So here we have a comment from the typical atheist on a university campus these days:

"LOL. Dinosaurs existed, we have SCIENTIFIC (google that word) proof. Earth wasn't created in 6 days NOR as short a time ago as the MAN MADE and HUMAN INVENTED BIBLE wants you to believe! 6000 year old Earth LOL!!!!. Just accept, the Bible was written to stop people killing themselves back before they could handle the reality of life. I'm afraid you lack critical thinking skills if you genuinely think the Bible and organised religion is 'real.'"

The tragedy is, the Bible wasn’t written to “stop people killing themselves” out of ignorance.
It wasn’t “man-made” either — but what was man-made, is the Scofield Bible distortion that people like this atheist are actually reacting to.

In other words:
The Bible they hate isn’t even the real Bible.
It’s a 19th–20th century American cartoon version of it — born from ignorance, sold as Gospel truth, and shoved down the throats of generations who never learned Hebrew, never studied early Church writings, and never questioned the footnotes masquerading as doctrine.

Here’s what really happened:
When the Book of Genesis uses the Hebrew word “yom” (יוֹם) to describe the creation periods, it does not rigidly mean a 24-hour day.
“Yom” can mean a day — but also a season, epoch, or age — depending entirely on the context.

Even Augustine, one of Christianity’s greatest thinkers (writing 1,400 years before Darwin), warned that Genesis was never meant to be read like a literal 6-day chronological account — as if it were a modern historical timeline. He cautioned believers not to turn sacred scripture into a scientific embarrassment — and yet that’s exactly what Scofield’s camp did.

When Scofield and the early fundamentalists slammed “yom” into the rigid box of 6 × 24-hour periods around 120 years ago, they created a fragile theology — one that collapsed the moment it was tested.

They armed the atheists with the weapons to mock Christianity — and then left the battlefield.
Now we have generations of Christians, for over a century, who’ve been totally brainwashed by this Scofield blasphemy — unable to even defend a ridiculous notion that the Bible never asked them to defend in the first place.

And so, when a modern atheist fires shots like the comment above, here’s what’s really happening:
They’re not aiming at the Word of God.
They’re not challenging ancient truth.

They’re taking aim at:
A 20th-century American Sunday School pamphlet,
Mistranslations and theological gimmicks pushed by profit-driven or willfully ignorant men,
A false idol made of paper and ink — not the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

And tragically, most modern Christians can’t tell the difference.
They were raised on Scofield milk and blasphemy — instead of Hebrew meat and truth.
They were never handed the sword — only the sheath.
They were never taught how to wrestle with scripture — only how to parrot dogma.
They were never even given the real thing.

The Bible doesn’t teach 6 literal 24-hour creation days.
Scofield did.
In Biblical Hebrew, the word "yom" (יוֹם) can even mean an epoch or eon — a long, indefinite period of time, especially in poetic or prophetic contexts.

The Bible doesn’t say the Earth is 6,000 years old.
It was Scofield’s system that forced that lie onto the text.

The Bible doesn’t crumble under scientific observation —
Only Scofield’s house of cards does.
Which, tragically, 70% of Western Christians now believe and blindly defend
man-made, blasphemous notions planted in their minds by a drunk, convicted criminal who hijacked the pulpit with a pen.

They’re not defending the Word of God.
They’re defending Scofield’s heresy — and they don’t even know it.

The Bible doesn’t teach 6 literal 24-hour creation days.

Forget about Scofield, he just added some notes, he didn't translate the Bible.

Just the same, the Bible does in fact plainly teach 24 hour days of creation.

Exodus 20:8-11 KJV
8) Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.
9) Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:
10) But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
11) For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

How long is the Sabbath, during which God commanded Israel to rest? 1,000 years? An epoch? No, 24 hours.

7 days . . . in six, God created everything, and the 7th is for rest.

To me, you are defending secular heresy against the Bible. I'll put the plain teaching of Scripture againt the so-called "science". Just because some people believe the evolutionist's lies doesn't mean the Bible isn't true. A "young earth" was common knowledge until someone said these rocks are actually millions and millions of years old, and ignorant people believed it.

Much love!

I guess you prefer the Trump bible, recently promoted.

