Memo to Earth: Do not boast.

Why do I say this? Because I have seen your obedience to God, and then watched you take the credit, as if God doesn’t exist.
Genesis 1:24
24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.”
And you did in fact take what life was already there, and produce the livestock and cattle we have from them. You produced them according to their kinds, yet you take credit for what you have done. But you err, for the passage goes on…
And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according …

What is free will? It is, among other things, God letting us do as we will.

What is evolution? It is, amont other things, God letting the earth do as it will.

Now, reasonable people can disagree on whether evolution is in fact real. However, if you have no philosophical disagreement with the order that rises out of man’s disorder, then why be opposed when the disorder is not from man?

If your objection is that we do not witness evolution today, can’t it just mean that God rested from creating?

If your objection is that evolution requires mortality before sin, doesn’t the Tree of Life require that if it’s to be of use in the Garden of Eden?

If you believe Jesus conquered our …

Every now and then I go searching for other Old Earth bloggers. I just found one that looks really good. I like how it’s organized, and like the variety of topics. Also importantly, he’s still posting.  I can’t tell you how many bloggers I find whose last post is 6 months ago, or longer… not that there’s any lack of old material worth reading there!

The site is The GeoChristian… with my own site being Geocreationism, I had to check it out.

Thought I’d take a break from Noah’s family this morning.  There is a blog entry I found a few years ago called, Wrestling with Evolution, by Tim Challies. I like his article, because he is a Young Earther with an air of civility toward us Old Earthers… something I appreciate very much.  He opens with the following…
Christians are accustomed to treating evolution as an account of the world’s origins that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever and something that a person could only believe in the absence of God or in the absence of faith. But this is not quite fair. There are now many Christians—Christians who treasure the Bible and who affirm the truths of the historic Christian faith—who …

 8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
I have been on these verses since August 31.  I have been trying to move on to verse 12, …

 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 …

Here are the particulars of God’s promise that he would never again “curse the ground because of man” or “destroy all living creatures”…
 22 “As long as the earth endures,
       seedtime and harvest,
       cold and heat,
       summer and winter,
       day and night
       will never cease.”
It is an interesting promise, because it reiterates God’s promises above, but it is not immediately clear how so.

“Seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night,” are now conditional on the earth enduring.  Enduring what?  Well, the word translated “endures” is “yowm”.  As used, it refers to the remaining designated time of something.  In this case, for the time the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, etc., will never cease.  In …

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: …

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 …

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 …
