Questions that evolutionists and billions of years proponents cannot answer but disprove their theories.

This sets a precept of a day is a year.

Throughout the Bible both days and years are mentioned. So does every time that a day is mentioned in the Bible it actually means a year?

Like in Noahs flood saying that it rained for forty days, does it actually mean it rained for forty years?

Or like in the 40 days of Jesus, does it actually mean 40 years?
"To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God". Acts 1:3.

If a day usually means a day in the Bible but sometimes a day means a year then how is it determined which days still mean days and which days actually mean years?

It is in the area of prophecy where this occurs,
For example Christ rose the third day not the third year.

Is it not within the area of prophecy when Jesus talks about the future destruction of the temple and the raising of it in three days?
Or is Jesus rising and the temple prophecy unrelated. Does it mean the temple would have actually been raised in 3 years, not 3 days?

Jesus coming back from the dead is an item of faith for you. You have absolutely no proof that it happened. Thus, since it is not proven, it cannot be proof in turn of anything else.

There are recorded eye witness accounts.

Sure. It's called grief hallucinations. It is fairly common for people to see loved ones who have passed on. Are you familiar at all with Al Hallaj, the Sufi mystic? He had a lot of followers just like Jesus, and was put to death by the religious authorities for blasphemy. There were many sightings of him after his death. Sound familiar?

That is just bizarre.
They were with Christ for 40 days. The apostles, other disciples, and over 500 at one time.
Go see the Case For Christ. There is a scene where your conjecture is shown to be bizarre.

 

[ratiocinator]

They were with Christ for 40 days. The apostles, other disciples, and over 500 at one time.

According to an old book written well after the events and edited and selected by believers.

 

[IndigoChild5559]

That is just bizarre.

Not at all. Like I said, grief hallucinations are really pretty common.

 

[SavedByTheLord]

Not at all. Like I said, grief hallucinations are really pretty common.

And thus you have been refuted.
It was not just 1 person 1 time
it was not just 1 person several times
It was not just 2 people 1 time
It was over 12 people many times over 40 days with over 500 at one time.
That has never happened.

 

[IndigoChild5559]

And thus you have been refuted.

Seriously, I am concerned about you. Your replies are becoming increasingly irrational.

I agree.
It never happened.

Mass hallucinations as implied by a poster never happened.

I agree.
I also agree that the One Ring was not carried by Hobbits.
I also agree that Voldemort never killed Harry Potter.
I also agree that Dorothy did not land a house on a witch.
I also agree that Heat Miser does not melt everything by merely touching it.

Funny how there is so many make believe people for the “scientific” evolutionists.

If I am going to go with make believe, I am going to go all out.
Better than hanging my hat on one that I have to constantly lie for in order to maintain my belief.

 

[metis]

Go see the Case For Christ.

I read it and discussed it with a friend, and I definitely wasn't at all impressed as it was chocked full of speculation on top of more speculation. Theologians fully understand that interpretations can all so often vary, so if I were to claim my interpretation must be right, then please ignore me.

What you are doing is trusting legends as if they are history. Legends often have a kernel of truth that they wrap around, in this case that kernel is grief hallucinations. The idea that 500 saw him at the same time? Never happened. Do you also believe that Washington chopped down the cherry tree?

Ever read or watch "The Power of Myth" by Campbell and Moyers? That's their point, and it's sometimes all too easy for forget the ancient use of storytelling as both an art form and also for the purpose of passing on moral teachings.

Yes! In fact I LOVED Campbell's "Power of Myth." I think he has a lot of profound insights.
