The heart of the matter is this: If the changing opinions of science are allowed to dictate how the Bible is interpreted it will lead to a lack of confidence in biblical truth. I would describe this as bad science and bad theology. Unfortunately, this scenario is exactly what we can see happening today—specifically with regard to the question of whether the age of the earth is billions of years old or just thousands of years old.
If it were true that the earth and the presence of humans on the earth relate to long ages before the approximate 6,000 years allowed for by straightforward understanding of the biblical text, then we have a situation that contradicts the Bible, and as expressed above, undermines the sacrificial work of Christ and the Gospel itself. Christians who find themselves in this position, whether they realize it or not, are usually referred to as theistic evolutionists or progressive creationists. I see both of these positions as compromised ones that undermine the authority of the Word of God.
If we allow for millions of years (true science has no verifiable empirical evidence—all dating methods used are based on assumptions that are beyond the ability of science to prove) we are admitting that God used such vast ages to bring all the living creatures on the face of the earth to their present state of being. This means there were vast ages of violence, death, disease, and suffering of both animals and the supposed fictional ape-like ancestors of humans long before Adam and Eve’s time.

“The fossilized tracks were primarily from three-toed theropod dinosaurs. Despite the 3,700-mile distance separating the tracks, their similarities are striking.[…] The preservation of these footprints suggests rapid sedimentation, likely resulting from the Global Flood. Finding matching footprints on both sides of the Atlantic is strong evidence supporting…”
Music shows beauty in God’s handiwork. Let’s explore some examples of where we see music in His creation and His fingerprint in it all.
Something we see in our daily lives and don’t give much thought to is trees. These staples of our world have very interesting ways of pointing back to our Creator. Let’s examine how just two species of trees give evidence of design.
