The Age of the Earth & the Bible

5 posts

Taken from the Is Genesis History? Bible Study these posts explore the relationship between the Age of the Earth and the Bible.

“Isn’t it amazing what a little bit of information from the past can do to help change your view of the present and the present world around you? There are a lot of assumptions made by a lot of people about the history of the earth around us. The question is, how do those assumptions affect how we view that history? But more importantly, how do they play into how we view science and the Bible? Did God create the world in a few days or billions of years? Is mankind descended from apes or did God create us instantly, in His image. Was there a global flood that destroyed the earth or is that a myth? In other words, is Genesis history?” - Del Tackett⠀
“Life is so complex that small changes can’t explain it.” – Dr. Robert Carter⠀
“There are billions of fossils in the earth. Most are from animals that lived in the Ante-Diluvian epoch before the Flood, but some are from the Post-Flood epoch when the world was recovering from the global catastrophe.During the Flood, as huge tidal waves pulsed back and forth over the existing continents, different types of sediment and ecosystems were picked up, carried, then deposited in massive layers on top of each other.⠀
“The world’s greatest Hebraists all affirm that Genesis is a narrative. And they say that’s one of the unique features of the Genesis accounts of Creation and the Flood is that they are narratives, because in the ancient near East they are done in epic poetry, which is very different. And here we have a narrative to indicate that this is historical. What that means is that you should understand the words, the normal way in which the Hebrew was understood. The word “yom” means day. The foundation of its usage is what we mean by a day. It’s a 24-hour day. The only way you’d want it to mean a longer period of time is if you impose an alien concept to the text and say well I think that these are ages and therefore it has to mean aging. What you have to do is start with the text. If we start with the text, ‘yom’ means day.” - Dr. Steven Boyd⠀
