We simply don’t know, and that’s fine. My salvation isn’t dependent on knowing the age of the earth and universe. One day we’ll know.

@@Ninekillaa Yep. I disagree with Frank here. God made it clear what He did and we don't need to compromise to please the science community. Creation is a miraculous act, showcasing the power and glory of God.
This is how I've always seen it. The bible is laced with parables and teachings that intends meaning beyond the surface interpretation
And how we figure those parables out is thru relationship.
@@BiblePsychology68 oh?
The bible is the greatest puzzle of all time , full of analogies and riddles, tested by time. You need all the pieces to see the full picture, but even at the beginning if you manage to understand genesis, you will see that it all makes sense.
Yeah that's pretty obvious for people with some background knowledge. The problem is too many Christians only look at the Bible in their own context instead of the author, and then claim you're not following the Bible as you can see in the comments
I think it’s possible God created a mature earth just like he created mature animals, plants and 2 humans.

It's not a coincidence. It takes more faith to be atheist and more faith to belief in a coincidence situation than it does being a christian and believing the predestined and free will outcome that God foresaw. It's very amazing brother!
You Tube has a microphone, too. I can't count how many times my conversations make related videos show up within 24 hours after said conversations.
I guess God is a good mind reader?!
Keep in mind that the Creation story was carried by oral tradition long before Moses wrote it down. When he wrote it down, it was to teach people who just escaped slavery. It is written in a way that even a child can understand it. If you really study the Creation story, the order the events occurred are not in contradiction to science. For example, plants had to exist first, to produce oxygen for animals that appeared later: first from the sea, then birds, then mammals. It's quite fascinating.
Interesting that it’s in this order, like the marine life, dinosaurs-birds, and then the rise of mammals.
Of course I’ve heard compelling creationist arguments also, but it’s interesting
The Bible says light came before the sun. That's in direct conflict with science.
A day in heaven, thousand years in earth.
Trueeeee
These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
god calls the day a generation ... that explains a lot
1. It says thousand not millions or billions of years
2. The "1 day is as a thousand years" is God's 7000 year plan for the world
Just like God created everything in 6 days and rested on the 7th
Earth has 6000 years where man rules earth ...
When Jesus establishes his millennial reign (1000 years), that will be earth's 7000th year
Symbolized by God resting on the 7th day

@@theespionageact5249 Atheist and some christian have a lot of knowlege issue. First of all bible is written by Men. Is not a Book but a collection of Books. Each book was written in a certain period of time, you CAN T read any verse of the bible without studyng the current historical tradition, language and knowing the type of book you re reading poetry, historical, myth etcc. Also if you do not have any kind of understanding of historical text traductions ! it is easy to mess up the meanings. example When you ll read the Genesis you will find written that men were created before animals and also that men were created after animals, does that mean that bible is incorrect NO ! just the sacred author is not intersted in explaining scientifical facts, but on phylosofical moral one.
Those scared author are inspired from GOD througth what we call the holy spirit.
So please kid do not make assuption if you do not even know the basics.I dont want to go in depth but just to tell ya genesis for example was written in 1700 1800 a.c before even basic concept of phylosophy and logic where used in within the human language, as you know concepts that we still use today were introduced by greeks. so yes u cant just read the bible without studyng you must know 2 languages at least to read properly the bible expecially the old testamen, while for the new testament since historically in the timeline is closer to us is easier to understand it from the traduction.

What if God created the earth mature like he did Adam
If you are not asking a question but making a rhetorical statement then not only does the Bible reject science, you do too.
What if God created the universe five minutes ago and all your memories have been invented? If God can create a mature earth, then God can create a mature you.
What do you mean by mature? Adam were created with a process using different kinds of materials that God also created. So if we will assume that God also created the earth in some similarities on how he created Adam, I would assume that God created the earth using different kinds materials in a process too.
@@JohnMark-yh4br Mature means adult. Adam was married the same day he was created. He didn't start as a baby. So maybe the earth was made to "appear" old but was not.
Good point. God very well could have done that.

