Yes. The fact that man has no doubt tampered with it does not concern me after accepting Christ. It’s not a deal breaker. Do you believe the earth is only 6 thousand years old? That says God is a deceiver and He is not. Look at psalms? Filled with metaphor and poetry. Poetry and metaphor are not always literal but educates and reveals the all encompassing God and His relationship with you and me. I am spiritually educated by the stories. Spiritually enriched and brought closer to God. Don’t you find it interesting with just the fact that ancient cultures who could not have known Christ have a flood story and a recreation? They used that in their own spiritual reaching to appeal to a higher power and try to understand why they exist. They had some deep spiritual sense even then. God will reveal himself to them as well when Christ returns. That is the living God and timeless Christ I experience. Blessings.

Lol, you are saying God is deceiver because he made a 6,000 year old earth look older than that? Do you know what 6,000 years old looks like? Do you know there’s no verifiable way to prove the theory of carbon dating?

Nope. But He gave us brains to figure things out dude. Of course he could have flipped a finger to make anything he wanted but maybe he didn’t. I find the ancient quality that he had always been here comforting and awesome. Perhaps the real deceiver wants us to question what is in front of our very eyes. The Deceiver is doing a great job right now isn’t he. But you do you. We will know more later.

Of course God has always been here. You can keep that comfort.

You are the one questioning what is in front of your very eyes.
