    Did God Create Fossils?

    But Einstein was the first and most famous believer in Intelligent Design. Einstein believed in a deity (though not the God of the Bible). Einstein said things like, "God does not play dice with the universe" (when he disagreed with Heisenberg's Uncertainty Theory and the resulting quantum...

    Did God Create Fossils?

    I understand. You enjoy tearing things apart. I've been there. I knew all the contradictions in the Bible, chapter and verse. Everything the Higher Critics dreamed up, I accepted as Gospel. But then I saw something I wanted more than tearing things up. More than trusting that when the Higher...

    Did God Create Fossils?

    I guess they shouldn't have published Einstein's first publication on relativity because he was a poor student, none of his professors would recommend him for a degreed job and he was working in the patent office as a clerk, a job not needing a degree. And nobody else can comment in this blog...

    Did God Create Fossils?

    On the issue of Noah's Ark, the whole thing began with miracles. Noah knowing the Flood was coming. Then God ordering the animals to enter the Ark two by two without any help from Noah. I'm sure Noah was wondering how this whole thing would be possible, too. But, God makes a way. Anything we...

    Did God Create Fossils?

    My response to Colter starts with the 2nd paragraph below. First I'd like to respond to the AIG reference that Paloma provided. I was a little disappointed in that because I felt the arguments were a little weak until the end. The two best arguments were the total volume of the Flood deposits...

    Did God Create Fossils?

    No, the sand came from the waves breaking upon the lava and then rolling around the larger broken pieces until they ground each other down into sand. I didn't make up the observation that scientists observed when visiting the island some years after it had been created. Don't make this into an...

    Did God Create Fossils?

    How on earth do you come to the conclusion that radiometric dating has nothing to do with nuclear science? I did name the whistle blowers in my earlier comments. You must have read them with little attention. Evolution has worked its way into almost every science, so you have to cover many...

    Glad to hear you're a 7-day guy. I am too. I'm also a nuclear engineer retired after working 26 years for a national lab. I've seen the bad science that goes on in dating. I talked to a potassium-argon (KAr) dating technician who stated they regularly throw away half the estimates without even...

    Did God Create Fossils?

    Scientists used to spout this unfounded observation about sand. Recently an island rose from the sea composed of lava. Within a few years it had sand on its beaches. Some scientists have adjusted their view of how long it takes to make sand.

    Did God Create Fossils?

    Wow! What an illustration of your 'scientific observation'. We had a local dam collapse here in Idaho and some houses had up to three feet of mud inside. Since the highest mountain was covered by the Genesis Flood (the only credible on-site reporting we have available on that flood), that...

    Did God Create Fossils?

    Bishop Ussher didn't just add dates. He collocated each verse of the Bible with history going on at that time. Some of these added passages explain obscure references that might otherwise confuse the reader. Many Christians use helps: Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, Halley's...

    Did God Create Fossils?

    My estimate was based on a published quote. You looked and laughed. Hmmm, let me think. What's more credible? Colter stated, in part, "...anyone who you disagree with is corrupted by the dark forces." I didn't say you were corrupted, or at least, possessed by demons. The Bible says to test all...

    Did God Create Fossils?

    Interesting comment. I worked as a nuclear engineer for 26 years for the US government, predicting the future at the Yucca Mountain Repository a million years into the future, considering such issues as change of government and language, change of climate (including ice age conditions in the...

    Did God Create Fossils?

    I didn't say the archeological record was getting closer to the YEC ("young earth creation") account. All I meant was that whenever the Higher Critics have challenged historical events as reported in the Bible, they've been proven wrong. It's a rather entertaining and illustrious record. Based...

    Did God Create Fossils?

    You have me mystified. I believe that fallen angels once cavorted with human women, producing the Nephilim giants. This is an area of debate amongst theologians, even those who believe in the Bible as written. Many seem not to want to discuss these giants, but their existence was upsetting...
