If God is real and created the Earth then young earthers are wrong to deny the evidence of what the creation shows: an ancient Earth. [Spirituality & Religion]

[quote]Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse
Romans 1:19-20[/quote]

If the God's hand in creation is indeed self-evident then it IS self-evident. It is not deceptive, it is not subtle, it cannot be mistaken otherwise people would indeed have an excuse.
So if the earth [i]appears [/i]to be ancient, if life [i]appears [/i]to have evolved then it [i]did[/i]. Because the creation of the world is [i]clearly[/i] seen so that there is no excuse.

Therefore young earthers need to accept that what is clearly seen is an old earth and evolution.

Very good points. It interesting watching the Young Earth Creationists desperately trying avoid saying the bible is wrong. :)

@Sharon No true born again Christian believes Gods word is wrong. But the more we study it the more we discover, however there are often many ways of interpreting a verse. But God wants us to search out his hidden meaning. Numbers all have meaning fore instance. And yes God hides his meanings, and reveals it a little at a time. It is super fun studying the Bible for this reason.

@Carazaa LOL! You're really funny sometimes, with some of the things you come out with. You could almost make it as a comedian.

Studying Harry Potter and searching out the hidden meanings is much more super fun. :)

They're wrong to interpret Genesis as a literal account of creation.
It's absurd because all the evidence shows clearly that the earth is old and that organisms evolved. 🤷‍♀️

@Pikachu I know. The Genesis account is a nice fairy story for children but should never be taken seriously.

Well even if one believes that god is real and created the universe, it's silly to ignore what the world shows us in favour of a preferred interpretation of the bible.