Genesis 1:1 proven long ago by modern science itself
Genesis 1:1👍🏻
Man, this guy has an answer for everything. I wish I could send him all my Bible questions & have him answer then.
The most interesting thing about the Bible is how it describes existence by beginning with light, then sea and skies, then land, then animals, and then man--very similar to the scientific approximation of what followed what. It's interesting how we knew to draft it that way before we had sophisticated means of paleontological study.
Excellent answer!
Yes daddy. I've been a good little boy. I believe what ever you say.
“Trustworthy is the word, and in this regard I wish you to strongly affirm, that those who have believed in God should keep their minds on maintaining good works. This is good and profitable to men. But keep away from foolish questions, and genealogies, and strife and quarrels about the Torah, for they are unprofitable and useless. Reject a divisive man after the first and second warning,
Titos (Titus) 3:8-10
Yeah, in good old english: Don´t think, work! And don´t even talk to people who think... What a lovely recommendation!
FriendlyVienice That’s a Strawman. The passage is saying that that little doctrines within Christianity don’t matter, the main story does. The Bible says that we shouldn’t listen to someone who is divisive after being shown a valid point or evidence. Simple. Thinking IS allowed, the Bible also says, “Come, let us reason together.”
Genesis very precisely descirbes the length of a day. The light called the day, and the darkness night, and the evening and the morning were the first day. The evening and the morning were the second day, and the third day and so on. A day is one evening and one morning long, which we know today as a 24 hour period.
But according to Jewish tradition it was 12 hours in day. Plus notice that earth and the Heaven were formed BEFORE God made the lights in the sky that separated the day. God’s evening and morning were not established as a day until the 4th day. God doesn’t describe the length of a day but gives us signifiers to understand how to separate what is considered a day. At the end of the day lol this question it seems was designed to not be answered while we were on earth because how can man constrict a timeless God and His method of creation to time as if He operates under time? And under our time at that because all cultures had different versions and interpretations on how to count the time between evening and morning.
@@ServantStatusMinistries i think you or the jews missed what jesus actually said, “jesus answered, Are there not 12 hours in the *day*? If anyone walks around during the *day*, he does not stumble, because he sees the *light* of this world", its 12 hours light and 12 hours dark = 24 hour day, why would you stumble over something if its light outside?
Hawkins once theorized that the universe is shaped similar to a spoon. We set at the round outer edge and where the big bang happened is at the end of the handle. Where we set time seems longer and at the end of the handle time seems shorter. Christians embraced this because a thousand years seems like a day to God. Hawkins later dismissed this theory (because of this he was very angry at God though he was an atheist) for the theory of that the universe was always here.

