The Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old, while the universe is estimated to be around 13.8 billion years old.
You continue to repeat saying this. So, in your view, the people mentioned in the bible as living before the Flood don't matter, perhaps shouldn't even be in the bible at all? If the creation account in Genesis started with Noah, where would that leave New Testament verses such as this:Hi
Trying to work out the age of the earth from scripture is a complete waste of time the creation account in Genesis should be applied starting with Noah and only concerns the creation of man in the image of God and that man is Jesus Christ at his second coming he is the only man in scripture who is said to be in the image of God and as such he is the end of creation.

As angels are spiritual beings, I don't agree that the giants were offspring of angels and women. It was the widespread wickedness which was God's reason for the Flood.Hi David Thank you for your reply I did not say they did not matter I said they were destroyed in the flood the first Adam was destroyed because it was contaminated by the angles and they produced giants not what God intended.
So God began again to create man in his image which would culminated in Jesus Christ man ( mankind ) in the image of God.
A question was the first Adam and the last Adam created in the same way.

No maybe it was just a natural result from the methods He used. I mean He did specifically tell us how long ago He did it and how long it took Him to do it.Sounds like a variation of the "God made everything look old" thing.
I don’t know what this has to do with the question. Are the laws of physics acting normal when Jesus is walking on water right in front of you?The Bible says Peter sank because of his lack of faith. The word “miracles” as we understand it today doesn’t appear in the Bible in its strict theological sense. The Latin word miraculum is not found in the Vulgate New Testament and appears only a few times in the Vulgate Old Testament for various Hebrew terms that describe.
The word “miracles” and “dynamite" are related through the Greek word dynamesi (δύναμις), which means “power” or “strength.”
Hi DavidAs angels are spiritual beings, I don't agree that the giants were offspring of angels and women. It was the widespread wickedness which was God's reason for the Flood.
To answer your question, the Last Adam" Jesus Christ was not created at all. He is eternal. As you know, His human body came about by the Holy Spirit working in the virgin Mary.
The only man to ever be created in the image of God was Adam. Jesus created Adam in His image, but he lost that image when he fell and the rest of humanity was born baring the image of Satan.Hi

I do not have a bible name for this but I am inclined to think it is some sort of astor projection. This is simular to our ability for our mind to manifest itself in the physical world. When we do construction work there are things that are impossible to do and yet every building gets built and people do the impossible. Oprah and The law of attraction people talk about this. She thinks it is compatible with Christianity, others do not. She has kind of the midis touch, whatever she touches turns to gold.Are the laws of physics acting normal when Jesus is walking on water right in front of you?
Hi Dan 1988The only man to ever be created in the image of God was Adam. Jesus created Adam in His image, but he lost that image when he fell and the rest of humanity was born baring the image of Satan.
Jesus is the Almighty Jehovah God, Creator of everything that exits. So He created His own earthly body, which He retains to this day, complete with the scars from the nails in His hand and feet and the spear in His side.
The bible does give us an approximate age of the earth and we know it's around 6000 years, there is no evidence to prove otherwise.
God told me that His Justice is as perfect and precise as the universe is. We see a lot of miracles and healings. My opinion is that God is restoring things to His plan and purpose. Isaiah 46:10 says, “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’” Jeremiah 1 12b "I am watching[a] to see that my word is fulfilled.”(we sometimes refer to these ways as "laws" but God doesn't),
If God's justice is only as perfect as the universe, we are in trouble! Since the Fall, the universe has been far from perfect. The earth has brought forth thorns, brambles and weeds, animals have become dangerous, people more and more sinful. As Romans says:God told me that His Justice is as perfect and precise as the universe is. We see a lot of miracles and healings. My opinion is that God is restoring things to His plan and purpose. Isaiah 46:10 says, “I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’” Jeremiah 1 12b "I am watching[a] to see that my word is fulfilled.”
God does not violate His word. He watches over His word to accomplish His plan and purpose.
Matthew 7 22 "Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
I’m just gonna come right out and say it, if someone can’t believe in miracles then they can’t believe in the Bible it’s just that simple. A big part of the problem is that people want the Bible to say what they want it to say, instead of letting it say what it says. There’s a huge misconception about the Bible that many people believe and it’s the idea that we’re free to interpret it whichever way suits us and that idea is false because the Bible speaks truth and truth is not subjective to personal or popular opinion. It’s not about what can we make the Bible say it’s about what is the author trying to tell us and so many people get hung up on this idea that science can’t be wrong which causes them to try to change what the Bible says thru interpretation and it just never works because it always results in contradicting what is actually written.Well said brother, I'm glad we agree on the main things, even if disagree on the peripherals.
I can't figure out why so any Christians turn their back on what God said and place their faith in fallen men, instead. God created science, so you would think that He deserves to be taken seriously.
Pope Francis said he believes in the theory of evolution, he believes God used Charles Darwin's theory of natural selection as a mechanism to create the natural world. He said "God is not a magician", so he's saying that God had to play by some natural laws, to enable Him to create everything.
I’ve worked in construction for 30 and nobody ever did anything that was impossible.When we do construction work there are things that are impossible to do and yet every building gets built and people do the impossible.
Peter did walk on water.Peter was not able to walk on water but he was able to get out of prison.
Bible is not a book, Bible is a compiled library of various writings, written in various times.If this is the case, it makes one wonder, when was the Bible actually written ???

Why dont you use a search engine or an AI for such factual questions?
For some people everything is a miracle, for some people NOTHING is a miracle. We already knew which one you were. In everything we are to give thanks, praise, honor and glory onto God.I’ve worked in construction for 30 and nobody ever did anything that was impossible.
