Is YEC science? Is is even really a theory?

Seems unusual that you would start so many threads to take questions,
Yet your word choices demonstrate you still don't know what embedded age is.

God is deceptive? Where did that concept come from? God creating Adam as a man instead of a baby was deceptive?
So what is the point of creating everything so that it looks just like theory of evolution, geology and other sciences predict it would with old earth and evolution premises ?

Previous answer I got for this was that God did not want us to know the truth. This being the case I asked how we could believe anything in the Bible then ?

I do not think the poster ever returned to that point. Funny that. I expect better from AV.

Let’s start here: what would be the point of God to create Adam as a man instead of a baby? The point being there are functional reasons not deceptive reasons

It doesn't work as an analogy because the evidence for the age of the universe is one of millions of years of events, not just a some hypothetical "maturity".

A more accurate analogy is if Adam was created with false memories of his mother raising and teaching him how to talk and live.

What was the point of creating Adam as a man instead of baby ? Not like omnipotent being could not figure how to give Adam a childhood experience ? Might have helped with not believing snakes and stuff actually....

Also what was the point of creating trillion galaxies ? Functional reason ?

Adam doesn’t become a man without physical events of evidence

So he could tend the Garden, get married, and have children.

A job, get married, have children.

The proper order.

Unlike today.
Not like omnipotent being could not figure how to give Adam a childhood experience?
Why?
Might have helped with not believing snakes and stuff actually....
I doubt it.

Stars are homes to the angels. They live on them.

I'm not the one who needs to learn some geology
or have a false statement corrected.

You said 'all", not "most" and one date,
3OO MYA, not over a 60 million year
period of time ending 300 Mya.
So wrong on both counts.

And it's still irrelevant.

Don't suppose you now know why
" science proves" is nonsense?

Keep in mind that claiming clear falsehood
as fact and refusing to learn the error does
little for ones credibility in other
questionable claims.

Really? Like a scar from when he fell down as a toddler? Or the memory of when he first met Rve at school?


The sky is full of evidence for things that avoiding to the YEC model never actually existed.

That's deceptive.

Uh proper order is being raised as child first. To learn, overcome adversity, getting to grips with your feelings. All that jazz.

What the creation story and the fall basically describes is man child without clue or experience with a companion that is equally clueless and of course woman on top of that being stuck next to a forbidden treat while being told lies to eat it by a talking snake. Gee, who could have seen how that would work out.

Adam was an exception.
To learn, overcome adversity, getting to grips with your feelings. All that jazz.
Adam was created without having to go through "all that jazz."

I call it: "maturity without history."

No one sat him down and taught him how to walk & talk.

He came into existence ready to start a job, get married, and have children.
What the creation story and the fall basically describes is man child without clue or experience with a companion that is equally clueless ...
Then why did God hold them accountable?
... and of course woman on top of that being stuck next to a forbidden treat while being told lies to eat it by a talking snake.
Your point?
Gee, who could have seen how that would work out.
Your attempts to make Adam & Eve out as ignorant victims of a cruel creator aren't working.

Stars are homes to the angels. They live on them.

And they need literally trillions of stars to live with commute distance of seven trillion light years ?

Now that is when you need to work from home. Angelnet must be pretty awesome.

Then why did God hold them accountable?

You mean why did omnipotent being that knows everything, who created these two with their character flaws and apparently lack of common sense, stuck a mysterious object next to them and let an outsider tell them lies about it hold them accountable for their obvious actions.

I do not know. Almost like it was part of a plan ?

If you take it literally that is.