Sorry, I could not resist!

Please continue. :-).
No, I suppose you could not.

Why do you think I'd prefer anything other than my Bible? But no, I'm sure you have no idea about my Bible preferences, only, this was an opportunity for a fleshy dig. Did it feel good?

Much love!

You’re trying to tie the Sabbath commandment in Exodus 20 to the Genesis creation timeline as if they are the same kind of "day."
They’re not.

The Sabbath commandment is a moral law for human beings — tied to their rhythm of life — not a scientific explanation of cosmic origins.

The point of Exodus 20 is human obedience and patterned worship, not a physics lecture on the age of the universe.
The Hebrew word "yom" (יוֹם) is the hinge — and you're completely ignoring it.

In Genesis 1, "yom" can mean 24 hours, a season, an era, an undefined epoch — depending entirely on context.
Even within Genesis itself, "yom" is used flexibly:

"In the day (yom) that God created the heavens and the earth..." (Genesis 2:4) — referring to all of creation as happening in a single “day.”

Not 24 hours. Not six 24-hour periods. A creative season.

You can't twist the Sabbath instructions — which regulate human labor — into a hard scientific proof of the length and mechanics of God's creative acts.
Augustine knew this.
The early Church knew this.

Even ancient Jewish commentators understood that Genesis speaks theologically and poetically, not like a laboratory manual.

You are defending a modern, Westernized, Scofield-influenced reading of Genesis — not the way the ancient Hebrews or early Christians read it.

Second:
I never defended "evolution."
I’m not arguing for Darwin’s lies — I’m exposing Scofield’s lies that turned Genesis into a fragile, cartoonish narrative easily mocked by the secular world.

God created the heavens and the earth — absolutely.
But the method and timing are His, not Scofield’s, not Darby’s, and not some 19th-century industrialized American theology.

“For a thousand years in Your sight are but as yesterday when it is past, or as a watch in the night.” — Psalm 90:4
“With the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years like one day.” – 2 Peter 3:8

God’s perspective of time is not our perspective.
Trying to trap Him inside a human calendar of “six 24-hour days” reduces His power and majesty to something you can fit on a Scofield chart.

If you truly want to defend the Bible,
defend it as it was written — in Hebrew thought, in inspired poetry, in covenantal revelation — not as a 19th-century Americanized science textbook.

Otherwise, you’re fighting to defend man's interpretation, not God's Word.

That's what I'm doing. This is simple. The Bible makes true propositional statements. This one is very clear. The only issue is, you deny that the context should show the meaning of the word if various meanings are possible. This context is clear, but you don't receive what it says.

Much love!

All study bibles say the same thing. You are not fighting Scofield; you are fighting commentaries.

It’s honestly incredible how this conversation always ends up at the same brick wall of willful ignorance.

The attitude is basically:

"Ain't no need for no Hebrew mumbo-jumbo and none of their 'yom' words; whatever that means, I don't need no context, no Augustine, no early church, no theology, no nothin’! Mah Bible says six days, so that’s it! Case closed! Praise Scofield!"

This isn’t faith.
It’s proud ignorance dressed up as religion.
It’s the stubborn refusal to learn, to wrestle with God's revelation, to grow in understanding — because they'd rather stay comfy inside their tiny cartoon version of the Bible than actually face the living, breathing Word of God in all its terrifying majesty.

They don't want the depth of Scripture.
They want a flannelgraph Jesus and a Scofield study note to tell them what to believe so they never have to crack a real theological book or pray for real wisdom a single day in their lives.

It’s not God they’re defending.
It’s their shallow comfort zone — wrapped in a King James binding they don't even bother to read beyond surface-level proof texts.

Meanwhile, Christ is calling them deeper.

But they're too busy chanting "Six days means six days!" like robots programmed by Scofield and too afraid to ask what the Bible actually says.

Your ridicule of others simply shows that it is in your heart to ridicule others. You are revealed in your words.

The context is the very thing you refuse. So with the words you judge others, you are judged.

The Israelites didn't celebrate some indefinite creative season when they kept the sabbath. They kept a 24(more like 25)hour period. There is no evidence whatsoever that ancient Israelites didn't define a day as 24 hours. The knew that the "evening and the morning" were the first day. Beware of Dunning–Kruger.

