[QUOTE="fragmentsofdreams, post: 402253, member: 2245"] The problem is that God would have to create a world designed to fool people into believing that it was billions of years old. Why would He do that? At what point does it become a problem with your interpretation and not with science? 1. God never stops creating. The moment God stops creating, we cease to exist. We are utterly dependent on God for our very existence. 2. God chose a method of Creation that allows the Universe in general and humanity in particular to participate in Creation. It is the Universe that needs the time. The billions of years do not represent repeated failures but the gradual formation of humanity from chaos. I don't divorce passages in the Bible from their context. When Jesus tells a parable about a vineyard, I don't believe that He has an actual vineyard in mind. Instead, He is using imagery to convey a message about the Kingdom of God. In the same way, I don't interpret Genesis literally, because it is intended to tell us about God's relationship with Creation and humanity, not historical or scientific facts. [/QUOTE]
