CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
In reference to God creating an earth made with apparent age,

So God creates a sun that is not needed, but wait, without the sun we would all parish. I'm 100% with freezerman2000 on this one, that's not my God.

And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever. - Revelation 22:5
Is that your God?

Do you think a book full of esoteric symbolism is a literal description of the future? You know, stars falling out of the sky, a woman seated upon a beast, and all that.

While it's full of symbolism, it's not all symbolism. A cursory reading woukd show that.

When Jesus said, "I am the light of the world," did he mean he was going to take over the role of the Sun, or was he using a metaphor?

In this dispensation ... yes.
But not in the first one.

A deceiving God is not my God. What do say we get back on topic. Do you think that the earth and entire universe contains embedded age that is only 6,000 years old?

And so we go back to square one. How is it that we can see stars which are millions of light years away from us?
Don't tell me, God strategically positioned photons in space which were only,,,,, well not very far away, if Adam was going to see them.

And again, since the Bible itself is being questioned a bit stronger evidence is required.

Because God intended for us to see them, prior to the invention of the telecscope.
The plan of salvation is in the stars, and thus those who have never heard the Gospel via special revelation, will be held accountable for not knowing the Gospel via general revelation.

Maybe not to you, but it is rather obvious that some of the other Christians here do not agree.

Here's what's required.
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”
1 Peter 3:15
That I can do.

Absolutely!
I remember it from a post yesterday. However, reviewing the thread it is not there. There is a similar thread on the C&E side, perhaps it may have been there. Nevertheless, I do not accept embedded age as it requires deception, especially on the scale that we observe; not just with age, but the processes involved as well.
