Agreed. One can ONLY "connect the dots" one can see.
In the beginning was the Word. Do you think the Word, though always being the Living Word, and becoming God in the flesh also, was make like a son who has to start at the bottom of a big business and learn everything from the ground up, and we may be given partial recordings of such events?
If so, do you think that, wait, do you think there was an age before this one?[/QUOTE]
Do I think there was an earth/heaven age
before the one we're currently in?
Yes! I most certainly do. Perhaps? Even more then one.
Where do you think Greek Mythology came from? Same planet. Different age. Zeus
wasn't "king of the gods!"
Thought he was though! More so like the "dragon" that "swept away" a 1/3rd of the stars of heaven with his "tail/tale." aka the
attempted "overthrow."
Jeremiah 4
23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger.
27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate;
yet will I not make a full end.
28
For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of the horsemen and bowmen; they shall go into thickets, and climb up upon the rocks: every city shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein.
30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou do? Though thou clothest thyself with crimson, though thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, though thou rentest thy face with painting, in vain shalt thou make thyself fair; thy lovers will despise thee, they will seek thy life.
31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, that bewaileth herself, that spreadeth her hands, saying, Woe is me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers.
This is the earth/heaven age
just prior to the one we're in currently.
Dinosaurs? Same planet. Different age.
