The Young Earth theory and pleistocine and ice age eras. (Moved from Creation & Evolution)

[Sammy-San]

From a young earth perspective, approximately when did those time periods really occur?

the flood ..
God says he created the earth in 7 days
the unbelieving type say that's impossible - which means god doesn't exist
but he does, so one of them is a liar and it 'aint God .

I dont believe the young earth theory but I believe in God.

It's not that people think it's impossible for God to do it that way, it's just that if He really did it that way, He went really, really, far out of His way to make it look like He didn't.

It's your theory (interpretation) that that part of the Bible should be read literally. Jesus hid the truth in parables, why not God?

Just after the Flood.

According to one theory, the earth was a tropical paradise due to a water canopy surrounding it that refracted the sun's light and kept it warm all over.

When the Flood occurred, the water canopy was broken up and came crashing down to earth as rain, and the sun's rays now hit the earth directly, bringing about polar climatology.

This brought about the eventual demise of most of the dinosaurs.

I would assume that if a person was traumatized like the earth was traumatized during the Flood and other catastrophes, he would look older as well.

Jesus hid the truth in parables, why not God?

As I understand it, the parables Jesus told were real events He witnessed.

 

[Moral Orel]

Even if a flood or catastrophe could cause the sort of things we use to date the age of the Earth, remember God caused the flood and at least some of the catastrophes you mention, so again I say, He went really, really far out of His way to make it look like He didn't make the Earth a little while ago.

As I understand it, the parables Jesus told were real events He witnessed.

Never heard that one before. Is that just a theory, or is there some scripture to back up the idea that they were all true stories Jesus was an eye witness to?

You mean like telling us in Genesis 1 what He did, how He did it, where He did it, what order He did it in, and how long it took Him to do it?

Is that just a theory,

Yup.

Then they went and died for refusing to believe what you believe.

If one cannot take God at his word in one place then he cannot take God at his word .

He went really, really far out of His way to make it look like He didn't make the Earth a little while ago.

Adam and Eve were adults.
Birds were created in numbers that filled the skies.
The waters were filled with fish when they were created.
Trees were created bearing fruit.
The earth, like everything else, was created in its mature state, immediately capable of supporting life.

You never seem to contribute anything other than denying God and committing blasphemy. I have decided that you have no purpose here to do anything but harass Christians, so it's time to add you to the ignore list. Goodbye.

Wich is true for all mutually exclusive religions.
The only thing that shows is that these people really really believed what they said they believed. It doesn't show that what they believed was / is correct.

All Steve did was share a fact.

What you read in that book is text that people wrote down.
And the idea that it was dictated / inspired by a god is no more or less then a claim wich is not in evidence.

Ignoring (literally) the people who share the facts, won't make the facts go away.

Cant answer you as it would be according to your folly .and we arent supposed to answer your type that way.

 

[AV1611VET]

Silly boys.......

We call them "martyrs," and the Bible refers to them as those "whom the world is not worthy."

 

[AV1611VET]

Well, for the record, I believe it too.

1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.

And I would say ascertaining its correctness would be a little beyond your paygrade.

 

[TagliatelliMonster]

Well, for the record, I believe it too.

Every follower of every religion, including all those that you disagree with, believes his religion is correct.

I didn't expect you to be an exception.
