  Colossians 1:15-17 (ESV) (Jesus as Creator) “  He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”

  Job 38: 4-11 (ESV) "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy? "Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb, when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band, and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors, and said, 'Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed'?

  Why Not anOld Earth? UNDERMINES THE AUTHORITY OF SCRIPTURE: Requires death before the Fall of Man Taints God’s character by using death and struggle for survival as means of achieving a “very good” creation Contradicts a plain reading of Genesis 1 Renders the Ten Commandments as allegory (Exodus 20:11) 5.

  8 "Remember theSabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your animals, nor the alien within your gates.   12 "Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.   13 "You shall not murder.   14 "You shall not commit adultery.   15 "You shall not steal.   16 "You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.   17 "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor." 11 For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.

  … .. Yetwe are here as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation ... Most modern biologists, having reviewed ..the downfall of the spontaneous generation hypothesis, yet unwilling to accept the alternative belief in special creation (God) , are left with nothing.  I think a scientist has no choice but to approach the origin of life through a hypothesis of spontaneous generation .”

  Genesis 1: 11-12,20-25 11 Then God said, "Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds . " And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds . 20 And God said, "Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky." 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds , and every winged bird according to its kind . And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth." 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.   24 And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds : livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind ." And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds , the livestock according to their kinds , and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds .

  "The consensus ofthe intelligentsia is not necessarily correct, no matter how many believe it, or for how many years the belief is held. It may still be wrong. In fact, it may be very wrong. And we must never forget it. Because it will happen again. And indeed it has.“ Brian P. Levack
