Yes.

What did Jesus ever say about Creation?

Why would creation that took billions of years prevent the Christ from being your savior?

If the Bible is infaillable, is the Bible an infaillable doorstop? Of course not, because the Bible should not be used as a doorstop. The Bible should also not be used as a biology textbook.

You have never thought that the purpose of attacking biblical creation is to discredit the source and cast doubt on other areas of it?

God’w Word itself declares there’s no mistakes in its content, that what is recorded is true and has been kept true. God Himself in the book says He will keep His Word true.

Do you not see this is what they are attempting to do? Cast doubt on the recorded historicity in the bible. Relegating actual events to “stories”. Then wherever something sounds too incredible, or unprovable because they were singular-type events, who’s to say these aren’t stories either? How could Jesus be born of a virgin?

I hope you see where this leads, unchecked.

And more so, do you not understand that everything rests on genesis.

God Created everything.

God created mand from the ground. Physically formed him out of earth. Breathed His spirit into him. Billions of years is not the same thing.

God made woman from Adam. Not the same as billions of years.

There was no death in this world until man sinned and fell. Not the same as billions of years (of death).

God reveals that one day He will bring a kinsmen Redeemer to set things right (genesis 3) - a point ahead to Jesus Christ.

Genesis is a foundation of the faith. The concept of billions of years undermines key concepts that Genesis puts down that undergird the rest of a Christians faith. THEY know that and that’s why they attack it. If they can get people doubting it they can make them doubt the bible in other areas.

I am unclear why you don’t see their tactic for what it is. Nor how effective it’s been because we haven’t had people who could respond to someone who’s been exposed to it, by a college prof who has the intent on destroying as many Christian kids’ faith as they possibly can.

Nor should a biology textbook be used as a history book.

The entire Gospel hinges on the existence of the historical Adam, since Christ is the self-proclaimed Second Adam, who by His obedience frees us from the disobedience of one.

As for Evolution, it falls to pieces under close examination. It’s only impressive for those who don’t really understand it themselves.
