Like I said I am still exploring this theory and checking out it's validity. I will always hold fast to a 6 day creation. There is no many problems with ages occurring on earth.Tim Rodenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820185737585003035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8710349280728594132.post-47750982837407227922009-09-12T20:34:00.033-05:002009-09-12T20:34:00.033-05:00Hi Tim -

Aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet while Tav represents the last letter. So it's quite appropriate to say Aleph-Tav is Alpha-Omega. A cursory look at the first chapters of Revelation indicate who Alpha-Omega is.<br /><br />We see the same symbol in Zechariah 12:10:<br /><br />...and they shall look upon me *AT* whom they have pierced...<br /><br />Of course, Zech 12:10 tells of Jesus Christ in prophecy. So we can extract that the Aleph Tav has a great deal of reference to Him. This would invoke the proposition that Jesus was the substance or the means by which Creation occured. Indeed, John tells us that "all things were made by him and there was not anything made that was made". This is a direct reference to Genesis 1:1.<br /><br />So with respect to your post, I don't think this allows quantum physics into the equation, unless we would refer to the Messiah through metaphysical means or though Einsteinian theory - something that is, of late, a teaching of New Age and Emergent Church doctrines.<br /><br />Evolutionists for years have been adding time to the argument of origins because, by adding unlimited amounts of physical time, they can add some sort of quasi-plausibility to macro-evolution.<br /><br />I, along with most creationists, can't accept Day-Age as any sort of viable explanation because of the actual contextual meanings of the Hebrew word 'yom' and its plural 'yammim'. In no case in the Bible are these words used where they meant someething else other than a literal day. When God established a period of light with a period of darkness as a "yom", that to me set up time itself. While God is supernatual and is not beholden to time, creation relies on absolute dimensions, including time to function<br /><br />Again, it doesn't preclude the metaphysical idea that you suggest here, but if all things exist through Aleph Tav, then we won't locate any sort of reconciliation between creation and Day-Age through quantum physics.<br /><br />Just my 2¢...<br /><br />Keep on writin'!<br /><br />-RAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