You’re confusing Sabbath observance with cosmic chronology, and that’s the exact error I just called out.

Yes, the Israelites kept a 24-hour Sabbath.
Because they’re human beings, operating under solar rhythms.
The command in Exodus is about human time — not God’s time in the act of creation.

That’s the whole point:
Just because humans observe a 24-hour Sabbath doesn’t mean God’s "days" of creation were literal 24-hour periods.
That’s like saying because we take a lunch break, God must’ve eaten a sandwich at noon every day of creation.

“Evening and morning were the first day…”

You're reading that through an English lens, not Hebrew theology.
In Hebrew structure, “evening and morning” simply bookend creative acts, not clock time.
They represent the transition from disorder to order, chaos to form — not 24 hours.
Especially since the sun and moon weren’t even created until Day 4 — how are you measuring hours before there's a sun?

The early Church didn’t read Genesis as literal clock time.
Augustine didn’t.
Origen didn’t.
Philo didn’t.
Even modern Jewish scholars understand “yom” as flexible — often representing epochs or phases of divine work.

You’re not defending scripture.
You’re defending a modern, Scofield-inspired invention that flattens sacred text into a science manual.
Better to study the Word and its languages than to throw around psychological terms like they’re scripture.

Either deal with the text as it was written, in Hebrew context, with the weight of 2,000 years of Church history —
Or keep swinging Scofield’s crumbling sword at people who actually read the Word deeper than a Sunday School coloring book.

Also:
Quoting Malachi 3:16 doesn’t prove your point — it proves mine.

The verse says God honors those who fear Him and think on His name
not those who repeat man-made doctrines or ignore the original language and literary form of His Word.

You’re using a beautiful passage about reverence and remembrance to dodge a hard truth:
You’ve been taught to read Genesis through a Western literalist lens, shaped more by Scofield’s notes than by the Hebrew authors God actually inspired.

If you fear the Lord, then honor His Word as it was written
in Hebrew, in divine poetry, in theological depth — not as a 19th-century American timeline.

God doesn’t bless those who flatten His truth into bumper-sticker theology.
He blesses those who seek understanding, who dig deeper, who don’t twist scripture to fit their comfort zone.

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” — Proverbs 9:10
Wisdom means you learn the Word, not just quote it.

Just so.

The error is made when someone thinks that God is using sloppy speech, telling us it's a day, and giving an example of what He means (evening and morning, 7th day rest), but not meaning it, because the verse isn't about defining a day. It's just being dismissive of What God Said.

The simplicity is that the evening/morning model given in Genesis correlates exactly with the 6 days of creation and a 7th day rest.

Much love!

One fact is absolutely indisputable:

When the Rockefeller Foundation bankrolled the Scofield Reference Bible and pumped it into every seminary, church, and Christian household in the early 20th century under the guise of “free Bibles,”
it didn’t just distort theology —
it detonated a theological nuke that vaporized biblical literacy in the United States.

That moment marked the beginning of the end.

From the 1910s through the 1930s, Scofield’s Zionist-infused, dispensational heresy was slipped into the hearts and minds of everyday Americans — not by apostles, not by prophets, but by industrialists, globalists, and social engineers who saw the church not as the Bride of Christ, but as a tool of control.

And who took the bait?

Every "John Boy Walton" family in the country.
The Scofield Bible sat next to the apple pie and the World War I memorial flag, silently rewriting theology in homes that never questioned it's footnotes.

By the 1960s, it was too late.
By the 1970s, Evangelical America was an echo chamber, parroting Scofield’s footnotes as if they were scripture.
By the 1980s, the entire country had a TV in the living room and a televangelist in their bloodstream, brainwashing millions with Rapture charts, Israel-worship, and End Times hysteria that bore no resemblance to the teachings of Jesus Christ whatsoever.

You want to know how atheists got their ammo?
We handed it to them.

We armed them with a literalist, anti-intellectual, contradiction-riddled version of the Bible that falls apart under the slightest scrutiny —
and then dared the world to “trust the Word of God,” not realizing we had replaced it with Scofield’s commentary and Darby’s hallucinations.

