Guests: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer
Description: Doug Sharp’s book Don’t Let Your Geology Mess Up Your Theology reveals that there is a geology story in the Bible that is quite specific.It makes statements that causes you to make a choice. Either you believe it to be true or believe that it is false. A third choice is to read into it a different intrepretation other than its straightforward meaning. For example, the very first verse, “In the beginning God created the heaven and earth” refutes atheism, materialism, Deism, uniformitarianism, historical geology and the chemical origin of life from non-life. Exodus 20:11, part of the ten commandments, says, “For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested on the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the seventh day and hallowed it.” Either you believe this or you don’t. Attempts to reconcile the historical geology narrative with the Bible fall far short. These unsatisfactory explanations do not help those who wish to remain on the fence.
