Why can't all Christians and churches get along? Why is there so much disunity between Christians and churches? The Bible never says we should come together just on the issues we agree on. The Bible never states we should only teach the parts we like and not the parts that are controversial. The Bible does teach that we should keep the truth. A church can't just make up its own rules (doctrines) to establish unity. Unity must be found in the truth of God's Word. There is nothing in God's Word that is divisive. God's Word does not create disunity. It happens when people don't believe the plain reading of His Word and begin reinterpreting it or watering it down (for example: millions of years, Genesis is not real history, the gap theory, no such place as hell, works based,...).

Should Christians really care if the earth is young or old (billions of years)?
A common claim by some church leaders is that the age of the earth does not matter.
This claim however, demonstrates a lack of biblical knowledge.
First: if the earth is old this means there would have been millions of years of death and disease before Adam and Even and the Fall.
It teaches death before sin, which means sin was not the cause of death. This undermines the very reason Jesus had to go to the Cross and die for our sins.
So, it is important because it is a gospel issue.
Second: an old earth changes the character of God. In Gen 1:31 call called His entire creation “very good”. Did God really call death, disease and destruction very good?
Third: In Commandment 4 of the 10 Commandments God wrote down on the stone tablets that He created everything in 6 days. Millions of years calls into question the truthfulness of the 10 Commandments.
Fourth: In Mark 10 and Matthew 4 Jesus states that man and woman were created from the beginning of creation and not after millions of years. Jesus, the Creator of all things, believed in a young earth.
Therefore, the age of the earth is an important biblical issue.
