Creation Science, a biblical approach to our Origins

I believe that the Biblical account of Creation is true and trustworthy. I believe that the heavens and the earth and everything in it was created in a literal 6 days (day being 24-hour period). In response to the word day being yom in the Hebrew and can be interpretated as an "unspecified amount of time" I think that it would be poorly interpretated as such, in this instance. According to Walzoord and Zuck, and other Dallas Seminary faculty "day" should be interpretated as a literal 24-hour days of divine activity. This is supported by the fact that the term yom (day) with an ordinal adjective means 24-hour day wherever this construction occurs in the Old Testament. We must remember that in order to interpret the Bible accurately we must use the whole of Scripture and not just pick and choose to make our position right. Evolution is an invention of Satan and therefore has no truth whatsoever in its origin.

I believe the Bible says about creation. God is the one who brought the universe into existence out of nothing. But I do have problem with the way answeringenesis people interprets the Bible, specially Genesis 1 and 2. In Genesis chapter 1 you find the word 'day' (yom in Hebrew) again and again. In Hebrew literature the 'day' need not be always interpreted as 24 hour duration. It can also mean a long unspecified period. So we have to really see when we should interpret 'day' as 24 hr duration and when as long unspecified period. I do not think think Genesis 1 talks about 24 hr duration. Prof Walter Kaiser and Prof Gleason Archer are two very well known OT scholar who believe in the Bible as God inspired book. They said that the day in Genesis 1 need not be interpreted as 24 hr duration. I find problematic when some evolutionists say that evolution explains even the origin of the universe. Theory of evolution cannot explain that. That is the realm that philosophers and theologians must deal with, and not scientist who deal with emperical things. Literal creationism has poor biblical exegesis as well as poor scientific evidence. I am an old earth creationist, not even a theistic evolutionist nor literal creationist. So I believe in literal Adam and Eve, but not that the star is just some hours older than Adam. I also can't make sense that Adam felt lonely after few hours of creation and so God had to create Eve. Answer in Genesis people are God fearing people, but there are also lot of God fearing Christians who hold on to the Biblical inerrancy, but also believes that Genesis 1 does talk about 24 hr duration.

yup I believe it.

From what I have learned from my lessons in Religious Education, the story of Creation did not literally took place in 6 days. All that happened were some sort of symbolism, all were symbols. But what interested me most was the lecture about how God created only good things in this world. He did not created anything bad, the only reason that evil existed is because of too much goodness. Confused? Because of too much want for goodness man tend to do everything in order to do good. And too much goodness is bad.
