And I will apologize if my wording previously makes it seem like I'm angry. Truth is that I am, but I believe it's just. It just makes me upset that I see people I agree with and disagree with both claiming they know the true interpretation when we all don't. Also, from people I've met some people really get angry if you offer a different interpretation. Some things are absolute, but everyone must realize you can go back to the original language and look up the meaning... I wish everyone well.
Ecoi.......I agree completely with you! go back to the original language and not only that, but the context, and make conclusions from that.....I hate when people don't understand this key element.
When you go to when Jesus talks, he would say something profound and yet a child could understand it. This is because it was important for everyone to understand it. But we all can grow as Christians and learn more about the universe. The how is not as important as the why. Why not make a Christian discussion (or debate) that as the body of Christ we evaluate the situation? We are one in Christ, not two or three, but one. No offense to the poster, but videos like these make that difficult.
This video is actually disappointing... Listening to it it sounds like it's saying, "look, stop believing in billions of years because we ourselves can interpret it correctly." The fact is BOTH sides have assumptions and BOTH are using their own interpretation to see what Genesis says. We're all one in Christ; why can't we have a Christian debate where we both realize that we both agree that salvation is through Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Savior?
YEC is just date setting and it brings disgrace to Christianity. Its exactly the same as when the church arrested Galileo. Its sad people need to join YEC cults instead of trusting God when he said he created the universe "in the beginning". Which was before the first day of assigning purpose to things. Traditions of Men die hard.
Can you prove that Creation happened in 6 days and that the earth is 6000 years old. !? Evolution's time scale has a logic yet Creation is a fairy story. Even processive Creation has a logic. The bible was written by men who knew nothing about the earth.
Even Saint Augustine, nearly 1500 years ago warned against taking the Genesis account too literaly. BB are you calling one of the greatest Christian theologians to have ever lived a liar too?
He wrote "De Genesi ad litteram" ("The Literal Meaning of Genesis"; «It is thus offensive and disgraceful for an unbeliever to hear a Christian talk nonsense about such things, claiming that what he is saying is based in Scripture. We should do all that we can to avoid such an embarrassing situation, lest the unbeliever see only ignorance in the Christian and laugh to scorn.»)

Search youtube for this and see that this earth is as the Bible says, only 1,000's of years old not millions!

When was the last time someone was a real Christian anyways? When was the last time you sacrificed a pair of turtle doves when you had your period?

your research to prove he said that please

What a persistent question, especially on an old posting. This leads me to wonder if you know truly who Saint Augustine actually is.
However, conduct the research for yourself. Start with The Literal Meaning of Genesis, City of God and the Confessions of Saint Augustine.
You will find that what was important for Saint Augustine was having a relationship with God and not the minutea of detail.
