What's the point of these one-liner posts exactly? I think it's important to point out, that the earth being 4.5 billion years old does not mitigate, in the least, the proposition that God created it all. Either way He did. Nothing is removed from God's omnipotence or glory or sovereignty by thinking that things are older rather than younger. What's a billion years to God?

the absurdity and the non acceptable is that since there neither was nor is millions of years and then to say God created millions of years ago is to make an idiot of God and it doesn't just stop there either but invariably leads on to not accepting that in an instant out of nothing on each of 6 x 24hr days God created everything perfect = no evolution necessary or possible - so in the end it does matter - not only that but we just cannot have a Sabbath or a rest after 6 or more thousands or millions of years of labour - wincam

I still don't' see why any of this is of such dire consequence. In the end God is all powerful, He could have created everything completely out of no time at all, or He could have taken a trillion years. Neither way is relevant to God's power over the situation. Either way the creative acts of God are represented in the Genesis creation account, which sets it out in 6 day intervals. It's not necessary to see them 24 hr days in order to understand them as nevertheless ordering sabbath days.

Imo, there are So many bad assumptions being made here, I wouldn't know where to start.

of course we cannot here consider what He could have or should but what He did and said He did - wincam

The Truth

 

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever. Psalms 119:160

 

Will Out

 

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. Isaiah 42:8

Beloved, The Fact That God States Otherwise

 

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

 

Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

 

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. Exodus 20:8-11

 

Does Not In The Least Mitigate The Fact That Men Weren't There

 

Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

 

Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

 

Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him? Job 40:5-9

 

Nor Did They Observe His Creation Acts

 

Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding? Isaiah 29:16

 

Nor Did They Measure It

 

He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion. Jeremiah 10:12

 

Nor Will They Ever Reproduce It

 

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. Job 33:4

 

And Yet Most Men Will Not Recant And Repent Of Their Proposition

 

Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands? Isaiah 45:9

 

You

 

For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. Romans 3:3-4

 

See

 

He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

 

He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:10-12

why assumptions, were you there - wincam

Why do you put God in a box? God has been around since who knows when past. To make Earth a recent phenomena is so restricting. Remember, he is the alpha and omega.

Who is putting God in a box???   God said He created the earth in six literal 24 hour days and there is no  way around what the Bible says.  That is not putting God in a box.  It amounts to taking God at His word and believing what He says.

 

You can believe that the world is 4.5 billion years old OR you can believe God when He says that he created the earth in six days.
