I wouldn't place my faith in it, science will continue to improve and we will learn more than we had ever before about this world. All of these millions of years will change, all these theories will disappear, all these conclusions will be reconsidered. It may be that in the next few generations we will find out that we were wrong about the facts of the geological formations, layers, and so on, on this planet we call Earth.

Your just blowing smoke because, you don't have a reasonable argument against anything I have said, to rebut Geology, and by saying Science, you automatically clump everything together and then just discredit it out of hand.

Do you remember the time they found soft-tissue in a 195-million year old bone of a Lufengosaurus? This could have revolutionized the way we understand dinosaurs, but instead the scientific community suggested that there was enough protein to preserve the tissue for these two hundred million years, closing the door to the idea of changing the timeline.

More smoke, bringing in all sorts of unrelated information about unrelated scientific studies does not help you at all, your just muddying the waters, where there was a reasonable discussion, until all of the Scientific things like what you have just introduced were brought into the conversation, it does nothing to bolster your 6,000 - 7,000 year belief, it's just using science as the scapegoat for all of your inability to explain more than a literal understanding of what was written.

All I am saying is that science will continue to change, and we will see more of it align with Scripture. The literal reading of Genesis cannot be ignored by any Christian. We must allow the text to speak for itself where it is plain as night and day.

Interpretation is an issue when it comes to difficult places in Scripture, but these things are too plain to reinterpret to mean something else. God clearly said that Adam lived 930 years, not an additional 930 after the Garden. You can't make the text say what you want it to say.

So in 3 days of the Sha-Mayim (two waters/Heavens) revolving around the Earth in 3 evenings and mornings -day time and night time, we get to the earth brought out of the waters -literally formed from the elements of the Primal waters, and the waters gathered together into one place, called seas.

Then, before Day 3 of evenings and morning ended, The Creator/"God the Word", Called the earth to bring forth grasses, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees yielding fruits after their own kinds whose seeds were in themselves...and God saw that it was good. So the 3rd day ended.
Day 4, next.
Attention, please:
Earth was created as a globe (tebal/world) of waters (mayim), suspended in the "Firmament of His Powers" (heaven, not named yet), and all was dark. There was no light.
There was a globe of waters filled with -literally "pregnant with" the atomically charged elements from which every thing in, under, and on earth were formed out of, in six days.

THAT is BIBLE TRUTH.
Science is not an entity, but fallen men make up great myths that keep on changing, so as to explain a myth of creation that contradicts Genesis 1 -and every other Book of Scripture besides.

Genesis 1: creation of heavens not stretched out from the primal globe of waters and the Holy Spirit hovering over the waters like a hen over her eggs.
Day 1: darkness. Light brought forth out of the Darkness, and Light named Day and Darkness named Night. The heavens were revolving around the globe, making an evening and a morning, and collectively, together, making one (echad, in Hebrew) "Day".
So a revolution of the heavens around the earth from the East (First) starting point, and back again =one "DAY" and the "First Day, of the first week of seven days.

Day 2: the waters of creation were cut in two, and the firmament of His Powers were stretched out from globe, between the cut in two/divided in two waters of earth -with the Light of day 1 stretching out from the globe in the same firmanent of His powers, and half the waters of creation were raised above the stretched out Firmament of His Powers and half the waters remained below, as the "globe" (Hebrew word Tebal/World =globe), which was not yet named "earth".

God named the stretched out firmament "two waters/Sha Mayim, translated "heavens". Half the waters of creation are still above the stretched out heavens, to this day.
Day 3: The "Dry" was commanded to come forth from the waters, and the waters were commanded to be gathered together in one place. God called the "Dry" "Eretz/earth", and the waters He called "Seas".
So now we have the dry "earth" -not mud, and the seas. we're only on day 3, and not finished with it yet, but I have to get some rest.
Read it yourself, but lets discuss the marvelous wonders of creation week continuing on, next time as The WORD states it to be.

There is another problem is that all of Adam's children were born after the fall, including Seth, who was born when Adam was 130. If they lived in the garden for thousands of years, did they not fulfill the command to be fruitful and multiply as God said they should in Genesis 1:28?

So your contention is, Adam and Eve were both Created on the 6th day, and they were expelled from the Garden before God Rested on the 7th..... Right?

