I want to go "off topic" for a second and share a teaching that I believe is crucial to understand straight from the bible concerning "old vs. young" earth. This teaching from Dr. Larry Ollison was eye opening to grasp when He uses nothing but scripture to prove his point. This understanding has allowed me to better 'discuss' these biblical ideas with non-believers when they scoff at things like the age of the earth and the first human - Adam - being about 6,000 years ago. Was the earth actually "created" 6,000 years ago, or was the earth "re-organized" from the "formless" condition it was in at that time. The Hebrew words used in Genesis 1 state this. The earth was without form and void by the time we get to Genesis 1:2. Why? what happened after verse 1? Did not God make the earth in perfect 'form', as Isaiah 45:18 says? What caused the earth to become "formless" from verse 1 to verse 2 of Genesis 1? That's what is explained in this teaching.
Consider this bible verse from Peter, DO YOU REALLY THINK YOU KNOW WHICH "WORLD" Peter is referring to?
2nd Peter 3:5 For they deliberately overlook this fact, that the heavens existed long ago [before Adam?], and the earth was formed out of water and through water by the word of God, 6 and that by means of these THE WORLD THAT THEN EXISTED [before Adam?] was deluged with water and perished.
Which world? Adam's world, the world that we know and exists NOW or a previous world that "then existed" was 'deluged with water and perished?
Please Watch Dr. Ollison's message on this based strictly on bible verses - not our "thoughts" on what the bible says...
P.S. Please do not comment prior to watching this video - I ask that your comments reference the scriptures that are discussed in his teaching - AND - if you disagree with his interpretation - please offer up your rationale with bible scripture to prove your point - thank you.
