The first emphasis this blog will focus on is the doubts people have toward creation and how we came to be. Everyone from time to time has wondered if The Creation account can be accurate with scientific "discoveries" of evolution. There has even been an emphasis to add an evolutionist view with the creation account; that is to say that God created the beginning substances and allowed evolution to form the rest. I've got one word to describe this view...RIDICULOUS! actually there are other words but...I am Christian! I will be posting articles and thoughts on how biblical creation is the correct view and how creation actually explains scientific phenomenons!
7 DAYS??? OR 7 AGES???
Much from this article is from the Answers Book by Ham,Sarfati, and Wieland.
a reason why God did not create the world in geologic ages is that sin entered the world at the fall. This means that the evolutionist view of diseases killing off weaker species, bloodshed, killings, etc happened before The Fall. If this is true then the whole message of the Bible is undermined and worth nothing.
The whole idea of a "day" meaning millions of years only came about since Darwin's time and when science was threatening the biblical view. Christianity started making the Bible fit with Evolution. The Hebrew word for day here in Genesis is yom and there are different meanings for it in the context of Scripture. However, every time in the O.T. (Old Testament) that yom is with a number..."sixth day" it means a literal 24 hour period. Just like in Exodus 31:15-17, God lays out the foundation of a 7 day\24hour a day week.
"For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested."
posts to come....Debates on literal day translation and why it even matters!
