When god said to Adam if you eat the fruit in that day you will surely die, Adam and eve both ate but they didn't die physicly but spiritually. So from that context it looks like god is talking about spiritual death not physical. So if that is the case life could of existed for a very long time before god made Adam and eve and there still wouldn't be a contradiction between faith and science.

Guest shiloh357 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Science is not at odds with the Bible.  Scientists with an atheistic worldview who demand that science must be limited to an atheistic paradigm are at odds with the Bible and they interpret the evidence within that paradigm. They have put an artificial or imaginary wedge between science and the Bible. Unfortunately, to many Christians, who fear man more than God, have chosen to believe scientists and their claims over what the Bible claims.

The creation was redeemed at the cross, and awaits re-glorification upon His return. I've wondered whether "subjected to futility", above, refers to entropy. Imagine a world without it, if you can!

I believe science supports creationism more than evolution.  As for the trees, these so-called "older" trees are a bit further up the slope than the younger ones. In their elevated position, the weather and the soil is less susceptible to good growth conditions. Did you ever wonder why trees do the absolute best (oldest trees on earth) in the absolute worst conditions?  Yet trees a bit further down the slope in healthier conditions die off earlier??  The higher trees are completely starved of precipitation between each rain/snowfall and the soil on the higher slopes of the White mountains has particularly low ability to maintain moisture. ie the Bristlecone Pine trees in the White Mountains that show the most growth rings are in extreme conditions when growth completely stops between each precipitation and they therefore demonstrate multiple rings per year. This is so obvious yet as usual scientist refuse to adjust their earlier date estimates, clinging desperately onto their illogical logic that deprived trees would survive the longest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the earth was cursed because of Adam's sin, what happen to the earth when Lucifer sinned? He did rule on earth, in which he said "I will ascend above the clouds" You can not ascend above the clouds unless you are first under the clouds.
