The Huge Difference between an
Old Earth timescale and a
Young Earth Timescale
Old Earth
If the Earth is 4.5 billion years old, then if all of history
were figuratively represented in a
24-hour day:
The Big Bang would have occured at:
00:00.00.000
And the appearance of mankind would
have occured at:
23:59.59.875
[23 hours, 59 minutes, 59.875 seconds]
Young Earth
If the Earth is 6,000 years old, then:
God created at:
00:00.00.00
And mankind was made at:
00:00.00.23
[zero hours, zero minutes, and 0.23 seconds]
The huge difference between Old and Young earth
timescales can be seen here.
If the earth is 4.5 billion years old, then
mankind has only appeared very recently, so men and women would
not have come into existence in the beginning, but rather towards the end!
If the earth is 6,000 years old, and mankind was made on the 6th day by God, then men and women came into existence in the beginning!
Matthew 19:4
"Have ye not read, that He which made them at
the beginning made them male
and female" KJV
""Haven't you read, He replied, that at the
beginning the Creator made them male and female?" NIV
Here we see that Jesus says that the Creator
made man and woman "In the beginning".
Which of the above timescales fits
that statement by Jesus?
The Old earth model with
mankind not appearing in the beginning, but only very recently?
or
The Young earth model, with mankind being made during God's creative week?
