I'm a little worried about dinosaurs

1 Corinthians 15:45 says that Adam is the first man. There were no humans before Adam. There is no place for the Gap Theory, or any other similar theory of life before the six-day creation account in Genesis. Those theories are sorry attempts to mix Christianity with Evolution.

If God says it, I believe it, and that settles it!!!

Gap-theory:

There is no room for this scripturally.

I have read about Gap theory before, and I really don't like it. You can't put a huge gap of time between the first and second lines in genesis. The second line states that the world was dark and without form. This has to be a fallacy. There are fossil records to show there was lush tropical jungles, and an abundance of animal life.

There are fossils but there are no records that aren’t theory. Here is another theory for you. What if the Lord created fossils in the ground so that those who wanted to be lost in worshiping the creation instead of the Creator would have all that they need?

1Co 2

14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

1Co 2

10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

1Co 2

9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

Here is an interesting article that talks about a theory of gravity and time distortion!

How Can We See Distant Stars In A Young Universe?

Well, clearly what we know of physics and time required for things to happen would mean that God would have accelerated things in order to create the universe in six days, right? That would include the light from the stars.

Does anyone think that maybe satan puts false "evidence" and false information out there for the "scientists" to discover? Information that is intended to confuse and demean what God has told us in His word?

Just a random thought.

Perhaps the universe, as we can see it now, is much older than the earth, as it is in form now?

Sorry, I'm afraid not...

Gen 14 Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; 15 and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so. 16 Then 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 God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light on 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 So the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

Stars were made on day 4, so they too would have to be about 6000 years old, so the fact that, If light is constant, by proxy of the time it would take to travel from such great distances (millions of years) the existance of such stars would seem contrary to my standpoint that the Earth IS roughly 6000 years old. However I'm personally comforted by the fact that God does far greater and mysterious things than I could imagine.

Its also worth noting that there is no reference to how long Adam and Eve were in Eden before the fall.....was it days, weeks, months?....maybe even thousands, millions of years? Does it sound preposterous that they were around for millions of years?........really?.........doesn't sound so preposterous to an evolutionist when you say the same of dinosaurs......

The Bible clearly tells of the age of Adam and many others. That would lead us back to the when they were in the Garden of Eden.

Genesis 5:3-5, "And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth: And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

Satan was able to create fossils?

[nebula]

How scientists interpret the evidence is one thing . . .

But I seriously have a problem with this "false fossil" stuff.

I agree with Nebula concerning the idea that satan put the fossils in the earth to try and deceive us! The devil's power is extremely limited. Besides, the fossil evidence supports creation by God almighty, and a young Earth. There is no contradiction with the Bible, and the concept of a young Earth, and dinosaurs and humans living together.

The fossils are clear evidence of a world-wide catastrophic flood!

It would not be a lie if you know the truth. God is able to create a mature earth complete with fossils. It is only theory how fossils are created no man was here to see it happen.
