Featured Young Earth - Old Earth

Might. For whom? How?

 

Please re-read my statement.

It is a question.

It is impolite to answer a question with another question.

 

You do not know that.

 

Yall can interpret scripture via man made science but I will just trust the word of God. It says in 6 24 hour days. The Bible says it, I believe it, that settles it.

 

Yes, it degraded it from perfection to subject to mutation. Given enough time that alone will doom us according to some. Genetics lowered the life span after the fall, also, right?

The curse affected everything in the universe, as you know. The earth is so polluted by sin that it will be burnt. Hank, do you think that it is today any different than it was before the Genesis Flood? I can't decide on that point.

 

There is the "ice canopy" theory but that is only a mechanical difference.

 

I didn’t miss your question, but you seem to have missed my answer. “Might.” However, your question seemed rhetorical. Are you suggesting no one would be surprised?

It isn’t necessarily impolite to ask a question to a question. Sometimes clarification is required.

 

Right. My bad.
Yes it is rhetorical. I believe their DNA was modified/mutated and the process of "entropy" was introduced into the entire universe as well.

en·tro·py
noun: entropy; plural noun: entropies; symbol: S

1. 1.
   Physics
   a thermodynamic quantity representing the unavailability of a system's thermal energy for conversion into mechanical work, often interpreted as the degree of disorder or randomness in the system.
2. 2.
   lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder.
   "a marketplace where entropy reigns supreme"
   synonyms: deterioration, degeneration, crumbling, decline, degradation, decomposition, breaking down, collapse; More
   disorder, chaos
   "life is a struggle against entropy"
3. 3.
   (in information theory) a logarithmic measure of the rate of transfer of information in a particular message or language.

Obviously there was the added spiritual scope of a breakdown of communications and fellowship with our Father, restored by the Son.

 

My school of thought puts more stock in the God-planted Garden and the life-preserving Tree of Life, though the Flood event must have marked a dramatic physical change that led to much shorter lifespans, and a non-vegetarian diet.

Is that entropy bit a commonly held idea? I don’t think it will bear up under scientific analysis. Entropy builds whenever energy is used, in other words, in virtually every physical process.

Ultimately, the spiritual is the defining condition of concern for us all, and don’t I know it!

 

Oh, I misspoke. I meant do you think that violence today is as bad as before the Flood?

 

Not yet.

 

Entropy is the world's concept of THE END of everything where electrons slow down in their orbits around/through nuclei

It has a kernel of truth. If allowed.

Sometimes it is called The Heat Death of the Universe.

 

But, He did it from water, not grapes.

 

You're just citing the fragmented and incomplete data you've been fed. GR allows light to greatly exceed 186K m/s.

If you want to look to the stars for the age of the universe, the plenitude of blue stars is among the glut of problematic phenomena for the OEers. Blue Stars Confirm Recent Creation.

And Jesus didn't believe the Gap Theory, so you might want to abandon the illusion that you've established anything with that glittering jewel of eisegesis.

 

If you count the two world wars, communism and abortion, then yes. It may even exceed the level of violence in the days of Noah.

 

DEFINITELY YOUNG EARTH! There are hundreds if not thousands of REAL scientist that agree. If you believe the bible is God's Word, then one must believe in a young earth. It's like God already knew we would be having this conversation....over and over in Genesis, he's references the next day ....and the evening and the morning were the (third) day. After creating each day he said it was "very good", cancer/death is not very good...it was a perfect world. Also, death did not come into the world until there was sin. How can the fall of man be true then if there were millions of years of death already happening? Might I suggest doing some study in Creation Science, there are many. Many scientists that have confirmed a young earth belief. There's plenty of VERY good arguments against an old earth that include all areas of science....geology, astronomy, biology....etc. Very interesting and exciting at the same time.

 

Water draining away would carry off the loose materioal and leave the Tower. They know that it is new because there is no sign of long-term erosion and the top is close to the same size as the bottom. Only the Flood explains that.
