Flood Geology

[Diamond72]

How could I have overlooked 14.7 billion years of history

That was not your question.

 

[Diamond72]

You cared enough to make some snide remark about me.

Correct, that is exactly what you did.

 

[Diamond72]

I don't care. I quickly getting annoyed with you.

All I am doing is quoting scripture. I am getting out of your way and this is between you and God.

 

[AV1611VET]

Correct, that is exactly what you did.

It's important for you to believe that, isn't it?

Makes me wonder how many other people you think that of.

Good move. A thread on geology isnt really the
place to quote scrip.

 

[Frank Robert]

Couldn't God have taken Adam's rib and did some rearranging?

There is no limit to what an omni God could do which is why there are thousands, past and present, religions and denominations all with believers. Which one is correct depends on who you ask.

 

[Aaron112]

Some say the dust of the ground's composition doesn't fit that of a human being, since even the proportions are wrong.

To that I agree.

And yet the most successful healer in history of the usa tested the people who came to him , the same way he had tested soil samples, and basically used the same methods or means as God revealed for both, to heal the terrain, the person, the body.

And/or I have heard simply that , or is it written? We came from soil, and the body returns to soil. Simply. No doctrine nor dogma.

Actually everyone who trusts the Creator enjoys the Scripture, so don't stop.

I believe the Bible and that is what the Bible says.
You seem to want to question and doubt that the Bible is true.

 

[Diamond72]

I tell many many people. The Bible is very clear about how we are not to judge others. As Paul says: "you are condemning yourself" Most people grasp the concept pretty quick and they will start pointing out where I am judging others. Which is fine because then I know they understand what Jesus is wanting us to know.

Matthew 7:1
"1“Do not judge, or you will be judged. 2For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Luke 6:41
Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye?
John 8:7
"Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her."
Romans 2:1
You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on another. For on whatever grounds you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

No, never, may it never be seen nor true that he or you or I ever question and doubt the Bible.
The 'vet' has some 'very' good and true, faithful and knowledgeable information and Bible Statements/quotes/truth in many of his threads and/or posts
as far as I've read.
Some ideas might or might not line up with the same as I or other believe, but that's okay for now.

Can you believe that there are some people who don't believe God even exists!?

Good!

I didn't say God changed the composition.

He just rearranged them.

For example, took out a little of this, a little of that.

Added a little of this, a little of that.

Got just the right combination of CHNO and went to work with it.

Praise His name!

 

[Aaron112]

Can I ? Yes. Do I ? Yes.
Does God's Own Word Say that people will deny Him, and even His Own People will reject Him ? Yes.

Good thing you don't do that with "Thou shalt do no murder"!

 

[Psalm 27]

This post belongs in the conspiracy forum.

Why? For what reason have all these geologists and paleontologists and all the other disciplines that rely on the observations made by these fields lied about what's been found and how they measured the age?

For what reason indeed.
The real conspiracy is the billions of years fabricated with no evidence.

 

[Warden_of_the_Storm]

For what reason indeed.

Says you.

 

[Aaron112]

For what reason indeed.
The real conspiracy is the billions of years fabricated with no evidence.

From something heard a decade or so ago,
when babies/little children are taught starting with words like "millions of years ago",
so they believe it not knowing better,

and they grow up still believing it not knowing better,
for those babies now grown up, is it a conspiracy or better called something else? some other kind of deception ?

 

[doubtingmerle]

Which is it, Merle?

You just contradicted yourself.

Did I give an explanation or not?

I had mentioned that you had given this explanation and then seemed to have backed down on it. So now you stand firm that most of the fossil record was formed in a giant divine cleanup after the flood?

I cannot understand why a God, who could have cleaned up any way he wanted, deliberately arranged everything to look like evolution over millions of years.

 

[doubtingmerle]

Really?

You have to ask this?

Do you know the difference between a basket with no fruit in it, and a basket with fake fruit in it?

For one thing, the basket with fake fruit weighs more.

For another, it has something in it: fake fruit.

If "fruit" in your analogy represents evidence that the universe is old, then yes, the universe has fruit. See, for instance, How Old is the Earth?. You can argue that it is fake evidence (fake fruit) but you simply do not have a case that the evidence (the fruit) is not there. The fruit is there.

So how do you like them apples?
