About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"HOW OLD IS THE EARTH" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
HOW OLD IS THE EARTH ?
I HAVE PEOPLE QUESTION ME ON THIS SUBJECT AND SAY THAT I DO NOT TEACH WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS. JUST STAY WITH ME ON THIS AND AFTER YOU READ IT, YOU CAN AGREE OR DISAGREE, IT IS MY THOUGHTS. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG AGO THE EARTH WAS CREATED? SCIENTIST NOW SAY THAT IT IS 12 TO 14 BILLION YEARS OLD. THEY GET THIS FROM MEASURING LIGHT. WE KNOW THAT LIGHT TRAVELS AT 186,000 MILES A SECOND SO THEY HAVE MULTIPLIED IT OUT TO GET 5.865.696.000.000, OR 6 TRILLION, ROUNDING IT OFF, THIS IS THE MILES THAT LIGHT TRAVELS IN ONE YEAR, WHICH THEY CALL A "LIGHT YEAR", AND THEY SAY IT IS STILL TRAVELING AWAY FROM US.
WHAT THEY DON'T MENTION IS THAT WHEN GOD SAID IN GENESIS 1:3 "LET THERE BE LIGHT: AND THERE WAS LIGHT", HE NEVER TOLD IT TO STOP. THEY MIGHT CALL IT THE "BIG BANG" AND IT MIGHT HAVE SOUNDED LIKE A BIG BANG WITH GOD'S VOICE, BUT WE KNOW IT WAS HIM. WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS "IN THE BEGINNING" WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG AGO THAT WAS. HE CREATED THE HEAVENS AND EARTH AND SPOKE LIGHT INTO EXISTENCE "IN THE BEGINNING" (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. 3And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.) THE EARTH COULD BE BILLIONS OF YEARS OLD BUT I ALSO BELIEVE THAT ADAM AND EVE WERE CREATED ABOUT 6,000 YEARS AGO. I GET THIS FROM THE BIBLE BY GOING OVER THE GENEALOGY OF MAN. SO IT DOESN'T BOTHER ME WHEN SCIENTIST SAY THE EARTH IS BILLIONS OF YEARS OLD BUT IT DOES BOTHER ME THAT THEY SAY WE CAME FROM A MONKEY. HOW DUMB IS THAT? WE WERE CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD.
THEY KEEP TRYING TO FIND OUT THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE AND IF THEY WOULD HAVE JUST CALLED ME, I WOULD HAVE SAVED THEM A LOT OF TIME AND TROUBLE BY TELLING THEM TO LOOK IN THE BIBLE. I HAD TROUBLE WITH THIS AT ONE TIME. IT WAS NOT THAT I DIDN'T BELIEVE THE BIBLE, IT WAS THAT I HAD STUDIED LIGHT. WITH THE HUBBLE TELESCOPE AND COMPUTERS. THEY ARE ABLE TO TELL US HOW FAR SOME OF THE STARS ARE FROM US. SO, IF SOME OF THESE THEM ARE THOUSANDS OF LIGHT YEARS FROM US, THEN I BELIEVE THE EARTH COULD BE AS OLD AS THEY SAY IT IS AND NOT JUST 6,000 YEARS OLD LIKE A LOT OF PREACHERS TEACH.
THIS IS JUST WHAT I BELIEVE AND I PUT IT OUT THERE FOR YOU TO THINK ABOUT AND IF IT HELPS....GOOD. HOWEVER, THE BIBLE IS THE TRUTH ABOVE ALL SO IF YOU FIND SOMETHING IN IT WHERE IT SAYS THE EARTH IS ONLY 6,000 YEARS OLD, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. I BELIEVE THE BIBLE BECAUSE IT IS GOD'S WORD.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
