Featured the age of the earth

However, the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, strongly condemns deviant sexual behavior including fornication and adultery so there is really no room for discussion. Similarly the Bible condemns atheism and there is no reason to have an atheist posting on this Baptist Board. Is there?

So you are not referring to me in this?

 

If you are referring to me, I did not make that statement!! Please go back and read if you think that I said that in the original post!!

You really need to read that in context as well. I do not see your name even remotely associated with that comment

 

OK, now I see you were repeating a quote from OR. It was in your text so I presumed it was your statement. My apologies. You (general) may call me any number of things but "atheist ain't one of them".

 

QF

We apparently are not communicating very well. You were extolling the virtues of mathematics above science and engineering, patting yourself on the back so to speak. Do that long enough and you will develop arm and shoulder problems.

 

You are not using the quote feature properly. We are not in agreement at all. I believe I made myself quite clear but I will repeat:

 

I thought I was defending you QF!

 

Have already had rotator cuff surgery....not an easy one to recoup from.

 

It was a "misread" on my part. I saw the quote in a statement by MC (in his response text) and read it as his comment. He corrected me.

There are many things I can be called...but that is not one of them.

No worries.

 

Just one more reason people should use the quote feature correctly!

Oddly enough, it appears I am aligning with many theologians of a reformed nature. Go figure.

 

^^^^ Gotta "AMEN" that!

 

No, 4.5 billion years is the approximate age of the earth, that would be from it early original chaotic state. Humans (homo sapiens) have been around for only a small fraction of that time scale. Approximately 100,000 years for hominids.

Your sound off about male and female from the beginning has nothing to do with the age of the earth or even the age of humanity for that matter. This thread does not stink of unbelief.....and you SIR may quit trying to infer that I or anyone else is an unbeliever. I believe in and worship the Creator of this universe. I DO NOT worship or place science out of its role as the natural revelation of its maker.

Yes I agree, the natural revelation and the truths imparted from scripture should be in agreement.

 

Sarcasm rarely escapes me neither does it do much to phase me. I can be skilled at returning it though.

 

I would love to see 3-6 replies or more.

Is the context of John 11:9,10 more relative to time, as described in A. Genesis 1:14-18 OR B. to Genesis 1:2-5?

Of course my answer as you all know is B.

Now if the answer is truly, as in the truth of the word of God, B then one must ask himself why was Darkness on the face of the deep, on the earth, before the Light came to the earth?

How long had the Darkness been on the earth? Is God in reality about to deal with, the Darkness as the adversary to The Light and is He going to do this by renewing the face of the earth and creating man in his image?

Earth being also a very key word in this discussion.
