I really love this post! The straightforward reading of Scripture, reveals that the days of creation (Genesis 1) were literal days, and that the earth is just thousands of years old and not billions. There appears to be a fundamental conflict between the Bible and the reported ages, given by radioisotope dating. Since God is the Creator of all things (including science), and His Word is true (“Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth,” John 17:17), the true age of the earth must agree with His Word. However, rather than accept the biblical account of creation, many have accepted the radioisotope dates of billions of years and attempted to fit long ages into the Bible. The implications of doing this are profound, and affect many parts of the Bible.
