I don’t know his thinking, of course, but it seems he’s trying to justify - to those who don’t believe in creation - why he believes God created everything. And maybe trying to convince them that they don’t have to give up their belief in science.
I have no problem believing there was a collision - or many - but I don’t believe science will ever be able to explain it because creation was brought on by the mighty hand of God - all having to do with His power alone. It will remain a mystery, no matter how many theories evolve.
Who knows how long it took? I know we’re told 6 days, but we are also told that a thousand years is as a day for Him. So scientists won’t convince me they have those ‘facts’, either. The measurement of time was given for man’s understanding - 6 days of work - worship and rest on the 7th day. We’re created to need this structure.
I look at it like this -
On the one hand, we have scientists — who are highly-educated by other men - who teach them what they admit are theories. They have their ‘facts’ - until they have their different ‘facts’....
On the other hand .. God never changes His facts - which is also known as Truth - although creation is ongoing because He’s still at work (which is scripturally sound). Yes, this requires faith that what He has told us simply is.
For myself, I don’t have to know the how’s and why’s — but human nature makes us curious and we try to figure things out. Understood.
Otherwise, I’m content in holding to what I believe to be the truth, by faith. And I am in complete amazement whenever I look up to the heavens and truly understand His hands ARE still at work - and it’s all in control - as He has said.
- and the theories of man are just that, theories - which in my opinion are a distraction from the Truth.
One day I will know. For now, I’m only getting a glimpse as if ‘looking through a dark glass’.
A man asks God, 'What's a million years to you?'
God says, "A second."
Then the man asks God 'What's a million dollars to you?'
God says, 'A penny.'
Then the man asks God, 'Can I have a penny?' and God replies, 'Yes, just give me a second.'
