used to shape our home. My issue with YEC crowd is that they look at one or two events in isolation, and not the full story as written in God's full geological and cosmological timeline.
Then, someone reminds me that when I eat chicken, I am eating a surviving disosaur species. Yes most dinosaurs did become extinct, however, there were a few of these mass dieoffs during the many millions of years they existed on Earth. Love to ask God one day why he put these creatures here, and why he had 3 goes at it. It can't be just so we could eat chicken. I get that God's understanding is way beyond ours.
@@user-vn8so9rf3dNo sonic or EM waves can travel through the earth's mantle without severe distortion and diffraction, so all our ideas about the compositional structure of the earth come from empirical observation and theoretical induction.
"Whenever I am eating a chicken I am eating a dinosaur..." That presumes that 'genetically similar to' must mean "descended from" base on Darwin's theory of special (SPEE-see-uhl) differentiation. If all species had a common living ancestor we should expect this. But if they did not, assuming such a correlation is conjecture, not an experimental conclusion. How we look at the fossil record, and radiometric dating, and all the restvof forensic archaeology and palentology, rests on the basic premises we have about how life progressed and developed on the earth.
There is a fundamental qualitative difference between providing verification and providing proof.
God is the Primary instigator and focus of each day in Genesis 1. Contextually each day and its length surrounds God’s presence and His work-even after the sun, moon, and stars are created on day 4 to govern the day-night cycle. Here I will make my case:
Yom, when first described in the text, is defined by the amount of time light is focused on the earth in relation to God’s work. We know this because light is (1) spoken into existence by God, and (2) it comes from God. It is only when God is done speaking the light into being and defining what a day is from the night that God stops working and night falls in the earth. Why? Because He is done working for the day.
So the question is, how long did it take God to say, “Let there be light?” Have light come into being, and then define day from night? Did it take 30 seconds, 2 minutes, 12 hours, 24 hours, a year, millions of years? The text does not say, and it doesn’t actually have to give a time period, because the scientific definition of hours is not the focal point of the text. God and what He has done is.
The text then says there was evening and there was morning, one day. But is the statement concerning “one day” about the amount of time God spent working, or is it including the night too? There is a clue.
Genesis 2:1-2:3 tells us that on day 7 God rested, yet did you ever notice that day 7 does not end? There is no evening, and that is because God did not leave His rest, and the light emanating from Him remained too. Thus, that day has never and will never end as long as God does not depart from His rest-a rest we are hoping to enter into I might add. So contextually, a day is defined as the amount of time God is present. And this could be any length of time.
And if one wants to throw out this text based definition, why does a full day really need to be 24 hours, if you add the night? Do you not have faith that God can do work in seconds, days, or over the course of thousands or millions of years, as He sees fit? It is sad that we destroy each other over unwritten numbers-especially when we have scientific examples on earth that show us that a day-night cycle can be longer than 24 hours.
In Alaska, for example, there are seasons where light does not stop shining for months, and then when the sun does set it doesn’t rise for months. Does this mean that one day is 6 or 12 months long, if you add the night? For practicality’s sake, we say “no” because we don’t want to cause problems with our calendar, and how do you deal with the clocks? But if it takes 6 months for the sun to set on a portion of the earth before there is evening, and then we add 6 months of night, then in relationship to the text-regardless of how yom is defined-was this not one day in Alaska? Genesis 1 would imply it is, if we want to get literal.
Do not get me wrong here. This is not to say that God did not or could not create anything or everything in a 12 or 24 hour period. Of course He could and He may have, in accordance with His Will. Indeed, to say that is not possible would be wrong too. It’s just like saying that God could not take longer or shorter times to do His work as He desired, and, honestly, once the sun, moon and stars were established as governors it only makes sense that God would then use them as He designed them to be used, and He may have worked within such arbitrary time frames.
Still, none of us were there, and this is where we need to respectfully accept that not everyone has faith enough to accept specific scientific number attached to the term yom in Genesis 1, thousands of years after it was written. It’s okay to learn and grow and come to understand what God is trying to teach us over time.
Finally, once again, we need to remember the context of each day primarily revolves around God and His work-not the sun, stars, and moon-and that actually makes sense. Why? Because in ancient times the sun and moon were worshipped as gods in Egypt and to have life and creation focused on them would have theologically defeated the purpose of the text. The unfaithful Israelites who wanted to return to Egypt while being led from slavery would have swooned with idol worship if the text was not carefully to place God and His light first. This is just another reason not to be blinded by time when it comes to this text.
