“Biblical astronomy,” says the celebrated Jewish commentator, Dr. Kalisch, “is derived from mere optical appearance.”
Geology.
“In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen. i, 1).
“And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit” (i, 11).
“And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth” (i, 20).
“And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle and creeping things” (i, 24).
“And God said, Let us make man in our image” (i, 26).
“In six days the Lord made heaven and earth” (Ex. xx, 11).
According to the Bible, the earth was created in six days about six thousand years ago. Geology tells us that the earth was old six million years ago.
