We keep wasting time trying to figure God out, as if to prove something but, God can't be figured out. It's best just to love and enjoy Him. His Wisdom and His ways are sooo far beyond out own and, I thank Heaven for that! #stayinawe #stayamazed
Book of John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
@JstnHrrs81 how about read the Bible before commenting. "[1:1] In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, [1:2] the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. [1:3] Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light." Says right there: earth was a formless void, there was nothing there. Then God created light.
@@ChefKirb how about love your neighbor as yourself. How about love and pray for those who persecute our faith before commenting some hateful and disgusting shit. You dumbass. How about that?
““For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." Book of Dune. “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. It is founded on our thoughts; it is made up of our thoughts. If a person speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows them like the wheel that follows the foot of the ox.” Dhammapada 1, vv1 -2 Yes, yes, we can all quote passages from books. So what? Your quote does not prove the existence of a god, any more than my first passage proves that a spice planet called Arrakis exists. Theists just love to quote passages from the bible.. They mean nothing other than being food for thought.
"In the beginning GOD created" is the most important of all the word combined. The most important law or commandment. GOD is the complete center and boss of ALL!!!!
AMEN 🙌 How do WE Honor and Love Our Creator..? By Keeping The Commandments☝️ Especially The 4th.. IT is THE SEAL Between Jesus and Mankind , The Sabbath is a Blessing from The Creator to ALL Creation..
Likewise. I now believe the universe and earth are old, having passed through multiple eras of creation (bacterium geoforming, megafauna, dinosaurs etc), the previous one being sealed with a global flood that left the world thou and bohu. The six days are six literal 24hr days of restoration for the Adamic era, six to twelve thousand years ago.

