First, I want you to know that I do know in whom I have believed, and I know that Jesus IS the only Son of God, and is part of the Trinity. And I DON’T believe in even the possibility of evolution no matter how old the earth is! HOWEVER! There is a tremendous amount of evidence that the earth is NOT just 6000 years old.
Archeologists have stated that The world’s first city, Uruk, in modern-day Iraq, dates back seven thousand years.
They have also said that The town of Jericho, in Palestine, has traces of habitation going back to around 6800 BC.
It is very hard to pin this down but besides those examples, China claims that it has 5000 yrs of written Chinese history!
Primarily though, there is the existence of the petrified bones of dinosaurs but there has never been any human remains found with any dinosaur bones. Why is that important?
Because New Earth believers believe that man and dinosaurs lived at the same time because God, a perfect eyewitness to history, said that He created man and land animals on Day 6. Dinosaurs are land animals, so logically they were created on Day 6. That means that man and dinosaurs lived together and it also means that they would have been on the Ark.
I agree that God did create the universe with the appearance of great age to fool the foolish. HOWEVER, if I am also to believe that God is NOT a liar, then I CANNOT believe God created evidence like the bones of animals which clearly never existed alongside man without becoming a liar in the process. There just HAS to be some other way of interpreting the Bible when it comes to the age of the earth.
What do you think is the answer to this and then why do you say that?
