Taking Questions on Embedded Age Creation

[dlamberth]

I'm still wondering about all of those species of which 99% are now extinct. It they all were represented on the Ark, that would have been only 6000 years ago. T-Rex would have walked the earth recently. In my way of thinking, it makes God out to be less than honest to fake the time when T-Rex walked the Earth. But also the mass-extinction that would have immediately followed the opening of the gate to the Ark would have been beyond anything we can imagine. Why even put them into the Ark in the first place if mass-extinction was in the cards? None of this makes any sense to me.

Science creates mental blocks that its followers can't get around.

This thread is a prime example.

That post is 9 years old. And the poster hasn't been here in 5 years.

Lol thanks for the heads up, didn’t notice that.

That's all you have?

 

[BNR32FAN]

No, very true. But since the idea is an idea that has no basis in reality nor in the Bible itself, it can be dismissed out of hand easily.

Sure you can dismiss it if you want to.

That's it.

I can and will. As I said, embedded age has no scientific or Biblical basis to it, so it's incredibly easy to dismiss.

Didn't you mean "embedded history"?

Synonymous.

What do you mean by “embedded age”? The Bible gives the age of the earth but I’m not sure what you mean when you say “embedded age”.

It's the topic of the thread...

He doesn't know.

Embedded age means "maturity without history."

Can't have maturity without history.

 

[BNR32FAN]

Can't have maturity without history.

So what this all boils down to is people can’t believe the Bible, right?

 

[David Lamb]

Can't have maturity without history.

When God created Adam, He created an adult man, not a baby. Adam was mature, but he had no history.

 

[BNR32FAN]

When God created Adam, He created an adult man, not a baby. Adam was mature, but he had no history.

Amen, and he was married to the most beautiful woman in the world.

Not at all, since there is a difference between 'believing the Bible' and 'believing in serious extra-Biblical views that are not talked about in the Bible nor even mentioned in the Bible in any way shape or form'.
It's 100% the latter.

That is indeed the Genesis story, yes.

But the Genesis story also does not say "In the Beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth, and he did so in such a way that both have 14.5 billion years of age and history in them, even though they've only existed for 6000 years".

The latter is the sticking point.

Try and pay attention to what is actually be discussed.

Why, in 4004 BC, would the Bible say the earth has existed for 6000 years?

That would mean the earth was created in 10,004 BC.

... that is a very good point, but I really couldn't think of another example that wouldn't have just been a whole wall of text.
