Hebrew grammar experts have shown that historical narratives in the Old Testament have a very distinctive verb pattern. They start with a type of verb called a qatal (perfect) and continue with another type of verb called the waw (vav,8 ו) consecutives, or wayyiqtols.9 This verb type is frequent in the historical books of the Old Testament.
Apply this to Genesis 1, the first verb, ברא bārā’ (create), is qatal, while the subsequent verbs that move the narrative forward are wayyiqtols (ויאמר wāyyō’mer (‘and … said’), ויהיwāyehi (‘and there was’), וירא wāyyāre (‘and … saw’). Thus this has just the pattern one would expect from a historical narrative.

* 94. SEVEN THINGS CREATED BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLDWhat's in a name? Cf. "דייוויד"Seven things were created before the creation of the world. They are: the Torah, Repen- tance, Paradise, Gehenna, the Throne of Glory, the heavenly Temple, and the name of the Messiah. The Messiah's name was engraved on a precious stone on the altar of the heav- enly Temple, as it is said. His name existed before the sun (Ps. 72:17).

Taken as a whole, the seven things portray the parameters of existence: the Torah is the supreme source of instruction. Paradise and Gehenna represent reward and punish- ment, the Throne of Glory represents God's role in existence, the heavenly Temple im- plies the creation of the earthly Temple in the days to come, and the name of the Messiah signifies the End of Days. Finally, Repentance adds the human need for forgiveness.
The fact that Christ talked about Noah, Moses, Elijah and Adam, was he wrong?
Nope! He knew them to be real people.
Exactly & I knew you’d agree. Either they were real or Christ was duped.
The further back you go the less accurate and factual history is.
Utter hogwash!
Article is excellent. Rockingham’s position is hogwash but I understand he is completely ignorant of creation science.
“Creation science” is not science.
