To call it a reproduction is to limit God to natural laws...which He is clearly not. 4.5 billion year old earth, created 6000 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not all the tools we have point to an old earth? Why? It is not that God was in a hurry to get things over and done with. With God there is no time, so no need to rush.

Not that He let them develop naturally over 4 billion years? Was He lying to us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what was this light that God made in day 1 ?? And where does it determine in the original Hebrew that each day was a 24 hour day? My goodness thankyou somebody for that edit button.

No I read scripture and derive understanding and knowledge from scripture - not mediaeval RCC doctrines. The word in Hebrew has very wide applications over many verses of scripture. 3117 [e] yō·wm י֥וֹם day N‑ms Strongs -H3117 age, always, continually, daily, birth, each, today, From an unused root meaning to be hot; a day (as the warm hours), whether literal (from sunrise to sunset, or from one sunset to the next), or figurative (a space of time defined by an associated term), (often used adverb) -- age, + always, + chronicals, continually(-ance), daily, ((birth-), each, to) day, (now a, two) days (agone), + elder, X end, + evening, + (for) ever(-lasting, -more), X full, life, as (so) long as (...
