The date comes from the AGREEMENT of Scripture, Science and History. God tells us that EVERY living creature was created and brought forth from the water on the 5th Day. Science has dated the appearance of the FIRST living creatures on our Planet as appearing, in the water, some 3.7 Billion years ago.
That's just one of many theories, any or none of which may be true.
Besides, Genesis also says that vegetation came first(on Day 3), even before the Sun, Moon, and Stars (Day 4).
That's nonsense. Plants are living creatures, and were around before animals, but were also around well
after the Stars (which were first), Sun, and Moon (which formed when another planet collided with ours).
The men who actually penned what the Holy Spirit "moved" them to write down,
I've seen no indication that this is true, and every indication that they were well aware of what they were writing.
I don't go much on linguistics because that would mean that the Jews understood Scripture best, and yet they called for the crucifixion of their own God and have yet to learn that Today remains the 6th Day, until the Messiah returns and changes all animals into Vegetarians as Gen 1:30 clearly shows.
Honestly, your decision to not focus on linguistics pretty much nullifies your entire argument in my opinion, since understanding the linguistics is essential to understanding what the books are actually saying.
In other words, because you don't focus on the linguistics, you don't actually know what Genesis 1:30 says.
They're not, that's what the Holy Spirit tells us in Jude. They've been in chains in Hell and will stay there until the Judgment.
Jude wrote what the Holy Spirit told him to write from inside him. Remember that the Holy Spirit is also the Spirit of Truth, God's Truth.
Jude just wrote down his own beliefs. Far as I'm concerned, the Spirit of Truth is Wonder Woman.
Then, you have just admitted that you think God is just lying. Right?
I don't think Elohim wrote any of the Bible. How, then, can I think he was lying?
Of course, even if he did write it, Gods are very capable of lying.
The sons of God (prehistoric people) diverged from Chimps (Chimp evolution went one way and prehistoric people went the other) some 6 Million years ago according to Science. Lucy, for example, is some 4 Million years old.....BUT... prehistoric people were NOT Humans, (descendants of Adam) Were they?
There's no evidence that Adam existed, and therefore there's no reason to regard us as his descendents from a scientific perspective. Therefore, every other indication has shown that those "prehistoric peoples" you speak of were very much human.
And you demonstrate again a severe misunderstanding of the sciences.
I try to always post
Gen 3:22 to show what human intelligence is. It MUST be inherited from another Human. Here it is:
Gen 3:22¶And the LORD God (YHWH/JESUS) said, Behold, the man (Adam) is become as one of Us, (Trinity) to know good and evil:
Jesus is speaking to the Father and the Holy Spirit and saying that Adam has an intelligence like God's intelligence, which allows one to know the difference between good and evil. It's the difference between God and animals, since animals are innocent, because they don't have this ability. Animals are programmed an entirely different way than Humans are intellectually.
Jesus is not in the Tanakh.
I'm afraid that doesn't fit. If human intelligence involved knowing good and evil, then we would expect to see the exact same systems of morality throughout history. In fact, we don't. Different cultures have very different ideas as to what's good and what's evil.
Because Jesus tells us Angels don't marry (have sex) and that those who left their first estate are in chains under the darkness. Jesus also speaks of the sons of God and Humans in this way:
Genesis 6 King James Version (KJV)
6 And it came to pass, when men (Adam) began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
2 That the sons of God (prehistoric man) saw the daughters of men (Adam) that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
3 And the Lord (YHWH/Jesus) said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Fallen Angels are not flesh, since flesh cannot enter heaven, 1Co 15:50 thus could not Fall from heaven, but prehistoric man was flesh, and could produce children with Humans, the descendants of Adam, the first Human, as the above verses show. The sons of God (prehistoric man of Flesh) was created and brought forth WITH every other creature (animal) on the 5th Day. Gen 1:21
I've still been given no reason to regard this as anything more than your personal interpretation.
