Are you and the YECs posting on this thread as sure that those verses mean what you think they mean as you are that the bible tells us the world is 6,000 years old, there was a global flood around 4,400 years ago, and dinosaurs coexisted with humans?
ABSOLUTELY SURE, only your math is off. It may have taken six 1000 year DAYS, to complete Creation. So I would estimate it to be closer to 12,000 to 14,000 years from when GOD started Creation:
2 Peter 3:8 (HCSB)
[SUP]8 [/SUP] Dear friends, don’t let this one thing escape you:
With the Lord one day is like a thousand years,
and a thousand years like one day.
2 Peter 3:5-6 (HCSB)
[SUP]5 [/SUP] They willfully ignore this: Long ago the heavens and the earth were brought about from water and through water by the word of God.
[SUP]6 [/SUP] Through these waters the world of that time perished when it was flooded.
Job 40:15-19 (NKJV)
[SUP]15 [/SUP] "Look now at the behemoth, which I made along with you; He eats grass like an ox.
[SUP]16 [/SUP] See now, his strength is in his hips, And his power is in his stomach muscles.
[SUP]17 [/SUP] He moves his tail like a cedar; The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.
[SUP]18 [/SUP] His bones are like beams of bronze, His ribs like bars of iron.
[SUP]19 [/SUP] He is the first of the ways of God {first is size};
Only He who made him can bring near His sword.
Job 41:1-8 (NKJV)
[SUP]1 [/SUP] "Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?
[SUP]2 [/SUP] Can you put a reed through his nose, Or pierce his jaw with a hook?
[SUP]3 [/SUP] Will he make many supplications to you? Will he speak softly to you?
[SUP]4 [/SUP] Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever?
[SUP]5 [/SUP] Will you play with him as with a bird, Or will you leash him for your maidens?
[SUP]6 [/SUP] Will your companions make a banquet of him? Will they apportion him among the merchants?
[SUP]7 [/SUP] Can you fill his skin with harpoons, Or his head with fishing spears?
[SUP]8 [/SUP] Lay your hand on him; Remember the battle-- Never do it again!
Job 30:29 (YLT)
[SUP]29 [/SUP] A brother I have been to dragons, And a companion to daughters of the ostrich.
NOW PLEASE STOP TRYING TO DERAIL THIS THREAT, and start your OWN thread on OEC vs YEC.
