 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 7:6…
 6 Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth.
This is an interesting verse.  It doesn’t say much, but it says a lot.  Floodwaters came on the earth.  What does this mean?  Well to get a feel, let us go back to God’s warning to Noah of what was to come, in Genesis 6:13,17…
 13 So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth.”

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: …

In Problems with Interpreting the Flood, I discussed some of the problems with Creation Science’s approach to interpreting scripture and scientific evidence, as they apply to The Flood.  As I discussed, when I encounter a battle between experts, I will compare their arguments, and compare their descriptions of each others’ arguments.  What I have found is that Creation Scientists cannot explain all of the evidence brought forth by old earth proponents; old earth proponents however can address all of the evidence brought forth by Creation Scientists.  Old earth proponents can also accurately describe the concerns and approach of Creation Scientists; the opposite I am afraid does not appear to be true.

However, …

While posting on the 7 Days of Creation and Righteousness for the last several years, I have been researching various theories on The Great Flood.  However, I have wanted to avoid posting any actual theory on The Flood until my analysis of Genesis 1-6 had played itself out, and I could see exactly how my theories of Geocreationism would weigh in to the argument.

Generally speaking, I never accepted The Flood as a global flood since I was a child.  I always knew the scripture was true, and assumed I would eventually understand the evidence for it.  I have studied the Creation Science for a recent global flood, and the secular science arguing against no flood at all.  Of particular interest to …

On Jesus is Savior, there is a list of 17 proofs against evolution:

Argument 1: Not enough dust on the moon.  Refuted: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/moon-dust.html

Argument 2: Magnetic Field is decreasing exponentially.  Refuted: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/magfields.html

Argument 3: Fossil Record, because it has no transitional forms. Species appear too abruptly. Refuted: This proves to me that God abruptly created new species.  Adding God, in fact, validates the Fossil Record, rather than nullifying it, because without God there can be no fossil record.

Argument 4: Embryonic Recapitulation, arguing that it’s falisification also falsifies Evolution.  Refuted: http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/wells/haeckel.html

Argument 5: Probability.  Refuted: His argument does not prove it didn’t happen, but that God was involved.

Argument 6: 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Refuted: The SLoTd only requires the universe as a whole to lose …

       29 Truly, this only I have found:
      That God made man upright,

Interesting Post: http://doctor.claudemariottini.com/2009/10/devastating-news-for-traditional.html.  It cites a possible discovery that “In the beginning, God separated the heavens and the earth.”

That’s right.  Separated.  Not created.

Well, if you think about it, God did separate the heavens from the earth.  Scientifically, if you accept that the heavens existed before the earth formed (but would be hidden until Day 4), then you can see that God actually set the earth apart for His purposes.  He really did separate the heavens from the earth!  And He really created them!  Both have always been true, so does it matter which fact the verse is recording?  Perhaps it’s recording both perspectives!

Both?

Well, read my post from a few years ago …

The story of Cain and Abel is a familiar one.  Cain tills the earth and Abel tends sheep.  They both prepare offerings to God.  God favors Abel’s sacrifice of his best lamb over Cain’s offering of vegetables.  Cain kills Abel, and God punishes Cain.  He then marks Cain so that no one will kill him for what he did.

The main Creation challenge for Christians in this story is generally lodged toward the end of it, when Cain takes a wife.  Genesis 4:17…
 17 Cain lay with his wife, and she became pregnant and gave birth to Enoch. Cain was then building a city, and he named it after his son Enoch. 
Who did he marry?  His sister?  And what’s …
