But around 1800, anti-Christians began teaching that the world was much older than the Bible taught. The Church responded in various ways. A number of theological liberals (‘wolves in sheep’s clothing’) were only too happy to accept this fledgling new ‘science’. But they fully agreed with their forebears (and today’s liberals) about what the Bible intended to say; they merely regarded the Bible’s clear statements as being disproven by science. But the conservatives loved the Bible, and (rightly) believed that it was completely accurate. However, many were intimidated by the new long-age ‘science’, and invented ways of ‘reinterpreting’ what the Bible said, to allegedly harmonize with ‘science’. This was the origin of such ideas as the day-age notion, the gap theory, the framework hypothesis and ‘theistic evolution’. creation/loving-the-bible-to-death
