What if Veloci-Raptor looked like this

The Apostle Peter and Christ (the Creator of this Earth) very definitely align with the historical account of the flood and destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as illustrated by Moses.

If Christ, the Creator of this Earth, isnt capable of approriately verbalising to us how old this earth is and whether or not Noahs flood and the desctruction of Sodom and Gomorah were real (as he did in Matthew 24)…if he cant do this in his own words, then clearly, Christ isnt God, His resurrection is nonsense, and there is no Second Coming or Salvation. Its all a lie.

Peter and Christ did clearly tell us how old the earth is… well you have to dig a little to understand it. Does Jesus come right out a say anything so plainly? Lets look at what He says:

• Mat 16:9 Do you still not understand? Do you not remember the five loaves for the five thousand,

Thats one loaf for one thousand. How many people does one loaf of bread normally feed? Its actually one loaf of bread that feeds one person for one day.

• Luke 11:3 Give us each day our daily bread.

Our daily bread is one loaf of bread, not what we think of today as a loaf but was like a flat pancake the size of a plate:

Lend Me Three loaves - Michael A. Verdicchio
The bread in the Bible was round and flat, like a pancake, about the size and thickness of a plate. Most people could only eat one of those “loaves,”

So, one loaf represents one day. Note that that one loaf (5 total) was provided by the disciples who were following the Lord, were with the Lord. For each disciple one loaf was food for one day. But for the thousand that one loaf feeds them or represents one thousand days, and there were still basketfuls of leftover broken pieces of bread. I see these broken pieces as days representing the pieces of one month.

• Mark 8:19 When I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many basketfuls of broken pieces did you collect?” “Twelve,” they answered.

There are of course twelve months in a year and this leftover bread was picked back up by the disciples. So really, the basketfuls of broken pieces represents one year, and that can be multiplied by one thousand to feed the multitudes of the earth.

• Mark 8:21 Then He asked them, “Do you still not understand?”

Its a piece of bread to understand.

I think this is what the five loaves for the five thousand and the twelve basketfuls of broken piece represent. I have not talked about the seven loaves for the four thousand but think that is some other lesson.

But I think Peter, one of the disciples, understood the five thousand and he lays it out for us as I have previously discussed here:

The creation days are an accurate and highly condensed timescale which can be unraveled here:

2Pe 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.

Is this just a poetic way of repeating the same thing but in reverse order? No, it’s both ways. The second instance of a thousand years corresponds to the one day with the Lord. So it’s …“and a thousand years (with the Lord) as one (Creation) day.” This makes sense because God is not bound by time. He can act slowly with a drawn out formative creation event, or very quickly with miracles. This is the plain meaning, but there is also a hidden formula here.

A “day with the Lord’’ is us spending a day with the Lord. We have been made in God’s likeness, so it’s our time, our day (same as Adam’s day) with the Lord that is measured as one thousand years of literal earth time. Earth time is to our time as our time is to God’s time.

Days to years: 365 (days in a year) x 1000 = 365,000 (literal years in a day)

1,000 years to 1 Creation day: 365,000 (years) x 1000 = 365,000,000 (365 million years)

So 1 Creation day is 365 million years. That wont add up to 4.5 billion years over 6 days. However, a day is not a constant as we go back millions of years:

Years ago	Hours in a year	Hours in a day	Days in a year
Today	8,766	24	365
100 million	8,766	23.33	376
200 million	8,766	22.66	387
300 million	8,766	22	398
400 million	8,766	21.33	411
500 million	8,766	20.66	424
600 million	8,766	20.33	431
700 million	8,766	20	438
0.8 - 1.5 billion	8,766	19	461
2.0 billion	8,766	18	487
2.5 billion	8,766	17	516
3.0 billion	8,766	15	584
3.5 billion	8,766	12	731
4.0 billion	8,766	10	877
4.5 billion	8,766	4	2192
13.8 billion	8,766	1	8766

By using the number of days in a year starting from the beginning of a Creation day we then get this (the time of Christ being the beginning of Day 7):

	Literal lenth of Day	Days in a year	Beginning of Day	End of Day
Day 7	365,000,000	365	0	-365,000,000
Day 6	411,000,000	411	411,000,000	0
Day 5	461,000,000	461	872,000,000	411,000,000
Day 4	461,000,000	461	1,333,000,000	872,000,000
Day 3	487,000,000	487	1,820,000,000	1,333,000,000
Day 2	516,000,000	516	2,336,000,000	1,820,000,000
Day 1	2,192,000,000	2,192	4,528,000,000	2,336,000,000
Beginning	8,766,000,000	8,766	13,294,000,000	4,528,000,000

In conclusion, the universe created “In the beginning” was 13.3 billion years ago, and the Earth was created at the beginning of Day 1, 4.5 billion years ago.
