Your post is spot on. Thank you!

Based on my study of the subject, both from biblical text and logic, I have concluded that animals could die before Adam sinned. I have addressed this issue specifically in the following paper: http://www.genesistruth.org/documents/The_Curse.pdf

The simple answer is, that He was creating the Heavens (universe) along with the earth (unfinished). The longer answer: There was a "Beginning" of what God's work (in the universe), and there was a beginning of events to complete the earth (starting with light on the surface in Day 1). A lot...

What is a PRATT?

Hi Mark. I get bored quickly with most of the topics, or soon after the good ones get derailed. Some posts get so long or technical that I don't even start to read them. Maybe I need something to boost my enthusiasm.

I think there is "one" way that Scripture is written and "should" be interpreted. There are many interpretations by man, and I believe that all of them have some degree of error to them because of man's inability to understand or desire for it to fit their prior worldview. "My" interpretation is...

This is the problem. All the camps seem to group the age of the earth as a whole, and point to evidence before and after the creation week to make their case. I'm saying you can't do that. There is evidence that the universe and minerals of the earth are very old, and there's evidence that the...

I took the topic to be related to those who already believe in God. I don't expect an athiest to accept ANY creation model until God has lifted the vail from their eyes and mind.

The reason that YEC doesn't have more support, is because of the dogmatic misinterpretation of Exodus 20:11 and a few others. Rather than using the original Hebrew, the big YEC proponents point to an English interpretation that adds words and uses the wrong meaning of others. To get more...

I am so sad to hear this news from a CF friend. Anytime you need to talk, just send me a note. You've been a blessing to others here and hopefully we can help you in this time of need. I will include you and your children in my prayers. :hug:

Laptoppop, I feel exactly like you. It seems like the topics that I'd like to get into are already so corrupted by the time I see them that there's no point in getting started.

Much information is available on this site about Creationism, but to understand the difference between it and ID, I thought the following definition from some of the founders of the ID movement might help. http://www.intelligentdesignnetwork.org/index.htm Intelligent Design The theory of...

I just checked out "Forbidden Archeology" from the library. Wow, what a thick book! 828 pages of very intense reading. It's more like a reference book because it doesn't seem like a flowing front to back progressive theme kind. I was also expecting more graphics. I flipped thru and don't see any...

I can't help wondering if you've read "The Book of Enoch". If not, there are full text scans at: http://books.google.com/books?q=book+of+enoch and many other sites with hyperlinked indexes, such as: http://www.sacred-texts.com/bib/boe/ Chapter 6 is interesting as it relates to the 200 fallen...

Biblically, the caves would have been formed AFTER the global flood, or existing ones submerged, such that any current evidence would be no older than roughly 4,400 years ago. I believe the minerals to be OLD and the pigment young (if biological) mixed with old, so that you will not get...

Adam was in the Garden and Eve was made on the 6th day, because God made them male and female on the sixth day: Genesis 1:27 "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." They were in the garden until cast out. From the text we have...

Hi Van! I agree with the first sentence, but not the second. In reference to Genesis 1:16, most translations add the words "He made" with reference to the stars. The correct translation from the Hebrew would be "also (or with)" stars. Meaning that when we look at the moon ruling the night, we...

Again, we disagree here, but I don't want to get too far off the original post. Feel free to PM me if you want to discuss this further. Just so you know, I am a Creationist who takes Genesis literally. The only difference between myself and a YEC is how I interpret the age of the universe and...

I have to respectfully disagree here. I wrote a paper to support my position at: http://www.genesistruth.org/documents/The_Curse.pdf

Genesis 1:1. Genesis 1:16 lets us know that they were in the upper heavens viewable with the lesser light that ruled the night (moon). God established TWO great lights on that day. "He made" in English translations relating to the stars at the end of the sentence is an addition that changes the...
