Mike the Wiz quote :
______________________________________________________________________
Unbelievers have said - it would be a deception.
Those who trust and believe in god - do NOT say it would be a deception
YECs have NOT said it would be a deception.
______________________________________________________________________
As a believer I believe it would be a deception. God says a 1000 years are like a day to Him and a day is like a 1000 years.
But IF God IS then WHATEVER He does is righteous, so in this context it is not a deception. But I believe God did not deceive. Genesis 1:2 says the "Earth became a waste and a desolation". This indicates that the previous inhabitants did not do well and it indicates that there are eons and eons of time between Genesis1:1 and Genesis 1:2.