@@dannygolightly865 when you realise that you and I won't always be around on this Earth to exchange this conversation and to have similar conversations such as these, I pray you are humbled enough to find peace through Christ Jesus
We don't need to know more than that He loves us and He send His Beloved Son to Earth for us ! Read your Bible asking God for wisdom and clarity guidance and help in every situation every day 🙏
God hates his enemies. God does not "love" everyone in the sense that he loves his children. John Lennox is unfortunately wrong on this as we read in Mark 4 that only the saved are given the spiritual ears to hear and eyes to listen. Thus, the Bible offers the exact age of the Earth and when the end will occur.
@@Colijgamingthe word “thus” means “because the previous statement is true the following statement follows as true”. What you stated was a non-sequester as it had nothing to do with the Bible’s statements on the age of the earth… if anything it refuted your statement unless you think that John Lennox isn’t a Christian’s… mark 4 is talking about the parables not all scriptures, which you would know if you consulted the spirit in understanding the interpretation of that scripture😂 irony
A lot of believers are insecure about anything science says contradicting scripture, and they'll throw out good data and observations we actually make about the universe to protect the scripture. Scripture doesn't need defending, and science does not contradict scripture. 👍🏼
@@edanderson8087You mean follow man's interpretation of biological and geological evidence? "Science" means knowledge, not a theory about what happened in the past when no-one was there... oh wait, we have ONE eye-witness account from Genesis 1. You can investigate that, the Judeo-Christian God does something none of the other"gods" do, He gives us the green light to check Him out, and He won't force us to believe if we refuse (I don't recommend that approach). If you say the age of fossils is based on the known age of the rocks they are in, which the age of the rocks in turn is based on the age of the fossils, that's circular reasoning, not knowledge. If you want to use the precise science of the decay of unstable parent atoms into daughter atoms, the same rock will give wildly different ages depending which method in many cases. Modern attempts to compensate for errors and inconsistencies still leaves out the unmentioned fact - there is no way to know the precise ratio of parent to daughter atoms when the fossil was created, nor is there a way to know what other factors could have contaminated the sample or accelerated the decay, nor is there a good explanation for why nearby igneous rock that was laid down in the recent past (say, 10 years or so) shows ages ranging from hundreds of thousands of years to millions of years depending on the dating method. We are told there is no scientific dispute on the age of the earth and fossils, but such discrepancies in age measurements is seldom publicly discussed... because it raises too many questions?
Science changes by the minute. God's word is forever. Science is produced by fallible man. The Bible is the word of the infallible God. I always start with God's word and see how everything fits into it. I do not allow fallible man's fallible science to dictate the meaning of God's infallible word.
@@bogusphone8000 Sure, the way creationists interpret Genesis literally, claiming that the earth could only be 6,000 years old. In doing that they ignore so many findings of ancient structures that are dated to be 14,000 years old and older, presenting clear knowledge of building and a society that existed before known civilization. Also concerning the age of the universe, they ignore the laws of physics in that we know what the speed of light is, and we can observe the edge of the universe, being roughly 14 billion years old.
If He's the end to come then how is He eternal?. Think of a spiral. One thing he gave us to understand the eternal is the family.. he is our father. And Gods eternity is one eternal round. Don't think to hard. That's mans understanding. Pray and ask Him to show you by the power of the Holy Ghost. It's how you know that he is. And it is how you will come to understand him.
@@wendie8290 I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about concerning "don't think too hard" and "that's man's understanding" in response to what he said but here's Revelation 22:13 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the [end], the first and the last."
It's not for us to pick God apart to find out how He works......He IS the creator of ALL that is and ever will be and His ways are FAR above and beyond our understanding. It is ONLY for us to Believe, Trust, Obey and Love Him with all out heart, soul, mind and strength. He knows exactly what He is doing with ALL He has made WAY better than we could ever figure out. He made EVERYTHING by His Will, His Spirit, His Word ALL for His Pleasure, to His Glory. Have FAITH IN GOD!!!
Yes....He Created ALL things perfect in the beginning FOR HIS pleasure, to His Glory. But, NO.....He takes NO PLEASURE in all our pain, suffering, torture, agony and death. The CAUSE of all these things is a result of Adam and Eve's disobedience to God bringing sin into the world resulting in death. Romans 6:23 which reads, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”. 2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance".
@@haitaelpastor976you've forgotten one factor: freewill. Human suffering is not inflicted by God. We chose to commit and keep choosing to commit wrong acts upon wrong acts that result in the suffering of all creation... Yet God, in His infinite mercy, took it upon Himself to restore all creation to Himself by offering up His only-begotten Son as propitiation for all of humanity's wrongdoings, to restore all creation to Himself. Why give humans freewill? Because God does not have any desire for robots, whose affection, adoration nd obedience are borne out of automation, and are, therefore, untrue and fake. We all know that nothing fake can withstand the Presence of Him who is all-knowing, all-wise, and all-Truth.
How do you get to know someone? By knowing them more. The more you learn about someone the more affectionate you become especially if it's your significant other. Yes God is above our understanding, but that shouldn't stop us from knowing him because knowing him is what brings out our love towards him more and more.
Lol who's "picking God apart"? I'm happy ppl are actually curious about the things of God and His word, rather than being consumed by the things of this world.

We know today for a fact that our planet and universe is much older. Our universe is expanding and galaxies are moving away from each other. Stars are still being born and others die out. This doesn’t mean that our God isn’t real.
@@hahmed6209it is not a meaningless statement. Allow me to clarify it foryou. There are two ways to use tenses: chronological and ordinal. Because time does not yet exist, we use the ordinal sense to say that God existed before time. "Before the beginning (time), God was." Once God made time we can use both the ordinal and the chronological senses to say that God existed before everything else, continues to exist, and will exist beyond the point at which all of creation, including time, passes away.
I also agree with the gap theory for all the evidence points to this conclusion, George Pember wrote an amazing book on the subject entitled, Earth's Earliest Ages Which is free online to read if interested.
If death came through Adam as the bible teaches then before Adam there is no death, so the belief in evolution would be a contradiction to the creation story.
Death came to MEN through Adam, not to all flesh. Death was always part of creation. Outside of the garden, earth was wild and God told us to subdue it. The word "created" in Exodus can be rendered as "renovated/renewed" - it doesn't mean created ex-nihilo. There is a gap.
It’s so beautiful to hear these words explained out of Hebrew, every word has sort of multiple meanings. To me it says again it’s the Living Word of God!!❤
I do not necessarily disagree with the replies. My main point, which I was not clear on, was my appreciation that he pointed out the Bible does not give a definitive time line. There are so many videos lately of people arguing the earth is about 6000 years old, which is completely absurd.
@@antichrist_revealed that is the first time I have seen someone say it is 12,000 years old. How did you come to that conclusion? Everyone else I know of says about 6,000 years.

