Cool story bro but read onThe two contradict eachother. How can you believe in both when there is no scientific evidence of creationism? What I mean by that is we have no evidence of a Noah's Arc, or Moses saving his people, or of the world being created in 7 days. Not only is there no sceintific evidence of these event happening, but there's also no historical evidence of them ever happening. The only historical evidence present is that from the bible.
Wisdom Teeth
The existence of wisdom teeth may very well take top dishonors as an alleged proof of evolution in the form of a vestigial human body part. It is stated that at one time in our alleged evolution we had more room in our mouths. It also has been suggested that we had to chew more than we do today. Both of these statements may be plausible, however they do not prove or even suggest that we are evolving. These teeth still function for chewing and are by no means useless or vestigial. The lack of space in the mouths of certain people and by no means all people is a consequence of the degeneration of the human race in regard to both genetics and lifestyles. This is quite contrary to the concept of evolution, which implies that we are improving and adding features.
Dr Cuozzos Research
Jack Cuozzo, a creationist orthodontist, did a thorough study of the skulls of so-called Neanderthals. His conclusion was that the Neanderthals were from a time when human beings had much longer life spans, developed and grew much slower, and were of superior strength, and possibly intelligence, if their larger brain capacities are an indication of this. Biblically-based theories of the degeneration of the human race are supported by evidence provided through genetic decline. The problems often caused by wisdom teeth are further evidence of this generation. Cuozzos discussion explanation for the problems that are common with wisdom teeth in modern times may be a consequence of an increased consumption of growth hormones in foods, and due to the heavy emphasis on cooked foods that require less chewing. Due to less chewing, jaw muscles will develop less size. This is an environmental factor, not an evolutionary one. Evidence of this is found all over the world. People who do more chewing due to raw diets, and who are not fed the huge amounts of growth hormones that western cultures are given, have few problems with lack of space for wisdom teeth.
Dr. Morriss Research
John D. Morris cites several other possible causes of wisdom tooth problems that have been suggested. These include poor nutrition, improper hygiene, and improper sleeping position in infants. Assuming that our not using these teeth means that they are useless is absurd. It is like saying the brains of evolutionary scientists are useless vestigial organs just because they do not use them. The theories of these creation scientists is strongly supported by the research published by the Price-Pottinger Foundation. The research of Weston Price demonstrated that cultures which consume wholesome diets that include an abundance of raw foods and no processed foods exhibit a sinificant reduction in dental problems. They had no cavities, and few if any problems with crooked teeth or tooth crowding within the mouth. This shows that overcrowding in the mouth, and subsequent problems with wisdom teeth, is connected with the degeneracy of modern man. The modern world has not only strayed from Gods plan for us in regard to our moral behavior, but in regard to everything else that we do. Modern mans lifestyle, music, art, clothing, and food is all unnatural and synthetic. A price must be paid for such rebellion. Part of that price is poor health, which includes poor dental health. Once again, the stupidity of evolutionists is by no means harmless. Listening to such follies as their teaching that wisdom teeth no longer have a use leads to poorer health and shortened lives.
Evolution is an attempt to explain how the diversity of life came about from simple origins over millions of years. The Bible tells us that about 5,000 years ago every land animal that couldn't fit into an ark was wiped out by a great flood. Subsequent to that event there had to be a method of creating many diverse species, which is how evolution validates itself. However, to take God out of the equation evolutionists MUST deny that the great flood; the world's most widely recorded calamity; never happened. This is what puts science at odds with religion; the insistance that religious teachings cannot be true because they don't conform to scientific principles.
Your opinion. You weren't there.i'm sorry, but what? the great flood of the bible is a disaster myth.
Your opinion. You weren't there. Jesus was there. He spoke of the flood, of Noah by name, of the destruction of man and of the veracity of the Scriptures.it didn't happen.
The global flood then occurs in the beginning of the first intermediate period and the presence of the petty kingdoms in the first intermediate period is the evidence that mankind is trying to re-establish its former population after the flood. Therefore the First Intermediate Period should not be dated 2152 B.C., but according to the Fourth Day Chronology the beginning of the First Intermediate Period should be 2313 B.C., the year of the global flood, or about 161 years earlier. If the Egyptian Chronology is shifted back 161 years the dating of Menes' reign would be corrected to the year 3081 B.C. which would be between the dates of the birth for Lamech (3095 B.C.) and Noah (2913 B.C.) according to the Fourth Day: Why the Bible is Historically Accurate chronology. This dating for Menes would make his presence consistent with the biblical appearance of the "men of renown".if it did, the written continuous historical records kept by the egyptians which date back to 3100 bc and the environmental evidence that shows they inhabited that area as far back as 9000 bc, wouldn't exist.

