So you can't SUPPORT your claims.

 

1.  How do you know that??  Do you have Special Mind Powers that I'm unaware of... that you can discern what will/will not change my mind?

2.  I'm admonished to: 

(1 Thessalonians 5:21) "Prove all things; hold fast that which is good."

So SUPPORT your Claim...?  

It's not a difficult concept to understand.

 

I can find many different things 'online'...it doesn't make them TRUE.

And it's NOT "MY" Job to SUPPORT "YOUR" Claims!! 

 

Translation: I can't SUPPORT my Claims.

 

regards

Yes I can support my claims. I've done the research myself. The point you keep missing here is that it's as waste of time. You've already made up your mind so believe whatever you want.

Why?

We're gonna see.

How many, why: One more or less well know person is Hugh Ross. Look him up on YouTube. I do not like some of the things he has to say, in particular the things he says about animals - that is cruel and goes in contradiction with: the very last verse of Jonah, Proverbs 12:10 and other Scriptures. Back to the subject: I just typed "Hugh Ross old earth" and "old earth vs new earth creationism" into the YouTube search. A lot of interesting videos came up.

 

Post the Scriptures: 1) 2 Peter 3:8. That's one I could think of right now. Here the issue is addressed directly. 2) There are many Scriptures that could indicate in general that when we think that something has to be interpreted literally it turns out that the meaning was symbolic. One example i could think of at the moment is Malachi 4:5-6 combined with Mathew 17:10-13.

Here is something we should remember: young or old earth, literally or symbolically, we must always remember that The Bible is true! We should never let any justification of doubt to enter our hearts. We should diligently study the Scriptures every day. We should study the world around us in order to advance our spiritual growth. In fact, whatever we do in general should be done for the only purpose of worship and spiritual growth. Never doubt! Remember Deuteronomy 13 - pay special attention to the first 4 verses of the chapter, as well as examine it as a whole.

This is a Simile (Rhetorical Device).  This Passage is speaking to God's "Timelessness"; it has nothing to do with the Age of the Earth.

Ok, Do you wish to speak to something here?

What I wanted to say about Deuteronomy 13:1-4 was that we should treat the ideas of atheism and all similar things, evolution etc, the same way as words of false prophets and dreams of false dreamers mentioned in these verses.

Atheism and evolution make a lot more sense than the young earth theory. At least they have science on their side regarding an old earth. The only part they have wrong is intelligent design.

About the age of the Earth:

The point I was trying to make is that whatever the age of the Earth is, we should never doubt The Bible! Therefore, either the verses that talk about days of creation are symbolic and the Earth is old and The Bible is true, or those verses are literal and the Earth is young and The Bible is true! in either case The Bible is true! we shouldn't let the doubt in our hearts ever! the age of the Earth could be looked at as a puzzle to solve, a test of faith, but never as a reason to doubt! we should never doubt!

Something i wanted to say in addition: the reason i started posting is because i have done a lot of thinking and realized some things. i mean the things i started writing about, about disproving the evolution as we know it or disproving the possibility of non organic matter turning into living cells on its own. i want to add that it was not my intention to insult or confront anyone of you, brothers and sisters. what i want to do is what Matthew 25:27 says, that is my intention. i would like to start more threads about the topic soon. i just need some time to think and word them properly.

1.  a. 'evolution' What's that...?? Define evolution...?

b. Post the Scientific Theory of evolution...?

c. Post just TWO Formal Scientific Hypotheses then Experiments that concretized it into a REAL Scientific Theory...?

d. Post the Null Hypotheses that were Rejected/Falsified for each...?

e. Highlight The Independent Variables used in Each TEST...?

 

2.  Atheism:

It's Blind/Deaf/Willfully Dumb and "Scientifically Falsified" 'Religion: (Philosophical Naturalism/Realism, aka: atheism).

Religion: 'Belief without Evidence'.

Realism: "the viewpoint which accords to things which are known or perceived an existence or nature which is independent of whether anyone is thinking about or perceiving them." https://www.britannica.com/topic/realism-philosophy

They have some *BIG* Problems. Namely, being in DIRECT CONTRADICTION to literally Thousands of Experiments ("Science") Without Exception!! ...

"The doctrine that the world is made up of objects whose existence is independent of human consciousness *[Philosophical Naturalism/Realism -- aka: atheism] turns out to be IN CONFLICT with QUANTUM MECHANICS and with facts established BY EXPERIMENT."

Bernard d'Espagnat (Particle Physicist): The Quantum Theory and Reality; Scientific American, 1979, p. 151. https://www.scientificamerican.com/media/pdf/197911_0158.pdf

 

That is: "Matter" (Our Reality) doesn't exist without, FIRST: A "Knower"/Existence of the "Which-Path" Information.

