Old Earth creationism

Another position is old earth, or progressive creationism, which does share some similarities with theistic evolution - primarily, that it places the age of the earth at 4-5 billion years ago and the universe at 10-20 billion years ago. However, old earth creationists are not satisfied with the claim that God-guided evolution brought the world into existence, eventually arriving at the world we live in today. Robert C. Newman, an astrophysicist and New Testament professor, acknowledges that it would

Old earth, or progressive creationism shares similarities with theistic evolution in that it places the age of the earth at 4-5 billion years ago and the universe at 10-20 billion years ago. However, they are not satisfied with the claim that God-guided evolution brought the world into existence, eventually arriving at the world we live in today. Robert C. Newman, an astrophysicist and New Testament professor acknowledges that it would be possible for God to use evolution as a creation tool, just

that Earth is definitely over billions of years old. This conclusion is not based on just one measurement and a number that comes up on a computer screen but on many types of evidence. Here I will try my very best to describe the evidence of how scientists have calculated the age of Earth. These methods are largely independent of each other and the history behind this is much longer than 10000 years. Many people have their beliefs. As I am coming from a Christian family, the concept of Earth was that

As stated previously stated old earth creationism is a form of creationism that is based off of the contents of Genesis and does use scientific theories to support itself. The main idea of old earth creationism is that just about everything that happened in Genesis from the Bible is true, but while it is true it is not completely accurate or even in the correct order. What this means is that while Genesis does say everything happens over the course of a week or a seven day period, it does not specify

Genesis 1 account than I ever learned in my entire life. Miller and Soden might argue that my lack of study in this area is a result of being a group thinker rather than an individual thinker (30). Looking at both the Young Earth creationism (YEC) and the Old earth creationism (OEC) views for the first time, I realized that during my time at Moody Bible Institute I am really seeking to be challenged in my beliefs with by no means making it some kind of test for orthodoxy. Even though both the YEC

before the fall may not be found in any of the early Christian’s church’s orthodox, but when it comes to the argument over young or old-earth creationism, it can be a very defining issue. Old-earth creationists believe animal death was part of God’s creation before Adam and Eve were even created, while young-earth creationists reject all death before the Fall. The Old-Earth Creationist view is that Adam’s sin led to his spiritual death, which was then followed eventually by his physical death. Before

Based on the lose interpretation of the Bible mentioned earlier, leads to the question on How old is Earth? Some may argue that earth is only 6,000 to 10,00 years old (young earth creationism) other argue that earth really 4.6 to 13.7 billion years old (Old earth creationism) and lastly other argue God used to evolution when it came to creation (Theistic theory). Young earth theory takes Genesis literal, meaning that this theory believes creations happened in six days and God rested on the seventh

concentrates on persuading unbelieving evolutionists of creationism, yet rather it focuses on convincing Christians who trust that in some type of advancement, (for example, old-earth creationism or the Gap Theory) that the primary perusing of Genesis one and two is a strict perusing. MacArthur constructs a significant part of the book with respect to the view that Evolution is itself a religion that is entirely contradicted to Christianity. Creationism and Evolution, along these lines, can never be blended

How does current science support each of the Biblical views of Young Earth Scientists(YEC), and Old Earth Scientists(OEC)? This is a question that is disputed among many scientists. Although both groups believe that the Bible is the word of God, they both interpret it differently. For example Young Earth Creationists believe that the earth was literally created in one week. Old Earth Creationists believe, however, that days did not refer to 24 hours, but referred to longer periods of time. It is
