Why don't we take the fossil record and the geological column in another thread?
There is no problem for me don't you worry. Do you know what scientists do when they find a fossil NOT in their supposed period? And living fossils found with dinasours is very interesting for us to discuss.
We will find out in the new thread..
You quote Matthew, so let me ask you a few questions:
-Do you know when Matthew was written?
-Do you know who authored Matthew?
-Who has the originals of Matthew?
You should know the book you rely so much on, so I would expect a quick reply without a need to look it up.
Matthew of course wrote this book, one of Jesus' disciples. Around 50 to 80 AD.
Yes. They cheer because they are well on their way to getting a Nobel Prize for overturning evolution.Do you know what scientists do when they find a fossil NOT in their supposed period?
Generally though if you look at the fossil record you have the bottom dwellers at the lower parts of the record. Then you get the free swimming ones like the fish and other sea creatures. Then comes the mammals and birds. So a flood could produce the same thing. the bottom dwellers would be in place because generally they are not free swimming and are at the bottom of the sea. The fish would have been next as they were already in the waters and some well below the surface. Then the mammals as they were land creatures and then the birds that would have been affected last as they were in the air. Makes just as much sense as evolutions fossil record. Consider to that they have found creatures that they say should not be in certain layers and also small lighter shell creatures on top of the highest mountains and well in land. This shows that some could have been mixed up as well from the torrents of the flood which can explain the anomalies that the fossil record can show. Makes sense to me.

I rely on the whole book of the Bible, that's 66 books. No I do not know all facts about the Bible, I am in the process of Learning. The Bible has endless information, you can never get to the bottom of it, it is full of wonderful and fascinating facts.
So tell me?
Matthew of course wrote this book, one of Jesus' disciples. Around 50 to 80 AD.
Who has the originals?
And why is this relevant?
Do you read what you write? How is it possible for Matthew to have written the book 50-80 years after Jesus? How old was he when Jesus was alive?

This never ceases to amaze me!
A person can put there total faith in a book, but they have not chosen to objectively explore the book from a scholarly or historical perspective, they just believe everything it says, because that is what they were taught. Yet, on the other hand, these same people, will complete a myriad of psychological gymnastics, to discredit the work of science, even though science develops testable and empirical evidence to back it's claims. This is the king of double standards and hypocrisy.
Regarding Matthew, no Matthew did not write the gospel that has his name on it. In fact, NT scholars agree, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, were not written by any of the four names attached to them, but were actually penned by ANONYMOUS authors who wrote the gospels in Greek and Jesus' followers spoke Aramaic and were also mostly illiterate. They were also written 30-70 years after Jesus died, contained no verifiable eye witness accounts and have tons of errors and contradictions. The originals are lost and we only have copies of copies starting around 200AD.
Why is it relevant? Are you serious? You put all your faith in this book and ignore objective evidence from science when it disagrees with your book and you ask why is it relevant to examine the credibility of the book that causes you to ignore reality?
Yes. They cheer because they are well on their way to getting a Nobel Prize for overturning evolution.
It matters a lot. [you do not listen, so I won't explain here]
What is your source you are using?
I disagree. Who was Luke? He was a physician, a doctor, and you say he was illiterate?
In 1994 Dr. Carsten Thiede compared a fragment (the Magdalen papyrus, 17P64) with 4 other manuscripts and concluded that either this is the original of Matthew's Gospel or an immediate copy written while Matthew and the other disciples and eyewitnesses were still alive.
This Book is more valuable than you would ever know. Yes I put my faith in Jesus and believe that these are His true words.
I think it is pretty good and very scientific.
Why are you guys argueing about one word? All fish were created on day 5. That's one physical day. The next day God created animals and humans.
There's a huge problem. If you want to understand creation, then you can't use the evolutionary time table and the periods, like the devonian WITH the creation story and the flood.
If you get the point across that all things were created in one week and the flood came 1656 years after, you will see that things
1. Had time to grow and reproduce and spread out, thats fish, animals and humans.
2. They couldn't have died in the same order they were created.
3. The Flood itself was a huge event that caused a whole heck of damage and change in the plates, eruption, deposition, erosion, etc.
4. Other natural disasters caused more damage and change.
The Devonian period is the narrative of the evolution theory, it has no way of being applied to the creation except if you think of it ib days, not in millions of years
You asked a question and I answered it, what are you on?Can you stop making random comments that don't pertain to anything?
Thanks
In spite of evolutionists assumptions to the contrary, the fossil order can be explained in a creationist framework,
The fountains of the great deep (Gen. 7:11) would logically have buried small seafloor creatures first.
Water plants would generally be buried before coastal and mountain plants. Land creatures would be buried last, especially the mammals and birds that could escape to higher ground.
