Re: Creation and Time by Hugh Ross

Exodus 20:11 For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

There is the verse right? What I am trying to say is this. If you insist that the bible teaches a literal 6 day creation and a 10000 year old earth then when people start to understand that real science actually does point to an old earth there will be no way to save their faith if they believe the bible actually teaches a literal 6 day creation and 10000 year old earth.

Real science doesn't point to an old earth.

Re: Creation and Time by Hugh Ross

I see no indicators that I will ever be convinced that the earth is older than 6-10k years old. There is no reason to think otherwise.

If however some kind of monumental "evidence" were to be foudn tomorrow to point to an old earth, I would stand by my convictions. The Bible will always prove itself true.

And that my friend is why your version of christianity will die. It is not adaptable. It will not evolve to compensate for any future criticisms. Sure it may live on just a little while longer... but once it's habitat gets shaken up a bit more, it will have nowhere left to live.

Re: Creation and Time by Hugh Ross

I put my faith in scripture. Others put it in scientists who as a majority do not believe in God. Gee...I wonder why they would slant data and manipulate in order to push theories contrary to the Bible? Hmm...

Possible I guess. But when/if my brand of Christianity dies I feel sorry for the world left without it. It will have only a shallow pathetic weak version of truth that compromises for every lie and trend. That sounds really lifechanging right?

Sounds a lot like the Christians of yesteryear insisting the Earth was the absolute center of the entire universe and all things literally revolved around the earth. Oh yes, we now look back and can clearly show in the Bible and in science why they were wrong, I truely believe the same will happen on this subject. In the future, our children will look back at the YEC and be amused at their improper understanding of both the Bible and sciences explainations. But be advised, Christianity will survive in spite of the notions of YEC.
