Hello I am assuming that your post is in some way, either a response to or prompted by my article on June 4th entitled A Day Is a Day Is a Day of Course. If not, please forgive my unfortunate assumption and therefore my response to your article. Your title “Is the Day-Age View of…
This is a response to my article published on sbctoday.com, 6/4/14 entitled, A Day Is a Day Is a Day of Course: Unless That Day Challenges Evolution! Part I. I also posted this article on this blog, December 22, 2014. I am sorry about the disconnect. This should have been published sooner. I have a…
This is the last article in this series, which looks at the strengths of interpreting the word “day” in Genesis chapter 1 as a normal lunar day and answers objections to this normal reading of the text. The first three considered strengths of such a reading and this final article considers some problem verses.
This is the third part of this series of articles, which looks at the strengths of interpreting the word “day” in Genesis chapter 1 as a normal lunar day. The fourth and final article answers objections to this normal reading of the text. As mentioned in a previous post, any evidence or arguments I make…
This is the second part of this series of articles, which looks at the strengths of interpreting the word “day” in Genesis chapter 1 as a normal lunar day. The fourth and final article answers objections to this normal reading of the text. All four parts are numbered consecutively.
Genesis has been a battleground for some time, and today is no different. This is particularly true of Genesis 1-3, which is the account of the creation and the fall. When I first began studying the Scripture, I recognized the importance of the first eleven chapters of Genesis, but in retrospect I did not fully…
Astrophysicist Jason Lisle provides another explanation for “the distant starlight problem” in his paperÂAnisotropic Synchrony Convention—A Solution to the Distant Starlight Problem Â(see Pt. I for other proposals) He states the problem thusly, “Since light travels a distance of one light year (about 6 trillion miles or 9 trillion kilometers) in one year, it would…
How do those like me who believe in a recent creation and that the days of Genesis chapter one are actual solar (24 hour) days (see my article A Day is A Day) reconcile that with the time scientists say is necessary for starlight to travel to earth? Astrophysicist John Hartnett succinctly states the difficulty…
The key for Darwinian evolution is the increase in information and the transmission of such. For example, the information needed for slime to produce more slime only needs to be sufficiently slimy, but the information needed to transition to a sophisticate is indeed astronomic. “That is, particles-to-people evolution requires changes that increase genetic information (e.g.,…
Some skeptics as well as some sincere questioners ask, “If God took a rib from Adam to make Eve, then why don’t men have one less rib than women?” The answer is simply, he would not pass on a lost rib onto the next generation anymore than he would pass on a missing finger, toe,…
