Nothing
is worse than Christians who place time limits
on God by insisting the earth is only 6000 years
old when the Bible does not give the exact age
of the earth or creation. This thinking comes
from people who insist they can do God’s
thinking for Him. Of course these asinine
Christians are of the same Christians who once
believed slavery was okay because slavery is in
the Bible—where a slave was an indentured
servant or mistreated Israelites.
We
have Christians hog-tying God and anti-creation,
anti-God godless who think nothing creates
anything and that’s science!
The
latest creation
versus science debate
brought out two idiots who think they know more
than God.
Creationist
Ken Ham, the Christian world’s leading moron
when it comes to explaining creation, because
Ham limits God and His creation of the earth to
only 6000 years, and the Global Warming/Climate
Change junk scientist Bill Nye the Science Guy
who limits mankind to monkeys and swamp matter.
Both men need to shut up and get an education
and learn how to read the Bible if they are
going to argue creation and Genesis.
Understanding
the Bible means spending our entire lives
studying the Bible and still never fully knowing
the answers to everything we are reading.
When
reading the Bible we need to understand Moses
and the Apostles did not speak or write in
English: Moses wrote in Hebrew and the Apostles
wrote in ancient Greek. Jesus spoke ancient
Aramaic. The Western World translated the
scrolls into English and European languages
where Hebrew and Greek words have completely
different meanings.
As
to the 6000 years: DNA testing traces human 6000
years to two parents. Adam and Eve's ages would
be recorded after the garden,
after the fall, not inside the garden
where they may have lived thousands, perhaps a
million years before they gave into temptation
and caused the fall of man and were tossed out
of the garden.
We
will never find the Garden to test the actual
age of man since God barred man for the
garden.
But
this is the problem with many Christians who
love to limit God by placing our minds inside of
God’s infinite all-knowing mind we cannot know
because, “For who
among men knows the thoughts of a man except the
spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the
thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit
of God (1 2:11 Corinthians),” and “Who
has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been
his counselor? (Romans 11:34)?”
Understanding
God is impossible. We will never fully
comprehend Him, even when we are with Him,
because we will never be God: “Oh, the depth of
the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths
beyond tracing out (Romans 11:33)!”
Genesis
tells us God created the heavens and earth and
on the seventh day He rested. How long is seven
days to God? Nowhere in Genesis does it say a
day for God ads up to 24 hours our time, but
scholars have been debating this question for
centuries. Some insist seven creation days are
24 hour days, while others believe creation days
are time periods.
Maybe
we should stop making up God’s mind for Him,
unless we think God is as little as
us.
We
humans are not gods, though we think we are, and
we do not know the mind of God even though we
constantly assume we do by placing time limits
on God: “Do you listen in on God’s council? Do
you have a monopoly on wisdom? (Job 15:8),” and
“The secret
things belong to the LORD our God, but the
things revealed belong to us and to our sons
forever, that we may observe all the words of
this law (Deuteronomy
29:29).”
Trying
to do God’s thinking for Him is pretty cheeky,
even for us Christians who are supposed to know
better than to one-up God.
How
long is a day to God? He never told us, but we
are given unlimited opportunity to search and
study God and the earth, we have been given a
book of God and His creation that contains world
history to study all the days of our lives,
constantly discovering new things about our
history, why we are the way we are, and God’s
endless love that gave His life for
us.
In
the Bible we read of God forming and shaping the
physical earth, God creating every type of
plant, vegetation, grass and we read of all of
this growing: “And the earth brought forth
grass, the herb that yields according to
its kind, and the tree that yields fruit,
whose seed is in itself according to its
kind. And God saw that it was good (Gen. 1:12).”
How long did all of this grow before God gave
the earth light for day and moon and star light
for night? How long before he created sea and
earth creatures? How long was this day? We are
not told the hourly time span of God’s days.
We
humans have a terrible habit of placing time
limits on God. When we do this we are shaping
God’s destiny for Him, as the Gap Theorists do
when they insist a catastrophic event happened
(Lucifer’s rebellion and war with Michael the
Arc Angel throwing him and a third of heaven
out) and God had to start over. That says God
cannot control his own destiny, He’s too weak,
He’s like us and if at first He does not
succeed, He must try, try again.
Again,
we are trying to control God with our limited
power. Oh boy we of little faith!
Others
say if it rained 40 days and 40 nights, and
Jesus was in the grave three days before He rose
from the dead, then 6000 years is the exact time
for the earth’s age. But the flood occurred
after the Garden’s perfection, after man
rebelled and was living in a limited life on
earth.
When
Adam and Eve lived in the garden they lived
under perfection and eternal life on earth. When
they listened to Satan, they rebelled and
eternity on earth stopped and decay began within
us and the earth. Death began; our time became
limited on earth.
God
caused that flood to happen in our limited time
span, not in perfection’s unlimited
time.
Jesus’
burial was also in our limited earthly time
span, not perfection or Christ would not have
had to come to die and resurrect so we could
have eternal life in heaven after we die of our
limited life here on earth.
If
Christ was in an unlimited burial, He might
still be in the grave and we would have
destroyed everything by now.
Again:
We are looking at God’s creation and God from
our limited mindset. God is bigger than us and
everything He does is far more powerful and His
time is limitless. If it wasn’t, the earth would
have rotted away by now like old cloths in a
closet.
Creation
is not our time span, it is God’s.
