Dear neilW, Carbon dating has that after 5,730 years the carbon breaks back down into nitrogen, and then after another 5,730 years it breaks down again cutting things in half, and then again in 5,730 years breaking it down to a quarter and so on. That is why it is only accurate up to 5,730 years, beyond that it is not very accurate. What scientists have done is to measure the amount of carbon in the air now and taken that to mean that a certain amount at a certain level should be present in dead organic material. What they have failed to do in making a measuring tool is to measure the level in organic material now that is comparable to the organic material from then inside the organic material instead of in the air. They are assuming that the level in the air is the same as in organic material without testing to see if this is true. God's Day To You, Tamara |

Dear neilW, Try googling Dr. Kent Hovind - he has a dinosaur park in Florida (some controversy there, but he is a Christian, probably under attack). Kent Hovind is a biologist and anatomist who has put together about 36 hours of video seminars on debunking an old earth and evolution. He targets the science of these theoriess and shows the fallacy and errors in the evidence for an old earth while presenting scientific explanations for a young earth while he uses the Bible as a guide. Very interesting stuff indeed. I urge anyone who reads this post to check out what he is saying, never heard anything like it. He does not hold the popular well known young earth theories that abound, he has his own. Some of what he says is off about the Bible, but not much of it is off, only a little. Dr. Kent Hovind has his own theory about the creation and God which he says is based off scripture and scientific evidence. I do not agree with everything I heard him say either because he believes the angels were created at the same time as earth, discounting Job who describes them as crying out and singing at the creation of earth and the universe. I think he makes some valid holes in an Old Earth view. more to come, Tamara |

continuation, Tamara 1) The moon used to be closer to the earth and if this happened millions and millions of years ago the tide would have been so high that the life the scientist say existed then could not have survived because the tidal pull of the moon would have been too great. The rate at which the moon is moving only supports about 6,000 to 8,000 years of movement from the earth starting at place at which the moon would not have been pulled to the earth. 2) If the earth is millions of years old the pressure of the oil against the surface of the earth would have cracked the earths crust by now and spread over the top of the earth. 3) The current Big Bang theory cannot be true because there are galaxies, moons and planets that are spinning in the wrong direction for that theory to be true, the Big Bang states that everything spun out with centrifugal force in one direction, but it has been proved that celestial bodies are spinning the wrong way, this finding goes against some of the laws of thermodynamics. 4) It was possible for creatures and man to live to very long ages, if not indefinitely, and to grow to huge heights as men and animals have been found to be in great dimensions in skeletal remains by virtue of a huge earth wide hyper-baric chamber which would filter out the harmful rays of the sun and prevent aging altogether. 5) Contrary to scientific speculation coal which is from dead plants formed not due to millions and millions of years but due to the flood damaging and killing the vast amount of plants and trees that were huge which populated every end of the earth. 6) There were no caveman ancestors of men, if anyone were to live for two hundred or more years their face bones would grow just as has been found in cromagnun and neanderthal because everyone's face bones grow at a very slow rate outwards. 7) The ice age is possible to have occurred shortly after the flood and not millions and millions of years ago, the arrow heads that were found in the ice may have come from tribes of humans following herds of animals and they might have made their weapons in a hurry as they moved from site to site rather than that they were primitive people who had not evolved. 8) There is no such thing as prehistoric life, only pre-flood life, everything was bigger due to the hyper-baric chamber that had not fallen to earth before the flood took place. more to come, Tamara |