In other words, "Matter"/Light is derivative (The Consequent), Information/Knowledge is Primary (Necessary Antecedent). According to Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Max Born, described by Erwin Schrodinger, THEN... Validated Repeatedly via Thousands of "EXPERIMENTS" without Exception for the past 100 years with the most successful branch of Physics in the History of "Actual" Science, Quantum Mechanics... :

Independent of the KNOWLEDGE of the "Which-Path Information" -- or of it EXISTING... particles (Photons, All Elementary Particles, Atoms, Molecules) have no defined properties or location. They exist in a state of "A Wave Function" which is a series of Potentialities rather than actual objects. That is, "Matter" doesn't exist as a Wave of Energy prior to knowledge but as a Wave of Potentialities. Wave "Functions" aren't "WAVES"(Classical Peak/Troughs) they are "Potentialities" i.e., Probabilities, they have no Mass/Energy. To put it another way, the "Wave" of a Wave Function is not a "Wave" in "Physical Space", it's merely an abstract mathematical construct.

Every double-slit experiment, 2) Every delayed choice experiment, 3) Every quantum eraser experiment, 4) Every experiment that combines any of 1,2,3 show exactly the same results - if the 'Which-Path' Information is known or can be known - No Interference (Matter Existing); Conversely, if the 'which-path' Information is not known and can't ever be known, there is Interference (No Matter). Experiments: Which one of the Thousands (Without Exception !!) would you like??

 

Let's make it quick... To overturn the Scientific Falsification of "Locality" and by direct proxy -- Philosophical Naturalism/Realism (atheism); whereby invalidating Idealism "Christianity" (which is not a "religion", btw) and as an ancillary benefit collect yourself a 'Feather in your Cap' Nobel Prize...

Please take up the Quantum Randi Challenge (arXiv:1207.5294, 23 July 2012) https://arxiv.org/abs/1207.5294 http://www.science20.com/alpha_meme/official_quantum_randi_challenge-80168 .... ( "The Quantum Randi Challenge, hence forth QRC, challenges any pseudo-scientist *[ YOU, as it were ]* who claims that quantum physics is not true and that quantum entanglement experiments can be explained by a classically realistic and locally causal model." https://arxiv.org/vc/arxiv/papers/1207/1207.5294v1.pdf

A Nobel Prize AND $1,000,000(USD) is being offered: All you have to do is... Prove Naive Realism or Local Realism is True and not Observation Dependent.

4 Years + and still no takers, I wonder why?

Alice in Wonderland has more veracity and is more tenable than atheism.

Crocheting has more "Science" than: evolution, atheism, an old earth... COMBINED !!!

young earth theory

It's not a 'theory'.

"Scientific Theories": "Explain" --- The How/WHY (mechanisms/process) and Identify The CAUSE; e.g., Germ Theory.  Scientific Theories are the Result of Validated/Confirmed Scientific Hypotheses that have been rigorously TESTED.

Young Earth (or Old Earth) is in the "What/Is" Genre.

Moreover, Any 5th Grade General Science Graduate knows Prima Facia, that ALL "Dating Methods" are outside the Purview of The Scientific Method, for goodness sakes.

You have NO....: "Independent Variable", so as to Form a Valid Scientific Hypothesis to TEST then VALIDATE your PREDICTION. Ahhh... "SCIENCE" !

1. Ya See, "Independent Variables" are the "Input" (The Cause) that is CHANGED -- "Manipulated/Varied by the scientist" so as to measure/validate the "Output" (The Effect) "Dependent Variables"--- Predictions.
2. "Independent Variables" are sine qua non (indispensable, as it were) to Scientific Hypothesis construction, then Ipso Facto Experiments!!  So can you please elaborate: 

How on Earth can you CHANGE the "INPUT" and TEST your Prediction on a Past Event without a Time Machine, Pray Tell....?

You're in a simple Category Error. The Scientific Method is used to Validate "Cause and Effect" Relationships...it's Non Sequitur (Fallacy) to use it to Extrapolate "Age"....of ANYTHING !!

It's tantamount to using a Framing Square to calculate the GNP of the Netherlands.  :rolleyes:

This is an article on deep core tests of the earth proving that our planet is very old: http://www.reasons.org/articles/deep-core-tests-for-the-age-of-the-earth

Really??

a. Pull then post the Formal Scientific Hypothesis from your 'link' here then the Experiment that validates your claim...?

b. Highlight the Independent Variable...?

c. Post The Null Hypothesis that was Rejected/Falsified...?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