@@daniel1fullerton, Believing something that opposes your view doesn't make the person ignorant. You're ignorant as well as everyone else. Stop calling the kettle black.
@@daniel1fullerton, There you go with your blind faith. You call it evidence but there's nothing that proves an old earth unless there was someone there during that imaginary time of billions of years you believe in. And for the record, I'm not triggered at all; not in the slightest.
Andrew Petty "there's nothing that proves old earth..."
Incorrect. The speed of light and the distances we can see in space prove that the universe is older that a few thousand years.
Evolution proves an old earth because the changes in species take millennia, not decades. Evolution is supported by several strands of scientific research and evidence.
Radiometric dating proves an old earth. There are numerous radioactive isotopes that are measured and they combine to provide overlapping results that increase our accuracy levels.
The only 'proof' of a young earth is a story written by a group of people who had no concept of modern science, who wrote the poems of Genesis in order to have their own creation story to compete with the tribes around them.
There's as much evidence for the Biblical creation as there is for the Egyptian, Roman, Greek, Hindu and Norse creation myths.
The only difference is which one you believe in.
@Saint of Dynasty that's almost as bad
I think we can at least agree that miracles cannot be explained by science. Creation was miraculous. Even if you read Genesis in literal terms, being that creation spanned 6 days, one cannot simply explain that away with science, due to the miraculous nature of creation. Whether you use radiometric dating, or any other sort of analysis, anything is possible when it comes to miracles. Whether that answer satisfies an atheist or not, that is another matter.
Took the words out of my mouth, arigato Amado
I believe 1 day to God is 4 billion years to us
People forget all the laws that play in account when they debate this topic. One they assume as lot of things when it comes to dating. Earth is young. 1. Speed of light can be slowed down or sped up. 2. Thermal dynamics. 3. We assume we can accurately measure distance in space. 4. We assume things were the same in the beginning as it was now when doing radio carbon dating. We assume half lifes of elements are the same as before.
I have to disagree with Dr. Frank Turek on this point. Yes, we all have views, rather the Earth is 4.3 or so billions of years old, or 6 literal 24-hour days if you take the literal Word of God. This is where the problem lies. People inserts science in the Bible first before going to the Bible to see what it says. We inject our theories of something that we were not there to observe, than to listen to the One who has been there and has written it down for us to know.
The Bible does state that there were 6 days in Genesis. But what does it mean by the word "Day?" Like what Dr. Frank has said, the word "Day" have multiple meanings. Here is an example: Back in my father's day, it took 3 days to drive my car across the country in the day. There are 3 meanings to the word "Day." "Back in my father's day" is a reference of time or era. "It took 3 days" which are 24 hour days. "To drive my car across the country in the day" is a reference to the sunlight portion of the day, which was around 12 hours. So which one is it? It all depends on context where it was used in and the key markers to define it.
What do I mean by key markers? There is a certain phrase that appears after each day (with the exception of the 7th day). "The evening and morning were the 1st day." Did you know that the Hebrew word "yom," which means day, appeared over 2,500 times in the Old Testament? And the majority of them are referencing 24 hour days. Check this out:
Day + Number - 410 times = Always an ordinary day
Evening and Morning together with Day - 38 time = Always an ordinary day
Evening or Morning with Day - 23 each = Always an ordinary day
Night with Day - 52 times = Always an ordinary day
So with that in mind, let's look at Genesis 1.
Day 1: Evening, Morning, Number, Day
Day 2: Evening, Morning, Number, Day
Day 3: Evening, Morning, Number, Day
Day 4: Evening, Morning, Number, Day
Day 5: Evening, Morning, Number, Day
Day 6: Evening, Morning, Number, Day
The Bible is clear that the days in Genesis was ordinary days, just out of context alone and using the Bible to define what a day is. And if the days were long periods, then the Bible is fallible and shouldn't be trusted. Think about it for a moment. Where do we get our week from? We get our day from the rotation of the Earth. We get our month from the relationship between the Earth and the Moon. And we get our year from the relationship between the Earth and the Sun. There is no astronomical observations on where we get our week from, except for 6 days (And the 7th day) of creation.
"Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy." Exodus 20:9 - 11
God said to work 6 days and to rest on the 7th. Why would that be? Because it is in the relation of what God did in Genesis 1. If each of the days were millions of years or a different era, wouldn't it be a very weird work week? You work for 1 day and rest for a few million years.
So by the Bible, it is clear that the Earth was created in 6 days, not millions or billions of years ago.
Probably True, probably not. But I agree that it is most likely the case based on the usage of that hebrew word but who knows, we will never knew in this life time.
@@JohnMark-yh4br Like I said before, take it in context. If it is other than 7 days, it is in complete contradiction of Exodus 20:9 - 11. Let the Bible define itself.
@@Allen_Sherry I said I agree and I believe, though we don't have much information on how fast the process of creation of the earth. God created Adam and Even within a day but humans reproduces 1 within 9 months. When God created Adam, there's a process/way He did and materials He used so I assume that the creation was created in a speed we will never know and we will never see. I believe in what the Bible said as you do despite not knowing what exactly happen and that's faith. Even scientists doesn't really know what exactly happen and just assume some attributes of the universe haven't change yet because in order to have a good understanding, they need to rely to unchangeable values.
That's a weak argument. How was God supposed to explain literal science to scientifically-illiterste Jews.
"In the Beginning, I made everything explode into existence. Then over the course of billions of years, rocks coalesced to make what you call the Earth. And the Earth went into orbit at the perfect distance from the perfectly sized star to beget life."
See how ludicrous that sounds? Genesis is a not written like a historical documentation until Abraham. That doesn't mean it's historically wrong; it means pre-Abraham stories were written to demonstrate broad ideas instead of historical truths. The broad idea is that God created the universe in 7 periods.
Also, how do you know what the word "day" meant in that culture? If I said, "The White House started a war," you would never think that a house literally acted. You would understand that "the White House" represents the executive branch, including those outside of the actual house.
The point is, we don't know. Maybe it's metaphorical. Maybe it was figurative. Maybe it was literal. We can't ascertain any one conclusion.
Exactly what I was saying. We should also note that in that begin, the earth was without form which mean the earth has been in existence in some form different to the current form.
Jesus said "have you not read that He that made them at the beginning made them male and female" Jesus is God. That should settle it.

