the crafty attacks on evolution, page-38

re:milesg "Where are these millions being introduced to the bible for the first time" - these are places called Asia (esp China) Africa, Sth america (you may have heard of these. The Church is dying in the West through our apathy, wealth and acceptance of stuff without question. Be happy - you're winning!

"imagine the same group hearing the bible for the first time" - happens all the time and they usually burst into tears of joy as finally their meaningless existence has a purpose and meaning (because we are not accidental specks in a random, chaotic universe that came from an explosion of nothing)

"We are all descendents from one man and woman"
Ever heard of "Mitochondrial Eve"? A bit scarily close to the truth for those evolutionists.....

"The whole earth was created less than 4000 years ago."
Well actually less than 10000 yrs ago, probably between 6-7000 yrs. This is a biggie to get used to after all the indoctrination about millions and billions of years but the evidence is there (geology,astronomy, geography etc) both to cast very serious doubts over the long age concept and supporting a so-called "young" earth (we only call it that because we are so used to the millions and billions stuff - without that I would think that 6oooyrs was quite a long time really)

"During that time there was a great flood that covered the world and one man made a big boat and loaded it with a female and male of all animal species"
Yes. Not all "species" - just all types. Plenty of room on a ship the size specified in great detail in Genesis. Refer to previous post re "rapid speciation". Try www.worlwideflood.com as well. The world's geology just screams out about a catastrophic flood associated with major seismic and tectonic events. Note marine fossils seen on Everest (pushed up by major tectonic movements post-flood), massive thick layers of rocks all showing evidence of being laid down under rapid flowing water, the fossil record (which makes MUCH more sense if seen from a flood model approach - fossils only form in cases of rapid burial, not like in the science texts which dscribe the dead fish gently sinking to the bottom [yes, sinking - unlike any other dead fish I have seen] and quietly being covered up under slowly growing sediments [while not being eaten by predators or scavengers] and fossilising over millions of years. Sorry it just ain't so!
If scientists can serious suggest a catastrophic flood on Mars (to explain large areas of smoothness) where no water has yet been documented (not that I doubt that there is water there - the Bible suggests it) but poo-poo the idea of such a flood occurring on a planet 70% covered with water where if the surface were flattened then the average depth would be in the 1000's of metres (and the continents would have been flatter, since the great mountain ranges are accepted to be due to tectonic plate movements, and this occured as a natural consequence of the physical processes that caused the flood (it wasn't just 40 days of bad weather where the cricketers couldn't play) then who's blinkered? Look up "runaway subduction" or "catastrophic plate tectonics" on google and do some research. These ideas aren't complete or without some holes to fill but neither is our "accepted" science on these subjects.

"Burning bushes that did not burn"
Come on, give God a little credit. The Laws of Physics or any other natural Laws are only our intelligent attempts to describe the ways God has designed our world to function. That He may choose to occasionally depart from this and intervene (there are better examples than just a burning bush!) is His business but you can take it up with Him yourself someday.

"Commandments hand from some mythical god that were caved in stone"
Mythical only because you choose to think so - a bit risky if you ask me. God gave us language - I'm sure He was an excellent speller and could write very neatly on those tablets (later Moses broke them and God made him write them out again himself!)
Languages are supposed to have evolved but guess what - languages have become less complex over time - our grammar is far simpler than the the languages we have supposedly evolved from. There is little link between major language groups so either it evolved separately in various places or it happened just like the Bible said where the nations were confused and separated by the confusion in language (read about it yourself). We won't even go into the vast gulf between supposed ape talk and comunication and the incomparable language skills of even the tiniest baby in comparison.

"The scientific community would not be pissing themselves laughing, they probably would have walked out in the first five minutes"
No, there would be lttle to laugh about (I've been to so-called "debates" on this and it is very sad to see that the evolutionist scientists very quickly reach for insults and personal abuse rather than grope for anything that supports the theory they seek to defend. They would certainly leave (why wait 5 minutes?) because the threat of what the Creationist model proposes (that there IS a God and that we are bound to accept His Authority not just run our own lives any old way we like - secular humanism and relativism) is far too confronting and scary for the proud self-reliant humanist.
