Global warming is simply the expression utilized referring to the melt down of glaciers around the world, the two polar thaws, the average temperature rises in both hemispheres, the ensuing droughts with rivers drying up and even disappearing, , wild fires erupting everywhere, and the great losses of crops and livestock world wide..
Pushing 880, I do not recall reading of this type of activity on a global scale nor do I recall such occurring in my brief time here..
Although I am legally blind, I do see what is going on in my own life time. You are allowed to use your vocabulary and word selections, and I belie I am allowed the same.
I think Christians and Scientists are running pretty much neck and neck though Science may have the upper hand as they are WILLING to revise as they go along and everyone follows, IN COMPARISON to Christians that is.
Christians study the WORDS OF GOD
Scientists study the WORKS OF GOD
Doesn't matter if the Scientist believes in GOD or NOT as everything 'that is', is a spoken law of God. But it's a LAW none the less. They can't make it quit being a law because they don't believe in God. They are probably more objective.
They say the big bang we know God spoke. They show it slowing progressing, we hear God speaking and bringing it all together.
Look at how HE speaks to the creation of the earth IT WAS A PROCESS. FROM HIS OWN WORDS
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the
foundations thereof fastened? or
who laid the corner stone thereof;
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:8 Or who
shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?
Job 38:9 When
I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
Job 38:10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
Job 38:11
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
Job 38:12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and
caused the dayspring to know his place;
Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
Job 38:14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
Job 38:15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
Job 38:16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
Job 38:17 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
Job 38:18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
Job 38:19
Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
Job 38:20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know
the paths to the house thereof?
Job 38:21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?
Job 38:22 Hast thou entered into
the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
Job 38:23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
Job 38:24 By
what way is the light parted, which
scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
Job 38:25
Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
Job 38:26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
Job 38:27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
Job 38:28 Hath the rain a father? or
who hath begotten the drops of dew?
Job 38:29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
Job 38:30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
Job 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
Job 38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
Job 38:33 Knowest thou
the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
Job 38:34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
Job 38:35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are?
Job 38:36
Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
Job 38:37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
Job 38:38 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
Job 38:39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
Job 38:40 When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
Job 38:41 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
Everything that is, every process HAD TO BE SPOKEN. It has to be a LAW. Even the 'disorder' is ordered by GOD.
I myself, don't believe that the EARTH and the universe COULD APPEAR to be millions of years old, IF IN FACT they were not because
THAT would make God the author of CONFUSION which HE SAYS HE IS NOT.
I believe HIM. He gives us knowledge and wisdom and eyes to see and ears to hear and there is no deception in HIM. We take that by faith until the HOLY SPIRIT comes along and says 'check this out' AND if we are not all proud and stuck we 'LISTEN' and FOLLOW and He leads us unto all truth.
There is my belief. Millions of years old.
Revelation 12:1 And there appeared a great wonder
in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet,
and upon her head a crown of twelve stars
Job 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
Job 38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
Job 38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
Revelation 12:2 And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.
Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonde
r in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
Job 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
Revelation 12:4 And his tail drew the
third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.
Job 38:7
When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
There is lots written that is never 'seen' or understood, but we know that doesn't mean it isn't there. Doesn't God tell us from the very beginning?
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
HOW COULD IT BE JUST SITTING THERE in the darkness, if it hadn't been created yet?
the other possibility would be GOD saying something like
'IN darkness and CHAOS all null and void I create the earth and the seas' OR WHAT EVER WORDS TO THAT EFFECT or in that direction or something along those lines
of which I personally HAVE NO CLUE nor any wish whatsoever to put any words into the mouth of GOD, to be clear.
