Why would it?
This planet was a theocracy back then.
The closest we will come to Genesis 1 again is when Jesus Christ rules and reigns in His millennial kingdom.
So you go back to repeating what the New Testament says about the law? Why do you ignore what the law says about the law? Nowhere does the law say it cannot be followed. Nowhere does the law talk about heaven or hell or salvation by Grace. Repeatedly it promises Gods blessing on earth for following it.No the reading of the Law will not say this. The law is the required standard you and I must measure up to if we are trying to measure up on our own. Cursed is the one who does not fulfill the requirements of the law. That means lying, stealing, adultery, murder... but losing your temper is equal to murder. Lusting after someone who is not your spouse is adultery. Not only must you keep the commandments you must keep them in your heart. And guess what... you can't. No one can. Jesus is the only one who ever kept the entire law. On the cross He made a way to exchange His perfect life for your's and my flawed one.
Ok , we have explained to you briefly how rocks are dated.Have you ever picked up a rock or fossil and found the date stamped on it somewhere? No? Well then how do you know how old it is?
Well, the more we know, the more the evidence suggests it was written by men who had no idea how the universe worked. Quite the opposite, in fact...I'm a Christian who is living in the last days when "increased knowledge" shows that Genesis could NOT have been authored by men. God told Daniel HOW He hid His Truth in plain sight:
Dan 12:4 ¶ But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Everyone has seen you try to correct other Christians here all the time. It isn't that I disagree with Christians, it's that a select few religious folks (not just some Christians) insist on forcing their personal unfounded interpretations of their religious texts into the education system as if it were actual science, and it isn't.Haven't you noticed that I have no problem with Bible Believing Christians? My brethren in Christ recognize that my view agrees with God's Holy Word. Am I surprised that you disagree with all of us? Christians are those who have been saved by FAITH and that includes me.
It's Science, deal with it. People of all faiths, including more Christians than not, accept it as Science, it isn't just "godless men who have REJECTED God's Truth in Genesis" that accept the Theory of Evolution as science...False, since I have NO disagreement with Science but ONLY with the false assumptions of the Theory of Evolution, which is NOT factual Science, but instead, is the consensus view of godless men who have REJECTED God's Truth in Genesis.
....See?Along with Godly men who reject your interpretation of Genesis or have never heard of it.
Neither link answers my very specific question.
If I ever stepped on to my bathroom scale and saw 897 lbs displayed I would have good reason to question the accuracy of my scale. But if that happens...no problem...I just go grab a weight off my barbells STAMPED 25 lbs and set it on my scale to test it's accuracy. The problem is we haven't got any rocks stamped...25,000,000 B.C.E. to test the isotopes test's accuracy. Meaning we have no way to test the test and I've got good reason to doubt it's accuracy.
Please share your reason for doubting the accuracy of a rock dated with isochron methods.Meaning we have no way to test the test and I've got good reason to doubt it's accuracy.

Good to know -- since science might make your ideas on Genesis look pretty foolish any day now.False, since I have NO disagreement with Science but ONLY with the false assumptions of the Theory of Evolution, which is NOT factual Science, but instead, is the consensus view of godless men who have REJECTED God's Truth in Genesis.
Assuming, of course, that we are in fact in the last days, and there's no more knowledge to increase.
Otherwise, we might learn something totally new tomorrow which throws your entire interpretation of Genesis out the window.
Haven't you noticed how many Christians disagree with you?
Good to know -- since science might make your ideas on Genesis look pretty foolish any day now.
He's an atheist, just like I am. We don't believe in any deities, so we don't compare any knowledge base we recognize with them. From my perspective, to claim that I know more or less than something that I don't think exists would be a pointless activity.False, since your view supposes it knows more than God.
Legitimate question: why wouldn't the deity you believe in update the bible as human language grew and developed such as to make the ideas it wanted to convey clearer?The problem is with the interpretation or ancient Theology of men who lived thousands of years before Science. God hid His Truth in the scientific discoveries of the last days. Dan 12:4 Only with the increased knowledge we have today can one understand Genesis.
Then what of the people that deconvert? Logically, if you were able to be certain of a deity's existence once you believed in it, no one would stop believing.Agreed...but that works in God's favor insuring that ONLY BY FAITH can one come to know God.
It's the beginning of the last days because God has already started "pouring out His Spirit", the Spirit of Truth, upon ALL flesh, including atheists, agnostics and reprobates of all kinds, as He told us He would thousands of years ago.
Act 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh:
The only way many atheists agnostics and other reprobates will see His Truth is through the discoveries of Science. Amen?
Not so, since God has already told me of our Future.
The changeable Science of today will soon be replaced by God's Truth which changes not. It doesn't have to.
No. Can you name any Bible believing, born again Spiritually in Christ, Christian who has any problem with my view? Waiting..........
Dream on. Science is currently confirming what God told us more than 3k years ago.
Read Genesis chapter one and you too will know the complete History of God's 6 Day/Age Creation of the perfect 3rd Heaven. Nothing is left to your imagination since God sees the end from the beginning. Isa 46:10
Pretty sure the one with the awkward username of "dad" would count himself in that category.No. Can you name any Bible believing, born again Spiritually in Christ, Christian who has any problem with my view? Waiting..........
No, no, it's because I have no reason to consider any Gods in my view because of all the evidence that supports that view in the first place. In fact, there is so much evidence that I don't even have to address the question of supernatural beings except for overly zealous religious types who want to interrupt my day with fantastical views of said unseen & unsubstantiated supernatural beings.False, since your view supposes it knows more than God.
What happens to the billions of people who never hear about your religion and for that matter, your particular interpretation of it? Even many Christians won't agree with your views. Although you find it untenable, less than a third of the human population worldwide subscribe to some version of your God, leaving two thirds at least who simply haven't heard (and never will hear) the "Good News" of your religion. Instead, they're often of some other religion with some completely different understanding of the universe that they find completely plausible, while looking and laughing at you about yours. Ironically, you'll be doing exactly the same thing about theirs.The problem is with the interpretation or ancient Theology of men who lived thousands of years before Science. God hid His Truth in the scientific discoveries of the last days. Dan 12:4 Only with the increased knowledge we have today can one understand Genesis.
@PsychoSarah makes this point quite well:Agreed...but that works in God's favor insuring that ONLY BY FAITH can one come to know God. I'm like a person born out of time because I support what I post with the agreement of Scripture, Science and History. Faith plus fact equals God's Truth in the last days before Jesus returns. Amen?
Then what of the people that deconvert? Logically, if you were able to be certain of a deity's existence once you believed in it, no one would stop believing.
And how do you know the 25 pound weights are accurate? Because we trust the procedure that was used to calibrate the scales that weighed them?Neither link answers my very specific question. And trust me, though rhetorical, it gets to a very important point. If I ever stepped on to my bathroom scale and saw 897 lbs displayed I would have good reason to question the accuracy of my scale. But if that happens...no problem...I just go grab a weight off my barbells STAMPED 25 lbs and set it on my scale to test it's accuracy.

So what do you need science for at all?
It confirms God's Truth in Genesis. That means that it is proof of God and since we are living in the last days before Jesus returns, it confirms my Faith.
When they find Adam's firmament in Lake Van, you too, will begin proclaiming God's Truth. Amen?

Lake where?When they find Adam's firmament in Lake Van, you too, will begin proclaiming God's Truth. Amen?