That was a pretty hectic day for them wasn't it?

God Did Not Command for them to be fruitful and multiply, unless you take everything God says as a Command from God.


Gen. 1:28
And God blessed them, and God (said) unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

I guess God knew they would be leaving the Garden very soon then didn't He?

It really wouldn't matter how long they were in the Garden, it was one long day for them because, time didn't exist in the Garden.

Besides, if they had been fruitful and multiplied, the kids would have wanted to build a tree house in the Tree of the Knowledge and the Tree of Life.

Actually, if Seth was born 130 years after creation, then Adam was likely in the garden for less than that. It doesn't have to be the seventh day, it could have been when he was 20 or 100, but it cannot be anymore than 130.

No, No, No, you can't have it that way.

Adam and Eve were both created on the 6th. day and God rested on the 7th. that only gave Eve a couple of hrs. tops to have a conversation, pick the fruit, and give some to Adam. then they had to make some fig aprons then pack for the journey out of the Garden, I did mention it being a hectic day.

You need to look at the Word itself, before making up or agreeing with, and propagating myths which are without the Word of Wisdom.
Paradise is in Eden, Eden is in the third heaven which was one of the layers of the Firmament of His Powers which was stretched out from the earth between the cut in two waters on day 2 of creation week.
Paradise is in the third heaven, and the Tree of Life is still in it, and Adam was taken there from earth below, but travel was free, back and forth. Adam and Eve had no children before they were cast down from there to earth below and the entry gate was guarded from them going back in....Nimrod tried to go in another way, but since the destruction of the Tower, we earthlings can’t even see into that realm, unless God opens our eyes, as is recorded in the Word in several places....We are seen, but we are as blind to that realm now, as the men of Sodom were to Lot’s house door.
2 Cor 12: 1-4
12 It is [a]doubtless not profitable for me to boast. I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: 2 I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago—whether in the body I do not know, or whether out of the body I do not know, God knows—such a one was caught up to the third heaven. 3 And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— 4 how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.

An interesting idea regarding evolution/Christian debate.

Christians generally take the side that the earth is around 6,000 years old.

However, using a comparative interpretation of Adam's age, we can assume the earth is not 6,000 years old. But perhaps the age of time is 6,000 years.

We can assume Adam wasn't created as a fetus or infant (no womb for him to grow). Then most likely he was created in his 20's or 30's. Regardless, the central point is he wasn't created at age 1.

We can apply this same question to the earth. Were the rocks, trees, water, sun, etc., created at age 1? 10? 1000? 1 million?

Those are interesting thoughts. Thank you for sharing them. :)

According to the Jews, the counting of time on earth began the moment when Adam received his immortal soul from God. So all the events which happened on earth before that one moment in time are irrelevant to the history of God's people.

From a post I made in 2015.
Actually, Genesis 1 totally disproves all OEC arguments and most YEC theology.
Taking the Word of God as it actually is written:
There were no heavens "out there" on day one. There was no earth/dry land here, on day 1.
There was only one vast globe of water and the powers of them, and the powers of the "light" brought to "be" on day 1.
The light brought into being on day 1 is the powers of the "electric" creation/ universe.

There were no heavens stretched out and nothing "out there" until day 2, when the "firmament of His power" was stretched out "between the divided in two waters" of this created globe. Half the waters are above the stretched out firmament, and half below, still.
He named the powers "two waters"/sha-mayim, translated "heavens".

The sun is not a star, in the Word of God, and is, in the Word of God, the "Menorrah/candelabra" of the universe, made on day 4 of creation week to be the light governor, which gathers the light and refracts it back out to the entire heavens.

Enoch the prophet, the seventh from Adam, visited the temple of God in heaven, and it was built of cut [diamond] crystals and pillars of fire. plasma is a product of the light refracted to the cut crystal sun, and the pillars of fire are tremendous, reaching out to great distances from the "core"/the temple/the sun. Enoch wrote that the sun and moon are the same size, so the pillars of fire do extend to great distances out from the core of the Temple of God, as plasma, from the light conducted from the stars.
The stars are not vast furnaces of fire, but do conduct the light brought into being on day 1, to the sun. The universe is not so great of a distance as "science" guesses, but is not measurable with the measures of man from earth, and the powers of the firmament are taken by them to be "distance", when in fact, it is "powers".

