Age of the earth.

[Aussie Pete]

Evolution requires an earth that is billions of years old. I recently saw a video of landslips and erosion that occur simply from wave action. That's before we get into earthquakes and volcanoes. Throw in tidal action, destructive storms, tsunamis and other extreme weather events, it's hard to imagine how the earth can be so old. Cliffs are collapsing into the sea in many places, including near where I live. I don't believe that the earth is 6,000 years old as I subscribe to the pre-Adamic theory. However, the earth in its present form is a result of Noah's flood, not billions of years of existence.

There's been continents long before the Flood.

Psalm 136:6
To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Psalm 136:6
To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.

What is your point?

 

[Akita Suggagaki]

The Earth is in constant change.

Psalm 136:6
To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Psalm was written after the flood.

Now. But do you have proof of what was happening then?

 

[Akita Suggagaki]

Now. But do you have proof of what was happening then?

Why would you presume otherwise?

Evolution of Earth

The evolution of this planet and its atmosphere gave rise to life, which shaped Earth's subsequent development. Our future lies in interpreting this geologic past and considering what changes--good and bad--may lie ahead

How Did Scientists Calculate the Age of Earth?

The examination and analysis of rocks on Earth’s surface, and of extraterrestrial rocks, have enabled scientists to determine the approximate age of the planet.

Why would you assume they are?

Why would you assume they are?

I don't assume. I reason and consider the reasoning of others..

Same here

Psalm was written after the flood.

The whole Bible was written after the flood. Does that mean everything happened after the flood?

So why bring it up?

 

[BeyondET]

So why bring it up?

You brought it up by quoting my post.

 

[dwb001]

You brought it up by quoting my post.

Are you listening to yourself?
Your post.... you brought it up.

 

[BeyondET]

Are you listening to yourself?
Your post.... you brought it up.

Can you write more than a one liner and be a little more descriptive about what you mean of psalm being written after the flood instead of being vague about it. You brought that up for what ever reason because of what I posted. Do you hear yourself?

 

[BeyondET]

Now. But do you have proof of what was happening then?

Do you have proof something was different from what's happening now.

 

[BeyondET]

What is your point?

The current state of earth isn't result of the flood. Certainly fresh olive leaves haven't changed. And continent's have always been moving about.

 

[dwb001]

Do you have proof something was different from what's happening now.

Do you have proof.it was the same.

 

[BeyondET]

Do you have proof.it was the same.

There's nothing that implying it wasn't. No need to second guess what can clearly be seen.

As well you have avoided my other question about psalm.

What other question?
And thus another failing of modern scientists exploring the past is revealed.
Why should conditions remain the same when everything is in Flux?
