Genesis 9:1-3 - When did man start eating animals? (Part 1)

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

 1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth. 2 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. 3 Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.
The verses complement the following excerpts in the Creation account:
Genesis 1:
  28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be …

Genesis 5 - Proof that Adam was born

Thursday, June 24th, 2010

I believe I have made a convincing case that mankind was created before Adam, around 200,000 years ago.  Then, Adam lived around 6,000-10,000 years ago.  The main proof is scripture.

Genesis 1:26-31

God made both genders on Day 6, and blessed them together, as one group. But in Genesis 2, Eve was only created because God saw Adam was lonely and needed help.
In Genesis 1, Day 6 refers to all of mankind by the word Adam; Genesis 2 refers to a specific person the name Adam.
In Genesis 1, God gives mankind the entire world to subdue, but…

In Genesis 2, God only gives Adam the Garden of Eden to tend
Adam only goes into the world after he sins
Any subduing Adam and his descendants did …

And God Made Man… upright

Sunday, June 13th, 2010

       29 Truly, this only I have found:
      That God made man upright,
      But they have sought out many schemes.”

Ecclesiastes 7:29

Genesis 3 - The Fall of Man (Conclusion)

Monday, May 31st, 2010

…continued Genesis 3 - The Fall of Man (Part 7)
22 And the LORD God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the LORD God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth …

Day 6 - When did it end?

Saturday, May 1st, 2010

Genesis 2
 1 Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

 2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
In Day 5 - Determining a Date (Part 2), I make the case the KT impact removed the hindrance to a a more modern, flourishing, fish and bird population.  This was 65 million years ago, when fish started to flourish.  Mammals actually started to flourish …

Day 6 - Dating Man

Thursday, April 29th, 2010

 26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

 27 So God created man in his own image,
       in the image of God he created him;
       male and female he created them.

 28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Day 6 - Dating Land Mammals

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

 24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
Now remember that the Geocrationist perspective here is that, as I write about in “Let” (borrowed from Glenn Morton’s Days of Proclamation Theory), that God removed an insurmountable hindrance to the animals mentioned in the verses above.  But, what was preventing …

Day 6 - Introduction

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010

 24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

 26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that …

Does “Full Humanity” Predate Homo Sapiens? (Part 5 - Hominids)

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

In Does “Full Humanity” Predate Homo Sapiens? (Part 4 - Pre-Adamism), I quoted part of an interchange between Stephen Jones and Glenn Morton, where SJ acknowledged Anamensis existence 4.2 mya.  Here it is for your convenience:
GM: As I have mentioned, there are a few fossils which have Homo-like affinities from 4.2 MYR ago. You seem to forget that.
(see Brigitte Senut and Christine Tardieu, “Functional Aspects of Plio-Pleistocene Hominid Limb Bones: Implications for Taxonomy and phylogeny”,in Eric Delson, editor, Ancestors: The Hard Evidence, pp 193-201)
SJ: I don’t “forget that” at all. As Glenn himself says, they are “fossils which have Homo-like affinities from 4.2 MYR ago”. They …

Does “Full Humanity” Predate Homo Sapiens? (Part 4 - Pre-Adamism)

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

A little over two years ago, I started writing a series on whether Full Humanity predates Homo Sapiens.  It was basically a review of Glenn Morton’s theories on humanity.  I found (and continue to find) them fascinating.  He wrote of pre-homo sapien humanoid species that manifested features that would appear to us as being uniquely human.  Making the case has allowed him to suggest that Adam and Eve were alive 5.5 million years ago, and that Noah’s flood was shortly thereafter.  Though I am not inclined to agree at this time, the arguments seemed reasonable enough to review.  I then wrote the following three articles.  Now, please keep in mind that my thinking haschanged a bit since then.  In particular, …