continuation 2, Tamara 9) If the universe is millions and millions of years old then there should be a whole lot more supernova rings to support that theory but there aren't. 10) There were reports from scientists, missionaries and village people in the last century of dinosaur like creatures in and along the Amazon river which is largely uncharted in terms of wildlife and is 9 miles wide at its narrowest point. 11) The danger of evolution to society is the genocide of millions of people for racial and ethnic cleansing. 12) Radioactive carbon dating is not accurate because the carbon breaks down every 5, 730 years and then again in the next 5, 730 years and on and on turning back into regular nitrogen and the scientist measure the carbon in the air assuming that there is the same amount inside living beings without having ever measured it in living beings to be able to compare that to what should be found in ancient samples of things that once lived. 13) Paralax trigonometry is only able to measure things that are 100 light years away and scientists are only speculating that the stars and galaxies are billions and billions of light years away. They can't even figure out if light is a particle, a photon, or a wave and not having defined for sure what light is can't accurately measure it. Studies have shown that light can be stopped and that the speed of light has decreased over the last 150 years measuring it against the atomic clock and it is not constant as has been purported. The black hole theory states that light can be pulled in by gravity a theory that has not been proved. Therefore light cannot be an indication of the age of the universe. 14) A human footprint was found on top of a trilobite making the theory that these creatures existed millions of years before man obsolete. 15) Core samples of ice rings at Artica were found down to 10,000 feet supposedly representing annual rings, but a plane crashed there in 1935 and was found under the ice at 260 feet and there were many hundreds of rings formed in 48 years making ice dating obsolete. 16) Tree ring dating is not accurate because trees can form up to two rings a year and the oldest tree on earth is only 4,300 years old, which corresponds with the age of the flood. 17) 85 percent of the earth contains only three areas which have the geological strata of the supposed millions of years ages and the evidence does not support from geology that the earth is millions of years old based on so little evidence not supported by the rest of the earth which supposedly changed over and over all at the same time.

continuation, Tamara I like his theory that the reason there is a fossil record of less complex found in rock strata the very bottem of the strata and complex animals at the top of the last strata, that scientists call the Mesosoic age and so on, is becuase when the flood came the fastest forms of life ran up hill and up mountain and the simpler forms of life were left down at the bottom at the time of the flood... Like I said, interesting stuff there, makes you think about the scientific possibilities for a young earth based on science and the Bible. Hey, we always said that the Bible did't contratdict science didn't we! Hahahahahah Love all of you muchly, hat lady! Hahahahahah |

Dear Silasfirst, Those were some interesting answers indeed indeed! Quote; Theology of Prayer, 202P Final, by Tamara Brewington, pg.1,2; The Lord is immutable, He does not change, He is omnipresent, He is omniscient and is in control of whether or not things will change. "If God cannot change, then why should we pray?" (SYSTEMATIC THEOLGOY, by Norman D. Geisler, pg. 85, par.6). "God is omniscient and an all knowing being cannot change His mind" (SYSTEMATIC THEOLGOY, Norman D. Geisler). God allows what He has ordained as a means of accomplishing His purposes, and God has forordained everything that happens because He has complete control of everything that could ever happen, or does happen. "Prayer is not a means of getting our will done in heaven, but a means of God getting His will done on earth" (SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY, Norman D. Geisler, pg. 86, par. 1). Some would arugue that there are instances where God, "changed His mind" as if He decided that something He did not intend was now something He did not intend simply because man imprecated on Him and then saw a change. That change, however, had to have always been in God's plan, or else God is not perfect in character and omniscient. God never decides that His own will is wrong; even when God stated that He repented when He made man in Genesis 6:6 His omnipotencce must factor in. God always knew man would sin and He always knew that He would be sorry He made man, or else God is not omniscient and omnipotent. God was never out of control of man, He has always had the power to effect His will over man, it was never possible that man could do something to make God change His actions because God is omnipresent, omnipotent, every where at all times and all powerfull. The only possibility that remains is that we are unable to see what the will of God is in our sinfull state and that our cirucumstances are subjective to a relative finite exsitence. Our existence in the universe is finite and only relative to the will of God, we live in a subjective reality under the sovereignty of an omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent Holy God who exists in an objective reality in an infinite realm both inside and outside this finite univers. His existence is eternal, immutable and His will is unchangeable, therefor there is no such thing as our prayers actually changing anything as the popular saying goes; we are only ever able to finally be in a position with Him to grasp His Holy will, pray it and receive what appears to be change. God only appears to change His mind from our relative subjective fallen understanding of God's will in events. God is the same, yesterday, today and tomorrow and He does not change... God's Day To You, Tamara |

