Arguing about the realities of life on Earth and whether we evolved from mouse-like mammals or whether God created us and everything else on this Earth! There are many people who are arguing or debating, depending on how civilized the debate goes, about how life came to be on this planet. Why? What is so polarizing about life’s beginnings or how life began on this planet?
Yes, there are fossils which are supposedly found in layers which “date” back hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. These same layers have also been found in the ash flows around Mount St. Helen’s eruption, which are less than fifty years old. Also, the “carbon dating” of rocks and fossils is subject to interpretive and radioactive false readings, check the dates found on newly deposited lava flows in Hawaii. Some of which were “dated” at over one hundred thousand years of age, yet they were deposited just days or even hours before.
Our world is not billions of years old, yet some scientists seem to think or believe that it is. I will not debate what is a perception of belief. The Earth is here, we and all other life on this planet are here, the cosmos and all that is in it was here and is still here. Explanations aside, scientific or Biblical whichever you prefer, we are people who aspire to explain things which we can’t explain. Faith is something that we find hard to believe as well as being hard to explain to scientists and others.
If you are not a believer, a Christian, faith is nearly impossible to understand. Anything which requires faith to believe, such as God being the Creator of everything, causes a polarizing effect between scientists and so-called Creationists. People, mainly Bible believing Christians, who truly believe that the Word of God is true don’t question the account of creation as told in Genesis. I happen to believe that God is the Creator and since He is God, if He wants to create everything in six twenty-four hour days then He can! Making the universe and the Earth itself appear to be older than it is would really not be a problem for Him at all.
Give it a rest, the evidence shows what it shows and how you believe what you see or read is totally up to you and your own beliefs. Debating the issue will not change what I believe and telling you what I believe and why will not change your mind either. When He comes to rule the Earth, the answers will be evident and clear to everyone.
