Another aspect that I have not noticed included in this discussion is that if 6,000 years ago God created a cosmos that appears to be 6 billion years old, then was He trying to trick scientists? Why?
Not my intention to offend, but the way I see today's debates between evolutionists and young earther's is like two children back and forth in an argument. They simply have not considered the fossil evidence according to God's written Word. This is why the Gap idea in God's Word boggles both of their minds.
God left us evidence that His original creation is very old.
Fossilized dinosaur footprints that stepped on a perfect human arch footprint, fossilized at the same time, reveal humans existed back to the time of dinosaurs. Yet no human skeletal remains have been found with dinosaur fossils. What made the human footprint which the dinosaur stepped on then? Some YEC (young earth creationists) thus assume that dinosaurs must still be walking around on earth today. Seen any? Like I said, that kind of false assumption is childishness, just as childish as dating dinosaurs back 65 million years ago when they can't really prove it.
Now the woolly mammoths found buried in ice in the Arctic region are interesting, because they don't require a bunch of man's scientific thought to grasp that they represent a 'mystery' about earth history.
Woolly mammoths have been found frozen in the Arctic still with vegetation undigested in its stomach, and in its mouth, with no decay, revealing that it was frozen instantly while grazing in a green field in the Arctic zone near the North Pole. That evidence suggests an instant freeze, including the water surrounding it.
Not many realize that
tropical animal and plant fossils are found at both the earth's Poles. Scientists try to say that happened from the earth's crust shifting location over time. Sounds about like their false evolution theory, "well over a billion years an organism in the water became a man."
What does God's Word actually suggest happened that caused those above evidences?
In Revelation 21, God said in the future new heavens and a new earth there will be no more sea. That means no more oceans and seas upon the earth which cover about 70% of the earth's surface today. Where is all that water going to go? Back up in the sky ("firmament") where it originally was at God's original creation in the "beginning" of Genesis 1:1.
I had to take a weather class long ago required by my degree, and it shows that today's weather system upon the earth is caused by hot air and sun radiation hitting the land with hot air thus rising to meet cold air falling from above, and thus the swirling effects of storms, tornadoes, hurricanes. cyclone's, etc., and water evaporation rising to fill the clouds which eventually have to drop rain because of it. This happens because there are holes in the atmosphere around the earth.
But what would happen if all those holes in today's sky were plugged by the seas and oceans going up to fill them, causing a complete covered canopy around the earth? It would create a greenhouse effect, even temperatures around the whole... earth, even at the earth's Poles. The result? a literal tropical Paradise upon the whole earth. For me, that explains why tropical fossils are found at both the earth's Poles, and even in the deserts. I believe God's original creation was 'perfect'... prior to Lucifer's rebellion.
Then there's the matter that Apostle Paul taught in Romans 8:18-25 about God's creation, showing that God placed His creation into
"bondage of corruption", into "
vanity", and the whole creation groans today for a release from it. So when... did God do that? And what does that suggest how His creation was BEFORE He placed it into "
bondage of corruption"?
So I'm not really going out on a limb with this, God's Word points to a previous world earth age before Adam, when Lucifer was perfect in his ways in a perfect creation.
