Evidence for God from Science

found this forum....

I agree with statment in the banner.

Can't wait to get into interesting discussions.

I argue with atheist about evolution. Of course..

I am a old-earth Creationist.

Hello................I'm going to love this place.

Welcome Battlehelmet. You'll find a good company of OEC's here - mostly those adhering to Day-Age.

For the poll, Do I believe in Genesis that God said what?

Heh..

the commands according to creation.

Of course I do. Even were I to adopt OEC, I would still believe that God uttered the commands; just that the execution of those commands took a long time.

Cool.

This forum is so awesome I can feel I will fit in well here.

You can tell he's excited

And I'm a young earther....a heretic, according to the founder of this forum. I'm ok with that, of course fitting into the crowd isn't my favorite thing to do anyway.

Ha...I don't work well with the obvious 'cliques" at other religious forums. I'm open-minded and optimistic about what I will learn from this place.

So is the majority of YEC,YBC creationists larger than the OEC crowd?

Not around here, that's for sure. I'd say OEC's definately hold their own around here.

Word.

Thy word is settled in heaven.

I will no doubt look forward to forming friendships wiith you guys here.

Moved to Chit-chat, because we really didn't discuss creation.

Yes, I believe that in Genesis, God said. And that He meant what He said and said what He meant!

God uses day in the non-literal sense all the time in His Word, why would this be different?

However it's not as though that the word for day, yom, is used in a non-literal sense in Genesis for the Day-Age position. There are three "literal" definitions for yom and they are sunrise to sunset (12 hours), from one sunset to the next (24 hours), or an unspecified period of time.

Kurieuo.

Exo 20:8 "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
Exo 20:9 "Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
Exo 20:10 but the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you.
Exo 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.

So, were the Israelites to rest on the "seventh day" for an indefinite period of time? Or was God just being unclear in His commandment?

I think He was quite clear and not confused. He rested on the seventh day, and so should they. God even blessed the day and made it holy. Did he bless one day or did he bless an indefinite period of time?

Damn, in all the time we've been here, we've never seen those verses before. You took me completely by surprise.
