Doesn't the Hebrew word "yom" always mean just a 24 hour day when used with a number like in Genesis?
no.
Doesn't the Hebrew word "yom" always mean just a 24 hour day, when used with the phrase "evening and morning?"
no.
what about the footprints of a man walking with a dinosaur's found in Texas?
The human footprints were faked.
Did NASA find enough moon dust to account for a history of several million years?
yes, NASA found exactly the amount of dust on the moon to account for a history of millions if not billions of years.
At genesis 1:2 "The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was[fn] on the face of the deep" what does the term "without form" mean?
It's talking about the same thing you would notice if you were on a dark foggy road, and you heard a large truck approaching you out of the fog.
You know the truck is real, you know it getting close to you, but as of yet due to the fog the truck is "without form"
You know its real and its there,,,but you cant really describe it in more detail yet
At genesis 1:2 "The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was[fn] on the face of the deep" what does the term"void" mean?
No people.
Its the same context as when you walk into a large hall filled with empty seats.
The room might be empty at that moment, but it is designed to be filled with people.
Its the same concept here with the word "void", where the world lacks people but is designed to be filled with people.
Barring any questions, I will continue tomorrow to help the Bible student deal with many of the most common issues that come up in a Genesis Bible Study, by posting some short easy to understand answers.
This thread has turned into Alan's Personal Journal of Run on Sentences.
What is clear is that no one dares, "dis"agree with me.Quote:
Thats much is very clear.
From what I have seen I have yet to be much impressed with the ability of any believer in the YEC teachings to handle the Scriptures.
No one dares pick up their Bible and try to see if what Im saying is true.
Rather,what I see is the typical response I have seen before, namely that people attack the messenger when they cant stand against the message.
But that is to be expected in that the YEC are not based on the Bible.
On the other hand all that I am now teaching is based on the Bible.
If I say something is in the bible,I will give you chapter and verse to go find it.
I invite people to checkout the Text that I list to see if what iIm saying is truly found there?
When I teach that God made the "Heavens " first, I list the verse that proves this.
When I say that God made the earth as a dry/dead world that was later covered with water, I list the text to support this.
When I say that there is no ending to the 7th day unlike all the other 6 days, I prove this with the text.
When I teach that both humans and animals are from the same source and that this agrees with evolution, I point out this fact with the text of the Bible.
When I say I know why the earth was in "darkness"at the start of the Genesis story even though the sun was already created, I point to the verse that tells us this reason why.
When I point out that at no place in the Genesis story do we read of an anti-evolution argument, I go over the whole Genesis text, verse by verse to show this is true.
over the last few pages of this topic Ihave given short answers to many of the common questions people dealwith when talking about the Genesis -evolution topic,and I can support every answer I give with a verse in the Bible.
And that is why no believer in the YEC lie seems to want to challenge anything I say.
For they know they will lose,
it's finally brought home how out of gas the YEC argument is.
But as for me?...Im just getting started!
I got many, many more things I like to bring up that point out the real weakness in the YEC position,
I also want to dig a bit deeper into the whole approach to the story of Genesis, and how to read it from start to finish, and see how it does in fact, work hand-in-hand with evolution.
Ignore this also. What this whole thing boils down to, not only are we to ask what is it that rises above our opinion pro and con?Quote:

Answer – The word of God
But more importantly, what within the word of God makes all else heel?
Hello? Maybe I should repeat that,
What within the word of God makes all else heel?

Giant Wall of Text that doesn't really say anything.
The YEC position is that God created "light" before he created a source for that light.Quote:
The YEC position is that God created light from the stars "in transit"and that the starlight we see at night never actually had anything to really do with a star...(but was made to look like it was from a star.)
The YEC position is that the 7th day has ended.
Be my guest, and support such positions with only this "Word of God" that you claim so highly....
As you have seen, my position is vastly different.
I teach that God created stars like our own sun first, in harmony with the teachings of modern science that also hold that the stars and the stuff in space were created first in the big bang.
I teach that the light from stars is as it appears to be.
That the universe was not designed as a big fat lie.
That you can trust the universe because the same God made the universe also wrote our Bible...so they both reflect the hand of the Lord.
I teach that you can search from one end of the bible to the other and not find a verse that tells us that the 7th day of the creation week has ended ....yet.
This is just a small sampling of where the things I have taught are in complete disagreement with the teachings of YEC.
