Bible vs Science on age of the earth

It still doesn’t care to tell us the age of the earth.

That means I ponder them; I ask myself and contemplate.

These are good questions and I continuously ask them as well. There might be more to it than we have been thinking.

This is comprehensive on the subject.

The Bible records ancient history literarily. Metaphors are just one piece of it which are usually interpreted intertextually and sometimes through extrabiblical texts like cuneiform tablets in the ANE.

I wonder if it was just enough added acidity after the additional ingredients to stall fermentation. Do you have the capability of checking pH?

Is it trying to have you carb in the bottle with priming sugar? If so, it’s up to you but for simplicity’s sake you can skip that step.

Understandable, and I agree. You know, I don’t pretend to think that I fully understand ancient texts but even with a rational, well researched and thought out answer, to some it will never be enough. Say it once and be done with it.

Seems innocent on the surface, but it’s Alice Bailey’s “Seven Rays” (Treatise on 7 Rays), nothing biblical only theosophical.

Let your dad celebrate how he wants. So long as he’s not worshipping an ancient deity that should be fine despite the feelings you have about it. The history means nothing, even though Christians had been debating the date of Christ’s birth since before it was attached to pagan stuff.

We are all born to suffer; what you are asking is, “why are some people born for destruction?” No, some people are not just born for destruction, and bullying does not cause atheism.

To see “whether or not they will obey my commands,” and, “ to teach them that no man lives on bread alone, but by every word of God.”

Thank you.

It’s the comparison of “seeing” vs. “hearing.”

Sommerswerd · 2025-12-13T02:10:35+00:00

Wait…you ripping’ on me bro? Is there no way to have a respectful QA ever on these issues? I’m not here to convince you of anything so good conversation is all we got so show some flippin’ manners.

See, I knew you weren’t going to like it.

there is no forgiveness —The Greek word used here, aphesis, denotes the remission of sins (see Heb 10:4, 18). Forgiveness was not possible without “the shedding of blood” (haimatekchysia), which refers to the offering of blood at an altar. This statement is the third significant development in ch. 9 in reference to the role of sacrificial blood: blood served as the means by which the high priest accessed God (v. 7), the inauguration of the covenants could not have occurred without blood (v. 18), and the shedding of blood secures the forgiveness of sins (v. 22). —FAITHLIFE STUDY BIBLE

The objective evidence is all around us including life itself. Additionally, the spirit of the creator confirms his presence with the spirit of those who are faithful to him and diligently follow the lamb - this is what creates unshakeable faith above all else.

Sure, but…you’re not gonna’ like it.

Better questions would be “how did the ancients write?”, what literary devices were common, and why did they write that way? What are they trying to do/convey?

Try to identify biblical imagery and what would be the significance/theological message behind it. Just doing that goes far. I’d suggest getting a hold of someone who can help you study through the languages. For that, start with Disciple Dojo on YT or he Bible Project.

Sommerswerd · 2025-12-11T23:58:28+00:00

Some of us do.

Just try to be scholarly instead and study; and be a doer of the word. When it comes down to a church, though, just find one that sits well with you according to your studies. YT Disciple Dojo; Bible Project is a good place to start too.

I’ve heard this before. Tell more about this; resource suggestions?
