I spoke to a skeptic who said, “I can’t believe the Bible because it teaches that the earth was created six thousand years ago.” I replied, “Where does the Bible say that?” He said, “In Genesis”. I remarked, “Show me.” Of course he couldn’t show me. He was poly-parroting what he thought that the Bible taught. So many times people reject the Bible because of what they think it says. Often times they have never read the Bible.
