Bible Question: This is just a thought, but I was wondering if some of the human remains that scientists are discovering and using to try to prove evolution, are people who died in during the Flood. It's something that I've been thinking about lately, could it be true? |
Bible Answer: Interestingly the only human remains that can be proven unquestionably to be human and have accurate dating is the one called Ice Man. He was discovered in a mountain pass in Europe and is thought to be about only 5000 - 5500 years old. Well within what is the normally accepted time frame of the Creation account. Many of the other discoveries have been found to be fraud or to have had their discovery area so contaminated that accurate dating is not possible. Interestingly while the above info is common knowledge in the scientific community our schools are still teaching from text books that lists various human and non human remains that have been proven fraudulent or incorrectly dated. Most scientists will admit if pressed that there is a major flaw in the atomic theory and this flaw renders most carbon dating very inaccurate. Outside factors have been proven to effect the deterioration of the atom’s life. Therefore a dating with out a valid sampling of the surrounding environment can throw the carbon dating off enough to render it useless. EdB |