Stars are also living beings, called angels. All angels are not stars, but all stars are angels. The planets are wandering stars, with no light of their own to conduct, and the earth is not a planet, does not wander, and is fixed in place -but will jump about as a hunted roe in the tribulation, and turn upside down, and the seasons will be backwards then, and earthquakes and winds and pillars of fire [volcano eruptions] caused by the turning upside down of the earth will make men's hearts melt for the fear of the things coming....much more is in the word of God about that time. Stars will fall to the earth from whence the heavens were stretched out from, in that time.
When the heavens are rolled up as a scroll and the new creation is brought into being, it will be the same created elements regenerated as it was in the beginning, but all made new; and it will happen in the blink of an eye, just like our change will, either at the rapture of our bodies from the grave or the rapture of our alive and remaining bodies at His call to be gathered together with Him.

The "circle of the earth" which God sits upon -in His created throne in His created heavens- is the "revolving heavens", which God set to revolving around the earth when He said; "Let there be light", and the light was brought into being "right here", separated from the dark, as part of the created globe of water out of which elements of, He brought into being every created thing in heaven and in earth; and the heavens revolved around the globe from the beginning, and the night and day were made to equal "one Day".

Study with eyes to see what it says, but discard tradition and take it as Truth, not allegory, and you will be amazed at the deception veiling the eyes of fallen man!
God stretched out the heavens

Stars are also living beings, called angels. All angels are not stars, but all stars are angels.

So the fusion of hydrogen and helium is a living being called an angel?

The planets are wandering stars,

Planets aren't stars and they don't wander.

You should go do research on The Written Word of God/Bible, stars, and planets, before making statements that show you have not done any research -i.e. learning by study, on the subject.
"Wandering stars, suffering the blackness of darkness forever" was applied -in wisdom- by Jude -womb brother of Yeshua.Messiah/Jesus.
Jude knew that about the fallen watcher angels/stars, because he was familiar with and quoting from, the Book of Enoch.
Planets are "wandering stars", in the Greek, and have no light of their own.
The stars are called angels in the Word of God, and they are all named by the Creator/God the Word, and they all have their own duties, in the Word of God, and are set over the earth, and control the bringing in of the seasons...and keep the calendars of heaven, of which there are at least three "cycles" working in the heavens within the 364 days of the perfect calendar year which God has ordained forever, over earth.... and all the three other cycles are brought in by the positions of the stars, in relation to one another. The 364 day year ordained by the sun's circuit around earth in relation to it's beginning of it's circuit in the the revolving heavens is completely explained in the Book of Enoch, the 7th from Adam, which book is canon in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, cause the Ethiopian Jews never threw it out when they came into Christ -in the 1st century, AD .

There are 700 year weeks;
50 year weeks and 49 of them make a complete "Jubilee" year;
Millennial days, with seven of them making a Millennial week;...
There may be more, that I have forgotten, but you can research those things.
Please do.




So the fusion of hydrogen and helium is a living being called an angel?...
Planets aren't stars and they don't wander.

I presume you know what i have and haven't studied? Please, do tell me more about this....

Well, "Enoch" was just wrong in his theories about celestial bodies and the calendar. I think it's more likely that "Enoch" had an theologically idealized calendar and explained away it's obvious discrepancies with his theory about celestial objects. I mean, the fact that the earth doesn't complete one orbit around the sun in exactly 364 days must be due to the fact that the stars and planets are rebel angels, otherwise it would have been a perfectly symmetrical 364 day year as it was in the beginning (that's the book's actual reasoning too). The book's premise about a symmetrical calendar is simply mistaken and is then combined with a mistaken theory about celestial bodies.

I do note your consistency though in reading the book of Enoch. Most people will not commit to the book's actual cosmology and calendar.

Planets are "wandering stars", in the Greek, and have no light of their own.

Planets are rock or gas bodies orbiting a nearby star. We've even sent probes to all of the ones in our solar system.

which book is canon in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church,

This isn't an argument. The fact that the Ethiopian Orthodox does something doesn't mean that therefore, everyone else should be doing this too.

