Re: But I Thought The Earth Was 6,000 Years Old

You're welcome.

It's an amazing thing. Man gazes up at the stars, gazes at the life and creation around him and draws many different conclusions. People made "gods" out of many things that did not and could not protect and provide for them. One group of people followed and were led by a God who did, and could, though there was often correction, but it was correction out of love. Then man starts to think he becomes wiser than God and comes up with a "theory" for how all life came to be. This theory of course can't really be proven and many attempts to do so end in failure, but people still latch on to it and teach it as if it were proven fact. I mean, it's gotten to the point where some who can't or won't believe in God postulate that maybe the notion of a multiverse (infinite number of universes), and we just happen to live in one of this infinite number where everything happened just so naturally without the need for God. They mock the faith of those who believe in God, yet somehow this is more believable. When all it boils down to is the desire to remove any notion of God from the equation, because the notion of a God who wants you to live your life a certain way is just too much for them to handle. There are some who waffle and stand squarely in the middle and say, "Well maybe God used evolution to create life"... but that's not what it says in His Word. It says He created kind after kind, each separate, and that they multiplied kind after kind.

So many skeptics and critics try to tear the bible down, and they do so out of their own ignorance of what it really says. They make no effort to rightly divide the Word or to check out the original languages. They take things out of context and never really look at it beyond just a quick glance at the surface, and they think they have it all figured out, when really, they don't know a thing.

But you know, without the grace of God and without diligent work on a student's part to study and understand, no one would really know a thing. But it is a bit laughable, but it's also really sad. Because God wrote that to be studied, and to be read and to be reflected upon, and applied to each and everyone of His children's lives, so that they could be happy, be blessed, and have eternal life rather than have their very soul destroyed after Judgment Day.