There was no moon and sun in the first day, you will have to wait till the fourth day sorry... you cannot calculate 24 hour period of time or morning and night without the sun and the moon. "Erev" and "Boker" must be interpreted differently at least in the first 3 days

To the people who say we don’t need to understand anything. I personally think that’s wrong. Jesus wants us to help save others and how can we do that if we can’t show them anything? Even 1 Peter 3:15 says to always be prepared to make a defense to anyone who questions your hope in god
Not exactly. There is no record of how long they were in the garden or how old Adam was when eve was created. We do know that when sin first occurred it started the count down for humanity. Hence the reason we die. For the wages of sin is death.

@pat34lee No gravity? Your statement is scientifically impossible. If the planet existed in some form, gravity existed. Water covered the planet. Gravity. The creation story isn't so much about how God created everything but about God bringing order and purpose to his creation through him alone. Remember, no part of the creation story is meant to be scientific because that's just not how the author and original audience thought about things.
He's not talking about whether its 6 literal days........He's saying the first sentence of Genesis is an indefinite period, then the 6 literal days begin. :)

There is time difference between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:3. I discovered this many years ago, and today I see it as common sense. It deep help my spiritual journey
The time gap between 1:1 & 1:3 is not relevant to us, because it has no bearing on what happens from verse 3 onward. Besides, everything men test today to try to determine “the age of the earth” is peri- or post-Flood in origin.
Exodus 20:11 AMPC [11] For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it [set it apart for His purposes].
👎I love Lennox and he gets most things right, but he's demonstrably wrong on the age of the Universe. The genealogy in the Bible was calculated by Bishop Usher to be around 4000 years to the birth of Jesus Christ. The genealogies gives names and lengths of time. Jesus places Adam and Eve at the beginning of Creation: Mark 10:6 KJV - But from the BEGINNING OF THE CREATION God made them male and female. If man was made 13.7 billion years after Genesis 1:1 - that would not be from the beginning of creation and contridicts Mark 10:6. Quoting some compromised scholar(s) who are all taught to reject the Genesis account of Creation and many reject the few chapters of Genesis as history, because they are bewitched to think God used evolution, does not make Lennox's theological argument any stronger.
Here is my humble opinion on this. Scientists state that something cateclismic probably happened to the earth between when the dinosaurs were here, and now because there is no records of fossils being found for a huge span of years. If you read the account in Genesis, it speaks of "an earth without form or shape" BEFORE it gets into the narrative of our present earth. This seems to explain a lot, that there may have been a previous earth structure, and then it was destroyed (probably something cateclismic happened i.e., possibly meteor, this possibly explaining "the earth was witbout form or shape" , and then a new earth structure formed (presemt earth). "In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth- and the earth was without form or shape, with darkness over the abyss and a mighty wind sweeping over the waters-Then God said: Let there be light, and there was light....[my note: then the complete description goes on]
Respectfully, your take here is embarrassing… And I’m saying this as a Christian. I can tell that you have had ZERO training on Biblical exegesis. Are you really taking Mark 10:6 to mean that God created Adam and Eve at the BEGINNING of creation (like the very first thing created)?? Even though it is written that they were created on the 6th day… after 5 other days of creating other things??? If you believe this then your understanding of Mark 10:6 contradicts almost the entire creation story in Genesis. You tell me, what was created at the beginning of creation- male and female… or the heavens and the earth? You’ve gotta humble yourself. And while you’re at it (humbling yourself), go back and reread the context of Mark 10, specifically verses 1-12. Jesus isn’t referencing the creation to talk about the creation and timelines within it. He is referencing an event within the creation to make a point about MARRIAGE [utilizing first principles analysis] with the Pharisees!
@@sophistrydebunkerwe disagree because not one of us is God. And not one of us has a perfect understanding of what He has told us in the Bible. God gave us free will to believe what we can figure out just as he gave you free will to figure out what you have figured out. Every one of us is wrong about something. He also gave us the free will to choose between accepting Him and not accepting Him. But the latter has dire consequences which I pray you will research because you're not going to like them.
However, elsewhere in scripture we read things like, "For in 6 days he created the heavens the earth and all that is in them." Sounds like the universe is just as old as the earth to me. And since we can use biblical geneologies and their ages, we can get pretty close to the age of the earth. You're welcome.
The moon was created on the 4th day, meaning the first three days could not have been literal since the moon separates day and night. You thought you understood the meaning of "day" but Peter said it's like a thousand years.

