Day-age theory continued: The other similar example of Christians being tempted to be accepted by modern day secular scholars is REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY. Bottom line: Israel was not a nation for so long, it appeared the Bible was wrong in it's prediction, and they came up with the idea that the Christian church had replaced Israel. Oops! You would look so ridiculous today if you held that view. Israel not only became a nation in 1948, but it has prospered a lot and just as the Bible predicted, Jews have been coming back into the land in a big way ever since. Just in the 90's over a million came from Russia. Stick with the Bible! It's always right!
