*Genesis 1 / *Gen. 1 - (Re: What about *evolution?) An old earth and evolution can be true without contradicting Creationism, because evolution per se (random mutation and survival of the fittest) can coexist with miraculous creation, just as an automated process created by a human (for...

(Re: Has not evolutionary mutation from one species to another never been shown, even with our vast fossil collection?) You will have to take that up with an evolutionary scientist, who could disagree with you. The point of what was presented above is that no matter how many evolutionary...

(*Ark) Noah could have collected on the ark only land animals and birds (Genesis 7:8). Land plants, insects, and fungi could have survived the Flood on their own as seeds, eggs, and spores, which could have survived on mats of flotsam. Freshwater fish could have survived in a layer of fresh...

*Exodus 16:28 / *Ex. 16:28 - Note that this does not require that God had commanded any special behavior on every sabbath before the time of Exodus 16. For right before Exodus 16:28, God had commanded through Moses that the people not try to gather manna on the sabbath (Exodus 16:25-26). But...

*Leviticus 11 / *Lev. 11 - (Re: Dietary laws / *Health) It is sometimes claimed that we should not eat animals which were "unclean" under the letter of the Old Covenant Mosaic law (Leviticus 11) because they are detrimental to health. But where does it say that they were "unclean" because they...

(Re: What about *transgenderism?) In reality, there is no such thing as transgenderism, just as there is no such thing as transracialism. As an example, imagine that a white man walks into an all-black, inner-city neighborhood, and is surrounded by some black men. "What are you doing here...

*2 Kings 16:10-16 / *2 Kin. 16:10 - (Re: Was not this, like what King Manasseh did, an abomination of desolation like what the future Antichrist will do?) 2 Kings 16:10-16 refers to King Ahaz replacing the original altar of Solomon's temple with another altar of a pagan design as the place...

*Job 33:22 - (Re: The *Bottomless Pit) In Job 33:22 the original Hebrew word (shachath: H7845) translated as "the grave" can mean "the pit" (Job 33:28,30), as in the extremely-deep pit which is in hell/sheol (Isaiah 14:15, Psalms 30:3, Job 11:8). In the sides of this pit are the graves of the...

(Re: Some people say that aliens created humans) The existence of aliens would not require that they, instead of YHWH God, created humans on the earth. For YHWH God Himself could have directly created both humans on the earth and aliens on other planets (cf. John 1:3). Also, if someone were to...

(Re: Consume away = annihilation?) In Psalms 37:20 the original Hebrew word (kalah: H3615) translated as "consume" and "consume away" does not require annihilation. For the same Hebrew word is used elsewhere to refer to eyes merely "failing with longing" (Deuteronomy 28:32), not eyes being...

*Psalms 90:9 / *Ps. 90:9 - The original Hebrew word (hegeh: H1899) translated as "tale" can mean "sigh", or "mourning" (Ezekiel 2:10b). So the Hebrew phrase translated as: "we spend our years as a tale" (Psalms 90:9b) can mean: "our whole life is like a sigh of mourning". But this is the case...

(Re: Means that there is no free will?) Proverbs 16:9, Proverbs 19:21, and Proverbs 20:24 are not contradicting that we have free will and so can wrongly make and perform plans against the counsel (advice) of God. For if we could not do that, then we could not sin. For God never counsels...

*Ecclesiastes 11:5 / *Eccl. 11:5 - (*Spirit) What science today is missing, in its search for a "Theory of Everything" which can unify all of the physical forces in the universe, is spirit. So by continuing to exclude the whole idea of spirit, science can never hope to understand the universe...

*Isaiah 40:17-18 / *Isa. 40:17 - God and His wishes are infinitely more important than even all of humanity together (Isaiah 40:17, Isaiah 2:22). Because of this, there is no perfect analogy for how great God is compared with humanity (Isaiah 40:18). The closest analogy involving living things...