We can observe the moon in a geostationary orbit, if the earth was similarly locked with the sun, a day could be millions of years. On Mercury the planet orbits the sun faster than it rotates on its axis. People don't think laterally and you both are proof of that.
You can grow plants without the sun, you just need light. If God can make the sun and the universe, he can make light. Builders can build a house before they install the wiring, they bring temporary lights with them.
@@DG-mv6zw wow. When did I say I accepted that in my original comment? Can you actually read? I also don’t know which ‘scientific theses’ you’ve been reading, but I personally have not conversed with any self-respecting scientists who make that claim, or have read any such theses. You realise that post-Newtonian science actually disagrees with the ‘scientific thesis’ that you posit, right?
@@jamesmaybury7452 you can do so on our planet because we orbit a star within the Goldilocks zone of our solar system (where temperature is neither too hot nor too cold for carbon based life to emerge). You forget, it is not just light that is needed for photosynthesis, but a specific temperature as well. All life on Earth has developed in accordance with the temperature of the sun’s heat. That means that if you deprived a plant of sunlight and made your own light for it to grow, you’re still depending upon the heat of the air you’re using to grow the plant. NO life can exist without a sun. Do you actually have any idea how cold a planet with no sun near it would be? You talk about this like it is so trivial, that of course a supernatural sentient being who is spaceless and timeless yet can interact with space and time decided to make the Earth in seven days. You are familiar with Ockham’s razor, yes? Do you earnestly believe that your proposal is the most likely, let alone at all empirically evident? My friend, you are succumbing to an outrageous form of confirmation bias. Scientifically speaking, your theory doesn’t even merit hearing out. Besides, the verse claims that ‘day and night’ are created before the sun, when we know that they are the product of the Earth’s rotation upon its axis relative to the Sun. Is it not more likely that this verse is the product of human minds observing their reality long before they understood its basic principles? The whole of Genesis is blatantly composed without any regard towards the laws of physics because, guess what, people hadn’t a clue about them at the time of its composition. There is absolutely no shame at all in admitting that you do not understand and have answers for every natural phenomenon. But that doesn’t mean that Humanity does not have the knowledge that you don’t, or that if we have found a phenomenon no one understands, that we’ll never come closer to understanding it. You need to acquaint yourself properly with the scientific method. It involves a reasonable hypothesis, which then must undergo rigorous proof via experimentation and observation, before being declared a theory which is in accordance with observable reality. Science is DESCRIPTIVE, not prescriptive. If it’s a prescription of the universe you want, then you ask too much. It is arrogant and lazy to force a conclusion before irrefutable data to support it. There is no evidence for any deity’s existence.
Exactly. Another thing that has baffled man alot is failing to fit God into time or a time scope. This confuses those that are trying to look for answers.
There's also the fact that the word "day" isn't always used for 24 hour periods. In fact, Genesis even fits the whole creation in a single day. Sometimes a day refers to a year. The Bible also says that "a day, for God, is like a thousand years". A day is just a word to talk about a period of time.
Also, Numbers 7:10 uses the same word "beyom" from Ge 2:4 "in the day...", marking a summarization of events (over 12 days) as opposed to a literal day.

