That is made clear in Moses 3:7. <br /><br />The creation of the stars is another matter. I believe God is simply saying that He created them. I do believe the universe is eternal and not young as the Evang Christians believe.<br /><br />The RATE project conducted by ICR.org about 15 years ago found the earth to be 7,000 years old. That is what I believe. <br /><br />As a geologist I found many a contridiction in the uniformatarian geology in the field. So I dont accept the pseudo science as taught in school. That science was created to destroy Christanity. <br /><br />That is why I'm so out spoken about BYU teaching evolution. They should be doing real science that is being done by the Evang at institutions like ICR. <br /><br />Iterryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281119992916618849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-31410837302918303252019-12-27T10:35:58.175-08:002019-12-27T10:35:58.175-08:00Consider another matter:

If these days are 1000 years long, and God rested 1000 years before Adam fell, and we are now just over 6000 years since the fall, then that would mean our Sun, moon and all the stars were created about 10,000 years ago.. <br /><br />Science has determined that the distance to our sun is 92,955,820.5 miles. Using that measurement they carefully measure the angle between the sun and specific stars twice at six month intervals. Then with basic geometry, and extremely accurate measurements, they determine the distance of those specific stars from earth in terms of the distance to our sun. <br /><br />An example is the Andromeda galaxy which is 2.5 million light-years from earth according to this method. But if the Andromeda galaxy, which is one of the "stars" in our physical heavens, was created 10,000 years ago then how can we be seeing light that came from it 2.5 million years ago?George Washingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09408308975569715587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-29669362531676131942019-12-27T10:31:07.199-08:002019-12-27T10:31:07.199-08:00Iterry have you considered the insight that Moses ...Iterry have you considered the insight that Moses 3:5 is saying that ALL of the creation account in Moses 2 (same as Genesis 1) is an account IN HEAVEN of spirit creations? Even the firmament, moon, sun and stars it mentions are the spirit creation part, not the full physical ones we have. <br /><br />Moses 3 says EVERY plant and ALL mankind was already created. This has to mean the creation of ALL their spirits. In Moses 2:27 when male and female mankind were created it does not mention the breath of life entering them as it does in Moses 3:7 when the spirit entered a physical body. So in Moses 3 the spirit creation of Moses 2 begins to be given physical bodies, beginning with Adam. <br /><br />So we do NOT have a creation account of our physical earth and universe, except for the brief things mentioned in Moses 3 (= Genesis 2 and Abraham 5).<br /><br />5 And EVERY plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew. For I, the Lord God, CREATED ALL THINGS, OF WHICH I HAVE SPOKEN, spiritually, before they were naturally upon the face of the earth. For I, the Lord God, had not caused it to rain upon the face of the earth. And I, the Lord God, had CREATED ALL THE CHILDREN OF MEN; and not yet a man to till the ground; for in heaven created I them; and there was not yet flesh upon the earth, neither in the water, neither in the air; --Moses 3George Washingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09408308975569715587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-80568741656842368052019-12-24T11:06:52.764-08:002019-12-24T11:06:52.764-08:00How can that be Pelacara?

There was no death before Adam even the famed atheist William Craig said (paraphrasing) that evolution means there was no Adam and Eve. In other words the Bible certainly does preclude any death before Adam. There weren't any people before Adam. Also a according to Moses 3 Adam was the first flesh and first man on the earth. <br /><br />Iterryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281119992916618849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948352943362975805.post-25125571324198065862019-12-24T10:30:37.095-08:002019-12-24T10:30:37.095-08:00The Bible doesn't preclude a model that descri...The Bible doesn't preclude a model that describes earth being older than 6000 years.
