The Tulsa newspaper had an article in it on the age (strata) of the Grand Canyon.  Some say it is 70 billion years ago, (probably a misprint).  Some say it was carved 55 million years ago.  Others say 17 million years ago. Some say it is only 5 or 6 million years old.   Mercy.  All those dates in one article.

Fossils are dated by strata--the layer they are in.  It is a very inexact (!) science.  No one agrees or seems to be able to rectify the vast differences in the opinions concerning strata.  And we're supposed to date dinosaurs by the strata they are in?  Everyone does agree that they are very, very old.

Every fossil, every bone, creates this kind of disparity in opinions.  Todays' animals (mammals) aren't all that old in geological time.  Hence, the mad scramble science is having in trying to tie today's animals (by evolution theory) to the dinosaurs that vanished.

When God said, "...let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind..."  He didn't mean, "Dem' bones, dem bones, dem dry (dinosaur)  bones...". Many of these living creatures were new.   Only birds are considered scientifically to be dinosaurs.  (Look at the scaly leg of a chicken.)

Day six is ending.  But God isn't through yet.  Day six is a really big, big day.

Genesis 1:26-27 "And God said, Let us make man in our image after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle, and all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them."  This is the third time in the first chapter this word create is used.

And, what about that word "us."  And "our."  Recall John 1:1-3.  "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.  The same was in the beginning with God.  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."  The triune God.

More tomorrow.  Day six is a long day.  And I have a lot to say.  Bear with me.
