What alchemy is this that turns protein fragments into young-looking tissue?
So, some guys from ICR, post-1992, carved the stones and buried them with the as yet undiscovered other stones and encrusted them with dirt to give the appearance of age...
Similar arguments were made to try to explain how the Old Testament prophets predicted events centuries into the future.
Since there are assumptions, the explanations have to [be made to] fit the assumptions.
Or he was a pre-flood human...
130 yrs old would be just hitting his maturity.
Good one. Hadn’t thought of that.
It is not compelling to you due to your own lack of knowledge and understanding.
Shorter Brian Thomas: “The researchers didn’t actually take a blood-rich bone, bury it so that it fossilized, and then come back millions of years later to see what was left, so ICR and its fans can safely ignore their work.”
I must say you make a good point: It is difficult for me to understand how ZEP(zero point energy) affects nerve impulse transmissions and thus accounts for super sized dragon flies.
But I’m certain you know all about this and understand it well enough, having seen the proofs, that you can explain in a clear and succinct manner. Feel free to do so.
But please keep in mind that Setterfield’s assertions in no way are proof of anything.
There is an excellent explanation of ZPE on the site.
ZPE is in fact a huge part of the demolition of popular cosmology.
I read it but I want to know what YOU understand and know of it since you say I lack such understanding and knowledge.
Please, share yours.
Thanks for the ping!
Are you playing a game?
ZPE is the force and glue that operates the entire cosmos.
No dark matter, no dark energy, or any other nonsense, just ZPE.
To get any deeper you have to look Yehova in the face.
StarWars? I liked a couple of the movies but I wouldn’t take the “The Force” as a reality.
do you believe tissue can survive “millions” of years??
The obvious is, they are NOT millions of years.
Are we really talking about tissue surviving millions of years, or just "protein fragments"?
That first heaven/earth world, that WAS, was destroyed when the first rebel rebelled. Genesis 1:2.
>> “But God says the heavens and earth are old, very very old” <<
.
No, he does no such thing.
Keep reading. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. This is a declaration without any hint of a time signature. Verse two follows with AND the earth became ..... yes, most translations use the word 'was', but it is not correct. Genesis 1:2 describes the rebellion of the devil and God casting him down. This earth was flooded and made uninhabitable. God did NOT create this earth in that condition. Isaiah 45:18----
IIPeter 3 describes three different heaven/earth worlds, and that word world means age(s). That heaven/earth age that WAS was destroyed and there was a flood, which was not Noah's flood. Genesis 1:2 also states without question this earth was flooded.
There is no human recorded historical account of the casting down - overthrow when the devil rebelled. Yet we know it happened as described by Isaiah 14 and Ezekiel 28. This would have been a 'supernatural' war wherein NO flesh survived. Genesis 1:3 - describes the 'superfund' of 'superfunds' to clean up this earth for it to be a habitable place for the newly formed flesh humans, (which were not living until the breathe of life which means soul/spirit intellect was breathed into their nostrils) and the rest of the creatures God created. We are not given the date when all souls/spirit intellect were created. But they existed during that first heaven/earth age.
Christ and Paul both used the noun and verb form of 'casting down - overthrow'. Paul says the elect were chosen BEFORE the foundation of the world. That word 'foundation' is the Greek translation for 'casting down - overthrow'.
Noun katabole is used in the following --- Matthew 13:35; 25;34: Luke 11:50: John 17:24: Ephesians 1:4: Hebrews 4:3; 9:26; 11:11: IPeter 1:20; Revelation 13:8; 17:8: The corresponding verb kataballo IICorinthians 4:9; Hebrews 6:1: Revelation 12:10:
There is NO way if young earth creationists were correct in claims of a young earth would the Creator have allowed the religion of evolution to become the law of this land.
you cannot argue conclusions from false assumptions.
doesn’t work
Hugh Ross’ excellent “Reasons to Believe” website...”
Ross is a evolutionist (with a theistic twist)
