 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 …

A primary obstacle to discussing The Flood with a Young Earther has to do with how you read the scripture.  Many will say that you have to read it literally.  Personally, I find that quite appealing.  However, as you read through The Flood’s account, you immediately find yourself having to relax that rule when God says he is going to wipe out “all” of mankind… but is going to save Noah and his family.  Clearly, Noah is a man, yet God clearly separated him from the “all” that he was referring to.  Apparently, even when the word “all” is used by God, God still reserves the right to list exceptions. 

So, backing off the strictly literal method of interpretation, one can still insist that …

One of the problems with biblical interpretation is the apparent assumption that what the Bible says is all there is to know.  “The Bible says it. I believe it. That settles it.” is a common mantra… and I agree with it, as far as it goes.  The problem is that we do not always realize what is with which we agree.  The Bible makes it seem like the Earth is at the center of the universe.  Well, it isn’t.  However, it is at the center of God’s plan for the universe.  So, Christians then and now still believe the Bible, and yet believe different things.  It makes arguing against unbeliever rather difficult, but that aside, we need only acknowledge that …

As I wrote in Problems with Interpreting the Flood - Part 2 - Evidence for Global Catastrophe, any physical evidence for The Flood used by Creation Scientists generally points at the KT Impact 65 million years ago, or at the global ocean that first formed on the earth around 4.5 billion years ago.  Furthermore, these two global events are strong evidence for God’s sequence of Creation recorded in Genesis 1.  This tells us that whatever else is true, The Flood was not a global event.  Otherwise, there would be evidence of it, and there is not.  However, this also tells us something else: …

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 …

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

Ecclesiastes 7:29

…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 …

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.
When did God rest?  In Day 6 - When did it end?, I suggested that the creation of Homo Sapiens Sapiens was a reasonable date for ending Day 6: 200,000 years ago.  So then, when …

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 …

 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.”
