I suspect that if today's geneticists and molecular biologists can accomplish such technical wonders as gene splicing and cloning, that the much greater intelligence of Satan could potentially have done it too. The inner workings of the DNA molecule would not have been hidden from the prying eyes of Satan and his henchmen. If today animal genes can be inserted into human DNA, could not it have been accomplished by malevolent spiritual beings bent on destruction of the "image of God"?
Obviously we cannot speak with certainty, for the Bible gives little detail. At the very least, Satan's demons could have selected and indwelt certain men and women, and performed selective breeding experiments to produce over the generations a race of giants. (He could have done the same with animals too, and maybe that's where some of the unthinkable features we see in the fossil record come from. This could represent Satan's rage in trying to fully destroy any vestige of God's once "very good" creation.) Could he not have inserted genes and fabricated clones, mocking and ruining God's majestic handiwork? Perhaps this is why God had to send the Flood, eradicating a civilization beyond repair and starting anew with Noah, preserving the true seed of Adam.
Looks like the ICR is pulling out all of the stops on this one. ;-)
Do you these people are ever embarrassed at the stuff they write?
The above, btw, sounds like good material for a Chick tract.
That's the first time I ever heard that one!! I know some creationists are drifting away from the ICR because of doctrine, not science, but I never saw anything like that.
The Bible does say that when the Anti-Christ is killed inthe middle of the 7 year tribulation, he will be resurrected by the Pwoer of Satan, made alive again through demonic power, but there is no mention of Satan ever having thispower ever before, and it sure sounds like the ICR thinks he already has some power!! Goodness!!
Sounds reasonable to me. [Fade in: theme from The Twilight Zone.]
Surely you jest!
Surely the ICR website was hijacked by hackers, who wrote this as a joke. I mean, they couldn't possibly be serious about such stuff.... OOOOPS!
Oh, well. I wonder when ICR will be sponsoring a witch burning. Minions of the Devil, you know.
While they're at it, do you suppose ICR will come out foursquare against pool halls? As the lyrics of "We've Got Trouble" (The Music Man) tell us: "The game with the 15 numbered balls is the Devil's tool!"