Dear Jim, Hi there guy! We have to accept first what scripture said, scratch our proverbial heads a bit and then try to make sense of what the words meant to them when it was wriiten to them, not what it means to us reading it now. Fact - Jesus said Jonah was in the belly of the sea monster for three days and three nights, that makes that part fact, right? Fact - Jesus said He too would be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights, that makes that part fact, right? Okay now turn to Mark 15:42-47 - Jesus was buried the day before Sabbath could begin, the Sabbath begins on Saturday, so Jesus was buried on Friday. Look down at Mark 16:1-6 - Mary and the women came on the first day of the week to anoint Jesus and get told, He is risen that morning of the first day of the week. That is Jesus in the tomb before the sun went down - Now, see John 18:28 - The Jews wanted to hurry up and get Jesus crucified before sundown so they could eat the Passover with clean hands. So Jesus was crucified before the sun went down on Friday and got up sometime early Sunday morining that is a fact. But you have to look at the fact of that time frame of from Friday evening to Sunday morning and realize Jesus could not be mistaken about it being three days and three nights no matter how it looks. So the question is never did He get crucifed on Thursday (did not say you said that), He did not the text shows He did not. The only possible question there could be is what did Jesus mean by three days and three nights? It has to be exact, but it also has to fit the real time frame of being somehow not three full days, right? It is exact and it does fit the time frame. Here is why... The New Testament is written in Greek, Jesus spoke Aramaic. Whatever the Aramaic word for day that Jesus used Mathew knew what He meant by the word day. Mathew chose a word, the Greek word Hemera, number 2250 in the Strong's - it's actualy translated as literally - the time space between light and dark, or the whole twenty four hours, figuratively a period of time as any part of a day. So if you look at that very real definition there is no reason why we can't understand what Jesus was really saying in light of what really happened. What Jesus actually was saying was accurate when you factor in that what He meant was figuratively a period, not twenty four hour periods. This issue is about a figure of speech, it has to do with the use of the word Hemera as being it's last listed meaning - a figurative period. You are wondering what in the heck I am saying by now aren't you because it does not seem to add up yet does it? Here is what we now have to turn to to understand how Jews calculated time in Jesus day. This is fact, not speculation, not conjecture, the Jews did count any part of a day as constituting the whole day, this is an historical fact. When we go back to the beginning, Moses uses the word Yowm in Genesis to describe a day. The definition of Yowm number 3117 is - the warm hours, from sunrise to sunset, or from one sunset to the next, or figuratively a space of time. When Moses used the word he meant night and day a twenty four hour day, but the word can mean a figurative space of time as any part of that day as well. Let's look at Mathew 17:23 and they will kill Him and He will be raised on the third day." Again Jesus uses the word Hemera as that any part of each of the three days constitutes a day unto itself and therfore it is correct that He rose on the third day whether they were three twenty four periods or parts of days. Mark 4:35 the word Hemera is used to describe part of a day - On that day, when evening came, etc. That the word Hemera can mean part of a day and not the whole day is not an idiom as John Gill purports but is a correct translation of the word Hemera as used by Jesus to mean part of a day as being one day. It is not about what scripture can intrepret that three days and three nights means 24 hours, 2 minutes, and 72 hours. It is about that Jesus meant part of one day as counting for a full day according to the Greek meaning of the word Hemera. Hope this helped, Tamara |

Dear Cheri, I agree the substance of the thing is the most important part above the consideration of timing here or trying to understand what Jesus said and what it meant. Here is a question about that timing and explanation you got there... If any part of a day constitutes a day, then why could it not be that; He was crucified Friday morning before the Saturday Sabbath begins, dies before sundown and is buried before 7 at night. He is in the grave by 7 on Friday night when the Sabbath begins counting as day one. He lays in the grave all Saturday and this counts as day two. He lays in the grave through 7 on Saturday night which counts as the beginning of day three and therefore this counts as one whole day. He gets up sometime before Mary arrives still in day three. In this way because any part of a day constitutes a whole day He indeed stays in the grave three days and three nights because any part of a day counts as one twenty four hour period? I don't know what you think of this and please like others in here that mean no harm, but don't understand why I always seem to say something different than what is presented to me, please don't take this as disputing your point or arguing or disagreeing. I am only trying to understand you, but also to see what the Bible actually meant to say... God's Day To You, Tamara |

