Jesus AGE Verses Series: I
What does Jesus have to say about the age of the earth?
--In opposition have been various kinds of old-earth creationists advocating theistic evolution or progressive creation over millions of years, with many of them also arguing for a local Flood at the time of Noah.
*The old-earth views have dominated the church since the early 19th century, whereas the young-earth view was the almost universal belief of the church in the first 18 centuries.
As Ravi Zacharias correctly observes in his book which refutes atheism, “Jesus claimed to be ‘the truth.’ Let us test His claims and teachings. If they are true, what He says matters more than anything else in life.”
It will be argued that Jesus clearly was a young-earth creationist and that if we call Him Lord we should follow Him rather than the contemporary scientific majority, which primarily consists of unbelievers.
But he answered, It is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
Matthew 4:4"
