New old earth
by Matt Doyle
(Tennessee)
God made Adam and Eve 15-40 years old, we think. God may have made an old earth. If the earth were stamped with a six thousand year old copyright date man would not need to take the dramatic leap of faith that Kierkegaard described so lengthily. There would be no atheists, there would be Jews and Muslims but the perfect timeline of the Torah would have almost assuredly have ruled out all other major religions based on there inaccurate timeline.
Why were we not born into heaven? Because God administers a test of faith. My argument for creation is simple If god exists and he is who he says then he doesn't lie and he said he created the earth. Thus the only thing left to prove to myself is that the God I believe in is a real God. My introduction with God happened as follows; because I felt the supernatural presence of God I accepted him into my life, and after this experience of becoming a believer, the existence of God is incontrovertible. I see God work in my life and those around me daily. I feel his presence and appreciate the obviously spiritual blessings he provides.
My answer does not answer to natural law but neither does my God.
