Young Earth Theory

Hey Ladies,

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one around who is or will be teaching my children the literal sense of the bible, i.e., that Creation took 7 literal days which makes the Earth approximately 6,000 years old, NOT millions or billions years old. Are any of you on the same page as I? If you wish to email me directly, that is fine too. yeshua4@comcast.net:) I was at the Museum of Science and Discovery on a field trip (secular) and the teacher in class kept talking about how the earth was billions of years old and my 6 year old was looking at me like "what is this guy talking about?" I wanted to run out of there right at that moment. Needless to say, I should have known better since it's a secular group although I know there are many Christians who do believe the Earth is billions of years old because they take Genesis figuratively & that's okay. It's really not a big deal, having nothing to do with salvation, BUT when it comes to teaching science to our own kids, you really need to be in the know! Just curious and looking for support:)

Thanks for listening...

Suzy

Hi Suzy,
Sorry to say, this is the first time I have looked at this in a while so I am just now reading your post. Have you heard Pastor Dan's teachings on Genesis?
It is in the archived teachings on the web page: http://www.calvaryjupiter.org/templates/System/details.asp?id=41991&PID=575227
I think that you will appreciate what he teaches in regards to what the Bible says. You are sooo right about us needing to be in the know. I, personally, want my kids to have information and understanding so that they are not ignorant to the various arguments that people will inevitably throw at them some time in the future...but they must know and understand the Truth which has been so perfectly explained in His Word. I'm with ya! Hope that all makes sense...

Hi suzy,

haven't been here in a while either, just read your blog today. I have to say I am pretty clueless when it comes to Gods word. I will be learning our history with my children. but I feel the same as Tara. I want my children grounded in truth, so they won't be swayed from it when other perspectives come there way. You are not the only one!
