The problem is in your OP question.
There will never be absolute proof of either creation or otherwise. That is the way God intended it to be. The door is open for you to make a choice
between either believing God or believing scientific fact. Let me explain:
This life is a test. The test began with Adam and Eve. They were given information by God, and they had a choice to believe it or disbelieve it. They
chose to disbelieve God and to believe Satan. They believed that the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge was not going to make them die. That free will
choice was essential to proving if they loved God, or loved themselves more.
We are undergoing tests daily. God has shown us throughout the Bible that these are tests of love, to see if you love Him or if you love the messenger
that counters what He said. For example, Deuteronomy 13:1-3.
1 If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, 2 And the sign or the wonder come to
pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; 3 Thou shalt not
hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with
all your heart and with all your soul.
So, today our dreamers of dreams who are presenting opposing views would be scientists with theories, backed up with scientific facts. When they
prove these facts, they disprove the Bible, and by disproving the Bible they replace it with another set of beliefs (other gods, so to speak) that you
will serve. You will believe that man is an evolved animal, that there is no God, and morals are defined by man, to name a few things.
So, we can deduce from this that
the scientific data will be right. It will state that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old. Tests
will prove it. Evolution will be proven, with transitional forms. Scientists will absolutely prove that man came from apes. However, God said He
made it in 6 days. Who will you choose to believe? If you choose to believe it is old, do you lose faith in the Bible? Of course you do. Who wants you
to lose faith in the Bible? The same entity that wanted Adam and Eve to lose faith in God.
So, God made the world aged. The starlight was enroute and already arrived. Adam was able to eat ripe fruit and name existing animals. Animals were
able to eat grass and herbs that were fully mature. Adam and Eve were not embryonic, but were fully grown. Atomic structures had moved through much of
their half-lifes, etc. Everything, including a fossil record, was aged and in existence. Why? Well, logically, if it all scientifically tested to be
around 6000 years old, you wouldn't have a choice, would you?
Well, God can do anything He wants. It is no big problem for Him to make an aged world. Take a look at the earth from space in this photo
grebz.fr... and with an understanding that God made the entire universe, do you see a problem with Him having
the ability to make this world aged?
Lucky for us, there is a help for the Christian believer from Jesus on this very important topic. Jesus gives the believer some confidence. The
Bible says that Jesus made everything that was made:
Colossians 1:16 For
by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether
they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him
all things consist.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3
All
things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the
light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Well, in the New Testament we find a curious verse: John 2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his
glory; and his disciples believed on him.
So, the first miracle He did in the Old Testament was making the creation of everything. The first miracle He did in the New Testament was the
miracle at Cana, where He turned water into wine. Let's look further: The creation occurred in 6 days. There were six waterpots of water turned
into wine. The creation was made aged. The wine was made aged. The water was turned into wine in a town named Cana. The meaning of Cana is "to
create, build".
Believe in the scientific facts. I do. I absolutely believe that the scientific facts show the world is 4.5 billion years old, and that the universe
is over 13 billion years old. I believe the fossil record shows that man and animals have either gone through an extinction process from their
original creation, or else they have evolved. I believe the scientific data shows this quite conclusively. However, God said He made it in six days.
He made it aged. There never was a conflict between creationists and scientific data. Even the Bible says that in 1 Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep
that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and
oppositions of science falsely so called: 21
Which some professing have erred concerning the faith.
The oppositions of science are not oppositions. They are called that falsely. The have nothing to do with what God said. In fact, they cause you to
"err concerning the faith." You have abandoned the Almighty God, who made the world aged, and put your faith in other "gods," if you will,
leading you to disbelieve in the God that made you and loves you.
Return unto me and I will return unto you, saith the Lord.