Genesis 1:13 "And there was evening, and there was morning - the third day." ...and so on. Surely theres no disagreement that "there was evening, and there was morning" constitutes the end of a day? So by the Bible's own description, how can Genesis 1:12-31 not be six days, which are made up of six evening and six mornings?
You're right, I think people don't understand that the power of God can never be comprehended. Science follows the laws of nature but God goes against them sometimes for example, the Moses crossing the red sea. Trying to explain everything God did by science is almost impossible as some miracles are incomprehensible with facts but only require faith
evening could be the ending part of an epoch and the morning is the beginning part.
I was at this lecture. Frank does a fantastic job of presenting his points and answering questions. He is possibly alluding to the gap theory...a.period of time during creation in which millions or billions of years happen. He is correct...science and the Bible don't contradict...it's usually scientists and preachers who butt heads with each other.
Interesting. Can you explain the gap theory? And how does this explain creationists attesting that the world was made in 6 days when math 🧮 has it at 13.8 Billion? Even if one said that from our perspective, and that lightyears were sped up from God's perspective and that it was 13.8B years and from God’s it was 6 days, Genesis 1:1 still implies that there was an Earth (and Plants!) before the Sun (light) so I am curious to hear your thoughts?
@@chuka2005 The gap theory, in a very basic nutshell, states that there is a gap in time between the days in Genesis. Things were created in the order set forth in Genesis, but there were millions of years which existed before the modern world came to be. Dinosaurs existed millions of years ago, as well as the flora of that time, but this amount of time had to happen, along with the extinction of certain organisms and continental drift, for it to become what we see today.
@@williamcarrollbroome8097 thanks for the response; although Genesis 1 says there was light and vegetation before there were stars (the sun), so is it really the order in which things were created? Curious to hear your thoughts.
@@chuka2005 I’m not the original guy but I have a good response for ya!
So Genesis is written in what was modern-day poetry in Hebrew for that era. As a result, it’s not to be taken literally (regarding the process of creation).
Ultimately, the order is irrelevant because it is poetic to show that God simply *created.* How that creation occurred exactly is not within the scope of the text.
I think we all too often forget that Christianity began millennium ago in a different language and culture and time period. We *must* factor these details into our understanding of the texts, because no translation is a PERFECT translation. The best translation of the Bible is the original Hebrew and Greek as written in their eras, so to truly understand biblical meaning, it’s vital to understand the historical and literary context to the books.
Hope that helps!
@@user-mz1bi4xz6r thanks for the response. So can you answer me this then - when we say Genesis isn't to be taken literally, is that to say that Adam/Eve are also poetic? That will be tough because Jesus' lineage traces back directly to Adam. With that, what's your understanding of how Adam and Eve connect with "the first men", i.e. homo erectus and homo sapiens who were around way longer than 7000 years ago?
Great answer! It’s also important to understand
God is supernatural (literally outside and above nature). He created the laws that govern our natural environment, therefore, he operates outside the boundaries of what natural science can explain although he can also use nature. Very cool 😎
Outside of nature....what exactly does that mean
Colby Jensen, it means that he existed before the world we know existed. Just like a video game programmer has to create the physics within the game he creates, the physics of this world had to be created.
@@poliincredible770 but existence is temporal and spacial. By definition.
Colby Jensen our existence is, because we exist in this physical plain which was created by God. All we can experience on a natural level is what our five senses can detect. The spiritual realm is supernatural and operates by a very different set of laws.
Bad answer, the first chapter says plants were created, then animals, then man. The second chapter says man was created, then plants, then animals. Don't need science to know that is a paradox.
Is Dr. Turek in Columbia, SC? He is talking about our football stadium! I'd love to see him live!
No one talks about the accuracy of Genesis describing the order in which living things appeared on the planet. Plants then animals then humans. Perfectly synchronized with scientific theory. It even depicts life beginning in the ocean and then flourishing on land. Again perfectly aligned with scientific theory.
Funny, it mentions the macroscopic animals the human naked eye can see (not including mushrooms for some reason, probably because they thought they were plants, all knowing God alright), but not the microscopic bacteria and single celled eukaryotes, which are not plants, animals or humans. Because bacteria appeared on the planet according to science. Hell, the 3 kingdoms only appeared over 2 billion years after life has developed, when multicelluar organisms started to emerge, probably not too far from each other in time.
Also, Genesis 2 says Adam, then animals, then Eve.
Despite the fact that Milky Way (lights in the sky) and the Sun were formed before the 'heavens and the Earth'. Not to mention the birds and flying creatures evolved long after the land was already heavily populated.

