No Speculation Required

Even some of the ancient creatures are covered in Job 40:15 and throughout chapter 40. When God spoke to Job beginning in verse 15, saying, “Behold now Behemoth, which I made as well as you.” And in verse 16 God told Job, “behold now his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly, how he bends his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are tubes of bronze;” The point here is, God was talking to Job about this creature and others that were there amongst them; there were no creatures, that are here today created that weren't created in Genesis chapter 1. The fossil record discredits young earth theory and gives credence to a very ancient planet Earth. Therefore if there were creatures of the earth before the Genesis account they were put here for our benefit and the through the natural process of time we now use and enjoy the elements of the earth from everlasting.

So tell me if you know, where in all of this, does the truth of God’s word give a glimmer of hope to evolution or to even the theory of evolution? The truth as God has given it to us has left no gaps; and no man, let alone the church should be saying that it does.

“Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Now gird up your loins like a man of God should, and I will ask you, and you instruct Me!”
Job 38:2-3

The statements made in Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 are verses that state truth, but that make no reference as to space and time; as do the verses in Proverbs 8:22-26 and Ecclesiastes 1:4. Even if you are using a different version of the Bible, than the one I've used (New American Standard Version), for the verse in Ecclesiastes 1:4 (pg 13 p 5), “But the Earth remains forever,” this verse, when read in conjunction with Proverbs 8:23, “From everlasting I was established, from the beginning, from the earliest times of the Earth,” you still find the same truth being revealed. Truth is the word of God stands alone being witnessed by itself with the Holy Spirit.

You may or may not believe that the truth that I have presented here as being theologically significant if you are not aware of the absolute avalanche of teaching that exist today throughout the biblical based or theological society who have addressed this issue. And to them I would say this, after searching out the truth revealed in scripture as it pertains to this matter, that I believe that no one, least of all the church should be presenting or supporting the fallacy of a young Earth as being supported in the scriptures. Even if out of fear of supporting the flawed theory of evolution, which I have shown that the scriptures dispel as well.

Time is tricky stuff and none of us has the wherewithal to understand it fully. Thus the fact that time goes on without our full understanding should be enough to keep even the most astute of us humble, before our time controlling God. God gave us time to measure the life of man. When we sleep we have no concept of how much of time has past and therefore we can have no concept of the things that took place before time was measured for us. Furthermore how dare we the church, in lack of humility, question, hypothesize, formulate theories, and in all other ways claim to know anything.

There is no flaw in the bible and its accounts of the creation, thus there is no harm done to the believing Christian who trusts in every word, he does not have to support any theory, or question any of the workings of God in creation nor in salvation, and he is a stronger Christian who does not. It is not blind, whether learned or unlearned, belief in the word of God is all that is required, and the Holy Spirit reveals the truth. It is in fact blind faith to follow the theorizing of man. Remember Paul to the Corinthians in the first letter 2:16, but you have the mind of Christ. With that understanding you have no need that a man teach you all things pertaining to God, He will do it Himself.