God was clear with his word. A day to god is 1000 years to us. But I guess that's if he decides to enter time and the metaphysical realms. If that is so, then we are still living within a week to God , 7000 years to us. That's amazing!

What we know is that through Adam, sin entered the world. We also know the years of the genealogies from Adam to Jesus. Furthermore, we know that trees and grass were created before the sun was put in the sky. I don’t think trees would live for long without sunlight. All these things point to a “short” period of time. Perhaps Adam and Eve walked with God for a long period of time before the Fall. Scripture doesn’t tell us that, but from Adam’s death to Christ is given very clearly. God gives us His Word to instruct us in all things. He gave us the people and years of generations for a reason. Science and scripture are compatible even when we don’t understand yet how.
Look, mr snarkey, he's just reading the Bible, and accepting what God hath laid down for our edification, exhortation, and comfort. I also read it, and was impressed exactly as he.

A lot of believers are insecure about anything science says contradicting scripture, and they'll throw out good data and observations we actually make about the universe to protect the scripture. Scripture doesn't need defending, and science does not contradict scripture. 👍🏼
"Follow the science" ... 😩Not !
@@edanderson8087You mean follow man's interpretation of biological and geological evidence? "Science" means knowledge, not a theory about what happened in the past when no-one was there... oh wait, we have ONE eye-witness account from Genesis 1. You can investigate that, the Judeo-Christian God does something none of the other"gods" do, He gives us the green light to check Him out, and He won't force us to believe if we refuse (I don't recommend that approach). If you say the age of fossils is based on the known age of the rocks they are in, which the age of the rocks in turn is based on the age of the fossils, that's circular reasoning, not knowledge. If you want to use the precise science of the decay of unstable parent atoms into daughter atoms, the same rock will give wildly different ages depending which method in many cases. Modern attempts to compensate for errors and inconsistencies still leaves out the unmentioned fact - there is no way to know the precise ratio of parent to daughter atoms when the fossil was created, nor is there a way to know what other factors could have contaminated the sample or accelerated the decay, nor is there a good explanation for why nearby igneous rock that was laid down in the recent past (say, 10 years or so) shows ages ranging from hundreds of thousands of years to millions of years depending on the dating method. We are told there is no scientific dispute on the age of the earth and fossils, but such discrepancies in age measurements is seldom publicly discussed... because it raises too many questions?
Science changes by the minute. God's word is forever. Science is produced by fallible man. The Bible is the word of the infallible God. I always start with God's word and see how everything fits into it. I do not allow fallible man's fallible science to dictate the meaning of God's infallible word.
Do you have an example?
@@bogusphone8000 Sure, the way creationists interpret Genesis literally, claiming that the earth could only be 6,000 years old. In doing that they ignore so many findings of ancient structures that are dated to be 14,000 years old and older, presenting clear knowledge of building and a society that existed before known civilization. Also concerning the age of the universe, they ignore the laws of physics in that we know what the speed of light is, and we can observe the edge of the universe, being roughly 14 billion years old.

