The question of the age of the Earth is an important one, not only scientifically but also theologically. Here are five questions I recommend for meditating on this question.
Five Questions to Ask about the History of Genesis 1-2
- How does the text present itself? As history or something else?
- How does the rest of the Bible treat Genesis 1-2? How does Jesus treat it?
- What is the relationship of death and sin?
- Am I willing to be thought a fool?
- Why are plants, fruit, and seeds created on day three (before the sun)?
