We..."Creationists" do believe in the literal translation of the Bible....but where does anyone get 10,000 yrs?...it is stated... it..the earth,...heaven, and all in it, and under it were made in 6 days....and the 7th God rested.Now here is where I know many Bible believeing people are getting confused and many evolutionists but I believe they are both right.If God moves at, at least the speed of light, then according to Einstein this is where time stands still, hence Eternity with God is possible dwelling in that light....so if ya think about it a "Day" to God in making the Heavens in one day...The Earth in another....etc etc...what is a million...a billion or whatever when "Time" has almost no meaning whatsoever?....It is said the beasts of the field and there kind etc etc all came about. For this to have taken Billions of yrs makes perfect sense and would prove
Both...the natural evolution of the Earth and my belief is that when it was rdy on the 6th day..God made men...and then breathed a soul into him...and deposited him on the new creation...and in the first days or yrs or whatever...screwed up.So according to the Bible men lived into the 900's and since evil released into the world now will be good to make it to 60.I believe if no "Fall" occured there would have been no reason for the body to die.
Death is the thing that was not meant to be and is the last enemy...not Satan to be defeated according to Christian doctorine.
So some will say ...Iceman does not believe in what the Bible says. ..All made in 7 days...yes I do, but I ask you and any one else...What is a day to a being "God" who lives forever....maybe a billion yrs is only a breath of the lung.
This is why Evolutionsists keep looking to the "Big Bang"...the Big Bang was God saying let the waters divide the waters.
Genesis 1
[1] In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
[2] And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
[3] And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
[4] And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
[5] And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
Guess it back to the ole "Interpretation" thing again...same with the scientists too lol.
