How Old Is The Earth

[Ace777]

Museum storage rooms often house a fascinating array of artifacts that aren’t always on public display. Here are some examples:

1. Textiles and Fabrics: Ancient textiles, clothing, and tapestries provide insights into historical fashion, craftsmanship, and cultural practices.
2. Pottery and Ceramics: Fragments of pottery, vases, and ceramic vessels reveal artistic styles, trade routes, and daily life in different civilizations.
3. Archaeological Tools: Tools used by archaeologists, such as brushes, trowels, and measuring instruments, are essential artifacts for understanding excavation techniques.
4. Natural History Specimens: Fossils, minerals, and preserved animal specimens help scientists study evolution, geology, and biodiversity.
5. Ethnographic Objects: Masks, tribal artifacts, and indigenous tools showcase cultural diversity and traditions from around the world.
6. Documents and Manuscripts: Letters, scrolls, and ancient manuscripts provide historical context and reveal personal stories.
7. Weapons and Armor: Swords, shields, and armor from different time periods illustrate military technology and warfare.

Remember, these artifacts contribute to our understanding of humanity’s past and enrich our knowledge of art, science, and culture!

The majority of people who have died from Covid were vaccinated.

Considering that most of the people who died from covid did so before the vax was available, that statement is obviously and ridiculously false . Any other bits of similar brilliance to offer?

 

[Job 33:6]

Except the information came from God

Moses wrote the Pentateuch. He was inspired by God. Being inspired does not mean that God took over his brain and wrote the Bible for him.

Yet: the wine did not exhibit any property that indicated it was any older than just a few minutes.

The fact that it was fermented indicates it was more than just a few minutes old.

It's like a house that looks 50 years old. If someone claiming to be a prophet even, or an expert, says the house was built 5 months ago, but I see years of deterioration, do you think I will believe what they say? No, I'll believe what I see and surmise that it's 50 yrs old, and reasonably so. I wouldn't have to have historical documentation to prove the house is older than they claim.

I accept the word of God as historical documentation.

I apologize. I should have said that the majority of people who have died from covid over the past 2 years were vaccinated, including my father.

Moses was inspired? That’s how he wrote the account of creation we are talking about? I believe that information was given to Moses directly by God. They spent quite a bit of time together talking.

It is also reasonable to speculate that Adam was born the way Science says he was born. Going back to the beginning of the story what made Adam different was the breath of life. The fact that God breathed His life into Adam.

You mean via progressive evolution? I don't think so, since it hasn't happened since the beginning of mankind. When Jesus said "from the beginning," I take it to mean the beginning of man, not the beginning of cromagnon.

I agree it doesn’t prove it but it’s what you’d expect if you said the earth was only 6k years. While if I said it was billions you’d expect a lot more recorded history.

It’s odd to me that you would dismiss that fact so easily. That is a very significant fact.

Recorded history? From man you mean? Or from geology and other science? Be specific on what I "dismissed."

It wasn't dictated. Moses got much of what he wrote from oral tradition and his Egyptian education. (and that doesn't make it any less inspired, although not scientific the way you think.)

The Bible doesn’t say Adam was created as a man? That he named all the animals.
Im just trying to get you to agree Adam was created old relative to a 1 day old baby.

How old was Adam exactly? Got a scripture reference? Did Adam name all the animals the same day he was created? Let's hear your insights.

When God says “For in 6 days the Lord made heaven and earth” I tend to take what He says literally. Especially when he literally sets aside a day as the sabbath. Nothing hyperbolic about that statement such as Jesus statement entails.

Since we can only speculate about it, I'll wait until all things are revealed to find out exactly how it was done. In the meantime, I'm not going to abandon the real world.

He was created old enough to be able to work in the Garden, Genesis 2:15
He was created old enough to be given the command "you must not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil", Genesis 2:17. If God had thought Adam incapable of understanding his command it would have been unreasonable to punish him for breaking it.
He was created old enough to have a wife, Genesis 2:25.
He was created old enough to be able to name all the animals, Genesis 2:20.
He was created old enough to know that he had done wrong, to hide from God and to blame his wife, Genesis 3:12.

He is referred to as a man throughout Genesis 2 - presumably they had a different word for boy, or toddler.

And all this was done in a single day? And you know this, how? Even if your speculation is not mentioned, it is assumed.

Also, it would seem the man was first formed, then the garden was planted, then the man was put there. (2:7-8) Then the commands, then the work and naming, then the marriage sometime later. Could it have taken 5 or 10 years for all this?

But let's do assume that "man" means someone old enough for all this, IOW after puberty. So what?

I sure dont know who told you this , but sure do know its not the case my dear friend .
what was recorded in the bible , what moses said and etc , IT DIDNT COME from no egyptian education . IT came OF GOD .
time to treat the bible as it is and has been . INSPIRED BY GOD , not men .
FOR HOLY men in old time spoke as they were MOVED by THE HOLY GHOST .
Just a real friendly , but i must admit dire necessary REMINDER .

 

[tdidymas]

Nice evasion. The Bible calls it a miracle. But for the creation, it doesn't say whether it was miraculous or providential. That's the basis of the controversy.

PS , i sure dont know HOW old the earth is , i leave that knowledge TO GOD who created it .
Be blessed everyone .

When Jesus said "from the beginning,"

Jesus was talking about Adam and Eve and that is a double whammies. I wonder why did God make them male and female. Because men and women often do not get along. We are told this is a type of Jesus and His Church or Bride. BUT the point is God made them male and female a long time ago. Back when they were pond scum (algee). Exactly the way the Bible says. The male split into male and female but his side healed up and he became whole and the female became whole and ALL live came from that female pond scum. So when Jesus says from the beginning he is talking about billions of years ago in the beginning of life that became male and female 6,000 years ago. (5995) God declares the end from the beginning. Giod made Adam and Eve 6,000 years ago. He began His work 13.8 billion years ago. It is all the same for God because He did what He did in a instant, less than the blink of an eye.

If we but read the bible for ourselves we would have seen what peter and paul and others had warned about .
They will embrace fables . cause to be honest some of the stuff i am reading is mind blowing .
it truly is that the carnal mind of man really cannot grasp the things of GOD . Anway i shall leave on that note .

Being moved by the Holy Ghost doesn't mean dictated or automatic writing. The men were fallible, and intense study of scripture bears that out. God can communicate what He wants to people, even through fallible narratives.
