Yes, you can! No verse in the Bible that causes you to accept a young earth as the only answer. The Bible does not say, "Thou shalt believe in an earth." Young; The fact is, no verse in the Bible makes any claims as to the age of the earth. All assumptions verses of the young authors brought to earth can be interpreted by the reader to mean old or young. Also, the dominant doctrines of the Bible are not affected by any interpretation. Many young believers on earth will demand that you can not believe in an old earth and be a Christian . The reasons for this belief vary, but there are several overlapping principles underneath this discussion. Death, disease before Sin.The Bible teaches that death is the penalty for sin. Young Earth author takes a step further than the Bible teaches adding his own belief that there was no physical death before sin. However, when Adam and Eve sinned, death was introduced spiritual, not physical death. Does this belief is due to a wrong interpretation of they misinterpreted this fact Bible.Why dominant? Let 's look at the key verses. of Genesis 1:29 - 31 "And God said, Behold, I have given you every seed bearing herb, which is upon the face the whole earth and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, to you shall be for meat. 30And to every beast of the earth, and every fowl of the air, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. 31And God saw every thing he had done, and, behold, he was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. "Of the Roman 5:12?; Wherefore, as by one man sin entered the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned." Yes, Adam introduced death. However, he did not introduce physical spiritual death? of death only. Consider these key points: 1. God said that creation was "very good" (1:31 GEN). youngest Demand authors of the earth he can 't be "very good" if it contained disease and death. may not realize that God created thrive, renewing ecosystem. Death and regeneration are crucial to the operation of God' s creation. If it were not self -renewing, not last very long, and then God 's creation would not be made "very good." 2. The Bible says that God gave green plants all the animals to eat. The young authors of the earth claim that because the animals ate the grass, there was no death due to carnivore activity. two points. First, the Bible does not say "animal, can not the" eat meat ... it says only that were given the herb to eat. Second, this was the condition of the garden of Eden, which was different from the world outside the garden. Within the garden there was perfection and peace, but outside was different.3. Spiders are wonderful creatures. They spin their silk to trap their victims before eating. How could they survive in a world of pre-death? Are your fabrics have been used to catch the falling leaves? No, they could just simply go on a tree, or ground, feasting on leaves. The spiders were created with only a diet in mind ... a dead insect. Also, is why some spiders were created with the poison? What is the purpose of this poison? They didn 't need to poison the leaves, or whatever else they were supposed to eat in the garden. And, could not be for self defense, since there were no predators in the garden? In fact, the same thing goes for the poisonous snakes. The poison has only one purpose ... to kill. Even the poisons consumed are disabling for the same thing in the end, because once you incapacitate the creature it. The only logical conclusion is that God created the poison to kill. The poison does not respond to any purpose in a quiet, friendly garden without death. If God created the poison, as the young earth model, after its creation was not perfect, as the poison did not work no purpose.4. Obviously, these steps mean spiritual death, not physical. Here's a simple logical answer HS ... when Adam ate the forbidden fruit, he came into spiritual death ... he did not die physically when he bit the fruit. We know this because he had children with Eve after he ate the fruit. Adam brought physical death but spiritual death (see blue box above). In fact, if you read Satan 's dialogue with Eve, then you will see plain as day response. He told Eve that she would not die, but was well informed. Satan knew he would be introducing spiritual death into the world. How was Satan to prevent people from following God ... did not finish killing her physically your spiritual relationship with God. Introducing spiritual death, Satan knew he could avoid people love God.5. The young authors of the earth demand that sin and suffering entered the world after the fall of man. They claim that the disease is a result of sin. However, do what disease? It is disease caused by viruses, bacteria, etc.. Do these organisms existed before the fall of man? If you listen to the young authors of the earth, could not have existed before the fall. However, they had to. To imply that occurred as a result of the fall of man, is to imply that God created after Adam sinned. But since God is in his seventh day of rest, and the creature is already 100% complete, he could not create them after the fall. They had to be created sometime during the six days of creation. Here is conclusive evidence that bacteria existed before the fall. How do we know this? Because Adam and Eve were normal human beings and as human beings, required the help of bacteria for the breakdown of food in the human digestive tract. Now, as you read this, millions of cells are bacteria in your colon, analyzing their food waste. (Perhaps the authors argue that young-earth bacteria and viruses that we have become today of this original source of the bacteria. Here the answer would be) .6 interesting. The rock record, through its fossils, indicates that death existed for millions of years. For the young earth model, all layers of the fossil-bearing rock should be placed after the fall of man. The mechanism is pointing to the flood of Noah. However, the flooding has been shown to be a scientist impossible. Fund if the flood ... can 't do, then there must have been physical death before sin. ¿There is absolutely no reason to believe is not healthy there was death before the fall of Man.What is time? The other main obstacle to the objections of the earth is young time. Here we examine two concepts: first is God and time, and second, a weak God.Nowhere the Bible teaches that the earth is young. The Bible does not say "the earth is 6,000 years. Of" Ni says "the earth is 4.5 billion years. Of" The fact is, the Bible makes no claims as to the age of the earth. We interpret the age of the earth science and Bible.Young earther 's make a defense of "days" of creation is literal 24 hour days. The truth is, there is no demand in the Bible that indicates the length of days. The "day" as we know it didn 't even start until the fourth day of creation, when the sun and moon were created (according to interpretations of the young-earth). Does saying that I have like to use is? if you are god and you are in outer space, a million miles away from any star or planet, then how do you mark the passage of time? For God does not sleep, you, you do not need rest, so time has no meaning. ? when we get to heaven, spend eternity there. Will we have clocks in heaven? Wow, is another million years! He won 't matter to us, just like she doesn ¿t matter of God's infinite finite limit God.Should man twenty-four hour day? Is finite man has imposed its interpretation of "the word day" on infinite God. Well, our rules of the time don 't apply to be infinite, eternal. Just look at the creation. God rested on the seventh day. In fact, he is still resting and we are still on the seventh day! If this day has lasted for over 6,000 years, then who are we to impose limits to the other days of creation? The use of day word is just so that man can have some kind of framework for understanding the creation, and does not involve 24-hour days. The Bible says in II Peter 3:8 of the? of? that one day is with Mr. as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. god? not see time the same way we do! To him, a second could be a million years. Therefore, no matter what the interpretation is the original Hebrew the day of? of the word? that god does not apply to infinity. The early church fathers, including Justin Martyr, believed the days of creation were a thousand years long. The literal days were not even considered until the fourth century, and became an important theologic edition until the nineteenth century. One more point to ponder. creationists Old-earth say the earth is 4.5 billion years. Was God here 4.5 billion years ago? Obviously, the answer must be yes. Think about it. Our second important concept concerning God time is weak. One of the claims by creationists of the young-earth theory is that the old-earth mitigates or weakens, energies of gods, in effect saying that if God could not create the earth in six days, then he should not be as powerful as God omnipotent Young Earth believer. Here again, simple logic will prevail. He does 'matter how long the period of creation, God' of t, s power is beyond comprehension, beyond anyone else 's capabilities, and he remains omnipotent no matter how long creation took. I would say that? all powerful God could have created the world in six seconds. Why did it take? of six days he must be weak. Him? this is obviously true. To test this, she
