Age of Earth & Universe
How Old is Creation
What does God tell us in Scripture?
Looking at Scripture it is very obvious.
God gives "Summary statement"....then explains what he created "each day":
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth
Genesis 1:2
The earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
Came into existence by God Speaking:
Psalm 33:6
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host
Specific 24 hour periods created:
Genesis 1:3-5
Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light. God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light day, and the darkness He called night And there was evening and there was morning, one day
What does Scripture Say?
6 actual days and rested on 7:
Specific day mentioned.
Genesis 2:3
Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made
Genesis 1:31
God saw all that He had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day
Exodus 20:11
For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy.
Israel was to rest on 7th day.
Exodus 31:17
It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed.”
Specific day mentioned:
Genesis 2:4-5
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven. Now no shrub of the field was yet in the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprouted, for the LORD God had not sent rain upon the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground
The Lord has said, If I have not made day and night, and if the limits of heaven and earth have not been fixed by me...
Jeremiah 33:25
Day and night are a 24 hour period.
If we look in the Bible for the timeline calendar of events we will find:
Age of earth:
The answer to the question, “How old is the earth according to the Bible?” can only be found in the dated events of Scripture which are part of the Biblical inerrancy of Scripture.
The Bible timeline real age of the earth is 6,122 solar years in October of 2022 AD according to the numbered dates in the Biblical text.
Why is 24 hours important vs atheistic evolutionists theory on old old universe?
A: Genesis matters as it is essentials in the Christian faith and the Gospel.
