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, …

4 This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 before any plant of the field was in the earth and before any herb of the field had grown. For the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground; 6 but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man …

Wow.  I have been doing this word study on righteousness for nearly a year and a half, feeling at least in part like it is too much a distraction from Geocreationism to be posted on this blog… yet, perhaps out of laziness (I didn’t want to create another blog), I posted my entire venture through the verses on righteousness on this blog.  Now, I come to the last chapter in the bible that contains the word Righteousness, and I am simply floored.  What floored me?  Here is the last verse on righteousness, 2 Peter 3:13:
13But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.
It has been so easy …

“If Young Earth Creationists are out of their mind, it is for the sake of God; if Old Earth Creationists are in their right mind, it is for you.” — 2 Corinthians 5:13

Okay, I’m kidding.  People who believe in a young earth are not insane, but they are out of their mind… in the way 2 Corinthians 5:13 says.  Oh wait.  That isn’t really 2 Corinthians 5:13, is it?  Sorry about that.  Couldn’t resist.  As much as I emphasize that YECs have admirable faith and should not be converted to being Evolutionists at the cost of their faith and fellowship, the very tension of the Creation debate sometimes finds its release in potentially offensive jokes.  So for that, I apologize.  …

One of the primary criticisms of Old Earth views of the universe stems from the introduction of death into the world.  According to a young earth perspective, God created the world perfect, and in that perfection there was no sin, and therefore no death.  Death was introduced by Adam’s and Eve’s disobedience in the garden.  Therefore, because death was not in the world before the fall, evolution would be impossible, because the theory of evolution is based on fossils that are thought to have died long before the fall.  If the reasoning is correct, then this contradiction is clear proof that evolution is a fallacy, that the earth is young, and God truly means to communicate that in scripture.  It is …

Recall these verses from Romans 5: ”12Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned— 13for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law.”  Paul is drawing a distinction between legality and morality.  This is an important distinction for those who lived before the law, because even without a law to break, there was still sin.  There may have been no law upon which to base punishment, but sin was still in the world.  After all, “14 …death reigned from the time of Adam …

Okay, this isn’t exactly a verse in the bible, but I wanted to get your attention.

As I’ve been doing my word study on righteousness, thoughts naturally gravitate back to Evolution, Creationism, and Geocreationism. I’ve been reading this great book which I cannot find in my morning haze, but it advances the common argument that God’s testimony is in scripture and in science.  In other words, what we discover about the world, is knowledge that God wants us to have… and why wouldn’t He?  I mean, anything we learn about Him, whether it be how He saved us from our sins, or created the world in which live, is more knowledge about Him and His love for us.  Why wouldn’t I want …

Jesus told us that without man to bear witness of God, the very rocks would cry out.  I believe they do, through the evidence for Evolution.  Rocks indeed.  For if Evolution happened, then it was according to God’s plan, design, and will; the earth apparently believed God where many of us today do not… and the earth obeyed.

Over the last 2 years of studying and writing Geocreationism, I have slowly come to accept evolution more than before.  Though I still have questions in my mind, I keep finding more reasons to believe that God a created a universe in which life would evolve according to His predetermined plan.

Early on in my blog, I found a post entitled Mass Delusion - 10 Reasons Why the Majority of Scientists Believe in Evolution.  I never responded to it, but at the time as I was merely sympathetic to Evolution.  While I am not full-on advocate for Evolution, it is the most logically choice to me, and fits my interpretation of scripture better than anything else I’ve studied.  This …

In “Beyond the Firmament” (Review) - Genesis is Literal, I write about an interesting phenomenon.  It would seem that Moses — some would dispute whether it’s Moses, but that’s beside the point for now — wrote what he thought was a historically accurate account of Creation.  We now know that he was wrong — it was not historically accurate.  However, as GJG of BTF points out, when we put on our Moses hat, and try to view the world as the ancient Hebrews did, we realize that what Moses echoed the account with which they were already familiar, but with the added detail that God is the one who did …
