Was the World Created in Six Days?

Was the World Created in Six Days?

According to Genesis, God created the universe in six days and rested on the seventh. Many religious followers believe literally that everything from the air we breathe to the water we drink was created in a matter of days. Others scoff at this interpretation, insisting that the universe couldn’t have possibly been created in such a short time span. What really happened “in the beginning”?

Science Has Not Ultimately Proven Millions of Years

The age of the earth, as determined by mankind’s fallible methods, is based on unproven assumptions, so it is not proven that the earth is billions of years old. 1

This unproven age is being used to force an interpretation on the language of the Bible. Thus, mankind’s fallible theories are allowed to interpret the Bible. This ultimately undermines the use of language to communicate.

Evolutionary scientists claim the fossil layers over the earth’s surface date back hundreds of millions of years. As soon as one allows millions of years for the fossil layers, then one has accepted death, bloodshed, disease, thorns, and suffering before Adam’s sin.