crazy talk. educate yourself.
It's not for us to pick God apart to find out how He works......He IS the creator of ALL that is and ever will be and His ways are FAR above and beyond our understanding. It is ONLY for us to Believe, Trust, Obey and Love Him with all out heart, soul, mind and strength.
He knows exactly what He is doing with ALL He has made WAY better than we could ever figure out.
He made EVERYTHING by His Will, His Spirit, His Word ALL for His Pleasure, to His Glory.
Have FAITH IN GOD!!!
Yes....He Created ALL things perfect in the beginning FOR HIS pleasure, to His Glory.
But, NO.....He takes NO PLEASURE in all our pain, suffering, torture, agony and death. The CAUSE of all these things is a result of Adam and Eve's disobedience to God bringing sin into the world resulting in death.
Romans 6:23
which reads, “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”.
2 Peter 3:9
"The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance".
@@haitaelpastor976you've forgotten one factor: freewill.
Human suffering is not inflicted by God. We chose to commit and keep choosing to commit wrong acts upon wrong acts that result in the suffering of all creation... Yet God, in His infinite mercy, took it upon Himself to restore all creation to Himself by offering up His only-begotten Son as propitiation for all of humanity's wrongdoings, to restore all creation to Himself.
Why give humans freewill?
Because God does not have any desire for robots, whose affection, adoration nd obedience are borne out of automation, and are, therefore, untrue and fake. We all know that nothing fake can withstand the Presence of Him who is all-knowing, all-wise, and all-Truth.
He created all the child rapists roaming around as we speak
How do you get to know someone? By knowing them more. The more you learn about someone the more affectionate you become especially if it's your significant other.

Once God made time we can use both the ordinal and the chronological senses to say that God existed before everything else, continues to exist, and will exist beyond the point at which all of creation, including time, passes away.

@@MinnesotaCouchpotato if a word salad gives you some kind of meaning, good for you. But there is no evidence for the beginning of time.
@@hahmed6209@hahmed6209 there is no evidence for the beginning of time.?! How would you prove that?.
❤ yes.. I've been studying this too and it looks like there's a definite pause... ❤
I also agree with the gap theory for all the evidence points to this conclusion,
George Pember wrote an amazing book on the subject entitled,
Earth's Earliest Ages
Which is free online to read if interested.
There is no gap. It reads right into the other next verses.
In 6 days God created the Heavens and the earth 🌎 and all that is in them! 1.Time 2.space 3. Matter = universe no gap theory 💯
If death came through Adam as the bible teaches then before Adam there is no death, so the belief in evolution would be a contradiction to the creation story.
Death came to MEN through Adam, not to all flesh. Death was always part of creation. Outside of the garden, earth was wild and God told us to subdue it.
The word "created" in Exodus can be rendered as "renovated/renewed" - it doesn't mean created ex-nihilo.
There is a gap.
Great insights. Thank you for sharing.

I do not necessarily disagree with the replies. My main point, which I was not clear on, was my appreciation that he pointed out the Bible does not give a definitive time line. There are so many videos lately of people arguing the earth is about 6000 years old, which is completely absurd.

6000 years is just when Adam and Eve lived the garde.
4.119 before our time-3.189 before our time.
Not exactly. There is no record of how long they were in the garden or how old Adam was when eve was created. We do know that when sin first occurred it started the count down for humanity. Hence the reason we die. For the wages of sin is death.
@@BarryBaker-bx2qe No. We do not know, if he LOOKED like 18 and she like 14 or 20 or 30. That is right. Sadly we know not the age of any woman in the Bible, except Ssāraī/Ssārāh.

@@ThomasFuchs7 you aren't sure of anything. Hahahaha. Those numbers you're claiming as factual are based on you're own understanding which is false. As no record shows how long they were in the garden or how long Adam lived before eve was created. Or how long they lived until they fell into sin.
You can't honestly place a number on anyone of those things. Because the Bible doesn't say anything of the sort.
But you're entitled to your opinion. Im not going to argue with you. But putting a number there means you're changing scripture because you don't know. No one does. One of the many mysteries

Water covered the planet. Gravity.
The creation story isn't so much about how God created everything but about God bringing order and purpose to his creation through him alone.
Remember, no part of the creation story is meant to be scientific because that's just not how the author and original audience thought about things.

