• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

On which day of creation week did this occur?
This occurred between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 -- thus the "gap".
And could you actually answer it this time instead of trying to derail the thread?
How about you learn what the Gap theory is, so you'll know that when others falsely accuse us of making stuff up, they're wrong.

Since you don't believe gap theory, don't you think it's made up as well?

Now, I'll ask you this...

You claim that... "Earth went through a period of being inhabited by a race of human-angel hybrids; and some families even consisted of hybrid children having human mothers and angel fathers.

Wars and disputes between super-powerful empires could have been on a cosmic scale, producing massive scarring on the earth's surface, that even the Flood didn't erase."


Do you have any Biblical evidence for this having taken place been between gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2?

The challenge is to explain the use of embedded age.

What is possible in a universe with embedded age that is not possible in a universe without embedded age?

And if there is embedded age, why was God in such a rush? I mean, if having a universe with the appearance of great age were advantageous, why didn't God just wait those few billions of years?
Embedded age has yet to be discussed in my geology class.

When I asked him about it, he gave me a look like this: :confused:

In the spirit of not letting a good point die, AV, I'd still like to know how God resolves a self-contradictory idea (and how you know he does such a thing) considering it's not an issue God needed to resolve but one you made up.
What issue did I 'make up'?

I have given something like three other sources for embedded age -- this is not my idea.
