Creation

I would like to discuss what the Bible says about creation in comparison to what Science says about creation.Since my arguments will be based on the Bible this will need to be placed in the Bible Study.I would like to discuss one point at the time starting with creation according to what the Bible has recorded in it.Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.This verse tells us that "In the beginning" is when the heaven and the earth was created.YEC's tell us that was 6 to 10 thousand years ago.Science tells us that was 13.4 to 20 billion years in the past. Some scientist have shortened the time to 8 billion years in the past.The Bible does not say when the beginning was, just that it was. There is no verse in the Bible that says when the beginning was.Therefore the universe could have began to exist at any point in past duration.Thus the Bible and science agrees that the universe began to exist and it is old.Once we have discussed what the bible says about the beginning to exist of the universe and the scientific view we can move on to how God might have accomplished that event.God Bless,

Hi Cat Genesis 1:1 Does not say the heaven and the earth were created at the same moment. It just says they were created in the beginning.So where is the problem?The earth we live on today had to have many growing events during it's duration in existence to get to the size it is now with all the buried materials to form the fossil fuels that are in the earth.God Bless,
