The Answer is Time…
For those who believe that all there is of the
universe(s) and the life that we know on earth came to be over an immense
amount of time without any evidence of a guiding force or intelligent design,
there is an incredible amount of faith demonstrated. The fossil record still has not disclosed
one solid example of a missing link and for lack of a better term, “Mother
Nature” threw some random ingredients together and cooked up quite a dish,
which simmered for billions of years.
The Bible is primarily a record of God’s plan for our
salvation and a convincing demonstration of our tendency to disobey God (i.e.,
sin) and of our total inability to make ourselves acceptable to God apart from
the forgiveness He has provided through Jesus.
The Bible simply states the fact that God created the heavens and the
earth. It does not specifically address
the matter of time / when this creation happened. But, consider this: God’s creation was perfect and God is eternal
(He has always “been” – in fact He describes Himself as “I AM”). So from a biblical standpoint when did time
begin? Adam and Eve were created
perfect in the image of God and the whole concept of death (dying / separation
from God) did not become a reality until the sin of Adam and Eve recorded in
Genesis 3. At that point, and not
before, time became a reality for Adam and Eve.
So can science really rely on the assumptions made concerning time and
the consistency thereof? Remember that
despite the advancements and technology available to scientists today, it still
comes down to a faith decision. Do you
rely on the conclusions of other men, who suffer the same flaws of sin that you
do, or on what God has chosen to reveal to us?