In conclusion, God is supposed to be the center focus of every moment and day of our lives-not the events of the day or how long it takes for a day to transpire. The Law is a testimony to that truth, and so is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who prayed and made God the Father as the center focus of His life and ministry. Let’s not let science dictate what we believe-especially when scientific numbers can change and it is clear that Genesis 1-2:3 is not meant to be a science textbook.
You are living in lies, from someone's interpretation of lies. I will tell you a truth. And see if you can prove me a liar. We are in an evolution period, this is sun cycle 25, the poles are shifting and radiation is pouring down through us every day stronger and stronger, radiation poisoning, from the sun, that is changing the solar system we reside in. We were created for. At this time, the sun is in full control of everything. ❤
When? 5000 years after Yellow and Hindus valley civilizations?,😂
There's only one meaning of nonsense though
Great explanation Ken, from a Lutheran in Australia, amazing you still have the Australian accent. Love ya. I wish one day you’ll come to Australia so I can see you in person.
Yeah and stay there!
@@SPDLand Friggen troll.
Yom: Time period of unspecified length
Context determines meaning. Go back and read Genesis, there's no way you can determine the context as meaning anything other than an ordinary day. Lest we forget later on in Exodus 20:11 "For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."
We do not find justification for "eons" of time referring to the days of creation.
@@TheSaintFrenzyThat verse in Exodus is what made it clear to me (before I knew who Ken Ham was) because the reference would be nonsense if creation was anything other than six days.
Of course day is used most around words like evening and morning because humans wrote the Bible and we use day as a 24 hour time period. That evidence is a little biased
Of course God created the universe all therein in six days. Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
God did not rest for millions or billions of years on day seven or the sabbath day which He set as an example for man to rest one literal 24 hr day out of seven literal 24 hr days.
This makes sense if the sun wasnt added until the 4th day then there wasnt the same exact 24 hour earth rotation with day and night since there wasnt no differentiation between light n dark it was a concept of day as time that is a new figure of speech n concept we confuse with our current present day terms
This is so Awesome! Thank You, Lord for the truth!
I believe that when God speaks He speaks at mutual levels from mutual points of view.
My favorite theory on creation is that the universe was created in six days and 10000,000s years. If God’s point of view traveled with the event horizon of creation it would’ve taken him six days while on earth, it would’ve taken much longer
Why oh why do so many really sharp [schorally] men give biblical & scientific reasons for Noah's flood and the begining of God's creation, yet are hard core in their belief that God/Jesus are a God-man, or God or God the Son??? I just can't wrap my head around this unbiblical and fruitless thinking. Have they overlooked Jn 3:16? Do they just disregard it, was God lying? God the son is found nowhere in the Bible!
There is no evidence for the bible or the flood, those myths were borrowed from Mesopotamian mythology, no scientific evidence exists. Who are the supposed "scientist" that said this, and what did they quote?
Well, if God created birds and sea animals on day five, then land animals on day six (including humans) then where do Dinosaurs play into effect? Were humans co-existing with dinosaurs or how old are dinosaurs exactly? (If we go by this videos logic, God created everything in 6 days, meaning each day is 24hrs).
Look up Kent Hovind dinosaurs, he has some amazing talks on this and also how evolution is false
Very interesting stuff
God bless
Those have been carefully been placed in the ground so the people had something to dig up and wonder. If you listen carefully, you can still hear laughter coming down from the sky above.
@@tiarnancullen Oh, you mean Hovind the criminal and liar?
Well that's odd, because apparently (according to certain sources) the Devil put them there to supposedly deceive mankind. Oh! One other theory is when God called forth all the animals the dinosaurs got stuck in the rocks. Which is probably how Creationists explain fossils.
Dinosaurs are what we call them. Ancient people wouldn't have called them by that name. So sea animals, land animals, and flying animals includes dinosaurs if they existed.

The text does not imply 6, 24h days
Really? How so?
Yeah it does! Make grass and vegetation first, then make the animals and man to eat it, sounds about right. Smart God everything in proper order can't make animals and man if they don't have anything to eas like real soon..
Perspective: Sarah gives Hagar to Abraham. The origin of the story is that Lilith, Adam's wife, gives Eve to Adam, the Christ, when he begins his work of the salvation of the kingdom of Eve's Shining One (snake) David, the Morning Star. I’m inclined to believe that David (Yahweh) is saving those behind the gates of hell. Those who have lost hope.
