re: #432 bofhell
Because Hashem created (and according to Jewish theology continues to create) the world in an organic fashion so that we can understand it. If plants mystically sprang forth fully bloomed at random intervals, it wouldn’t provide much incentive to create agriculture.
And how does that relate to faking a 6000 year old earth and universe to appear to all empirical measurement to be respectively 4.6 million years old and 13.7 billion years old?