Btw, do you accept all of the extra-canonical books in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church or just this one? And are you Ethiopian Orthodox and do you follow Ethiopian orthopraxy? Or do you just select this one book and use the Ethiopian Church as a crutch for your use of it?

1. I can tell you are not familiar with the doctrines/teaching of the Word of God on stars. for if you were, you would know that stars are angels....
2. If you were a student of the doctrines of the Word of God on the course of the sun, and the rising of it in the east and setting of it in the west, then you would not propagate the myth of the earth circling the sun. The Word does not teach that earth orbits the sun, but that the heavens circle the earth and the sun, moon and stars have their own courses/paths set for them in the heavens as the heavens circle the earth -from the beginning of creation of them, in the order Genesis 1 states.
God's year is exactly 364 days, forever, and the 4 Sabbath days in the heavens are totally explained by Enoch, and their parts are not counted in the yearly calendar, but their number (4) is added to the counted 360 days forever, at the end of each calendar year. Therefore, there are exactly 52 weeks in Gods year, and 360 counted days in those weeks, with 4 Sabbaths in the heavens ( the heads of the 4 seasons) not counted in the days of the week, but as to their number, added to the calendar at the end of the year.
The religious year, as to God's feasts, begin at spring equinox, and the years are counted from creation at fall equinox.
There are exactly 360 days counted, with their parts, and the 4 sabbath days added as to their numbers to the calendar at the end of the year, but their parts are not counted, nor added.
Therefore, in God's revealed calendar, the weeks are equal year to year, and the anniversary of every event always happens on the same day of the week as the first time it happened.
Therefore the years are the same, equinox to equinox, forever.

Planet means "wandering", in the Greek. They were called "wandering stars", which had no light of their own, therefore Jude called the wicked "wandering stars, suffering the blackness of darkness forever", which he understood by reading the book of Enoch, which the early Church has many witnesses of it's being believed to be sacred Scripture.

The days God created begin at sunset, and end at the next/following sunset. They are not measured in hours, by God, but in "parts", as Enoch explained, and are counted such from the beginning of creation week.

1. I can tell you are not familiar with the doctrines/teaching of the Word of God on stars. for if you were, you would know that stars are angels....

No, they are the fusion of hydrogen and helium and aren't sentient.

2.

The Word does not teach that earth orbits the sun, but that the heavens circle the earth and the sun, moon and stars have their own courses/paths set for them in the heavens as the heavens circle the earth -from the beginning of creation of them, in the order Genesis 1 states.

No, the earth orbits the sun (technically, the barycenter if you want to get more precise.).

God's year is exactly 364 days,

Well, an earth year is 365.2422 days. So if God's calendar, which includes agricultural festivals, is exactly 364 days, then his calendar gets out of sync with the actual motion of the earth around the sun. So, God's agricultural feasts wouldn't make a lot of sense if they're in the dead of winter.

Or it could be that you're just wrong about the 364 day thing... Is it God doing things that are observably incorrect? Or is it really just you and "Enoch?"

Planet means "wandering", in the Greek. They were called "wandering stars", which had no light of their own, therefore Jude called the wicked "wandering stars, suffering the blackness of darkness forever", which he understood by reading the book of Enoch, which the early Church has many witnesses of it's being believed to be sacred Scripture.

Some of the planets are rocks and not "stars" in any sense of the word. We've even sent probes to them.

And planets don't actually wander. They appear to wander at times from the perspective of an observer on the surface of the earth (known as apparent retrograde motion). In reality, they and earth just follow along in our orbits as described by Newton and Kepler. These periods of "wandering" are quite easily predicted using the Kepler and Newton's equations.

The days God created begin at sunset, and end at the next/following sunset. They are not measured in hours, by God, but in "parts", as Enoch explained, and are counted such from the beginning of creation week.

The Book of Enoch is just mistaken. It's author was simply wrong about the calendar, the motion of celestial objects, and the sentience of celestial objects. I'm sure he did his honest best to explain why the solar and lunar calendars of his day were inadequate and had to be intercalated. He just didn't have the required information to get the right explanation.

The movie, The Genesis Code, attempts to reconcile the Book of Genesis with the practicality of Scientific research and explains evolution from the reference points of both God and man.

Science attempts to confirm the Bible events of Genesis using the world-wide flood to prove a young earth.

