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 …

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 …

…continued from Genesis 3 - The Fall of Man (Part 5)
 20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.
I happened upon an interesting commentary on this vers at Accuracy In Genesis.  How Big is All?  Here is the beginning of that article:
For a first example look at Genesis 3:20 where per the King James Version Adam pronounces Eve as

“the mother of all living”How big is this all ? Is it totally inclusive of all living matter, plants, bacteria, aquatic life, bugs, fowl, and all the mammals and all primates?

Was she “mother nature” ?Or …

Like 1 Corinthians 15:21, Romans 5:12 is another verse used to support the doctrine of Original Sin.  However, does this verse mean that there was no death before Adam?  That is important to answer, because if there was no death before Adam, then Evolution would be false, and the Earth would by necessity be young… and science would be turned on its ear.

The first verse on Original Sin that I addressed is 1 Corinthians 15:21, which reads:
21For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.
However, the context of this verse was a reference back to Daniel 12:2:
2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: …

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.
The reasoning is as follows:

Given: Jesus died for our sins
Given: Adam introduced sin
Given: God said that when Adam sinned, he would die
Therefore: Death resulted from Adam’s sin
Therefore: There was no death until Adam sinned.
Therefore: Evolution could not have occurred. 
Therefore: The Earth is young.

And 1 Corinthians 15:21 is offered as confirmation of this simple proof.  However, does this verse really confirm this proof?  Or might it actually disprove it?  1 Corinthians 15 is a long chapter that Paul wrote in order to cut through some misconceptions …

 20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day. — Genesis 1:20-23
