Excellent point. This is one of the main exegetical reasons vern poythress accepts the analogical day approach to genesis chapter 1-2. You can read more in his book "redeeming science". Dr. Poythress has taught at Westminster seminary for many years and is a very conservative bible scholar.

Hi Nate: I'm glad you feel the Lord's blessing upon your studies. It is very important as Christians to have a robust confidence in God's Word as Truth. I'd urge you as you continue your investigaton to keep in mind that all truth is God's truth. Whatever we discover from special revelation...

You are accusing brothers and sisters in Christ of dishonesty. That is a serious charge. They have a worldview in which the Bible plays the leading role in making truth claims. In light of their worldview and biblical interpretation they filter everything through that worldview. To a certain...

No, they don't say that. They say that the evidence when "properly understood" confirms their position. "Properly understood" to them essentially means rejecting much of the scientifc consensus on origins. No, it's not dishonest. They are simply saying that God's Word is true and if anything...

Thanks thaumaturgy...you actually anticipated my next question (What radiometric studies have been done on Vesuvius). :) I found the info on the varve/tuffs on gmorton's site (thx samiam). cheers

Hello: If my memory serves me correctly, I believe there are multiple Lava/ash layers located in the Green River formation. Have scientists done radiometric studies on these (I would assume so) and correlated the varve difference (years) between them to see if they match? Any pointers...

Hi Mallon: What other verses/areas in the Bible would you point to as being examples of the Bible being written from the perspective of an ancient Hebrew cosmology? You've mentioned the "pillars/earth established" type of verses. Also implied in your answer would be Genesis 1 and 2 (I...
