Some Christians say that most, or all,
ancient theologians believed in a young earth. He Lives pokes
some serious holes in that argument, this time as given by Southern
Baptist leader Al Mohler.
I'll repeat the arguments in my own words.
Mohler: Ancient theologians believed in a young earth, and so should we.
He Lives: So what? They had no reason to believe anything else. And, not only did ancient theologians believe in a young earth, but they believed that the earth was the center of the universe. By Mohler's logic, we should also believe in geocentrism, which Mohler presumably does not believe.
Read He Lives. Thanks.
Musings on science, the Bible, and fantastic literature (and sometimes basketball and other stuff).
God speaks to us through the Bible and the findings of science, and we should listen to both types of revelation.
The title is from Psalm 84:11.
The Wikipedia is usually a pretty good reference. I mostly use the World English Bible (WEB), because it is public domain. I am grateful.
