Instead of your sarcasm, twohumble, let's take a look at those four points.
1. God created the universe around 17 billion years ago, using the Big Bang. Dr. Ross was so convinced of this theory that he couldn't take the Bible literally. As a result, the rest of his view had to follow the evolution time scale.
There are several places in the Bible where direct reference is made to the creation week being 7 literal days, as we know them.
First the evening/morning markers in Genesis 1 itself
Second Exodus 11:20
Third, and not often noticed, Exodus 31. So I'll quote it, verses 14-17:
"Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people. For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. The Israelites are to observe theSabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested."
twohumble, a lot of people argue that Genesis 1 can refer to 'days' or 'yom' as being indefinite lengths of time. But this is directly refuted in the above. Thus I think the author of those four points is correct in pointing out that anyone adhering to the day/age theory after reading the Bible is spouting non-biblical doctrine.
2. Creation days are not 6 literal 24 hour days, but billions of years. The present age is the seventh day, which will continue until the end of the age.
If the present age is the seventh day, then God is still resting. This also contradicts the Bible.
John 5:16-18 -- "So, because Jesus was doing these tings on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him. Jesus said to them, 'My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.' For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own father, making himself equal with God."
Now we know that Jesus is the Creator (Col. 1: 15-19, John 1:1-3, Hebrews 1:1-3). Therefore it is logical to say that it was HE who rested that first Sabbath. Is Ross, or are you, willing to say that Jesus was NOT working during His incarnation? He said differently. If you need me to reference or quote the passages where He refers to Himself as working, I will do so.
You see, this is not simply a creation/evolution issue at all. It strikes at the very heart of biblical doctrine.
3. Death and bloodshed have existed from the beginning of creation and is not the result of sin. Man was created after the vast majority of earth's history of life and death had taken place.
At the end of creation week, it is recorded that God declared it 'VERY good.' If the end of creation week only took place after a couple of billion years of hundreds of billions of deaths, then God was necessarily referring to death as a part of that VERY good. And yet, we read in the Bible that death came as the result of sin, and that Jesus conquered death. Death evidently is not very good! In fact, we read in Revelation 20:14 that death itself is thrown into the lake of fire. By what twist of interpretation do Ross or you handle this?
Again, this is not a creation/evolution thing, but doctrine that is at the heart of the Bible, for if death came before sin, then Jesus' crucifixion was not necessary. If death was part of the 'very good' after creation week, then there is no reason for it to be thrown into the lake of fire.
4. The flood of Noah was local, not global, although it did kill all humans outside the ark.
Which is why Noah had to build an Ark? Moving himself and his family to another place (which is what the Lord told Abram to do...) would have been perfectly sufficient. However the language of Genesis 6-8 rather specifically denies a local flood. In Genesis 9:15 we read these words from the LORD:
I will remember my coven ant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
Now, we've had some pretty major flooding in areas of the world since that time. Sometimes the annual monsoons get a bit fierce and wipe out significant numbers of people and animals. Going back further in time, the Columbia Gorge was not carved by dripping waters! Actually, neither was the Grand Canyon.
In order for God's Word to be true, Noah's Flood was larger than these.
The Bible makes it extraordinarily clear, in fact, that it was more than local. Even the birds could not find dry land AFTER A YEAR.
The veracity of God's Word is at stake here. Ross, and evidently you, prefer to twist it to suit man's current understandings of the past.
But man will not judge you.
God will.