Get a hold of yourselves:
"For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth..."- Exodus 31:17
So it's 6 literal days.
The focus of this short is not the days, but the period of time before those 6 days.
No need to insult your brothers and sisters in Christ.
He's not talking about whether its 6 literal days........He's saying the first sentence of Genesis is an indefinite period, then the 6 literal days begin. :)
Don't be offended. God has revealed many things through the Bible, including the creation of the world in 6 literal days. There is no time gap. Don't be in awe and blinded by false teachings.

There is time difference between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:3.
I discovered this many years ago, and today I see it as common sense. It deep help my spiritual journey
The time gap between 1:1 & 1:3 is not relevant to us, because it has no bearing on what happens from verse 3 onward. Besides, everything men test today to try to determine “the age of the earth” is peri- or post-Flood in origin.
Exodus 20:11 AMPC
[11] For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. That is why the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it [set it apart for His purposes].
👎I love Lennox and he gets most things right, but he's demonstrably wrong on the age of the Universe. The genealogy in the Bible was calculated by Bishop Usher to be around 4000 years to the birth of Jesus Christ. The genealogies gives names and lengths of time.
Jesus places Adam and Eve at the beginning of Creation: Mark 10:6 KJV - But from the BEGINNING OF THE CREATION God made them male and female. If man was made 13.7 billion years after Genesis 1:1 - that would not be from the beginning of creation and contridicts Mark 10:6.
Quoting some compromised scholar(s) who are all taught to reject the Genesis account of Creation and many reject the few chapters of Genesis as history, because they are bewitched to think God used evolution, does not make Lennox's theological argument any stronger.
Here is my humble opinion on this. Scientists state that something cateclismic probably happened to the earth between when the dinosaurs were here, and now because there is no records of fossils being found for a huge span of years. If you read the account in Genesis, it speaks of "an earth without form or shape" BEFORE it gets into the narrative of our present earth. This seems to explain a lot, that there may have been a previous earth structure, and then it was destroyed (probably something cateclismic happened i.e., possibly meteor, this possibly explaining "the earth was witbout form or shape" , and then a new earth structure formed (presemt earth).
"In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth- and the earth was without form or shape, with darkness over the abyss and a mighty wind sweeping over the waters-Then God said: Let there be light, and there was light....[my note: then the complete description goes on]
Respectfully, your take here is embarrassing… And I’m saying this as a Christian. I can tell that you have had ZERO training on Biblical exegesis. Are you really taking Mark 10:6 to mean that God created Adam and Eve at the BEGINNING of creation (like the very first thing created)?? Even though it is written that they were created on the 6th day… after 5 other days of creating other things??? If you believe this then your understanding of Mark 10:6 contradicts almost the entire creation story in Genesis. You tell me, what was created at the beginning of creation- male and female… or the heavens and the earth? You’ve gotta humble yourself.
And while you’re at it (humbling yourself), go back and reread the context of Mark 10, specifically verses 1-12. Jesus isn’t referencing the creation to talk about the creation and timelines within it. He is referencing an event within the creation to make a point about MARRIAGE [utilizing first principles analysis] with the Pharisees!
I love it when y'all disagree....

@@sophistrydebunkerwe disagree because not one of us is God. And not one of us has a perfect understanding of what He has told us in the Bible.

He also gave us the free will to choose between accepting Him and not accepting Him. But the latter has dire consequences which I pray you will research because you're not going to like them.
Always splendid
However, elsewhere in scripture we read things like, "For in 6 days he created the heavens the earth and all that is in them."
Sounds like the universe is just as old as the earth to me. And since we can use biblical geneologies and their ages, we can get pretty close to the age of the earth.

My point is, there is nothing to support or contradict that a day may not have been the same as today.

