As presented in the OP:

Does a person first need to learn of God's Ways before concluding what they learned from geologic science?

The above is a bigger more important question than some have understood.

Many Scriptures have been presented so far that show people need to be led and taught (enlightened and corrected) by the Holy Spirit.

Otherwise they have made void to them all that God through His Spirit teaches. Even about Earth's origin and history.

Many will remain in error until they become taught by the Holy Spirit - knowledge and understanding that brings Reality to a person.

Making what He teaches void in one's life makes knowledge gained by geologic science have error. Major error. Extreme error. And make them conclude things that are false. Incorrectly understood and conclusions made. When Eve was Created - after 24 hours she did not look 1 day old. She exhibited a multitude of evidence that would indicate by natural processes that she was much older tha 24 hours.

God has His Ways. We need Him in order to come to Reality about the Creation around us.

Speaking of which.... what makes you so sure it took 24 hours to “create Eve” and that “she didn’t look one day old”? what evidence did she exhibit?

Incorrect on both accounts.

Introducing Scriptures that bear light on what is Reality and how to attain such understanding.

Such understanding will remain unattainable until you line up to God's Way of learning, which is more than through our senses and brain - foremost understanding should be attained from the Holy Spirit. Thus, Scriptures that point specifically to learning through Him teaching. Nothing was directed only to you.

I disagree.

As in the OP, which should a person turn to in learning Reality - God our Science?

I answered. Science.

I think by this point in the thread you should know the answer, and why we need to turn to Him foremost in our learning.

Making the Scriptures void in ones life on Earth will bring error in their walk and talk.

Setting God and His leading aside produces a trail of error in what one knows and concludes, including the geologic history of Earth.

Again, I disagree completely.

Apparent Embedded Age in Creating Objects is something presented plainly in the Scriptures. I have used Eve to this point. She is an easy to recognize historical event by the Creator.

I disagree and this is something you need to work out with the other Christians around the world who disagree with you before trying to assert that it's the Truth and everyone else is blind to it. Eve is a fictional character like Elizabeth Bennet, or Alice. It is not reality.

One can easily see presenting points of ones understanding that have been produced by only their intellect: information without the Holy Spirits leading and correcting.

Again, one must turn to God for Reality. Setting Him and what He teaches to the side produces the manifold man-made error existing today.

Without the Holy Spirit teaching how can one understand key points in the Scriptures about God's Ways and Accomplishments with Divine Purpose?

Has the below Scriptures ever been effective in your life that has taught you things you would not know until such is active and effectively at work in you?

Many have made essentials in life from God basically void in their life. The Holy Spirit teaches about all things. .

View attachment 219876


Many have no teaching from the Holy Spirit at work in them. What they learn and say is from intellect, brain power. There needs to be both, with the Holy Spirit leading as we learn.

So you're just going to continue ignore what people actually say to you... only to reply with irrelevant, off-topic preaching and bible verses spamming?

What are you doing on a discussion forum?

Which should a person do foremost towards understanding Earth's origin and history: turn to God or to Science?

False dichotomy.

DId Eve have a belly button?
How do you learn about Reality?

Which is foremost in you arriving in knowing Reality, what the Holy Spirit teaches you (in your mind) or what you only attain by your intellect (brain) and Earth examination?

What holy spirit???
Then you are missing a major dynamics of learning in this life.

By intellect you are arriving at truth. It need to also include the Holy Spirit.

Did the Holy Spirit tell you whether Eve had a belly button?

For many their intellect is the only way they can gain knowledge.

Since such is true then how are they going to learn what the Holy Spirit reveals, even verses in the Bible reflecting such Holy Spirit-attained knowledge.

There is a time when parts of the Bible glow from what the Holy Spirit reveals. Eve was Created with Apparent Age.

When she was one Earth revolution old she did not look 1 day old. She has an Apparent Mature Age.

Reality sets in through Him who guides people into truth. This is reality, not knowledge produced by natural man.

Many boast in knowledge they have from only their intellect.

It is the Holy Spirit that opens the content of the Bible. He leads people to understand the different parts of the Bible.

When one is baptized by the Holy Spirit they are drawn to the Bible, and taught many things within the Bible.

Have you been baptized by the Holy Spirit?

Pick which is foremost.

Sure, but first answer this: Your wife's birthday is coming up, which do you do, worship God or plan a nice day out with the missus?

I'll take that as a "yes" - you'll just continue ignoring what people say and spam preaching and bible verses.
