Hi Henry, We do not have to dismiss the fossil finds. Dinosaurs could have easily lived before the flood, feeding their huge bodies on the massive vegatation growth. The razor teeth of T-Rex, for instance, long assumed to be a predator, would be the perfect carrion eater. Noah could have easily taken dinos onto the ark as babies. The Creation Evidence Museum in Glen Rose TX (they have a website - site-search fossils) has numerous examples of modern fossils that show fossilization can happen quickly, and that just because something is fossilized does not mean its excessively old. My favorite of theirs is a fossil of a sewn sandle having stepped on a trilobite! Skeletons of "partially evolved" humans have without exception been shown to be either outright hoaxes, or of people with known physical maladies. The Paluxy (sp.) River in Texas has fossil dino footprints with human footprints inside them. The point is, the fossils and other geological finds do not contradict the Bible, but they have by and large been falsely interpreted. I hope this helps. Love in Christ, Mark |

Hi, Mark! Excellent post! We rely so much on the exactness of scientific theories that we forget that theories are just educated guesses... Remember when they were talking about the extreme age of the universe and how it was folding upon itself... those theories vanished when they discovered that in actuality the universe is still expanding and expanding and... Our desire to have absolute domain keeps us from believing and trusting God but, just as Jesus said (John 5:42-44), we are ready to believe any argument put forth by man, regardless of how devoid of truth/fact it may be! God Bless! Angel |

Perhaps you folks would be interested in some concepts that give weight to biblical creation. 1. We don't really have any records, finds, artifacts, or any other evidence that predates the bible. Ancient Egypt is by far the most ancient most historians deal with. There are others, but this as just an example. If man existed prior to biblical record, where are the findings, archaeological or otherwise? 2. As Mark pointed out, the skeletons on the evolutionary chart were almost all hoaxes. The only one that was genuine was the skeleton just before ours, and it is so close to what we are, there is really no difference. 3. Mark addressed the dinosaurs insomuch that they existed at the same time as man. To add to that, it is a biological fact that reptiles continue to grow their entire life, as opposed to mammals that stop at a certain point and regress. If man was living an average of 1000 years, by comparison in scale, just how big would a six hundred year old lizard be? 4. Under a pressurized, oxygen rich environment, some species, as observed in controlled environment experiments, were shown to grow to abnormal size. Most specifically, the beaver and the dragonfly. Such an environment also promotes good health, and most importantly, it eliminates the amino acids that contribute to decay. i.e. People have the potential to live forever in such an environment. Also, in this particular environment, iron does not rust orange. It rusts white. The same controlled experiments have shown this truth through observation. In the middle east, near the area of the Jordan, artifacts were found. Iron implements that had rusted white. 5. Scientists (of Christian orientation) have concluded and concurred with secular scientists that the earth at one point did not have clouds as we do now in our stratosphere (right sphere? I forget.) They belief in what is called "the greenhouse theory." This theory, briefly stated, suggests that the earth was covered by a layer of water in the sky. This layer did at least three things. It created a pressurized environment. It created an oxygen rich environment. It caused the world to be at one moderated temperature. Some evidence put forth on this theory are the frozen ferns in Antarctica. 6. If this dome of water collapsed, the world would be flooded, the temperature would become horribly unregulated and cause some places to freeze, like the polar caps which are farthest from the sun's rays, the pressurized environment would dissipate, and the oxygen would thin causing death, decay, and significantly shorter life spans in humans. Compare these facts to what you know from the creation through the flood. See what you think. Ancient |

5 | Skeletons of evolution? False? | Genesis | JCrichton | 126966 | ||
Hi, Ancient! Thanks for your post! Is was very informative... I particularly enjoyed reading item #5--I've heard some murmur about it but had not found corroboration... as I was reading it Genesis 1:7 jumped at me: And God said, "Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water." So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse "sky." And there was evening, and there was morning-the second day. (Genesis 1:6-8) Isn't it marvelous, how God reveals the workings of the universe in terms that are easily grasped by all--even when it takes science thousands of years to come to formulate a comprehensive understanding of such workings? Every day I learn more and more about God's Majestic Prowess and His ability to humble Himself for us! What a Great Teacher: Immeasurably Patient and Loving! God Bless! Angel |

Hi Angel. I'm glad I was able to give some good edification. There is a little joke/story I heard, and I found it amusing. Perhaps some of you might also find it so. "It is said that scientists spend their whole lives searching for the answers. They search the stars, cross the seas, and delve to the bottoms of the oceans. In all things, they refuse to accept God as a constant parameter in their equations and regard Him instead as a floating variable, assigned the wrong value time and again. But when all their research is done, they finally confront the tallest mountain, and having searched high and low, they know that the answer lies just on the other side. To both their shock and dismay, as they crest the peak and view the valley beyond, behold, it is the city of the theologians that had been there for a thousand years, waiting with open arms." I heard that story and got a laugh. Love to you, Ancient |
