What kind of God would have used evolution over billions of years

[JDavis]

 

The Holy Bible is quite clear.

 

 

 

and those that argued for a fixed earth said the very same thing.

 

 

 

God spoke the following words once and wrote it twice with His own finger into stone. Six days is six days. At the time this was spoken and written (circa 1500 BC) that is 24 hour days. If it weren’t six 24-hour days God would have lied or deceived the Israelites.

 

At the time it was written the word 'yom" had multiple meanings, you cannot put yourself in the mind of those who first read this, so all you doing is make an assumption to support your own point of view.  we are back to your circular reasoning.

 

Plus you are doing the very thing that you have told others they could not do, make assumptions about those to whom this was first written.

Never for 6 days. The Bible is in English. Never for 6 numbered days. Never for days with evening and morning.

Never for 6 days. The Bible is in English. Never for 6 numbered days. Never for days with evening and morning.

 

 

You may not know this, but when the Bible was written, it was not written in English, in fact the English language did not even exist yet.

Do you realize that no matter how many times you repeat something, that will not make it true?

Do you?

 

How about the flood?

 

Did only 8 people survive in the ark?

 

Was it a worldwide flood which covered the whole Earth?

 

Were there pairs of animals on the ark?

[JDavis]

Exodus 20:11

For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

 

 

God gave man a pattern for the perfect work week.  God gave us the same pattern for using the land, 6 years of work, 1 year of rest for the land.

 

This dose not prove that the days were 24 hours anymore than a verse about God stretching out His hand proves he has a physical hand like ours.

 

Does the Feast of the Tabernacle being 8 days long prove Moses and the Israelites wandered in the desert for 8 days?

 

God does not interact with time as we do, does God really have a start and end to His days?  Do you limit God to our experiences?

Genesis 1:1-31

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

10 And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

15 And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

17 And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth,

18 And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

19 And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

21 And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

22 And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

23 And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

 

 

Evening and Morning in the way you are using them require a sun, why was there an evening and morning the first 4 days?

 

Evening and Morning in the way you are using them require a specific point of reference, as it is both Evening and Morning on the earth at the same time.  What is this point of reference?

 

There is nothing in these verses that mandates a 24 hour day.  This is your view, nothing else.

False reasoning. You are reasoning in circles.

Jesus Christ said:

 

Mark 10:6

But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.

 

The Big Bang theory has people created after about 12 billion years. The Holy Bible has it as only in day 6.

 

 

Yep, Adam and Eve were the first humans.  This verse speaks of nothing else.  It has nothing to do with creation or the time it took.

Luke 11:50-51

50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;

51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.

 

That would hardly match 12 billion years later.

 

 

This has nothing to do with a time frame for creation.  you are trying too hard now.