The creation is "electric", from the beginning of creation. In the Word of God, stars are angels, but not all angels are stars. look it up in a concordance.
The sun is "Electric", and is not a star. Stars send out the electromagnetic radio waves to the sun. The sun is called a candelabra in the Word of God, and it receives the light in the waves from the stars and refracts them back out to the entire heavens.
Plasma is produced by that and the currents rise to great heights from the core of the sun and enfold back.

I'm just a student of the Word of God, and love the "science" men study who are truth seekers about the universe, and even though they may not be Bible believers, their work supports what God's Word states about the creation.
A universe can be "scaled" in a test tube, complete with galaxies. It has been done.

Scott, Ph.D.The formation of stars and galaxies has long been assumed by electrical theorists to result from pinch ef-fects in cosmic electric (Birkeland) currents. The exact details of these pinches and the mechanisms involved have remained obscure even though various laboratory experiments have been done in the past. These details are now clarified by relating the mechanisms of Marklund convection and the double plasma focus experiments of W. Bostick. The observed ubiquitous ‘hour-glass’ shapes of planetary nebulae are shown to be fundamental to this process. The major difference between the formation of stars and of galaxies is simply a matter of scale –the processes are essentially identical."

In The Word of God, the sun revolves around the earth in it's own peculiar course, in the circling heavens, as all the stars and planets do. God's created temple in the heavens is set in the same sun. Check out the WOrd of God in the original Hebrew language and in the Greek Septuagint, the Latin Vulgate, and English Douay Rheims Bible translation.

In the Word of God, the earth is not a planet and does not move, rotate, spin, or totter, but is fixed in place, and is the center of the creation. In Genesis 1, God's word states that the heavens and the earth were made and not named until they were formed, in the order given in Genesis 1 creation week.
The heavens were not stretched out from this same globe of primal waters until day 2, and the waters were cut in two and half of them raised above the stretched out heavens. Half remained below the stretched out heavens.

The stretched out heavens have several "stories", and at least there are 3 of them, in the Word, for Paul states that Paradise in Eden is in the third heaven. Check out the Word on these things.
The stretched out firmament of His powers was named "two waters", by the Creator, which is Hebrew "Sha Mayim", translated to "heavens".

God's years are counted from equinox to equinox, and not in hours, but in "parts". There are 18 parts in God's calendar day, not 24 hours, and His calendar day begins at sunset and goes to the next sunset. His calendar day is not counted in hours, and does not begin at midnight.
The Heads of the 4 seasons are "sabbath days" in the heavens, and are not counted with their parts in the equinox to equinox counting, but the 4 days of the heads of the seasons' number is added to the 360 counted days at the end of the year, but their "parts" -similar to our "hours", are not counted. Therefore, His years are 360 calendar days, and 52 weeks. They go from equinox to equinox, and the seasons are NEVER off!


No, they are the fusion of hydrogen and helium and aren't sentient.

No, the earth orbits the sun (technically, the barycenter if you want to get more precise.).
Well, an earth year is 365.2422 days. So if God's calendar, which includes agricultural festivals, is exactly 364 days, then his calendar gets out of sync with the actual motion of the earth around the sun. So, God's agricultural feasts wouldn't make a lot of sense if they're in the dead of winter.

In The Word of God, the sun revolves around the earth in it's own peculiar course,

There's nothing peculiar about the the sun's motion across the sky. It's regular and easily predictable as described by Copernicus,Newton and Kepler.

in the circling heavens, as all the stars and planets do.

The others aren't peculiar either for the same reason.

Therefore, His years are 360 calendar days, and 52 weeks. They go from equinox to equinox, and the seasons are NEVER off!

If his year is either 360 or 364 days, ,then yes, the seasons will eventually be off their "appointed" days and God's agricultural festivals won't match the seasons. This is because earth's orbit around the sun takes 365.24219 days, not 364 or 360. It's actually worse for your view, because a 364 day/year calendar will shift days about 1.24219 days per year. A full day will be shifted out of sync every year. So the seasons will become noticeably out of sync with "God's" agricultural feasts within your observable lifetime. Within your lifetime, you would be celebrating fall harvest in the dead of winter or during the spring (not much is harvested in those times, btw).

So either God doesn't know about the actual 365.24219 day year, or you're simply wrong.