Light and vegetation are created before the sun and moon because the story is about the new heaven and new earth. Yahweh is the light and Adam, the Christ, is the lamp. Your creation story is when, in the beginning, Adam found you in a wasteland, (Gen 1:2 NABO), empty, and void of understanding, your having become corrupted by sin, and he shielded you as the apple of his eye. (Deu 32:10 NABO)
Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. (Mat 25:34 NABO) The earth was barren, with no shrub of the field and, as yet, no man to till the soil. Adam tilled the soil and prepared the Garden of Eden, a promised land, a heavenly home, a new heaven and new earth, according to the plan of his Father, and then he settled east of Eden and has tilled and cultivated the earth ever since. I am with you always, until the end of the age. (Mat 28:20 NAB)
Genesis 1:1 is not part of the 6 days.
The 6 days are about Jehovah preparing the earth made in the beginning for life.
Actually evening is when the night begins and morning is when the night ends so it's more accurate to say that evening and morning is a night. Evening and morning could be symbolic. The angels could be in the 'dark' as to what Jehovah was creating until the completion of his work on that "day"!
Incidentally God's creative rest day may end after the son hands the kingdom back to his father at the end of his 1000 year reign. (Hebrew's 4:6"Therefore, since it remains for some to enter into it")(1Corinthians 15:24 "Next, the end, when he hands over the Kingdom to his God and Father")
I totally believe in the Bible and the creation account in it.
I have a problem with accepting that creation days where 24 hours.
I believe the there is one day of creation that is still running in modern times. Of the first 6 days there is the statement “and the evening and the morning are” then the day number but nowhere is this used for the seventh day. Day seven started after the creation of Eve. Day seven hasn’t ended yet.
I believe there will be an infinite number of periods of time called “days” when day seven ends day 8 will start, the days 9,10,11…
At this time day seven is coming close to it’s end. Day seven is already more than 6000 years.
I believe that the one thousand years of Gods Kingdom rule is about to start. So it looks to me like day seven will be 7000 years because it may be that it will end after the one thousand years Kingdom period.
Day seven is a sacred day.
During day seven, the important issue of who rules will be settled.
I believe The answer will be God rules.
At the end of day seven it could be said, “ the evening and the morning where the seventh day”. Then day 8 will start.
Literally: A thousand years is like a day and a day is like a thousand years to God.
Did you even listen to Ken?
This just means that God is timeless. If we were to take this to literally then it would mean the earth was created in 6000 years which won't come off much better to skeptics. Also the story was written to man so that man could understand it, therefore we can't just ignore the language because God doesn't experience time like we do.
Just me, but it's hard to accept that the moral intent of the Bible was to teach people science. How would you feel if the Bible opened with in the Beginning was a cloud of gases which superheated and drew down all matter into a tiny ball which exploded and spread throughout space for 13.8 billion years. If true, would such wording lead ancient men and the less intelligent to be more moral?
I don't know, but have no conflict with a God could create this universe in 6 God days and at the same time, that be 13.8 billion human days.
And I don't see the point of worrying over it. What difference to your soul.
There is an evil human reason I can see for fighting against science. If your desire is to control other humans by you having greater religious knowledge than them, then I can see where you wouldn't like science because it could interfere with your desire to rule over others in this world.
The Mesopotamians not the Bible gave us the week.
There was a literal 6 day creation in Genesis chapter 1 but this has to be considered with all the rest of scripture to understand what actually happened and age of the earth. We cannot ignore Jeremiah 4: 23-28 KJV that describes a pre man universal flood destruction of earth that left earth dead formless and void with the lights out in the universe. Also 2 Peter 3: 5-7 not describing Noah’s flood in which earth was still livable atmosphere with sunlight and an ark with people and animals that lived, but was an ancient universal flood destruction of earth and space the Jeremiah passage also described for which most of the church is still willingly ignorant of. Notice light and darkness separated day 1 and sun moon and stars not created till day 4. Notice seed already in the earth. Notice command to replenish. Isiah 45:18 God creates perfect, he does not create darkness. Isiah 14: 12-17 that Lucifer had a throne on the earth he wanted to ascend above height of the clouds, that is on this Earth pre adam. Satan already fallen before this 6 day creation because he was already evil in deceiving Eve. I could go on but space limited. In short earth is ancient, there was sin surrounding Lucifer fall, God was angry and destroyed the place but didn’t make a full end, and Genesis 1:2 picks up a restoration of earth and universe and marks it with a seventh day and puts man in charge where Lucifer use to rule. The Bible matches perfectly with science and archeology if we consider all it says and not an idea off one passage and ignoring the rest of what scripture says about it.
