It's funny how the ICR worries about "God lying to us" because of a book written by men, but don't have a problem with being lied to if the earth is really six thousand years old but appears be much older because of fossils, geology, DNA, radioisotopes, etc. Wouldn't all of that evidence also be a lie, if it proved not to be true?
The Pentateuch, although attributed to Moshe, was written by at least 5 authors. This is incredibly easy to prove, not just because of the very disparate writing styles, but also because the 5 books were finished AFTER Moshe died. LOL.
So, men wrote holy books.
I fail to see why Fundamentalistic Christians, who are very quick to remind that Jesus taught in parables, suddenly want to take everything else quite literally. What if one day as described by Ad-shem actually means 1 billion years of our time? Hmmm???
Creationism is a belief system, not a science. To try to turn it into a science is just plain old batshit crazy.
To use scientific methods, however, to support what is purported in the Torah, is absolutely acceptable, in my opinion. But there is a strong difference between the two.
Do you believe that Adam was an atom? Please enlighten the world with your undeniable truth and wealth of eyewitness knowledge, oh sage.
