1, The Earth is only 6000 years old.
Genesis 5:9-26
9 When Enosh had lived 90 years, he became the father of Kenan. 10 And after he became the father of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 Altogether, Enosh lived 905 years, and then he died.
12 When Kenan had lived 70 years, he became the father of Mahalalel. 13 And after he became the father of Mahalalel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14 Altogether, Kenan lived 910 years, and then he died.
15 When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he became the father of Jared. 16 And after he became the father of Jared, Mahalalel lived 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17 Altogether, Mahalalel lived 895 years, and then he died.
18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he became the father of Enoch. 19 And after he became the father of Enoch, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 Altogether, Jared lived 962 years, and then he died.
21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah. 22 And after he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.
25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech. 26 And after he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters.
First of all lets think about what Jesus said.
Matthew 5:17
[ The Fulfilment of the Law ] "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them.
As The law is The Torah and this passage is part of The Torah, Jesus must have came to fulfil this passage.
Enos means A son
Cainan means Striking fast
Mahalaleel means The Praise of God... See more
Jared means Descending
Enoch means Favoured
Methuselah. Means one sent forth
Lamech means of the almighty
So the genealogical order says “A son striking down. The Praise of God descending
Favoured one sent forth of the almighty.”
So in fact the genealogies that Usher used point to Christ and not to a young Earth..
2, The Devil invented the theory of the big bang.
The Big Bang Theory came out of the 'hypothesis of the primeval atom'. Proposed by a Roman Catholic priest.
John 10:10
10The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Satan kills, steals and destroys. He doesn’t create things. Especially scientific theories.
3, Everything was vegetarian before the fall.
The basis for this belief is this from the King James Bible
Genesis 1:29
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the
face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to
you it shall be for meat.
The NIV says
Genesis 1:29
29 Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
In old English the word ‘meat’ just meant ‘food’
Also there is no indication from that verse that everything else was vegetarian.
If meat eating is a result of the fall then canine teeth must also be a result of the fall. Creatures changing dietary habits and developing characteristics to match is usually called biological evolution.
4,Nothing died before the fall
Such a belief is obtained by these verses.
evolution.
Romans 5:12
[ Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ ] Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned—
Romans 5:17
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
Symbolically first Adam is everyone and Second Adam is Christ.
If somebody wants to take these verses as literal, they still do not indicate that nothing died before a certain time. Besides, the myth says that Adam lived for another 800 or so years after the fall, so he didn’t die right away. The death was spiritual.
