refutations for day-age theory
- hebrew grammar- olam means a long period of time while yom means a common day
- the use of a numerical adjective with yom always refers to a common day
- the phrase “evening and morning” is strongly indicative of a common day
- if man has been on Earth for 1 million years, the genealogies in Genesis 5 and 11 would require a 50,000 year gap between each name
- if life has been on earth for 1 billion years, then each day of creation would have to represent 125 million years.
- according to Genesis, plants were created on the 3rd day and the sun on the 4th making anything but a common day impossible
- the use of 2 peter 3:8 as support is a classic illustration of proof-texting.
- the pattern of exodus 20:9-11 (sabbath) is ludicrous unless the days of creation are common days.

5 imputation theories
- liberal position- story is a Hebrew legend and thus has no impact at all
- pelagian position- because God imputes to a man only those sins which he personally commits, Adam’s sin affected only himself. The only impact on posterity was that of a bad example.
- Arminian Position- Adam’s sin weakened the will of his descendants to remain sinless, but did not destroy the possibility.
- Augustinian- as seminally present in Adam, all his descendants were participants with him in his sin. Thus, God holds all men guilty because all men are guilty.
- Federal- as the federal head of representative of mankind, his sin was charged not only to him but to all he represented as well. Consequences of his sin fell upon us.

- doesn’t mean reformation, remorse, or penitents
faith
- a voluntary and sincere change in the mind of the sinner, causing him to turn to the savior.
- what faith is not- a blind leap, supposition (best guess), speculation, or opinion