94 | Can Christian teach unsaved about ghost? | Bible general Archive 4 | Tamara Brewington | 205749 | ||
Dear heart, Don't explaim anything about what you know about why evil is doing anything to a child, you are right it will only scare. The best thing to do with a child that may or may not be able understand the salvation of Jesus Christ is to tell her that Jesus loves her and read her passages of the Bible that speak about God protecting from evil. I would only do this if you are already close to the parents and have a relationship with the girl. The parents obviously have to be given the gospel in order to get the real spiritual guidance they need in order to have a godly peacful home. Don't get discouraged about helping the best help you can give them my dear is your prayers every day and by encouraging them to come to church to hear the gospel and by continuing to be friends with them and be a real support to them by telling them that you are going to pray for them. You can also offer to pray with them and pray for their salvation as well as the little girl while they are all present with you together and offer to study the Bible with them. Perhaps your compassion is something God will use to help them know Him. Don't throw away an excellent opportunity to be a loving Christian to an unsaved family in crisis, this is why we are here right? To provide a light to a dying world? Hope,faith,love, but the greatest of these is love, Tamara |

95 | Please HelpUnderstanding Sola Scriptura? | Bible general Archive 4 | Tamara Brewington | 205815 | ||
Dear Forum members, I understand this much about Sola Scriptura - that the Bible is the sole authoritative word of God. Please correct me if this is a wrong understanding and what if any tenets are listed in this understanding? I did go to Cristian.org and read the article but wonder if there is such a list which I am describing of tenets. Thanks everyone for putting up with my ignorance about some things some times...Tam |

Dear Forum members, Could someone elaborate for me why some Baptist churches are not inculcated with the various protestant confessions of faith and some are? What would you say about a Baptist church that is not inculcated with these confessions, but goes by Sola Scriptura alone? Not saying the two must be or are mutually exclusive to one another, I can see that they must have been built in some sense on the concept of Sola Scriptura... I am truly ingnorant of these things and really never, ever heard of Sola Scriptura before coming in here, it is not taught at my school (perhaps it is in the church history classess I don't know) and I never heard of it before in my small Baptist church or in the much, much bigger one where my school is affiliated at when I went to hear preaching there. The only thing I remember my pastor saying about anything in this area is that there are a whole lot of things out there that are considered valid creeds and practices, and I as your pastor am not saying they are not valid, but the only thing I will be teaching you here is a literal interpretation of the Bible because the scriptures are the final authority you don't need to learn what I say or what men say, my job is to teach you the Bible and only the Bible. God Bless everyone, Tamara |

98 | Creeds and Confessions Needful? | Bible general Archive 4 | Tamara Brewington | 205833 | ||
Dear quvmoh, Thank you... You said; Claiming to be a Baptist is like claiming to be an American. There are as many denominations among the Baptists as there are subcultures within America. There are Southern Baptists, Cooperative Baptists, Free will Baptists, Anabaptists, Independent Baptists, American Baptists, and on and on. Yes claiming to be a Baptist is like claiming to be an American, but my question was about the specific question of why some Baptist churches whatever their practical bent may be, use creeds and confessions. After all the Roman Catholics aslo do this, but where theirs may go beyond Sola Scrtiptura as the traditions of men, my questions centers around why some Baptists use the traditions of men as the creeds and confessions are... Taking into consideration that they may be based on Sola Scriptura. And in light of that it would not really matter what kind of Baptist I claim to be, but why other Baptist denominations use confessions and creeds... Could someone elaborate for me why some Baptist churches are not inculcated with the various protestant confessions of faith and some are? What would you say about a Baptist church that is not inculcated with these confessions, but goes by Sola Scriptura alone? Thanks for the help quvmoh, Tamara |

Dear hopalong, Good answer! But tradition is traditon and not Sola Scriptura! So then why in the world would any of us go around submitting to any traditions even if they are Protestant, like the Westminster confessions and the Baptist Creeds my friend?! The question stands; why do certain Baptist churches go around following the traditons of men, even if those are Protestant creeds and confessions if we are adhering to Sola Scriptura? Do you see the problem yet? God's Day To You, Tamara |
