Nature—It’s Flawed by the Curse

Some Christians view nature as the 67th book of the Bible. But in this view, nature is on the same level as God’s Word! They support this false claim with verses that say nature declares there is a Creator.

Now, they argue this partly because they believe the fossil record is millions of years old. And since the fossil record is part of nature, which they believe is the 67th book, they say God’s revelation tells us the earth is very old.

Well, God’s Word also tells us creation groans from sin. You can’t claim a fallen creation is on the same level as the infallible Word of God! The Bible makes it clear that the universe is only thousands of years old . . . death and fossils came after sin.
