I recently saw this posted on Facebook:
The first bit of the response by the second person prompted me to note that it was a poor analogy and explain why by using examples of the appearance of history that I thought I'd share here.
This is what it comes down to when we look at the "auto" of the world around us. It has wear on the tires and spilled coffee on the floormats and a ding from an accident that happened 23 million years ago - and it has always had those things.
I'm asking AV not to reply to this thread or I'll have the mods close it. I'd rather have 0 replies than... well, what usually happens. TYIA.
first person said:And 'why would God create a universe that looks old'?second person said:Well why do car manufacturers pump out sedans in a matter of hours instead of building them over several years?
If the whole point is creating a place for beings made in His own likeness to prosper, then the point is to bust it out, not dillydally. But for some reason nobody's accusing car manufacturers of deception b/c it would take so long for cars to build themselves.

me responding to the second person said:Those two situations are not analagous. To make your response analagous, the auto manufacturer would make a new car with road wear on the tires, sun-faded paint, some spilled beverage stains and cigarette burn holes in the upholstry and bugs on the windshield.
