    If Genesis is LITERAL then where do birds and animals come from?

    I would in turn suggest reading some of these: The Canon of Scripture by F. F. Bruce The New Testament Documents: Are They Reliable? by F. F. Bruce The late F. F. Bruce was the Professor of Biblical Criticism and Exegesis at the University of Manchester in England. There are many...

    If Genesis is LITERAL then where do birds and animals come from?

    Before you could speculate on this, you'd first have to establish that "all the tampering, editing, and screw ups that happened over the ages" actually exists and to what degree.

    That's why it's a statement of faith.

    The majority claim inerrancy in the original autographs, not in manuscripts or translations.

    Tyranosaurus Rex, and other beasts in the pre-sin world...

    The short answer to this is we don't know for sure. We are left to speculate based on what limited information we have. As for myself, I am of the opinion that it happened as a result of the fall. We have no reason to believe that things didn't change due to this. However, there is an error in...

    Tyranosaurus Rex, and other beasts in the pre-sin world...

    Their teeth are sharp and serrated and they lack molars, yet are believed to be herbivores. There's a bit of an equivocation here. You use "perfect" with the meaning "completely suited" when the actual meaning of the word in Deuteronomy one of "complete", "whole", "entire", "without blemish"...

    What about the pachycephalosaurs? Actually, the word is "good". The Bible does not indicate that the Creation was perfect.

    The literal and figurative portions of Genesis?

    In a nutshell, I find the Irreducible Complexity argument much more compelling than Common Descent. Ack! Basically, the Hebrew word that is translated to "day" in Gen 1 ('yowm') has several meanings. It can mean day as in daytime, day as in a 24-hour period, some indefinite period of time...

    I'm going to have to bow out on this one. Thanks for spending the time. You've given me a lot to think about.

    YEC explanations

    You're moving the goal post. Are you going to say that Creationist argue that these layers were laid down "all at once" now? I see no issue here. In fact, I can see that this sort of thing would happen during the flood. It's not like the waters would come in and just sit there. Very well. I...

    YEC explanations

    It's basically the abridged version of the same article. You should read the reviews of that second book on Amazon. It's kind of sad in a way really. Anyway, if this guy is so well respected, by all means defend him. Which one(s) is/are the problem? I've only been able to find mention of...

    YEC explanations

    No, I'm avoiding digging though what is obviously a poor source. But if you insist. One thing that is immediately obvious about this seemingly anonymous article is that its reference list is missing some key references. This added to the fact that many of the links in the entire article are...

    I had to step down as moderator.

    Take care and hurry back. I'll pray for your speedy return :)

    YEC explanations

    I'll agree that the mainstream does focus on the catastrophic nature of the flood and I can see how you could misunderstand this. I think they should spend some time on other aspects of the flood which would not be considered "raging" and such. Brand's work was refuted by some geocities site...