Feel free to disagree with me all you want, but unless you can point to chapter and verse to back up your views, I will continue to ignore them as being baseless...
anytime anyone wants to pickup there Bible and back up what they believe about genesis?........
Oh thats right, you can't.......
Just so you know Alan, I'm not trying to be a **** or anything. I just strongly disagree with your stance and I wish you didn't believe in evolution.
I bet they want to though.Quote:
I bet that the minute I popped-off with a bunch of my Bible verses that prove YEC is a lie they actually did grab their Bible and started to look at the verses I listed for a way to prove me wrong.
Only to then find out the awful truth, "Alan is right"
That had to sting......
Quote:
all I see is a lack of people willing to open their Bibles and search the story of Genesis for truth.
all I see is a willingness to only side-step the issues I raise in an effort to change the topic away from what the Bible teaches, and to be more about me as a person.
Well.....I dont play that game.
I dont come here to listen to personal advice.
I dont give a rat's pa-toot about what people wish....
Im only interested in what the Bble teaches in black and white>
I only pay attention to posted comments that are about the topic of Genesis and Evolution....and even then I look for arguments that are based solely on Scripture and I totally disregard people's personal ideas about what Evolution means to them.
I don't give a rip about how much people hate evolution, nor do I give a rip if they have just tons and tons of reasons why they don't believe it evolution....Im not here to teach or defend evolution.
I only care what the Bible says.....end of story.
So if you want me to change my views on Genesis?...fine, then pick up your bible and prove your teachings of YEC are found there.....
But like I said, you wont, cuz you can't.
All that we call the "Young Earth Creationism" is not taken from the Bible, rather its a work of fiction. (most all YEC textbooks and websites are based only on the work of a guy named Henry Morris) ....YEC like the Book of Mormon, is a fiction.
The idea that all the newer books and websites that support the YEC are just a re-hashing of the work of Henry Morris is not my idea.Quote:
I would not know this is true or not.
I had to learn this when I was talking one-on-one with Ken Ham ( world's leading YEC teacher at the time)
What Ken Ham told me was that most all the things we read in YEC books is all based on the work of Morris.
Ken also told me that all the people in the YEC teaching community are just re-working the work of Morris, and that the few new things that people are adding now to the body of YEC teachings found in YEC books, (Things like the moon-dust arguments, and the footprint evidences) are things that later turnout to be not as sure as people thought.
Ken told me personally that the work of Morris is sorta the "Bible" for the Creationists.
my opinions...and the bible verse that supports them!Quote:
I list a verse to support all I teach.
Every last thing i say, I have a verse that clearly teaches.
I can point to the verse...I can list the verse...
So when I say that the first thing the bible says God created in the beginning was "the heavens", is this just my "opinion" ? or can I point to a verse that clearly says this in black and white?...
I think I can point to a verse.
When the YEC teacher says that god created the light of the stars "in transit" is this just his "opinion"?or is there a verse that clearly teaches this?......I think its just his opinion.
I think everyone knows by now that if I list something the Bible teaches,and I dont tag to it a verse, its only because I hope to be challenged to supply it!
Im ready to pounce!
example....
I have noticed over the years that for some reason people take the wrong mental Point of view when they read Genesis.
I believe far too many Bible students have the mental image of a astronaut when they read the events happening in genesis.
They take the mental Point of view of a man in high orbit around the earth.
But the Bible's point of view (POV) is an earthly point of view.
__________________________________________________ __________________
Now I have not given a verse that supports this idea yet,,,,but the reason I have not done that yet is that I hope some guy reads it and thinks that what im talking about does not come from the book of genesis, and so asks me to support my statements with a verse!
and thats when I hit him with Genesis 1 verse 2
When a person reads the story of Genesis, we are not to have the modern mental image in our mind, ..we are not to pretend we are an astronaut on the space station looking down at the earth.
Rather the Bible tells us the mental image we art to take...the point of view we are to ***ume as we read Genesis.
That POV is talked about at genesis 1:2.
The Spirit of God, that is hovering just over the surface of the waters.
This is the view point from where the whole story is told from.
Not from a space man looking down from high orbit, but rather from a position just hovering over the darkened waters of an endless sea.
Now, with this mental POV in our minds to guide us, we see things in a better way as the story unfolds.
When the Bible says "let there be light; we are to now understand that from our POV of hovering over the water, we now can see this "light"..we know when our side of the earth spins away from the sun's light as we see it get dark from where we are hovering....
so in other words....the Bible point of view that the reader of the Genesis story is to have is an earthly one.
