I will respond to the two newest posts of Praxeas, however, as a genreal rule, I notice these reoccouring themes.
1)You are attempting to interpret scripture through science. You are not and have not posted any SCRIPTURAL evidence for an earth and creation that is billions of years old.
2)I asked for an exegesis of
Genesis 1 from a theistic evolutionist, and was told that was a red herring. No, what that is called is a cop out.
3)You posts on this subject are full of assumptions. You speak of dating methods as if they are fact, when in reality they cannot be proven.
When God created Adam (if you accept there was a literal Adam, since when I asked about Him, and 28 other Old Testament events, you claimed it was aRed Herring)-- He didn't create Him as a single cell who evolved, he didn't create him as a child or a teenager, but as a fully matured man capable of logic, language, and procreation. Yet if we showed up on day 9 Adam would appear to us to be perhaps a 30 year old man, yet in reality, only 3 days old. When God created the stars on day 4, no doubt if measured on day 5 they would measure thousands of light years, yet they were only 1 day old. If we saw a tree on day 6 with fruit on it, we would assume its been there many years. If we cut it down we would likely find many rings in it, however the tree itself would only be 3 days old. Again, the theories that you have decided to accept are not fact, they don't take into account the power of God or catastrophic events, and are largely based on uniformitarianism.
All in all its is TE's whose arguments revolve around science, and not scripture. Perhaps you all should call yourselves Rossites?