The bible is a myth book with themes borrowed from other religions that existed thousands of years before the bible
All a show.there has never been an actual anything
I believe that the "days" of Genesis 1 are not earth days, but they're days from God's perspective of time, from the beginning looking forward in time, God looks FORWARD whereas science looks BACKWARDS in time, which is how we know that the universe is 13.8 billion years old, if you notice, Genesis 1 keeps using the phrase "and God *SAW* that it was good", it is a consistent pattern throughout Genesis 1, which tells us that God is not only the creator in Genesis 1 but also the observer, in other words, Genesis 1 gives us God's perspective of His creation, including time itself, Psalm 90:4 states: "For a thousand years in your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night." This verse reflects on the eternal nature of God and shows that God's perspective of time is vastly different from our earthly perspective of time, all time, space, matter and all the laws of physics began at the Big Bang and God exists beyond the Big Bang singularity, that is where God's dimension or "heaven" is, and in God's dimension, time passes much slower, and so from God's vantage point, all the events take place much rapidly, God is able to see creation's entire history in just 6 "literal" days, this corresponds to the concept of Time Dilation, in Einstein's theory of relativity.

@8-bitpersona16 I thought we left you at comic book store!!
I'm an atheist, and I agreed with just about every point he made. "Sophisticated" Christians and Jews today keep trying to deny the plain meaning of the Bible, because they know that taking the Bible literally makes it look ridiculous. Taking the Bible literally makes it look like it was written by people who knew nothing about modern science, and educated people don't want to look stupid, so sophisticated Christians and Jews today say, "Oh, it was allegorical, it was never meant to be taken literally." Some even claim that it actu
Unfortunately scholars would disagree. There are cultural elements to understand, textual elements, linguistic elements. Its an ancient story written to an ancient people in an ancient way of communicating. Theses things have to be taken seriously.
Young earth and flood geology is not in the bible. It is a lack of wisdom about the ancient texts I.e. a lack of biblical scholarship and a neclect of making a right judgment of the earth and the universe which God demands from us...... 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities-his eternal power and divine nature-have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. Romans 1: 19-20......By faith we understand that the worlds were set in order at God's command, so that the visible has its origin in the invisible. Hebrews 11:3. Worlds can be translated also as the ages were put into order. God had long ages before Adam and Eve came on the scene and he put it into order little by little not by twinkling of the eye miracles as they say. That is nothing but chasing away potential believers who have some understanding and will never believe in a mature creation with an apparent age things that have never happened. But in a miraculous creation just 6000 yrears ago it would be so. And you are responsible to prevent them to come to Christ and get saved!
Those who refuse to accept the fact that God created this world for habitation in six literal days do so because they are in complete rebellion against Him and deny His ability to create with just the spoken word. They don't want to admit God is all powerful, and that they owe every second of their very life to Him. He sustains us and keeps our bodies breathing every moment until under normal circumstances so that we might turn to Him and live.
They also refuse to accept the fact that the rest of the universe existed BEFORE Adam & Eve were brought to life and walked this planet in Eden. God asked Job (in 38:5-8) where was he when He created the worlds, especially this one, when it was hung on nothingness & the morning stars [the angelic host] sang together, and all the sons of God [other Adam-like beings on other worlds] shouted for joy for all His marvelous works which He had done.
Literal days yes. But there was no sun for the first 3 1/2 days, so how could you tell how long a day was. God did not create the sun and the moon until the fourth day read the Bible there were no time pieces before then read my post up above and see it’s not Greek.
Why did your god take so long to do what my god could do in 25 minutes?
@@rizdekd3912 Each day of creation was specific. Just as Ken Ham said, God created things in the order He did for various reasons. One of which was for our understanding of Him to being a God of order and specificity. Certain aspects of geology and creatures required that other portions of creation to be in place. He could have just spoke everything into existence and POOF, it was all there, however, He wanted to show His providential loving, thoughtfulness in everything being established.
