Most misleading and dishonest videos I saw in a long, long time. You should be ashamed of linking this pseudo-science. I have absolutely nothing against anybody saying that they believe in God and that God created everything because of their religion, but twisting science like this to convince others is just plain wrong.

Proofs against evolution:
And many more are available :) God provided us all the evidence we need of our creation and not our evolution.
Evidence of creation :confused: No :confused: I didn't think so! A Bronze age book of superstitious beliefs is not evidence!

Bronze age = 3600 to 300 B.C. depending upon the continent.

The King James Version of the Bible was completed in 1611 AD.

Just because your ancestors are from the bronze age doesn't mean everything was. :wave:
The KJV is a copy of a copy of a copy! It is also NOT in the original languages of the scriptures!

On the contrary, it is a bronze age book, as the book you're citing, Genesis, was first compiled between the 6th and 5th centuries BC - smack bang in the middle of the Bronze Age of that era for the time.

There is a way, but you must be divinely inspired.

"All Scripture is given by inspiration of God..." (2 Tim 3:16).

When it says that all Scripture is divinely inspired it not only means the authors were divinely inspired to write it, but also the readers are divinely inspired to understand it when they read.

So, which human-inspired interpretation of divine-inspired understanding is correct? Trinitarians or non-trinitarians? Virgin birth or no virgin birth? YECs or theistic evolutionists? Muslims or Christians? Jews or Christians? Protestants or Catholics?

And how do we verify them?

[irony] You won't find "bronze" in It ... you will find "brass" though. [/irony]

We can use science to verify the Bible. For example science says that the world is 4.6 billion years and Noah's flood was what we would call a local flood.

19 Do not quench the Spirit.
20 Do not despise prophecies.

21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.

22 Abstain from every form of evil.

Right, which contradicts the Bible when it says the world was made in six days and Noah's Flood was global.

When It == KJV of course. Plenty of bronze in other versions.
I am pretty sure the mines you will find are tin. Esp in southern England are some ancient tin mines. Zinc came a little bit later on in time. Of course this was important for making the best weapons. The iron age came along soon enough. This could be important for farming also. I can not imagine they could get much plowing done with stone tools. Although I am sure they tried.

Indeed ... to make science and the Bible mesh, many people allegorize the Bible; and Noah's Flood gets plutoed.

Ya ... it's not like those who translated God's words into a ... "better version" knew the difference between zinc and tin, is it?

(God does, though.)

Genesis 4:22 And Zillah, she also bare Tubalcain, an instructer of every artificer in brass and iron: and the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah.

(Almost as if God knew this "controversy" ahead of time, isn't it? ;))

A guy named Lyell was a Creationist that gave us uniformitarianism to replace the theory of catastrophism. This is part of Old Earth Creationism and Gradualism. Science does not support a young earth.
