I didn't say "as described in the Bible" did I. I asked a simple question about it being possible.
Is it even remotely possible that the universe is a lot younger than what is being propagated in the world today? Just possible, that is the question.
What is infallible? The Word of God? Or, men who tell you what seems right to your way of thinking? Evolutionists rely upon what feels good to their point of view and use data as their shield to present themselves as being intellectually superior to those who oppose their position. The Christian who accepts inaccurate teaching that appeals to his way of thinking, will put up for his shield a human form of dogmatism that he mistakenly accepts as being faith. Faith that the evolutionists is devoid of in regards to being able to see God's Word as legit data. Both, when this is done. Are dung at each other, seeing who can pile it higher than the other. Seeing who can find more fault with the others reasoning, but never being able to discover what is correct.
Since you apparently ignored the link I provided I will take the liberty to show you something you failed to explore and consider.
The concept that was derived from the Hebrew text (which was easily understood by Jewish scholars) was that a pre-adamic creation had graced the surface of this earth prior to the creation of Adam. They saw it. It was not even debated. Why was it not debated? Why debate what can easily be seen? It did not become a point of debate until it became a sword in the battle between Darwinism and Christianity.
But, a majority of Christians who were poor students of the Bible, clung to the traditional tale that was devised by men. Just like we are taught that the Three Wise Men were by Jesus side at the manger. Its not truth! But, we see it on TV every Christmas and on Christmas cards.
Lies became perpetuated by the traditions of men. And men of unquestioning human loyalty to that tradition refuse to reason with facts that tell them they better reconsider what they believe. God in His wisdom tossed Darwin into the ring as to get the Church off its lazy pew warmer and start to find out what the Scriptures have actually taught all along.
But, what do we still see? Only some of the believers have the integrity needed to question the traditional position and to seek answers that line up with Truth. That is why I said many Christians are being stupid. They do have to be. But, they choose to be. They choose not to be corrected because they are proud of their position like fans that root for the home team simply because its the place where they were born into.
Here is what was understood by Jewish scholars who did understand the nuances of the Hebrew. It was widely accepted without question for that reason!
Jewish commentators made the discovery, but their
early literature (the Midrash for example) reveals that
they had some intimation of an early pre-Adamic
catastrophe affecting the whole earth. Similarly, clear
evidence appears in the oldest extant Version of the
Hebrew Scriptures (the Targum of 0nkelos)and some
intimation may be seen in the "punctuation marks" of
the Massoretic text of Genesis chapter One.
Early Jewish writers subsequently built up some abstruse
arguments about God's dealings with Israel on the basis
of this belief and it would seem that Paul in his Epistle to
the Corinthians is at one point making indirect reference
to this traditional background.
A few of the early Church Fathers accepted this interpretation
and based some of their doctrines upon it. It is true that
both they and their Jewish antecedents used arguments
which to us seem at times to have no force whatever, but
this is not the issue. The truth is, as we shall see, that the
idea of a once ordered world having been brought to
ruin as a consequence of divine judgment just prior
to the creation of Adam, was apparently quite widespread.
It was not debated: it was merely held by some and not by others.
Those who held it referred to it and built up arguments upon it
without apparently feeling the need to apologize for believing as
they did, nor for explaining the grounds for their faith.
What is referred to the GAP theory was not something new that was simply invented to counter Darwinism! That is a lie that many Christians are told by blunt headed teachers! It was at the time of Darwinism something that was rediscovered by those who had the scholarly capacity. It was located and realized that God in His Word
had already been supplying the answer for why we find the fossils. God had supplied the answer long before secular science came in with its offensive!
Its because of non-thinking Christians who refused to learn something that they never were taught by their incompetent teachers to consider that we see evolution being taught today as matter of fact. Christianity in its mainstream form has only itself to blame for this loss.
My people perish because of a lack of knowledge!
