    What has happened to us?

    Mark, I am a creationist. I've given a very literal interpretation of Genesis 1-11 elsewhere on this forum. It is more literal and has fewer problems than the interpretation you use. I have backed it up. I gave two examples. Be my guest and answer them. In 15 years, I've only known...

    Genesis?

    No it doesn't. The Hebrew is "evening and morning." I can only find two other places where the Hebrew says "evening and morning." Ps. 55:17 and Dan. 8:26. Both of these clearly indicate long periods of time. In addition, Genesis 2:4, indicates that Gen. 1 took an extremely long time.

    SBG, No, I tried to make it clear. The big name YEC leaders in the big name YEC ministries are liars. I gave an example. Every other YEC who repeats those lies has allowed himself to be duped by these people. I believe Vossler doesn't believe they are lies either. That doesn't change...

    Believe in Genesis Chap 1-3?!

    Wild, Jude endorsed Enoch's prophecy. Do you count Enoch's prophecy as Scripture? If you don't then you really don't believe in Enoch either. If you do, you're going to be in trouble with your fundamentalist church.

    SBC, Would you like to go back and count all the times in the past month that a YEC has claimed that TEs and OECs are unbelievers? Yet you just told one of them that he did it with the best of motives? Well why can't you give me the same benefit of the doubt? I gave a link with two...

    I'm not misrepresenting Hovind. I've got a DVD of his debate with Hugh Ross. Hovind says a lot of things. He used the H word several times. If what you say is true, then Hovind just likes to throw out the word heresy just for effect. I'll pull up quotes when I can and post the examples.

    Genesis?

    Brad, Don't listen to Breetai. :) Think of it this way. Breetai thinks Adam = man. Paul said Adam was the first Adam and Christ was the last Adam (I Cor. 15:45). If Breetai is right, Christ is the last man. What is Breetai? Since it's settled that Christ was not the last man, it's...

    What has happened to us?

    Yes, you are correct. I've not really given much detail at all. The first time, the preacher had a change of heart (money was involved), repented of his "sin" and started vehemently condemning those who believed what he formerly believed. My wife was pregnant and had cancer at the time so we...

    What has happened to us?

    It's titled: Creationism The subforum for young-earth and other creationist members. SBC asked why the animosity. I guess you expected an answer of, "Because TE's and OEC's are unbelievers, liars, and heretics just like Kent Hovind says."

    Genesis?

    Define reliable. Without calibration, it's probably good to within about 5000 years all the way out to near 100,000 years. In certain lake beds, there are several distinct layers of debris laid down each year. Layers such as early spring silt, late spring pollen, summer insect parts, fall...

    Vosseler, if they are lying to you about such a trivial detail, something so easy to check, then how do you know they aren't lying to you about how the Bible actually reads? Which version? They said Hebrew. I've done it in Hebrew. I've done it in Greek. I've done it in over a dozen English...

    Genesis?

    Brad, Hebrew has no tense. It just says things were done. The translator has to decide when Two possibilities. They're retelling with more detail. Or this is a completely different man and woman than was created in Chapter 1. Consider the second option seriously. The serpent is assumed...

    What has happened to us?

    SBG, YECs control the conservative churches. TEs and OECs are labelled unbelievers, compromisers, and heretics in almost all conservative churches. I'm am far more conservative and far less compromising than my accusers. My family has had to leave 3 churches over these issues. All 3...

    Vossler, http://www.answersingenesis.org/hom...0020208_104.asp Take as look at this picture. How many times have you repeated it? It's a lie. Ham knows it. But he hopes you don't check. I haven't seen you response to this yet. I hope it means you're actually looking. Let me give...
