So to be saved you must believe the Biblical creation stories, except that there are certain parts of those stories that you can dismiss?
Do you believe God or not. You see, I explained the Creation story above, and what it means, and the order of it all. But you still think it is allegorical. Why do you think it is "just a story" ? Because you have believed evolution, lets be honest, this is why you do not believe the Creation story. That means the universe needs no creator, nor do animals, nor do we. God might very well see this as men hedging their bets (so to speak) by saying I BELIEVE, when they really in their hearts don't. You see, God sees our hearts.
YOM no doubt means a set period of time, an ERA, an Evening and a Morning or beginning and ending.
1.) First Day = 9.2 Billion years, MY REASONING IS, the Second day began with the Heavens above the Earth and the Earth having water. (God divided the Waters) So 13.7 Billion years until 4.5 Billion years is an ERA (YOM/DAY) of 9.2 Billion years. BUT....Does it fit ? Is it logical ? The answer is yes, when you look at NASA's WMAP map (see post #26 to see the WMAP map), it shows EXACTLY what the Bible says, a period of Darkness for 400 million years ( Darkness was on the face of the Deep, then Light came next !! ). Genesis 1:2 And the
earth was without form, and void; and
darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And
God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
The Earth was not formed yet, CLEAR AS DAY, and the DARKNESS came first CLEAR AS DAY, then the Light came next, CLEAR AS DAY, the Stars started forming after 400 Million years of Darkness, God, as always, is 100 percent correct.
2.) Day Two is from 4.5 Billion years BC until the next ERA (YOM/DAY) and the bible clearly tells us what the NEXT ERA was, it was the Third Day, the ------11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
So when did Grass start forming on the Earth ? Science tells us about 900 Million years ago, give or take, so the Second Day is 4.5 Billion Years until 900 Million years BC, which is an ERA (YOM/DAY) of 3.6 Billion years.
And SO ON, I can go through all 6 Days, and show how they actually correlate with scientific facts. For instance, God says on the Fifth Day, He created the Sea Creatures, Science tells us that the Sea Creature came at about the 500 Million BC mark, before the Land animals which God said He created on the SIXTH DAY, which started coming around at about the 250 Million BC mark. So the bible is 100 percent accurate. It is men who are confused. Because they just can't believe the scriptures in full, after all the bible says man is only 6000 years old. AGAIN, this takes logic to figure out. Man was not Created in God's Image, until He imparted man with His Spirit, before that, animals like man, were just animals, not a man made in GODS IMAGE. After God created man, at the 6000 BC mark the bible says God rested. But the Creation is still going on, what Gives? Well this explains verse one, God created the Heaven and Earth.....God gave the commandment, that was His first order of business so to speak, commanding the Universe to come into being, that doesn't mean the Earth came about at the 13.7 Billion BC mark, it only means GOD COMMANDED IT TO BE. If this was not the case, then God could not be RESTING, because the Universe is STILL FORMING..........So it is evident that verse one, is not saying the Earth was formed before the Stars, we know this because we have to use LOGIC, it was a Commandment of God, and the Earth was still FORMLESS and VOID. It all fits, if we use logic and believe what God says is truth. We did not evolve from lower life forms, this is pure bunk, that comes from Satan.
