Very unlikely.
The ideas @n2thelight is discussing here don't really relate to beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
Actually they do. Deeper in (and sometimes even at the surface level), Mormons believe that we all pre-existed as spirits and were, in fact, the angels that either stayed loyal to God in the first war or else rebelled and were cast out of heaven (the planet Kolob). info courtesy of Jack T. Chick.
Now I know that it is a common tactic of Mormons to act insulted when we state the truth of the matter; that Mormonism hides its true beliefs from the general public and slowly gives their doctrine to new converts as they feel they are able to receive it.
Since the doctrines of Mormonism are so out there that if they were given to people all at once, no one would convert.
Yes ,he did tell him(Job)everything right ,up until v24 .
Job 37:24 "Men do therefore fear Him: He respecteth not any that are wise of heart."
Elihu is telling Job that he is conceded and unrighteous and God doesn't respect those that are. Job's only defense through these entire thirty seven chapters was that he was a righteous man, and Elihus calling Job a liar. You talk about a man that is full of conceit, that had to be Elihu himself. In the end, Elihu let his own ignorance of Job and God be known..
Elihu rightly told Job that he wasn't righteous in this: that he justified himself rather than the Lord (Job 32:1-2). This is not something that Elihu originally said but something that he simply observed.
We know from simple scientific fact and physical evidence that this earth is millions of years old,
Have you never read:
1Ti 6:20, O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
Real scientific fact does not show an old earth. When we landed on the moon, they expected the space dust levels to be astronomical; but such was not the case. The amount of space dust reflected the moon having existed for about 6,000 years; which is right around the spectrum that creation scientists have speculated the age of the earth also to be.
But I am not an expert on these things so don't expect me to to do well in any kind of debate with you. I will leave those things up to the experts (like Ken Ham).