Our ecological system was spoken into existence just as all the creatures that flew, swam, and lived in the soil. When it came to mankind, He took great care to form every part of Adam (and Eve) with His hands, and breathed into their nostrils the breath of life; as a result, they became a living being/soul. Even though scripture doesn't define how Eve was brought into being, other than God using one of Adam's ribs, but for me, there's no doubt the process was similar to Adam's.
No actually we don't believe because there's absolutely no observable, testable, physical evidence to support the existence of any of the hundreds of gods. All (it, she or he) would have to do is show up and do something, but that won't happen, religion is mythology.
@@toneloke7489 That is your opinion.
The day will come that will prove you wrong in thinking there is no God. So... who is the "we" who does not believe? *IF* you do not believe in God, you have no hope of a future, since God is the only one who can provide it. *IF* there is a God who made mankind, then you are merely a collection of enzymes with no purpose for living.
Evolution cannot produce such complex lifeforms as animals and humans. That requires a benevolent Being.
If you saw a magnificent pocket watch or a sports car, you would know there was a designer who put in many hours to come up with their design and perfect function. The same can be said about all of nature IF one is willing to see the proof within them. All of nature, and the Cosmos, testifies of the Creator God. It is only those like yourself who refuse truth and acknowledge Him.
Spiritually speaking: the many gods teaching actually refers to fallen angelic beings, which many worship as supreme God, as many rulers did in time's past including pagans & heathens. They worshipped what they did not know, and so these beings took advantage of their ignorance and exploited them. The one and true God never did that. Then there's also another application for the phrase "gods." It was also referred to as: administrators, rulers, judges.
If Genesis is to be literally interpreted, as Ken Ham wrongly believes, then the most obvious question would be this:
If God did not create the sun and the stars until day four, as he wrongly believes, then where did God get the light to separate the night and the day in order to create the literal mornings for days 1, 2, and 3.
Ken Ham’s faulty reasoning, which is void of Commonsense, reveals what can happen when someone is incapable of being able to understand when to interpret scripture either literally or figuratively.
You’re not thinking biblically. God himself was the light. Connect to Revelation 21:23 “And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.” Instead of saying Ken Ham lacks common sense, perhaps you can study scripture more deeply, when you come across something like this where it does not make sense. It’s quite clear to me that Genesis can be taken literally, and historically it has always been taken literally.
No. The problem is that you’re not trying to reason it all the way through.
If God is omnipresent, as widely believed, and the Bible says that God is light with no darkness at all-then it would be thoroughly impossible for us to have darkness.
Furthermore, if the light in question is God himself, as you obviously believe, then that means that God had to separate himself from himself-which is stupid.
Day four is figuratively for the creation of angels and demons,
@@garycombs5721 You're funny, God is bound by nothing and you're using your minuscule intellect to try and reason what he can and cannot do.
@@spamm0145 No. it’s just that science best tells us how God did it while the Bible best tells us why.
When it comes to understanding how to interpret scripture, Commonsense is a must, which Ken Ham greatly lacks.
He’s truly DAF!
i believe God can do anything,in revelation 22 5 it shows God can give "light" that lighten an entire city WITHOUT moon and sun and candles,will you allow God with your omnipotent power to be able to create that too in genesis 1 😢?,He already create daylight and night in day one
The Bible only means whatever you want it to mean.
Total nonsense of course 😅
Ken Ham truely respect you and your work, I disagree.
You said it, in context. No one ever assumes that Eve got pregnant 3 times and had three sons in a 24 hour period. Yet it says she had 3 sons after she ate the fruit. None of your arguments do you any good here.
Now let us look at Genesis, I am using Young's Literal Translation.
Genesis 1:21
And God prepareth the great monsters, and every living creature that is creeping, which the waters have teemed with, after their kind, and every fowl with wing, after its kind, and God seeth that [it is] good.
**************
Now notice the literal meaning is "Great Monsters" in other versions it says Whales. I think they had been scoffed at by people saying there are no such thing as dragons and so they chose their words wisely
On day Next day he clearly makes mammals.
So he makes dinosaurs one day and 24 hours later he makes mammals?
Why are you assuming that the Dinosours and mamels were made fully adult?
11 And God saith, `Let the earth yield tender grass, herb sowing seed, fruit-tree (whose seed [is] in itself) making fruit after its kind, on the earth:' and it is so.
Have you ever seen a plant come up in less than 24 hours. Again it makes no sense in context to assume that it is 24 hours.
Same with the oceans have you ever seen fully developed full grown fish come up in one day.
In context it does not make sense that it is 24 hours.
