Questioning Darwin

RE: Questioning Darwin
(February 17, 2014 at 4:30 pm)Lek Wrote: Not all people who believe the the biblical story of creation believe in a young earth. Much controversy revolves around the use of the Hebrew word "yom" in the creation account. The Hebrew language had many fewer words than modern day languages and words had multiple meanings. Yom has several meanings, one of which was a 24-hour day. Some other meanings were a point of time or a general vague time, and some others definitions. If yom here means a general vague time, it would allow for an old earth interpretation. Although many creationists do believe in a young earth, many also believe in an old earth.

That's good, but if they took their faces out of the book and looked at the Universe around them, maybe there would be no further confusion.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
