1 Corinthians 15:21 is one of the verses used to prove that because of Original Sin, the earth is young.  Here is the verse:
21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.

Genesis 2:4-6 describe the earth 4.5 billion years ago.
At that time, there was only earth to work with.
Genesis 2:7 says God used earth to form Adam… God’s work …

As I’ve picked up with blogging on Geocreationism again, I will eventually arrive at the place where Adam and Eve commit the first sin… what Adam is credited with as “Original Sin”.  I figured I would get a leg up on what scripture has to say about it.

The first verse in the Bible that uses the word “sin” is actually after the first sin has been committed.  The verse is Genesis 4:7, and the passage reads as follows:
 1 Adam lay with his wife Eve, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Cain. She said, “With the help of the LORD I have brought forth a man.” 2 Later she gave birth to his …
