And nothing in the Bible says that we have to reject the truth that the
Earth is billiosn of years old in order to be saved.
Yes Science was wrong back then but we can see that now just like we can
prove without a doubt that the Earth is more than just a few thousand years
old. Sorry but I'd take logic over blind faith anyday.

I had recently heard something about the flat earth theory. It is, of
course, false. There is nothing in the bible that says that the earth
is flat. Here is a verse that indicates that the bible shows
otherwise:
~
Isaiah 40:22
It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the
inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the
heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
~
I think where the flat earth theory came from was when the church
compromised the clear teaching of the bible for the modern-day
scientific beliefs. -- Which is the same thing a lot of Christians
seem to be doing these days, in trying to fit millions of years
between the seven days of Genesis, Chapter 1.
Remember, popular science was wrong then. It has not always been
fully right since then, even to this day. And, Christians always run
to false-hood when they try to modify the clear teaching of the God's
word to accommodate popular opinion.
Another example: In George Washington's time, they used to believe
that if you got sick, you had bad blood. And, they thought it could
be fixed by some of your blood. That is how George Washington died,
from getting his blood drained. Here is what the bible says about
that:
~
Genesis 9:4
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye
not eat.
~
It says that the life of the body is in the blood -- meaning, if you
lose enough, you will die.
How about holding on to your sanity and common sense and trying this:
Watch the first of the Creation seminar videos. If you find him
putting forth some false evidence, then stop watching the video
series, and tell me, so that I may know as well. But, if you don't
find anything false, then go forth with the in the same way to video 2
as so on, at your will.