Hi. Thank you for your videos. I like them a lot and they give me things to think about. I was raised as catholic and there was never doubt of evolution or the big bang. I have trouble with some catholic doctrine, but as if now, I would still call myself Christian.
I have a question: have ever seen the talk of Ross Hugh "the science of genesis"?
I am not saying, that he is absolutely right, but I found his argumentation somewhat interesting.
I know, this video is 2.5 years old, but do you have an opinion about his reasoning?
Anyways, thank you for your amazing efforts. Stay well.
All I know is that God created me, the world, and everything I've ever loved.
Atheist and some christian have a lot of knowlege issue. First of all bible is written by Men. Is not a Book but a collection of Books. Each book was written in a certain period of time, you CAN T read any verse of the bible without studyng the current historical tradition, language and knowing the type of book you re reading poetry, historical, myth etcc. Also if you do not have any kind of understanding of historical text traductions ! it is easy to mess up the meanings. example When you ll read the Genesis you will find written that men were created before animals and also that men were created after animals, does that mean that bible is incorrect NO ! just the sacred author is not intersted in explaining scientifical facts, but on phylosofical moral one.
Those scared author are inspired from GOD througth what we call the holy spirit.
I would have to say that although I truly appreciate your position in defending the faith, I must admit that in this particular case you have taken extreme measures to stretch the Biblical account of creation in Scripture.
In the beginning, God created the heavens and Earth. That is the initial introduction. The following is a description of the account of creation, ending with the Lord consecrating the seventh day, therefore verifying the very validity of a literal seven day period.
We need not twist Scripture to appease disbelief. Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.
He doesn't actually twist scripture. If you read the beginning of Genesis, it very clearly separates "creating the heavens and the earth" and then comes in the 6 days. You can choose to interpret it as an introduction, but the interpretation of it being a separate even is also completely valid.
So basically his answer to resolving the contradictions between science and the Bible is to say: We don’t know what the Bible means. It could mean anything, and the text is sufficiently elastic to make it line up with the currently prevailing scientific theory.
Wouldn’t it be easier and more truthful to simply admit there is no science in the Bible? That science and religion ask and (endeavor to) answer two different sets of questions?
I believe it's been said before don't read the Bible like a science textbook. The Bible is interpreted many different ways some are debatable and the views aren't easily defined. And wouldn't we want to understand how the Bibles wisdom and everything etc. Applies to modern day? If not than why read the Bible if it's not to change you and your thoughts?
@@maritimesteak8540 science endeavors to understand HOW the world is whereas religion endeavors to explain WHY the world is. The Bible is first of all a religious text, not a scientific one. It oftentimes uses symbolic and even mythic language in answering that question.

ATHEISM is anti-science, atheism = blind faith.
rustyshadow7
Atheism is a lack of belief in a god.
THANK YOU!!! Finally someone explains it the way I always used to tell people around me. "In the beginning" is an open-ended term and can stretch far back into an undetermined past.
Besides, do we really believe that the God of the universe would orient his working day by human 24 or 12 hours or a rotation of a single planet? Seriously? I find such presumptions astounding. If you're still unsure that a day means a totally different thing to the God of the universe then read 2 Peter 3:8.
The Creation of everything in a 7-day time frame might be impossible for people to grasp, but a day to God might not be what a day is to us. The universe along with the Earth are billions of years old. A day to God can be a billion years, not 24 hours.
No. The assumption from science are not the equivalent of the assumptions of Christianity. Assumptions in science are rooted in fundamental properties of nature. E.g. 1+1=2. In Christion Apologetics, you make the assumption that what you claim is true and then filter your arguments to match what you want to believe.
I think there may be a difference between the age of the earth and how long it’s existed.

@Paul Morgan ok. Thanks for writing a sentence in incomprehensible English but thanks for the thought anyway I suppose. Lol
@Paul Morgan no I caught that just fine. I was just curious what happened to your complete thought. All your connecting words. One way to begin studying basic sentence structures is to consider the traditional parts of speech (also called word classes): nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. Except for interjections ("ouch!"), which have a habit of standing by themselves, the parts of speech come in many varieties and may show up just about anywhere in a sentence. To know for sure what part of speech a word is, we have to look not only at the word itself but also at its meaning, position, and use in a sentence.The basic parts of a sentence are the subject, the verb, and (often, but not always) the object. The subject is usually a noun-a word that names a person, place, or thing. The verb (or predicate) usually follows the subject and identifies an action or a state of being. An object receives the action and usually follows the verb.
@Paul Morgan A common way of expanding the basic sentence is with modifiers-words that add to the meanings of other words. The simplest modifiers are adjectives and adverbs. Adjectives modify nouns, while adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. Like adjectives and adverbs, prepositional phrases add meaning to the nouns and verbs in sentences. A prepositional phrase has two basic parts: a preposition plus a noun or a pronounthat serves as the object of the preposition.
The Big Bang cosmology originated with Father Georges Lemaitre. When the Pope suggested his theory confirms the story of Genesis, Lemaitre was openly upset. He felt science and religion are separate.

