Good evening all,
I am new to this forum, but I trust this topic will not have been raised already. I am sorry if it has. If so, please direct me to the proper discussion thread.
I recently attended a Creation Magazine seminar at a local church and there was a statement made that I understand in concept, but I still question.
The statement was (Paraphrased) "If the fossil record shows millions of years of death and decay before humans enter into the record why would God call death and decay 'good' or 'very good' in Genesis after the completion of Creation?"
If someone here has an apologetics background please help. I don't want to infuriate anyone, but this statement seems to be (in my opinion) too simple. My assumption is that the fossil record is true and I have read multiple Christian explanations as to how it is not. If need be please just remind me or re-enforce why the scientific data for the fossil record is biased towards millions of years.
