How can the Bible say that God created everything in six days when science has proven the earth to be billions of years old?
In the first place, this question as asked assumes that which has NOT been proven, namely, that the earth is billions of years old. On the other hand, it not surprising that evolutionists today believe in an old earth. If one starts with the presupposition that there is no God, an old earth is the only alternative. After all, the earth does appear to be very old. Consider the following: • Genesis 1 indicates that God made the earth with the appearance of age. Everything was made full grown. You can imagine Adam on the sixth day looking at the stars (millions of light years away), and wondering aloud how many millions of years everything had been in existence before he was made. Of course, God would have replied that those stars were only made a few days before with the light supernaturally brought to the earth and thus bypassing the millions of years it would have ordinarily taken for the light to arrive. Consider: how old did Adam look to Eve after Eve was made? But how old was he? •
