Probably covered somewhat in the "how old is the earth" thread, but I wanted a different angle and more depth.
It seems that evolutionists believe in the BBT (big bang theory) and claim it proves there is no God. I have heard some believers claim there is no BBT so there is a God. I see no reason why the BBT has to be at odds with creation. God could have made this earth and all creation how He wanted to.
Me, I believe in the BBT and I know God created it. How old is the earth? God knows, and it is fruitless to discuss it if you believe in God. Why would I say that? God made Adam, not as a baby, but as a mature adult. It is completely irrational to think God created a newborn and reared it Himself. If God made Adam brand new, and made him to look, say 35 years old, why could He not have made earth the same way? He very well could have. We have no way of knowing.
Tell me, how long was Adam in the garden of eden? 10 years? 10 million years? You and I simply don't know. That is something that never gets addressed or taken into consideration in these discussions. I am confident it was more than 10, and less than 10 million, but beyond that I wouldn't hazard a guess.
When God talks to Job after Job's trial, He says a lot of very profound things to Job. He starts by saying this to Job :"Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me."
Think about that. He is telling Job to prepare himself for what He will tell him. Brace yourself! Stand up like a man! Fasten your seat belt and hang on!
The answer, of course, is beyond Job's ability to answer. We simply don't know, nor will we, until we reach eternity. These questions put forth by God did exactly what there were meant to: Left Job speechless. Humbled him immediately before God.
As humans we have the laughable trait of puffing ourselves up, thinking we are something, when in reality we are less than nothing.
God told me everything I know, not everything He knows. We must never forget that. Let's keep what Paul said to us in mind at all times: "For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself."

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. [SUP] [/SUP]Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
[SUP] [/SUP]Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof
