Re: Genesis 1:1 - a standing miracle

I would have to second this notion. We know that God would not
intentionally deceive the majority of humanity by placing false and
misleading signs to the nature of His universe. It is quite obvious that
the earth cannot be only a few thousand years old. Any line of reasoning
that supports such a view is blatantly incorrect.

Hence, Vernon, at the best your extrapolation is wrong --- or else, as
Don has stated this so-called "miracle" is not from God.