Genesis 1:5 shows the first day. God rested the 7th day and the Sabbath must be kept holy as God commands.
The authority of the church now recognizes Sunday as the Lords Day to remember!
As God in scripture prophecy’s to the Jews he will no longer recognize their sabbaths as a result of their stubbornness and steadfast disobedience.
Read St. Hildegard’s treatise on creation ...she shows what the first light is which is separate from the sun, moon and starlights.
Even scientists are amazed at her 1,000 year old treatise.
Btw, she has the Earth in the center with the rest of the cosmos revolving around it. 👍🏻
Genesis 1:1😊👍🏻
He said the speed of light being constant is a good assumption otherwise even science time would be uncertain. Well recently the speed of light was allowed down to a stand still by scientist. Also it was found that vacuum indeed had friction that slows down light over long distances. Also it's a week known fact in astronomy that we can't measure beyond 3260 light years due to limited in geometry. Anything beyond that is a guess and stars beyond this distance are measured by brilliance. But this assumes all stars to have the same brightness and size. This isn't true as there are many different star sizes and brightnesses.
I love watching these videos to see the new way people explain these crazy stories from the Bible. Some of them make some really good points! I mean, after you think about it for more than a second you realize it’s ridiculous, but still fun to listen to.
More then a second...... lol , someone’s real smart
You remind me that I have to read the Genesis again, it's being some time now. So I may be wrong on this but we could even say that while He made Adam and Eve he could have also made more people afterwords...
My point is that we can have a hole lot of assumptions that are not written / explained in the Bible but still they do not contradict it.
I don't hear people saying much about ZPE or zero point energy which has proved that the speed of light has slowed down at least fifty million times its rate in the last six thousand years. I wish you would update your information on this, or talk with or get Barry Setterfield's paper on it, thanks Frank, you're doing a great job outside of that though.
Maranatha, I'm sure we'll find out everything one day and it won't matter a bit. We'll just say WOW!!!
I love the exclamation of the days; However, if we are still in the seventh day as Dr. Turek says, then, does that mean God is still resting and not moving, since he did no work in his seventh day??
I don't believe he said we are in the 7th day. I think he said "some people believe that." Honestly that really makes no sense to me.

Thank you for your response.
My advice to you as of today, it's best to stay away from any and all religion.
It is the cancer of this world.
It's in all of our best interest to follow God instead of manmade philosophy (opinions).
To understand that we follow God through His commandments alone.
Treat another as you would like to be treated and to love the Lord your God.
All else is vanity.
e.g., Any that bring a message of fear are not from God.
They come in their own name and do not know Him.
God is love, perfect love and perfect love casts out fear.... the fear of punishment.
And His love has already prevailed on the cross, saving all of creation. No exceptions.
All will be transformed into second Adam.
By way of justification in the spirit, sanctification of the soul and glorification of the body.
Whether it be by the first resurrection or the second one.
None will be lost; all will be overcomers of a corrupted mind (soul).
God bless. Amen.

@@Scorpion-my3dv Yes of course it is. Now go and lie down in a dark room and relax. Make sure you ask an adult first though.
Scorpion 1771 You should really look into radioactive dating and radioactive decay before you simply say the earth is 6,000 years old. Studying physics, the strong and weak nuclear forces and their interactions with an unstable nucleus of an atom show how you can see the age of a rock. Science wasn’t just pulled out of our asses, it’s real stuff.
Arguing based on meaning of the words of the language the Bible was only translated to is quite a good example of plain sophistic rhetoric.
You could say when God created the universe, he made it with age built in.
More proof for a young earth than an old earth. Lol
@subtracted you are mentally challanged too. Lightyears is in meters per second. Science major. In chemistry.
@subtracted It's just based on an assumption that the speed of light haven't change.
@subtracted there are plenty of possibilities that the light being measured is not being measured accurately. Not the least of which is the shape of the universe itself. Creationism has given several feasible possibilities that are good enough to question the results.

