Biblical Problems for Young Earth Creationism

, April 23, 2021, History & Archaeology, Creation, Flood, 5

10 reasons why the Bible doesn’t support a young earth.

Young Earth Creationists insist that the Bible must be taken literally and because of that, they say it teaches that the Earth is around 6000 years old. While this flies in the face of science, the Bible itself does not guarantee this belief either.

I agree. Another line of evidence (sorry if you posted it, I missed it):
God told Adam concerning the tree, “in the *day* you eat from it, you will die.”
They didn’t…..that *day* was centuries later.
Using “day” this way as an unspecified period of time, doesn’t contradict the Hebrew definition of “Yohm” ; rather, the context supports it.

Although, another view is they started to die that day. They say the day we are born is also the day we start to die.
Regardless, I still believe a day is a period of time and not always the time it takes the earth to do a revolution.
A day is as a thousand years to God, likewise a thousand years is like a day.

The Bible and age of the earth?
The sequence of days in Genesis begin when it says: ‘God said’, not when God made the heavens and the earth. The bible says nothing about the age of the earth. It’s foolish to argue for a 6000 or so years old earth because it is not written in scripture.