We are not to have the POV of someone in deep space looking down.
The Bible's POV is that of the Spirit of God who is said to be hovering over the waters.
So we are-not looking down, rather we are in the middle...the sky above, the sea below, the land appearing..The darkness all around us,,,then the light appears.
and as our position on the earth turns to and away from the sun we see the difference in the light that we see...
at first all we can tell is when its day and night ,but later (say by day 4)we can now see that even at night there appears a lesser light...
Then as the clouds talked about in *** 38 have totally cleared we can finally make out even the dim lights of the stars...
as there are no more questions for me to deal with, I would like to now return to setting down short answers to common questions that come up.
Many YEC believers dont like Evolution because they say its all up to "chance"in evolution. What are the facts regarding chance?
First I would say that there is really no such thing as "chance" found in evolution.
Things always follow the rules of probability.
Be that as it may, there are many things in science that remain "unknown"as of right now.
But this should not cause the Christian too much concern, for we have in our Bible a story that helps us understand how "chance" fits into our lives....and how its to be understood.
Walls of text with no substance. Just nonsense spamming .
That's the best you got eh?
What, , this is some kind of a game to you? Some sort of a contest to win you have inwardly concocted?
While you’re busy with filler, you apparently overlooked that this thread has received a lot of sacred duress (serious commentary).
Okay then SPORT – where is my answer?
Where does ANY of your references in Genesis supersede mine in the epistles?????
Come’n, don’t give me that blank stare, , OUT WITH IT!
I’ve already provided mine, remember?
Link
So with all this stubborn resistance to either hear or comment on mine, surely there is something to overwhelm that post out of Genesis.
But in a different direction, I don’t wish to follow you there, but to follow Christ in everything He gave us to use. But this is not gametime, the thread is ripe of warning against this evil doctrine which you distance yourself from, saying they are “opinions”. Look, that outlook is only hurting you my friend. The applications are alive and straight from the the text to oppose this.
But you haven't thought the warning necessary. I believe God sought your heart on this, whether it would harden or listen. The prospects you left against these warnings don't look favorable for you, but disastrous as though it was witchcraft. just as the word describes it "witchcraft".
When the notice went up to “repent”, it was only to spare you of what lies ahead. But it is useless if you refuse us to the end. All the promotional tricks in the world won’t be able to recapture it once the last breath is drawn and we stand to give Him an account of our acts. Then you do get your wish, but unfortunately by then it’s – game over.
Therefore, based on this,
I would like to confer with the poster Disciple here and the good contributor Jude 1:3 and suggest the beginnings of retiring this thread, as the first and second warnings are long past and as for myself, don’t wish to send a wrong message with the above in mind.Quote:
“If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing more to do with them” (***us 3:10)
If we feel new threads related to this need to resumed, then I trust that is what the Lord has laid on your heart to encounter.
First and second? For our part, I think the gesture is quite adequate. Mercy and recognition needs to meet somewhere.Quote:
“For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God” (Romans 8:14)
Mike.
I dont understand much of your posts , Im beginning to think that English is like your 2nd language or something?Quote:

anyway, I have posted a bunch of things on the topic of Genesis and Evolution,,,I have always provided a Bible verse to support all things...
But if you have read anything I have posted and want me to take a 2nd look at it?
Or if you have a question about a verse and how it is understood, just let me know and I will be happy to address such issues.
Appreciate your response, really, thanks.
You didn’t, it was I who introduced that. And no, I’m not suggesting the removal of any text.
If you applied what I said in #128, you would know the context of “supersede” as I used it.
That use of mine suggested in the epistles is actually rising up against your suggestions of evolution in Genesis. But not mine alone as I’m sure you know. It is our hope that you have contemplated those points as much as we have yours.
The whole spirit of “supersede” as I used it reaches in and covers the very reception of the word of God from cover-to-cover, but not just reception, but to guard what inspiration from the text comes forth. If we are trying to be deep and sensitive to the text, then that inspiration won’t ever be in conflict with my notation,
And should always be found applying it where the word of God says to apply it,Quote:
“We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,” (II Cor 10:5)
Then we know every time we pick up and open His word, we won’t have reason to allow our thoughts to supersede,Quote:
“All scripture” (II Timothy 3:16)
1. All scriptures
2. Knowledge of God
3. Obedience of Christ
Its like random words.....strung in a line....
Thats what It seems like to read your posts.
