Here is your worst nightmare Erika interviewing an academic on the interpretation of Genesis.

I would love for this Dr Bart Ehrman and "my worst nightmare" to take my creationism test:

1. Explain the difference between creatio ex nihilo and creatio ex materia; and give two examples of each.
2. What was the first object in the universe that had mass?
3. Eden in the Bible is known as __________ on a secular map.
4. What literary device reconciles Genesis 1 and Genesis 2?
5. Put the following in order that they appeared in the universe: whales, stars, trees, sun, land, sea, outer space.
6. What day was Adam created on?
7. Was the universe created a closed system and, if not, what kind of energy did it run off of? if it was created open, what closed it?
8. Describe terra aqua and what kind of water it consisted of and why.
9. Photosynthesis required light from the sun prior to the Fall. true or false?
10. Explain how a 24-hour day could transpire before the sun was created.
11. Explain the difference between "miracles" and "magic."
12. When discussing Creationism, why should one never let himself stray from Genesis 1 or 2?
13. Why is "heaven" singular in Genesis 1, but plural in Genesis 2?

I'd flunk those two in a heartbeat.

Better than relying on some little girl on youtube spouting nonsense. A God of creation who is above His creation and is able to control it and subdue it by doing the miraculous. Now that is something to place faith in.
She a 28 year old young woman pursuing a Phd in Biological anthropology. Quite frankly, she knows what she is talking about.

why would a church teach geology or biology? The whole thing is so weird.
It doesn't. The RCC accepts evolution. We don't teach science, we leave that to the scientists :)

Yes, I know that. It was my point. Why *would* a church teach things like science? It frankly makes no sense. When they do, they end up in traps like the topic of this thread.

Watching ... ahem ... my "worst nightmare" now.

Thanks for the video.

I'll comment on it afterwards.

Your worst nightmare is just a pinprick, compared to their coming worst nightmare.

Go ask the creator and see if you are right.
If there is a creator, which I doubt, then the OP has asked the creator, via a careful study of creation. No need to rely on faith when one can test ideas against reality.