If you told Thomas Jefferson in 1770 that the Earth was only 6,000 years old because a failed lawyer turned conman named Scofield said so in 1909, he would’ve laughed so hard he’d have coughed up Enlightenment.
Then he would’ve immediately started drafting a constitutional amendment banning Scofield footnotes as a threat to public education.

Jefferson didn’t believe nonsense.

The founders didn’t believe this nonsense either.
Even the Puritans, for all their faults, knew how to wrestle with Scripture, not just parrot footnotes.

And you better believe they’d all tell you this:
The true Israel is not a flag. Not a border. Not a bloodline.
The true Israel is the Bride of Christ — the body of believers — the Church.

That was the understanding of the faithful for nearly 2,000 years.

But look at Christianity now.
Scofield rewired the church, and now it worships a modern political state as if it were the Messiah Himself.
The church traded the Gospel for maps, timelines, and blood moons.
It traded the Bride for a border.

What a joke.
What a tragedy.

If Satan wanted to dismantle Christianity in America without firing a shot,
he’d fund a Bible with mind-warping footnotes,
send it to every church and seminary for free,
and sit back while the sheep ate it like candy.

And that’s exactly what happened.

Scofield rewired the church, and now it worships a modern political state as if it were the Messiah Himself.
The church traded the Gospel for maps, timelines, and blood moons.
It traded the Bride for a border.

What a joke.
What a tragedy.

If Satan wanted to dismantle Christianity in America without firing a shot,
he’d fund a Bible with mind-warping footnotes,
send it to every church and seminary for free,
and sit back while the sheep ate it like candy.

And that’s exactly what happened.
How do you know this? links please. Just because you say it doesn't mean it's so.

One fact is absolutely indisputable:

When the Rockefeller Foundation bankrolled the Scofield Reference Bible and pumped it into every seminary, church, and Christian household in the early 20th century under the guise of “free Bibles,”
it didn’t just distort theology —
it detonated a theological nuke that vaporized biblical literacy in the United States.

That moment marked the beginning of the end.

From the 1910s through the 1930s, Scofield’s Zionist-infused, dispensational heresy was slipped into the hearts and minds of everyday Americans — not by apostles, not by prophets, but by industrialists, globalists, and social engineers who saw the church not as the Bride of Christ, but as a tool of control.

And who took the bait?

Every "John Boy Walton" family in the country.
The Scofield Bible sat next to the apple pie and the World War I memorial flag, silently rewriting theology in homes that never questioned it's footnotes.

By the 1960s, it was too late.
By the 1970s, Evangelical America was an echo chamber, parroting Scofield’s footnotes as if they were scripture.
By the 1980s, the entire country had a TV in the living room and a televangelist in their bloodstream, brainwashing millions with Rapture charts, Israel-worship, and End Times hysteria that bore no resemblance to the teachings of Jesus Christ whatsoever.

You want to know how atheists got their ammo?
We handed it to them.

We armed them with a literalist, anti-intellectual, contradiction-riddled version of the Bible that falls apart under the slightest scrutiny —
and then dared the world to “trust the Word of God,” not realizing we had replaced it with Scofield’s commentary and Darby’s hallucinations.

If you told Thomas Jefferson in 1770 that the Earth was only 6,000 years old because a failed lawyer turned conman named Scofield said so in 1909, he would’ve laughed so hard he’d have coughed up Enlightenment.
Then he would’ve immediately started drafting a constitutional amendment banning Scofield footnotes as a threat to public education.

Jefferson didn’t believe nonsense.

The founders didn’t believe this nonsense either.
Even the Puritans, for all their faults, knew how to wrestle with Scripture, not just parrot footnotes.

And you better believe they’d all tell you this:
The true Israel is not a flag. Not a border. Not a bloodline.
The true Israel is the Bride of Christ — the body of believers — the Church.

That was the understanding of the faithful for nearly 2,000 years.

But look at Christianity now.
Scofield rewired the church, and now it worships a modern political state as if it were the Messiah Himself.
The church traded the Gospel for maps, timelines, and blood moons.

I just googled did the "did the Rockafellow foundation support the Scofield bible". The answer was NO.
