Have you ever been in a discussion with people regarding the age of the earth or whether or not there was a pre-Adamic creation? The best advice I can give to you is STOP! Look at Psalm 102:25-28:
25 At the beginning You existed and laid the foundations of the earth; the heavens are the work of Your hands. 26 They shall perish, but You shall remain and endure; yes, all of them shall wear out and become old like a garment. Like clothing You shall change them, and they shall be changed and pass away. 27 But You remain the same, and Your years shall have no end. 28 The children of Your servants shall dwell safely and continue, and their descendants shall be established before You.

We will never convince some people by arguing about Scripture, so let's talk about what we CAN agree on! Right here the Word of God says explicitly that HE was already there "at the beginning"! GOD knows and that's enough! The important thing for US to know is that when all is said and done, HE will remain! Amen! Determine for yourself that God's Word is Truth (John 17:17) and has NO contradictions. What appears to be a contradiction is an area of MY (YOUR) ignorance! BUT, through it all, HE KNOWS! By putting HIM first and trusting in HIM to deliver, we can rest assured that OUR end will be better than our beginning! Look at the promises from Deuteronomy 11:18-21:
18 Therefore you shall lay up these My words in your [minds and] hearts and in your [entire] being, and bind them for a sign upon your hands and as forehead bands between your eyes.19 And you shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you rise up. 20 And you shall write them upon the doorposts of your house and on your gates, 21 That your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.
What GREAT promises! And WE have an even BETTER Covenant, based on BETTER promises (Hebrews 8:6)! We are, of all people, MOST BLESSED! Amen! Let's show it! Here is Hillsong United with "Nothing Like Your Love":
Shalom in Him!
