What you are describing bears a resemblance to Exemplar Creation, described in the link below; Exemplar Creation: A Stunning New Interpretation of Genesis While I don’t necessarily ascribe to this model, it is none the less intriguing and thought provoking!

http://www.biblicalchronologist.org/products/archives/BC52.PDF I encourage all of you guys to read this newsletter put out by Dr. Gerald Aardsma. He makes the observation that death, animal or human, prior to the fall is inconsistent with Biblical creation, but at the same time that there is...

A Critique of ICR's Grand Canyon Dating Project Here is an article that answers the research performed by Dr. Steve Austin. Basically, all he managed to do is confirm that the source Cenozoic lava flows, i.e. the mantle beneath the Grand Canyon, is older than the Cardenas Basalt Precambrian...

I would love to see the original article if you have it available.

Again, looking for the intersection between scripture and science is far more profitable than pitting the two against one another.

I am not even saying radiometric dating techniques are 100% accurate all of the time, and I doubt even the most staunchly old earth geologists would say that. However, if you look at the ages of igneous rock layers relative to one another, it is clear that those layers lowest consistently yield...

Here is a link to part 1 of the videos I mentioned. Hope it clears things up a little more!

I am sympathetic to this perspective, I held it for many years prior to my current views taking shape. However, one thing you must understand is that the dating methods used to obtain long ages have a lot more scientific rationale behind them than young earth creationist organizations would lead...

Thank you for the feedback! I would more side with the idea that God does experience time, just a different scale than we do. Think about it like this; the moment God decided to create the universe, that decision had to be made in time, as it followed a progression of events (1. the decision was...

I agree we are made of atoms, and those atoms are clearly made of energy (or “light” so to speak). However, that is speaking of our physical existence in this universe. It speaks nothing to our metaphysical being/experience, of which how we perceive the passage of time is a part. While scripture...

Thank you for the reply! I am not necessarily talking about gravitational time dilation, but velocity time dilation, in that the supreme being in scripture is a being of light and humanity originally existed with Him in a different state than we currently are in.

So I am brand new to the forum and I specifically joined so I could test this idea I have been developing for the past year. If I am way off base or if what I am saying sounds ridiculous, please let me know, but I think I may have an answer to why the time scales observable science and the bible...
