creation myth

[Polycarp1]

Eccles. 3:11 declares,

"God has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end."

That includes dinosaurs and anything else you find in the bone/fossil record.

Who knows, maybe evolutionists will one day even find God. But you must look for Him not in the bone/fossil record of the things of time, but in the revelation of God's word to man. A good starting place is John 5:39-40 where Jesus declares,

"You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have eternal life."

Or who knows, maybe even Young Earth Creationists will come to know the Jesus of the Gospels, who was more interested in seeing men have right relationships with God and with their fellow man than in getting into petty disputes about the right interpretation of the words of Scripture (as He Himself explicitly said) -- and who had some strong comments on judging the salvation of others.

God's peace be with you, brother in Christ! May you come to see us as disputing trivialities while still acknowledging the same God and endeavoring to keep His commandments.

Many have. I would hope that you wouldn't suggest otherwise. Evolution is not equal to atheism.

What gave you the impression I am a "Young Earth Creationist?" I have read every book Hugh Ross has written, and agree wholeheartedly with most of his Old Earth Creationist views. Or did I misunderstand your comment?

my physics teacher was a jesus freak, and me and my friends always asked him these kind of questiions... he had a great answer ... "God put the bones there" And we couldnt respond to that...

It's usually YEC folks who assume that "I'm an evolutionist" implies "I don't believe in God, or Jesus as my salvation." And I inferred that assumption in your post -- perhaps erroneously.

My mom said that to me once.... question then becomes: Why? What purpose, other than deception, would God have for placing the bones there?

 

[Fr0st2k]

good question ... shoulda asked him that... (im atheist by the way)

 

[John 10:10]

God does not lie to us - either in His Word or in His creation.

If the YEC folk are correct, then God lied to us in some aspects of His creation story.

If the OEC folk are correct, although we can never fully understand it from the beginning to the end (Eccles 3:11), the better we come to understand God's creation story.

Lol see i often thought about that 2. But i don't believe the Bible mentions every single animal. I don't recall reading anything about God making Gnats, Scorpions, Dung Beetles, and a whole bunch of miscellaneous animals and insects.
