The earth is not young
quote:
what do you want to know? I think the scientific evidence does not support evolutionary models. So my best guess is ID. I think YECers do some interestign research, but I am not convinced that the earth is young. Of course, I am not convinced the age of the earth stays the same, nor that there is one static past. In fact, I strongly suspect this is not the case, and we need to view the universe as space-time which can lengthen and contract. I don't believe in only linear causation with respect to time, and think evolutionary models are outdated by modern physics.
.....the Bible tells you it is not.
quote:
Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
'In the beginning' - but does not say who's beginning.
'The earth was without form and void' - means he had not yet given it purpose.
'And darkness was upon the face of the deep' - he changed his mind about the way it looked originally and then 'the Spirit of God moved upon the waters' - looks like something is happening. Makes sense to me.
ID is a strange guess, but if it makes you happy, I think you should run with it.
I'm absolutely convinced that the age of the earth does not stay the same. ????? Getting older by the minute and I'm holding at 39.
I don't see why evolution is ever an issue. It makes perfect sense looking at an ever-changing scene. Origin, on the other hand, makes no sense without someone initiating and mobilizing.

Not sure I follow your points here.
That's quite alright. Few people look at the written word for what it actually says. More fun and more rewarding to give it that personal twist.
