Obedience is better than sacrifice
I could turn the question back at you, and ask you if you have any scientific evidence that Genesis 1 is how it really happened? Note that the Biblical account does not qualify as scientific evidence.
As for the evidence you asked for, I'm not as experienced in arguing TE as some others on this forum, but here's one piece. Various dating methods have determined the Earth to be 4.5 billion years old. However, the universe is at least 10 billion years old.
Now if the Genesis 1 account is exactly how it happened (i.e. in 6 24-hour days), then the Earth and the universe would be the same age. So a literal reading does not match the physical evidence.
Thanks for your response. However, I don't need to prove that Gen 1 is literal, for I firmly believe it to be so. It is up to those who believe that it cannot be to prove it, for they are questioning that God's word on the matter is not factual.
Your point about the Earth and Universe being the same age is interesting. How do you know that they are not? Can you prove conclusively that they are of different ages? If so, how, seeing as man has only been to the moon.
Do you know how accurate the dating is? How can you prove it to be accurate?
One last question, what is TE? Seen these initials around but unsure as to what it means. Thanks