Amazing explanation 👏👏👏, Glory to GOD 🙏
Hello. I am an atheist. I define atheism as the practice of suspending the acknowledgement of the existence of gods until sufficient evidence can be presented. My position is that *_I have no good reason to acknowledge the existence of gods._*
And here is the evidence as to why I currently take such a position.
1. I personally have never observed a god.
2. I have never encountered a person whom has claimed to have observed a god.
3. I know of no accounts of persons claiming to have observed a god that were willing to demonstrate or verify their observation for authenticity, accuracy, or validity.
4. I have never been presented a valid logical argument which employed rationally sound premises that lead deductively to a conclusion that gods exist.
5. Of the 46 logical syllogisms I have encountered arguing for the existence of a god(s), I have found all to contain multiple fallacious or unsubstantiated premises.
6. I have never observed a phenomenon in which the existence of a god was a necessary antecedent for the known or probable explanation for the causation of that phenomenon.
7. Dozens of proposed (and generally accepted) explanations for observable phenomena that were previously based on the agency of a god(s), have subsequently been replaced with rational, natural explanations, each substantiated with evidence that excluded the agency of a god(s). I have never encountered _vice versa._
8. I have never experienced the presence of gods through intercession of angels, revelation, fulfillment of prophecy, the miraculous act of divinity, or any observation of a supernatural event.
9. Every phenomena that I have ever observed has emerged from necessary and sufficient antecedents over time without exception. In other words, I have never observed a phenomenon (entity, process, object, event, process, substance or being) that was created instantly by the solitary volition of a deity.
10. All claims of a supernatural or divine nature that I have encountered have either been refuted to my satisfaction, or do not present as falsifiable.
ALL of these facts lead me to the only rational conclusion that concurs with the realities I have been presented - and that is the fact that there is, *_no good reason_* for me to acknowledge the existence of gods.
I have heard often that atheism is the denial of the Abrahamic god. But denial is the active rejection of a substantiated fact once credible evidence has been presented. Skepticism (atheism) is simply withholding such acknowledgement until sufficient credible evidence is introduced. It is natural, rational and prudent to be skeptical of unsubstatiated claims, especially extraordinary ones.
I welcome any cordial response. Peace.
Dr Frank I greatly respect your apologetics and willingness to put yourself out there in the firing line. However I feel that you undermine your efforts by sticking to an old earth interpretation. I watched your 2011 debate with Christopher Hitchens which you clearly won, however Hitchens rightfully pointed out the inconsistency in your belief in this area - ie, God just watched us humans bumble around for 100,000 years until finally deciding to step in.
Can I respectfully suggest you re-examine your thoughts on the hebrew word 'yom', hebrew scholars, secular included, believe the author meant to convey 7 literal days. Creation Ministries is an excellent resource, reaching out to them would, I believe, greatly empower your apologetics ministry. Thankyou.
We dont know how long the days were and we dont know how long Adam and eve were in the garden before sinning so its impossible to be completely accurate but personally I hold to a young earth.
The Bible does say that Adam lived 930 years.
I also agree with a young Earth belief.
I lean towards a young earth as well. It is more in line with the Bible.
User number 316 the days were regular days
@@mikeramos91 that could very well be true. Either way the evidence points to an earth that's existed for about 6-10,000 years old. Not millions or billions.

Well...the scientific world is on the other side.

I lean towards a young earth as well. But more from a biblical perspective.

