Exactly. If Adam had the appearance of age, the animals had the appearance of age, the trees were not seeds, but had the appearance of age, why do Christians feel the need to compromise and not see that EVERYTHING was created with the appearance of age.
And, no, God is not “deceiving us” with an apparently old earth.
He told us EXACTLY what he did.
Anybody know at which point the Creator created time?
I conjecture possibly at the Fall of Man, which for all I know, could have been in relation to the Fall of a third of the Angels in Heaven in Eternity.
(What’s bound on earth has already been bound in Heaven and what is loosed on earth has already been loosed in Heaven?)
