UNBREAKABLE

[Tone]

Jeremiah 33:20
"20“This is what the LORD says: If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night cease to occupy their appointed time, 21then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant and with My ministers the Levites who are priests, so that David will not have a son to reign on his throne."

Does the theory of evolution attempt to do this by turning the literal days of creation into some vast amount of time?

No the theory of evolution explains the changes and diversity of life, and that's it.

The evidence found in physics, geology and astrophysics demonstrate that the Earth is billions of years old. But that is just an explanation to the evidence, not some kind of anti-Creationist intent.

A scientific theory doesn't attempt to do anything, other than provide a well evidenced and useful explanatory model of some aspect of reality. If that happens to contradict a particular religious text, that's the fault of the text and its failure to line up with reality.

Besides, singling out the Theory of Evolution here is irrelevant.

Geology and chemistry had already established the earth was (at least) hundreds of millions of years old before Darwin and Wallace published. In the 50 years before their join presentation, the argument in the scientific community was whether the earth was 10s of millions of years old (probably the most common view until the very late 1800s), hundreds of millions of years old (probably the second most common view), billions of years old (a relatively uncommon view) or whether it was indefinitely old (an uncommon, but not unheard of, view mostly a keep over from the 1700s).

It wasn't until the discovery of radioactivity and radioactive decay in the early 1900s that researchers started to get a handle on how old the earth actually was. Estimates in the early 1920s were generally between 2 billion and 4 billion years. By the 1940s, this was more towards the 4 billion years and by the early 1950s, the estimates were very close to what they are today.

No, the theory of evolution tries to explain the diversity and similarity of life around us.

Some atheists try to hijack it for their agenda (like Richard Dawkins), but they are only insignificant minority. Similar to YEC minority between Christians. Similarly vocal, too.

No. We knew that the Earth was very ancient before Darwin.

Maybe you should try tilting at geology.

"20“This is what the LORD says: If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night cease to occupy their appointed time,

Truly shocking. Like all those people who have been turning their clocks with daylight saving time and probably breaking the covenant. All those lost souls.

Maybe there are some theological issues with timezones as well.......

To imagine we have brains and they are used for this.

Does the theory of evolution attempt to do this by turning the literal days of creation into some vast amount of time?

No. It was known that the Earth was older than Ussher's calculations of the age of the Earth from Biblical account. But the geologists of the time did advertise the fact outside the scientific community of the time. And they figured that out by looking for the great flood, and not finding evidence for it. That is where the first cracks of biblical literal interpretation for interpreting the physical world widened to the point of no return.

Evolution just widened it further with evidence of species change over time. This doesn't mean there is no God, or that the whole of Christianity is a lie. But it does mean taking the Bible literally is a bad bet for interpreting the physical world.

You're terribly confused here. The ToE is based on observation and data, and "attempts" to do nothing, except provide a working explanation for the distribution and biodiversity we see.

How cdesign proponentsists attempt to justify their religious beliefs is a personal choice, and may or may not, comport with reality.

Does the theory of evolution attempt to do this by turning the literal days of creation into some vast amount of time?

No, because the Theory of Evolution has absolutely nothing to do with any religious doctrine. It is based on observation of the natural world.

Joshua had already succeeded in having God break his covenant with day and night when he made the sun and moon stand still so his slaughter could continue. But of course, as the good book says:

Joshua 10:14 And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man.

God doesn't listen to humans any longer, so the challenge in Jeremiah is somewhat lame, isn't it?

 

[AV1611VET]

Does the theory of evolution attempt to do this by turning the literal days of creation into some vast amount of time?

Nah, I doubt it.

Day-agers attempt to force-fit Genesis 1 into evolution.

In doing so, they just make it worse.

For example, how did angiosperms exist eons without the sun?

If we're going to be laughed at by unbelievers, let them laugh at us for being literal, not compromising.

 

[AV1611VET]

God doesn't listen to humans any longer,

So I'm not saved?

 

[Bungle_Bear]

So I'm not saved?

Non sequitur

 

[AV1611VET]

Non sequitur

Um ... just asking.

If God doesn't listen to us anymore, am I saved?

And it's a legit question.

I don't think you'll get moderated if you say NO.

I certainly won't report you, and I pray no one else does either.

Joshua's long day didn't break the day/night cycle (last time I looked).

Are you seriously trying to tell me that making the sun & moon stand still is not changing "their appointed time"?

Being saved is not God listening to you, it is you believing Jesus died for you.

If everything stops at the same time nothing changes.

 

[Bungle_Bear]

Time didn't stop genius. The day was made longer so that Joshua and his army could kill more people.