I did catch you referred to post number #128....but that was your post ( and that post again I simply dont understand) not mine, so Im still not sure where I said that a verse that is talking about Genesis in the New Testament is related to our topic here?...
as far as I can guess, any verses in the New Testament talking about Genesis would be dealing with the whole "He made them male and female" issue, and I dont have any problems with that verse.....
And as far asI can remember, that is about the only time Jesus or the Saints addressed the Genesis Creation story....so .
[U]Now the idea itself that one verse in the Bible is more important than another is a valid concept.
I have said before that while all the Bible is inspired, its not all equally relevant in every situation.
[/U]
That actually came up once in Bible School I attended, where a student answered a question by saying that - "The Bible will answer all our questions"
I disagreed with that, and said that my view is that the Bible only "Answers the questions it felt important to answer, not every question we can ask of it"
Now in the study of Genesis there are many Bible verses that are very relevant, there are also many verses that are not relevant.
My aim is to try to stay on track, to address Bible text that are relevant to understanding what the Bible is teaching about how God created this earth.
I dont quote much in the way of non-Bible sources, so dont blame me if you dont like to deal with this Bible issue.
The study of Genesis in connection to science is a very valid study, and its going on in the church all the time.
It's also a question that is of great concern for younger students....
Im also student of the Bible and I can tell you first-hand , that this topic is one of the things that occupy shelf after shelf in any christian book store.
I doubt you can walk into any Christian book store in this country and not find a "Creation/evolution section"
Now, if you dont think Christians should even study evolution?...thats your deal.
Im not here to show you how much importance to put on the different issues that Christians need to be ready to have an answer for.
Im just reminded personally, that I need to be ready "always" to give to anyone that asks, the reason for my faith.
And my faith is in the bible...and i share what I have learned.
And I also believe that what we do when we study Genesis is to build on the work Gd gave Adam to do.
most people only remember that Adam tended the garden...and while thats true, God actually did give Adam a higher work to do.
For God created the animals and brought them to Adam to see what Adam would name them.
This makes Adam the first scientist!
For Adam was involved in the study of the world.
To this day , and in many, many ways, the study of this world started by Adam continues.
So the study of the universe, the study of God's word in Genesis, the study of how they are connected, is a work given man by God himself.
Nothing of what I teach about the Genesis /evolution connections is taken from non-Bible sources, and as I didnt write the bible, I am only pointing out what God felt was important enough for us to have written down for us to study.
God felt this stuff was important...
Not me,,,,God did.....or rather - God does!
So Im not the one to blame if you don't like what I point out the Bible teaches.
For like I said, the bible does not answer every question we can ask, but it does answer the questions God felt were important enough to be answered.
Im just quoting God's answer.
Do I believe that the Lord's quoting the story of the creation of Adam and Eve are relevant in our discussion of Evolution?
No.
Not much anyway...
I believe that the times when we read out Lord quote Genesis, he is talking mostly about marriage.
So we cant just twist his words into thinking that Jesus was taking also a position, for or against evolution.
I do believe you can use the Lord's use of the creation of Adam and Eve to support some other arguments...like for example the fact that it was a male and female that are married.
or that Adam only was given ONE wife.
But that's about it for what i think is the correct use of the words of Christ that were in his context clearly aimed at the question of divorce.
I would be totally wrong to try to use the words of Christ on divorce as a way to attack things like Macro-evolution, or the age of the earth, etc,
Typical Evolution cult prop and protection, brought to you the reader by this customary evasion. Notice the subtle cover from my last points made.Quote:

Everything else, a demonic leap of doom. Superficial Christianity is no Christianity at all. Seen here by averting the points all. Reader beware.
Supporters, if there are any, don’t dare walk in the light of exposure as the Son won’t be mocked by avoiding His will. Those who choose to try have a price to pay. The cost? Denying that will > a devilish an***hesis.
Mike, is less than impressed.
Out.
Well I'm glad to see I covered all that you were asking about.
I did try to address any of the concerns that I think you were pointing to.
let me know if you still had a question about something I have writen or about our topic of how to view the Genesis/evolution subject.
If anyone else has another point that I have made that they would like me to to have a 2nd look at?
Or anything connected with our topic here on how a Christians should look at the story of Genesis?...just let me know .
Otherwise, tonight I will return to writing about the common questions that come up when you are involved in the story of God's Word and the teachings of Evolution.
So the "creation Days" are to be understood to be talking about a very long time?
yes.
There is no ending to the 7th day at all in the Scriptures.
Did God create the earth before the sun and moon?
No....
