Now, our next question gets to be; How old is this earth? Well considering that I consider the Holy Bible to be the inerrant word of God, I believe that it is about 6,000 years old. Now there is some debate on what the word day in the Book of Genesis means. Some people take it to mean an indeterminate period of time while others consider the word day to denote a twenty-four period as it does today. I have considered it both ways and do not see why God could not have created the world in six, twenty-four hour days. Many of the things that non-believers say took millions of years were caused by the flood. Even non-believers now admit that there is a better than fifty-fifty chance that a worldwide flood took place. What has been happening over the years is that the more the scientists dig into the past, the more they prove the Bible to be true.
What all of this means is that we need to look at the earth in a completely different way. We need to discard the "theory of evolution" and concentrate on how and why things turned out the way they did. Did we have cavemen? Probably. Do you honestly believe that when God threw Adam and Eve out of the Garden of Eden that they knew how to build a house, or even instantly make a tent? Besides, once Cain slew Able, he was sent away and no one really knows how or where he lived. So the possibility of there being cavemen is very real, even from a Biblical perspective. These first people had no knowledge of building tools or other necessities. They would have lived on what they could glean off the land. Those of you who read the Bible will remember that man was not to eat meat until after the flood. Thereby, there would have been no need of many of the items for hunting or cooking meat.
I think I am going to leave it here this week and give everyone that reads this time to digest where I am going with this discussion. I will continue along the same vein next week. Until then check out my other two blogs.