There is no evidence of descent, only commonalitites that could be as easily described by a common Creator as anything else. What we see in the fossil record is species that existed and died out with no provable ancestors or descendants. We see a massive explosion of fossils consitent with enormous flooding and mass burial in setiment. Other than that you have interpretations of atheists who provably manipulate time frames to suit their hypothesis. Show them a skeleton of a donkey, a mule and a horse and they will say it demonstrates descent, though we know it does nothing of the sort.Would you use this argument in the court case that I spoke of in the post above? Would you, as a defense attorney, tell the jury that they can just ignore all of the forensic evidence because they weren't there?
They do nothing of the kind. They are formations. Geologist speculate how under current conditions they might have formed. That is not to say they DID form that way, or that the global conditions were constant.We have geologic formations that record past events.
Opinion. Others have a far different opinion that the the geologic record PROVES a global flood.No recent global flood is recorded in the geologic record.
Again, this is your opinion. I could point to the Grand Canyon as evidence of runoff and the depths of the oceans as evidence of the volume of water that covered the earth. Some geologists have written entire books about flood geology, but of course you aren't interested in information that contradicts what you choose to believe.If there was a global flood we would have evidence for it, but we don't.
Christians believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God as verified by Jesus Christ Himself. You don;t have to have faith in Him. You can put your faith in the science of man and later defend your disbelief when you stand in front of God on the day of judgment.What we have are claims made by men about what Jesus said and what he was.
Science is good a measuring things that are right in front of it, but the further in the past an event occurs the more inaccurate the interpretation of the evidence. There are no tree rings that pre-date the flood. Also, since the Earth was created in its mature condition, I believe that the trees created on day three had rings just as they do today.We have annual ice layers, tree rings, and annual lake varves that span this same time period and they are uninterrupted.
You interpret the evidence one way, Christian geologists see it differently.If there was a global flood we would see it in these records.
Eyewitness testimony from the Son of God confirms that the flood did, in fact, happen. Your interpretation of the evidence is incorrect.The evidence quite clearly shows that there was not flood.

Let's say that there is a murder trial. There are no eyewitnesses to the comission of the crime, so the prosecution has to rely on evidence found in the present to reconstruct what happened in the past. To do this, the prosecution has a forensic scientist examine the crime scene.
What does the scientist find? He finds a bloody fingerprint on the door know that leads out of the room. The blood is that of the victim and the fingerprint is that of the defendant. In the parking lot the forensic scientist finds small drops of blood leading to a parking stall, and it is that of the victims. Tire prints leading out of the parking stall match the tires found on the defendant's car. When police search the defendant's house they find bloody clothes with the blood matching the murder victim. They also find a knife with the victim's blood on it and the defendant's fingerprints, and the knife matches the fatal wound found in the victim.
This would seem like a pretty tough case for the defense to win. Not so. You see, the defense is going to use creationist tactics. Evidence? Well, we are just going to interpret it differently. Afterall, forensic science has its limitations. God can do anything, therefore we can ignore all of this evidence. The appearance of all this evidence was simply a miracle, so we can ignore all of it. Instead, we use the creationist interpretation where we stick with our beliefs no matter what the evidence demonstrates because the evidence doesn't matter.
Does this sound like a compelling worldview? Why do creationists think that any sane person would be compelled by their dogmatic beliefs that require closing one's eyes to reality?
Your opinion. You weren't there.
One of the strongest pieces of evidence for a worldwide flood is the existence of what Rupke termed "polystrate fossils." Such fossils are found all over the world. They usually consist of fossil trees that were buried upright, and which often traverse multiple layers of strata such as sandstone, limestone, shale, and even coal beds. They range in size from small rootlets to trees over 80 feet long. Sometimes they are oblique in relation to the surrounding strata, but more often they are perpendicular to it.Not only were the beings that were alive at the time there. Not only was the topography that shows no sign of a global flood occuring 4,400 there. The civilizations that existed before, during and after the supposed Flood were there as well.

The evidence of a global flood is everywhere if you choose to accept it, and nowhere if you choose to deny it.
entirely possible the defendant did it. other possibility. defendant was drugged and unconscious. professional hitman does the job and carefully plants and alters evidence accordingly to make it look like defendant did it.
besides, the problem with evolution is all you've got are dead bodies, but no murder weapon, no blood, no tire tracks, and only one suspect.
For whatever reason, real or imagined, you are certain. You know.But if you trust science to explain medical issues, biology, atomic particles, physics, and the chemical make up of life, then why knock it down when it conflicts with the bible??
Because, by the testimony of the Holy Spirit who lives within me, the Scriptures are the only thing that I know to be true.
