If the earth is only 6000 years old then on what day in the 6 days of Genesis 1 did God create angels?because it does not mention angels on any of the days also when did Lucifer and a third of the angels rebel against God?.I have scripture proof that angels were created before God made this world in Genesis 1:3-31.Job 38:4-7.What was Lucifer doing when he sinned against God?Where was Lucifer when he rebelled?What happened after Lucifer rebelled?Domenic wrote:I am a simple person, so my questions and reasoning are also simple:

Without researching angels and understanding this you don't have the full picture and so unfortunately this is why you get a young earth.People get a young earth from a lazy way of reading the bible,yes the bible is a vast book and to understand it fully requires bible study.
How?I think it is a good point and I didn't realize this for along time.It does not mention angels being created in Genesis 1 and yet angels are in the bible,on what day were angels created? I think it is a good question.RickD wrote:You're grasping at straws now ACB.abelcainsbrother wrote:If the earth is only 6000 years old then on what day in the 6 days of Genesis 1 did God create angels?because it does not mention angels on any of the days also when did Lucifer and a third of the angels rebel against God?.I have scripture proof that angels were created before God made this world in Genesis 1:3-31.Job 38:4-7.What was Lucifer doing when he sinned against God?Where was Lucifer when he rebelled?What happened after Lucifer rebelled?Domenic wrote:I am a simple person, so my questions and reasoning are also simple:

Because the fact that the bible doesn't mention when angels were created, really doesn't give more credence to any specific creation belief. Angels could've been created on any of the days of creation, or even before the creation days.abelcainsbrother wrote:How?I think it is a good point and I didn't realize this for along time.It does not mention angels being created in Genesis 1 and yet angels are in the bible,on what day were angels created?

One of the strengths of the gap theory is angels and a biblical understanding of them.Also it is not much different than OEC.RickD wrote:Because the fact that the bible doesn't mention when angels were created, really doesn't give more credence to any specific creation belief.

The creation days are talking about the physical creation. Angels are spiritual beings. They could've been created before the universe was created, or after.
And even if angels were created before God made this world, it still doesn't prove The Gap Theory. Angels being created before the world, or even before the big bang, fits into The Gap Theory, all other versions of OEC, Theistic Evolution, and maybe even YEC.
Do I want to see Evolution defeated? If it's found that the ToE is not true. But saying evolution is evil, and the gap theory can defeat it, is about the equivalent of saying the New York Yankees are evil, and the Cumberland Rhode Island Little League team can defeat them. Imo, it's just not realistic.ACB wrote:

Based on a biblical study of Lucifer and his history it would seem plausible that angels were created in the beginning whenever that is.We know the angels sang and rejoiced when God first created it.Evolution has a lot of people deceived and yet nothing is being done really to change it.I think that gap theory can change things.Don't you want to see evolution defeated?I do,too many people believe it.
Then count me as one who doesn't realize it.abelcainsbrother wrote:Think of the gap theory as the church's ace in the hole when it comes to the theory of evolution and yet most don't even realize it.
