Its important to note that Old Earth also rejects evolution.
Yes, I think more needs to be specified to be clear. If mature creation is correct, it seems to me that "old" or "young" depends on what the referent of that age is. On this view, the duration of time since Creation is "young" (or the beginning of Creation is "recent") while the created things themselves are "old." Since "old" tends to create a confusing time referent, it is probably better to say the created things themselves are mature (or were created mature). Might not be a bad idea to create a thread dedicated to mature creation at some point; I think it has been a while since the last one dedicated to it.chuckd said:It appears to be billions of years old, but it was created in 6 days. I don't know if that makes it young or old.
I believe God created an old earth around 10,000 years ago. I wonder why I don't hear my theory more often. Would a one year old earth be able to handle creation being on it? I'm no scientist but I think God could have easily made an earth that could technically been older, if that makes sense.

I feel like it couldn't be long. They were given the command to be fruitful and multiply. If it had been billions/thousands of years and they hadn't had a child, they'd be disobeying God. And if they had children before the fall, it would seem that the children wouldn't be born with original sin. MyThe only thing I feel like I don't pretty much know is, how long were Adam and Eve in the Garden before the Fall? Could have been a long time, or a day. Any insights or thoughts appreciated.
That verse is clearly just talking about the blood of the prophets that has been shed in all of time. The word "from" appears to mean since then (the foundation of the world) to now.The New Testament speaks of prophets and sacrifices back to the beginning of creation...
"...so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation..." ESV
Doesn't fit as well in an old age view, Abel dying around the foundation of the world...
"...blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world...."

Walt keeps an online version of the book updated often here:In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood (8th Edition): Walt Brown: 9781878026095: Amazon.com: Books
Best book I ever saw on this. He gets into all the scientific arguements. Brilliantly done.
