That means Yoruba History was right.

In the beginning, the universe consisted only of the sky, the water, and the wild marshlands. The God Obatala believed that the world needed more–he goes to Olorun, ruler of the sky and creator of the sun, asking for permission to create mountains, valleys, forests, and fields. Olorun grants Obatala permission to create solid land on Earth.

That was what the Bible said In Genesis chapter 1

Yes. It appears whoever wrote Genesis had some insight. His/their only error was the timing. It appears he/they could not think far back so they placed it all at a few thousand years back.

Genesis 1:1 King James Version (KJV)
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth

God bless you.... In the beginning meaning heaven and Earth creation it could be billions of years and there's no human life existing.... But God created man after he made dry land from the ocean of the earth......

This epistle now confirm that the Bible histories are true.

ezeomaigbo:
This is consistent with biblical account of early Earth. We read in the book of Genesis that water covered the Earth surface and was later separated to give oceans and dry land. This is where science and religion meet.

Which of the religions are you talking of? Is it the Judeo-Christian one? If yes, then barely one chapter later in their holy book, it had already started disagreeing with science.

By the time you get to Noah's ark and the flood story, both have already gone their separate ways.

Don't force it. Just let science be what it is, knowledge based on facts gathered through observation and experimentation and let the Bible stories be what they are, a ~~moral~~ guide for its adherents. Don't try to marry both of them forcefully as it will only end up exposing inconsistencies that lie within the Bible.

DeeMain:
Geologic earth history and the biblical earth history are not contradictory of each other in my view.

The 6 days of creation in the bible, for example, could have happened over billions of years. And there were times when the world was covered with water in the biblical narrative and later when sea creatures filled the seas, long before man was created.

So don't take the number of days literally.

A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. Psalms 90:4

The Genesis account does appear to contain some insights. However, it does contain a few errors, and the timeline is only one of them. I don't think Ps 90:4 applies to the Genesis creation story because Genesis specifically says the days were literal.

Science is more crazier than religion in a weird way.

All we ask you to do is make food available and help man figure out how to make it go round everyone.

How are you different from religion..the same thing religion was told ensure everyone gets his due.

Rather it was more concern about "the heaven" l. Science is toeing that line. With exploration of time space, galaxy, black holes, extra territorial and shiiit.

Give food to mankind and make it go round. That was all you were were ask to do.

If a science Christ were to come it will dismantle all this rubbish science is building. Just as the religious Christ dismantle theirs and refered them back to there neigbours.

"...And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the DEEP. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the WATERS." Gen 1:2

The bible is very clear in the book of Genesis that the earth was a 'waterworld'

Reading Genesis 1: 6 - 10 will make you understand how God separated the waters on the earth from the waters in the firmament, and how he demarcated the waters on earth to bring about dry ground.

6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.

What about the pre Adamic world?

Re: Earth Was A 'Waterworld' Covered By A Global Ocean 3.2 Billion Years Ago by kokomilala(m): 11:01am On Mar 03, 2020

But the Omniscient, who made everything relayed it in His Word: Job 38:6-11,Psalm 104:6-9.Need I mention Genesis 1?
The earth had been existing in a chaotic state long before Genesis 1.The Deep Sea covered it with darkness. Under the Deep Sea,some of the fallen angels took,and still take aboard. They are light years ahead of our world. They are responsible for many advances in science,technology, pharmaceuticals,sports etc.

Where did the water go to? Cos according to biogeochemical cycle, nothing on earth is ever wasted cos it's a closed system.

Good observation sir, although, the water probably gathered into packets (oceans, seas, rivers, streams, etc) but the gathering couldn't have been by random happenstance.
This is where I fault the original concept of evolution. I believe in both creation and also evolution (not the widely believed theory of evolution though). There is not primordial soup without a cook, no big bang without a big banger, no evolution without an intelligent designer. God started it all.
The word evolution is however too ambiguous. Speciation is a big question. If you understand evolution well, speciation leading to evolution is somehow too ambiguous in natural selection. In life, it is possible that animals change the phenotype in response to environmental conditions but this shouldn't bring about a different species altogether. When God created Adam and Eve. He created one race but because of adaptation, we now have blacks, orange, whites,yellow and all different skin colors. That is acquisition of phenotypic traits ,due to adaptation to different environmental exposures, which is possible in organisms. This ,however, will not see a new species arise. Concept of species has to do with a unique life form that can freely interbreed in the wild amongst themselves. Ever since God created man, we have adapted and we can interbreed, no new human species have been formed. All discovered fossils are unique species created as they were.

One day Science will eventually declare totally The Bible as its Book of Reference.

Now Read Biblical Account.

Genesis 1:2

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

Where does the Bible say the spirit of God was moving.

Upon the Ground?

Upon the Rocks?

It says the spirit of God was moving upon the waters. The earth was without FORM It is the Land (Rocks and ground formation) that gives the world a Form.

But here the Bible says the World was without form. Doest water have Form? No!
And the Spirit of God moved upon the waters.

You can do nothing against the Truth but for the Truth.
The Word of God is the Truth and the Life.

No sir. According Gen 1:1 In the BEGINNING, God created the Heavens and the Earth. Take note Heavens, not one Heaven. and he did that in the beginning.

The creation is 6,000 years but not earth. Earth was created in the beginning. it could be trillion years before Man

Not necessarily a kid. I think he is arguing from the creationist idea. He might not be wrong. The missing line between evolutionalists' timeline and creationists' timeline is actually in the emergence of calendars. No one knows what type of calendar was used at the time of creation. Was it 12months calendar, were they using months or seasons as at then? What was the measurement tool for times then? Our one year now might have equated more years or less then. Who knows?

All i wanna do is live for the moment and enjoy my own time on earth as much as i can. This moment will still become history for the upcoming ones in years to come...

Until around over 2000 years ago? did history or any story said earth started during the time of Jesus?

The Atheists won't see this and know they are just been stubborn upon nothing. This is the time you won't hear anything from their mouths.

They deceive themselves trying to be wiser than their maker.

They Rely solely on what Science tells them.

Now Science is confirming Biblical account, they shamefully hide their faces.
