The evidence of His creation says 16 billion years (from our perspective). He doesn’t lie in either His Word or his Creation. So if there seems to be a contradiction then either we are misreading the clues in nature OR we are misinterpreting His Word.
OR
the small part of evidence some focus upon is simply mis-interpreted. Afterall if 13.7 or 16 billion years elapsed time were correct there would not be over 100 other natural clocks contradicting said pet theory.
Science is no longer science when it attempts to recreate history.
So sad that we are so annoyed when the PTB spike stories and avoid disclosing all facts and contradictory ideas b/c it does not support their hidden agenda yet fall for other lies time and time again. Here we have the internet helping expose lie after lie but simply can not believe that fabrications and hidden agendas have always been the practice of mankind.
