And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Gen. 1:31 KJV)
But when God revealed why He would kill all life on the earth with a flood, it was because life had been corrupted, become violent:
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. (Gen. 6:11-13 KJV)
So the Fossil Record DOES NOT reveal what God created, it reveals what became of His created (peaceful) life forms AFTER the fall.
So what corrupted them? Some unknown principle of the Fall, or was it connected to the Nephilim contemporaries with the “sons of God” angels in Genesis 6:1-4?
On my site I offer an explanation:
But that is one possibility among many. What do you all say?
In the creation, I believe The Lord could very well have created fossils. His purpose was for their to be another potential, scientific explanation outside of what He has said in the Bible. This creates a potential path for doubt or faith.
It’s in the realm of possibilities of course but most Christians would not like to admit their God deliberately lies to create some kind of a faith test.
No you squirmed around JayJay’s response with “light” and “dark” so I’m asking for clarification. Do you believe God planted fake evidence so that people could doubt him? It’s a simple yes or no.
Everything is of The Light or it’s not…everything. I believe that God created the heavens and the earth and all that’s in it. Now you can interpret what ever you want from what ever you choose. All I’m saying is that anything that’s as incredible and hard to fathom as a virgin giving birth to The Son of God proves that nothing is impossible.