On Mercury the planet orbits the sun faster than it rotates on its axis. People don't think laterally and you both are proof of that.

Recuerda que el sol puede ser artificial y las plantas no necesariamente ocupan el sol lo que ocupan es una frecuencia similar
You can grow plants without the sun, you just need light. If God can make the sun and the universe, he can make light. Builders can build a house before they install the wiring, they bring temporary lights with them.
But you will gladly accept the scientific thesis that everything came from nothing!
@@DG-mv6zw wow. When did I say I accepted that in my original comment? Can you actually read? I also don’t know which ‘scientific theses’ you’ve been reading, but I personally have not conversed with any self-respecting scientists who make that claim, or have read any such theses. You realise that post-Newtonian science actually disagrees with the ‘scientific thesis’ that you posit, right?
@@jamesmaybury7452 you can do so on our planet because we orbit a star within the Goldilocks zone of our solar system (where temperature is neither too hot nor too cold for carbon based life to emerge). You forget, it is not just light that is needed for photosynthesis, but a specific temperature as well. All life on Earth has developed in accordance with the temperature of the sun’s heat. That means that if you deprived a plant of sunlight and made your own light for it to grow, you’re still depending upon the heat of the air you’re using to grow the plant.
NO life can exist without a sun. Do you actually have any idea how cold a planet with no sun near it would be? You talk about this like it is so trivial, that of course a supernatural sentient being who is spaceless and timeless yet can interact with space and time decided to make the Earth in seven days. You are familiar with Ockham’s razor, yes? Do you earnestly believe that your proposal is the most likely, let alone at all empirically evident? My friend, you are succumbing to an outrageous form of confirmation bias. Scientifically speaking, your theory doesn’t even merit hearing out.
Besides, the verse claims that ‘day and night’ are created before the sun, when we know that they are the product of the Earth’s rotation upon its axis relative to the Sun. Is it not more likely that this verse is the product of human minds observing their reality long before they understood its basic principles? The whole of Genesis is blatantly composed without any regard towards the laws of physics because, guess what, people hadn’t a clue about them at the time of its composition.
There is absolutely no shame at all in admitting that you do not understand and have answers for every natural phenomenon. But that doesn’t mean that Humanity does not have the knowledge that you don’t, or that if we have found a phenomenon no one understands, that we’ll never come closer to understanding it. You need to acquaint yourself properly with the scientific method. It involves a reasonable hypothesis, which then must undergo rigorous proof via experimentation and observation, before being declared a theory which is in accordance with observable reality. Science is DESCRIPTIVE, not prescriptive. If it’s a prescription of the universe you want, then you ask too much. It is arrogant and lazy to force a conclusion before irrefutable data to support it. There is no evidence for any deity’s existence.

There's also the fact that the word "day" isn't always used for 24 hour periods. In fact, Genesis even fits the whole creation in a single day. Sometimes a day refers to a year. The Bible also says that "a day, for God, is like a thousand years". A day is just a word to talk about a period of time.
Also, Numbers 7:10 uses the same word "beyom" from Ge 2:4 "in the day...", marking a summarization of events (over 12 days) as opposed to a literal day.
@@JamesMoore-uq5oiyom is also used in scripture for the 24hr day, so that makes it inconclusive.

A good way to understand that is from John and the original Greek
“In beginning” rather than “in the beginning”, the - creates a specification in time
I also believe this very same thing
What we know is that through Adam, sin entered the world. We also know the years of the genealogies from Adam to Jesus.
Furthermore, we know that trees and grass were created before the sun was put in the sky. I don’t think trees would live for long without sunlight.
All these things point to a “short” period of time.
Perhaps Adam and Eve walked with God for a long period of time before the Fall. Scripture doesn’t tell us that, but from Adam’s death to Christ is given very clearly.
God gives us His Word to instruct us in all things. He gave us the people and years of generations for a reason.
Science and scripture are compatible even when we don’t understand yet how.
We will know all things soon enough.
