It is my hypothesis! I wish you or some other scientist would build on that. If science represents the search for truth, then we must consider all reality instead of excluding from it what is most precious to Christians. God either exists or he doesn't. If he does, then science will never discover what really happened in the deep past if they close the door to true search for truth.
Like the SETI array?Science considers the evidence. If no evidence exists, you wouldn't want it to be manufactured, would you?
They do. Here is one example. BTW, Dr. Roth is a man who shares my views about origins.And creationists don't have their own journals to publish in? They don't have ways of getting their research out to the public?
Is there a problem with the Allen Telescope Array being built?Like the SETI array?
Since I believe the Flood was global,
I believe there was more water on the earth during the Flood than there was when the creation week ended.
Where did all that water go then, after the Flood?
Scripture seems to indicate that God ordered the Flood waters to go to a rendezvous point -- probably for removal from the earth, else the earth would obviously still be underwater.
So again, where did all that water go?
I believe God "siphoned" it off the earth and put it somewhere else in the solar system.
Now it gets interesting.
Since God dosen't do anything haphazardly, I believe He may have put the water ... along with all the "floaties" in it ... on Neptune to serve as some sort of "warning beacon" to rogue angels that may be contemplating visiting us and repeating the events of Genesis 6.
Much like emperors of the past would put victims heads on poles to adorn the entrance to a city as a warning sign of who they were messing with; God may have put the dead bodies of the dinosaurs, humans, giants (nephilim), layers of earth and so on as a "final warning" to these angels.
Just a pet theory of mine that nicely explains:
- where the water went after the Flood
- why there's no physical evidence of the Flood
- meandering rivers
The moon has no seas, never has. Those are lava flows. Where did it go after Mars? The water is not here any more you know.For those who disagree with me about Neptune -- and believe me, I expect them to -- I have a simple question:
Where do you think the waters went?
Some think the moon was a viable placement (hence its "seas"), some think Mars (hence its "channels"), I think Neptune.
I specifically made it clear that the scientific fields involving the expertise of dating rocks, sediments, etc., is not that of evolution, rather geochemistry and geochronology.
So his area is biology, why is he publishing something in the area of sedimentology? Anyway, thanks for the link, I will read it.They do. Here is one example. BTW, Dr. Roth is a man who shares my views about origins.
Ariel Roth
Creationist biologist and geologist
Biography
Ariel A. Roth has published extensively on the creation-evolution issue for over 50 years and is a leading figure in Flood geology. He is a former professor of biology and director of the Geoscience Research Institute at the Loma Linda University in the USA and editor of the scientific journal Origins. Roth has a B.A. in Biology from the Pacific Union College and a M.S. and Ph.D. in biology from the University of Michigan. In addition he has qualifications in radiation biology from the University of California at Berkley and in geology and mathematics from the University of California at Riverside. He is a member of the Geological Society of America and the Society for Sedimentary Geologists. Roth is a prolific author of scientific papers in the fields of biology and geology as well as of the book Origins: Linking Science and Scripture. For more information see interview with Ariel Roth. See also his chapter in In Six Days.

Yes, I did understand what you meant. You answer is correct for those who believe in deep time and millions of years, which I do not share. This is why I suggested that it was in the eyes of the beholder.
When a person rejects the idea of common design, he gets stuck with evolution and deep time.
If you ever see the employment requirements for Answers in Genesis or other such sites you will see that they order their employees to abandon the scientific method. They have to assume that the Bible is right no matter what the evidence says.
The problem with the scientific method is that it requires a commitment to materialistic philosophy. This is something a true Christian will never agree to. In my view, an honest and open minded Christian scientist should never accept the wrong notion that there are no scientific errors in the Bible.

I gave you some examples of major life forms: dogs, elephants, and rats.
My field is religion. My dissertation dealt with abortion. I know very little about biology and geology. I do agree that we did not evolve from chimpanzees; but I do not accept the notion that we share a common ancestor. We do share, though, a common design.
Denying a fact does not make it false. There is no reliable evidence for your claim, there is for mine.We do not share a common ancestor with apes. What we share with apes is a common designer.
And why there is such huge gap in our abilities? Can you discuss this topic with any of the apes? My bet is that the future descendants of apes will never match the mental capacity or the language abilities of humans. The reason is quite simple: Humans were created in the image of God, while apes were not.
I suggest that you adopt the common design hypothesis! It would solve the most serious problems of evolutionist scientists.
I am sorry but you are listening to creationists that bought into some hype from Project ENCODE. I am not at my home computer right now, but I can give you some links later today on this topic. But here is a simple "proof" of the existence of Junk DNA. Are you more "complex" than an onion? Not according to your claim, they have several times the DNA that you do. Are you more complex than an amoeba? Not according to you, they can have up to 200 times the amount of DNA than you have.The Junk DNA is not junk after all. Scientists are beginning to discover that such DNA have a function in the organism.
I reject abortion as well.
