Isaac Vail and Canopy Theory of 1874

The Bible is not demonic. But it is in the plan of Satan to throw people into impossible puzzles and endless disputes over trivial matters that divert attention away from truly important issues. Everyone has their own diversion.

After doing more research I have determined that the young earth theories are possible. But the canopy theory is not likely. However, because I debated with you in this thread, I realized that the debate over the book of Genesis is a bottomless pit.

The further you get into it the deeper it gets. But thank you for the opportunity to learn.

 

It seems to be that both the old and young earth theories are equally filled with voids. I would say that both are equally plausible from a scientific standpoint.

 

I wrote "from a scientific standpoint". Both theories have some credibility, although both are so riddle with problems that there very well could be some third solution that has not yet been discovered. I don't think the Bible is a literal scientific explanation. And it doesn't have to be. The story of creation tells of things much more important than the creation of the physical Universe.

However the Universe actually came to be, it doesn't affect people now. In ancient times, atheists agreed that there were doors in the dome of the sky, and that rain fell when they opened, but they claimed the doors opened by themselves; that God had nothing to do with it.

God is more concerned with ones lack of faith than any scientific explanation of nature one subscribes to.

I guess since it doesn't matter to God whether people believe the Universe is 6,000 years old or 15 billion years old, everyone can just pick the version they like. That assumes of course that everyone accepts Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, repents from sin, and observes biblical principles in the way they live their lives.

 

Thanks for posting that link. I've been searching for something like that for years. I bookmarked it. Maybe the holy Bible will turn out to be literally true after all!