I would simply ask this question in return:
If the sun, stars, and moon were created on day 4... how long did a day last before then?
The whole point is that a day is just a period of time. God of the universe doesn't work on a 24 hour schedule like we do. The Universe is not 6000 years old l.
@@euanseaman1774 I think ma Jews would be keeping millions of years as a sabbath then lol
Its interesting that most Creationists adamantly defend Creation, but believe in the evolution of the Sabbath from the 7th day to the 1st day. Obediance to God is an issue of morality; just like it was with Adam and Eve with the tree. And most current churches are telling their congregations that “God doesnt mean what He says” in regard to His law. (just like the serpent in the garden).
It's strange to me how some want us to think that the entire Bible's primary purpose is theological in nature except for the very beginning which is meant to be a 100% literal scientific treatise
Day 4 was a supernatural day.
He created the sun moon and stars in one day.
The light until day 4 is the light from God.
He stretched out heavens.
Time is unknown when you are dealing with the supernatural.
The 4th commandment states He did it in six days
Science will never prove the age of the earth and universe.
Scientists will speculate.
Always remember the bottom line is why is the person you’re witnessing to does not trust Christ as their Savior.
I love your answer.
I'm not agree with this answer: because we think that science get the truth about the age or the story of the earth but it's not and we're trying to adjust the writing's of the truth in that other truth but it can't be. Science does not contradict 'cause it' s simply wrong.
The dual slit experiment suggests that the the behavior of light does, indeed, change upon observation of it.
Jesus said the creation of Adam was the 👉beginning👈(Matthew 19:4) you can add the ages from Adam on up and get 6000 yrs
You misunderstood it. Read it again! Matthew 19:4
4 “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’[a] 5 and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’[b]? 6 So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”
Jesus said "at the beginning". The word "beginning" used there means "genesis" based on the context referring to the "time" (Jesus use "at") of the whole creation narrative. Jesus didn't said Adam's creation is the start. You need to understand the context when Jesus said "Haven't you read" which means the audience He was talking to should have known it - they were probably Jews.
John Mark Adam was created on the 6th day. The bible talks about six literal days.
John Mark if the guy did the calculations from the day Adam was made it is valid since he was made in the same year that the earth was made.
@@emmanuelsoto2476 But there are people that never mentioned in family lineage in the biblical chronological order made on purpose. So the calculations was made based on an assumption that there was no gap in the chronological order. The Bible never mention that the age of the earth was 6,000.
No you can’t because no man knows the time span between all events happening from Adam sinning to the great floods and no man knows the times from Adam sinning to when God revealed the stories of the first five books to Moses and even then the works did not go by the Gregorian calendar we have today. Especially when you can not assume that earth when it was new and pure had the same day as earth that is dying because of sin. Perfect earth would be timeless and decaying earth would run on a different system. Plus God controls time who is to say that God didnt speed things up or slow things down where we couldn’t measure time accurately? He already said He would speed things up in the end times. We may need to update our calendar dates and systems and not even know it. The calendar has been updated many times before. So there is no way of knowing but it’s not important to know.
How about Adam as a first human, made by the hand of God? The human species evolved. Let's start there.
We can not try to fit creation into science. Plain and simple, if the science does not speak to creation it is wrong. If we do not understand it, that is because a star breathing God spoke it into existence and our little kinds can not comprehend the heavenly things when we can barely understand earthly things.
Excellent video.
I've always looked at it in the way that genesis is very close to what we have found by looking at the world scientifically. There are a few things that i still have to reconcile admittedly, like the sun and stars being formed after the earth, but i still have faith in what God says, who knows we might find evidence someday that proves this however unlikely it seems at this point. It could also be a transliteration difference, from tenses in different languages being brough to English but that is just a guess i haven't looked into it.
But in reference to the way life is created by God i find very interesting. For example, we know that life evolved in the ocean first most likely, which is consistent with genesis. The cambrian explosion started in the ocean and is still considered a mystery how quickly basically the precursor to most animal formed. the bible also says that plants were created on land before animals, we know that has been confirmed with evolutionary biology as well, plants are what came out of the water first. Also, the reference to "birds of the air" translated from ancient hebrew, the word is oaf (not spelling that right its how it sounds phonetically) which means "flying creature or animal" roughly. The first flying animals are insects, which would have evolved around the time plants had taken hold on land.
The idea that God is outside of time, and time being relative makes the days of creation make sense as well, as it even states in the bible a day is liken to 1000 years to God and vice versa, which i dont think literally means "1000" years like the young earth believers claim, but that time moves differently in our perspective than Gods. So from our perspective life was created and 4 billion years went by and evolution unfolded, but for God it was percieved instantly or in the "days" described. If you make a simulation, the time passes much differently if you play the sims or something, obviously the lives of the people in the game move much faster so you can actually play it, but if they were conscious beings time would move at a slow normally perceived state. Thanks for reading if you did :)

That makes sense 🤔. Btw, anyone know the name of the music at the end?
Understanding is not a prerequisite for salvation, it is a barrier to salvation. Change my mind.
That explains everything 🤣 days are not days, the writer did know night from day, god did not?
I think this is where Frank gets it wrong. The Bible clearly teaches 6, 24 hour days of creation. Jesus even eludes to it in the New Testament.
The most major meaning of day is day. Frank, if not in Genesis 1, when does day ever mean day?
"My Father is still working."
Then this isn't His rest.
Genesis is definitely saying earth was made in 6 literal days, because at the end of each day is says "And there was evening. And there was morning."
Frank and team please can you help me understand how this addresses the notion that the world was made in 6 literal days when math 🧮 has it at 13.8 Billion? Even if you say that the billions of years that science argues is from "our" perspective, and that lightyears were sped up from God's perspective, Genesis 1:1 still implies that there was an Earth (and Plants!) before the Sun (light) which is out of order, so I am curious to hear your thoughts?

@@The-F.R.E.E.-J. You’re right, absence of evidence and evidence of absence are two different things.
But this is evidence that it didn’t happen because we have an unbroken fossil/geologic/historic record of what happened during the time of the flood. We have Egyptian kings that fell around year after the flood- which would have been impossible given the flood happened. Essentially we have much evidence that given the flood/tower of Babel happening, we would not expect to happen.
It is possible for it to have happened if God really wanted to cover it up and make it seem impossible to have occurred.
Google this! It’s really interesting to learn more about it. Or watch Aron Ra’s flood series
Great question!
