Do you believe the Prodigal Son was a real person?
Some creationists make the claim that God created the Earth with maturity or embedded age during the initial creation of the Earth which is why rocks appear to be millions to billions of years old when measured with radiometric dating. The problem is that this requires God to put fake fossils in the ground.
1. When a T. rex or other large animal dies, it doesn't dig through hundreds of feet of solid basalt rock and make a fossil.
2. Therefore, any lava flows found above a fossil had to occur AFTER the organism died.
3. Lava flows found above fossils date to millions of years old which creationists claim were created during the initial creation of the Earth.
4. Therefore, if embedded age or mature Earth is correct, God had to plant fake fossils under those rocks during the initial creation of the Earth.

If god planted fake lava, why is planting fake fossils a problem?
Should I assume you know what it is?So is embedded age.

It was a rhetorical question to highlight your false dichotomy of literal or false. The Bible doesn't have to tell a literal history in order to relate truth to the reader.
Thanks for the QED, but I was addressing Po.It is whatever you want it to be at any given moment. At one moment, rocks date old because God embedded age into them. The next moment you act like you never said any such thing.
It seems that the Bible says very different things from moment to moment, according to you.
Even taking Genesis 1 as allegory presents serious problems: such as the order of the creation events.Some things in the bible are obvious parables. Others are historical. It doesn't take much to realize which one are parables.

I have a feeling that's about the only way I could.Feel free.

For the record, I believe the parables were real events as well.I am afraid it does - to realise the difference if actually have to use the reasoning that God gifted us with.
Who said anything about not believing God's word?Are there any other parts of God's word that should not be believed?
1. I don't believe in Creation Science.
2. I don't believe in Apparent Age Creation.
3. I believe in Embedded Age Creation.
Was Adam created or did he evolve from lower forms of life?
Can you explain "Embedded Age Creation?"
Adam was created ex materia from the dust of the earth.Was Adam created or did he evolve from lower forms of life?
