Also, we can ask some questions which will allow the Reader to understand the issues regarding the age of the universe and earth based on the evidence we have from the Bible and from the remnants of the previous earth ages. These include:
Questions regarding the length of time of the Age of the Angels (earth's creation until earth was shut down after the fall of Satan and his angels):
Questions about the length of the Age of Angels:
How long did it take for Satan to become arrogant and revolt against God?
Did the angelic war which followed the revolt last a long time or a relatively shorter time?
Questions about the length of the period of the Ice Age (between the fall of angels and the renovation for man)?
After the fall of Satan, the fallen angels were sentenced to the Lake of Fire, but Satan appealed the sentence. How long would God wait to begin Satan's appeal trial?
Fossils can form rather quickly (especially under water), so they cannot show millions of years, just thousands. Dinosaurs and man were not on the earth at the same time. Did fossils form during the Ice Age or were they already formed as fossils?
The Ice Age had no sun, so chemical processes would have been very slow. Fossilization seems unlikely during that time.
The Ice Age moved land around in certain areas which buried some things and revealed others, and the Great Flood also moved some things around. Does the earth's surface reveal any clues?
The entire surface of the earth was under ice according to Genesis 1:2 "the face of the deep" so does an earth covered in ice change or remain static during that time?
Do the angels dislike water? Ice? Current angelic prisons are under waters, and the earth was encased in ice. Is this just an oddity?
OK, that is the Reader participation & speculation portion, and now we go back to what the Bible more clearly reveals.
To review, during the expanse of time so far there have been two creations of beings with souls. These are angels and humans. To house these two creations of souled creatures there has been one original creation of the universe for angels and one restoration of that first universe for human habitation. There have been two complete creations of plant and animal life. There have been two rebellions against God by souled creatures. There have been battles waged in space. The elapse of time to the current point may have been millions of years, or much less. However, man has only been around for 6000 years of that broad expanse of time. Yet we know that any and all of the possibilities are consistent with what the Bible reveals.
