Genesis 1 is to be taken literaly - it is the only logical option

[BobRyan]

As we can see from space/time expansion and relativity it is likely that this is exactly what happened.

It would mean that God could not accurately convey the time element in Ex 20:11 billions of years later at Sinai. And that Adam lived 500 million years then observed the 7th day

 

[BobRyan]

Oh, so you refuse to prove your point until I prove mine.

I proved mine numerous times with confessions from your own evolutionists - admitting the point.

My points ... admitted by your side... it does not "get any easier" than that

Nobody said Adam lived longer than the Bible says he did. "Billions of years" passed between the creation of Earth and creation of Adam. The word "day" has different meanings in Genesis 1 and Exodus 20:11.

Genesis mentions huge beasts that walk on the earth. Of course, that description fits dinosaurs and other species. The Bible does not name any species that lived before man because that is not its purpose, but it is clear there were dinosaurs both scientifically and Biblically.

Are you sure that Genesis mentions 'huge beasts'?

For dry land we have this --

24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind”; and it was so. 25 God made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

Oh no wait! you want a taxonamy chart... yeah well "The chart" is not given there.

Are you suggesting that dinosaurs roamed the earth alongside mankind?

 

[GodLovesCats]

24And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

Dinosaurs were wild creatures that moved along the ground. Because the Bible does not say every animal on the ground was small, you obviously cannot exclude dinosaurs - which we know are proven to exist.

I have no idea where you got that from. Everyone knows dinsoaurs lived tens of millions of years before a single human did and that fact has been proven beyond all doubt along with the fact they were all extinct 65 million years ago.

You stated the following in your previous post.

You did say that Dinosaurs roamed the earth in Genesis!

umm.... not everyone. thx.

According to Yahuweh and all His Word, yes. There is nothing about this at all that contradicts any part of His Word, His Plan nor His Purpose.

It is first grade science. If you went to school, you learned about it.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Since society is evil, (according to Revelation (the Apocalypse), Galatians, etc ) ,

what then science (yes, even first grade and kindergarten) ?
So then, I did not learn that in any school, no.

Show me a single dinsoaur that was alive at the same time humans were. Everyone who ever studied this topic knows allmost 100 million years passed since they were alive.

 

[GodLovesCats]

Yeshua, if you think schools don't teach science, you never went to school at all. It is IMPOSSIBLE to go to school and think they don't teach science. Schools don't teach religion; they teach science.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

ummm...... I think they are/ were all married. Not single.

For other references, need to go to the internet, if a good library is not available nearby.

See the references similar to answers in Genesis, though I have no idea what references are available ....

True science is so far different from false science teachings, just like heaven is so high above the earth so also God's Ways are so high above man's ways.

True science is what people learn in school. It is the facts that are taught to students.

That's appears to be an assumption. It is one that the fleshly carnal world, apart from the Creator, might define that way, yes, but not found in Scripture nor in God's Plan.

It cannot be proven true.

It has often been proven false. (daily perhaps?)

 

[GodLovesCats]

Yeshua, it is not an assumption. It is a PROVEN FACT. What definition of SCIENCE were you taught? And by that I mean not what religious people teach you, but real science based on evidence.

Science is all about proven facts. It has NOTHING to do with faith or religion.

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

Man's ways contradict Scripture, and lead people away from Jesus, and not to trust the Heavenly Father - they cannot at all be compatible nor both accepted as truth.

God's Word is Truth. Forever.

Man's ways die with man.
