The Flood & Darwin
I will put my hand up to finding it hard to believe in the biblical account of the flood because I’ve been indoctrinated since childhood with Darwinism. It leaves me with huge unresolved issues!
First and foremost Jesus refers to Noah, so He believed in the flood and the Old Testament narrative, including Adam and Eve!
Second, the Old and New Testament wirters clearly believed in the genesis account of creation and the flood.
Recent DNA studies are pointing to our origins being to three women and then to one who the “scientists” are calling “Eve”. The three of course point to the three wives of the sons of Noah.
So many of the fossil remains of Dinosaurs and other animals suggest that they were killed and buried very rapidly in order that they be preserved at all. Any animal that dies under normal circumstance will either get eaten or decompose. Too many dinosaurs are in brilliant condition. There are cases of groups of dinosaurs all together in a jumbled heap, suggesting drowning. Finally of course we have the recent bizarre case of live tissue being extracted from a T Rex, still elastic. That is simply impossible after 50-60 million years. It is laughable that the scientific community have not capitulated!
Here’s a fine example, the fossilized remains of a dinosaur and its eggs together in one spot. Explain that in any way other than a sudden violent event.
My human skeptical mind does ask though why, if all the fossil layers date from the flood, why are there not thousands of human fossil remains in those layers?
For a proper scientific response I recommend Nathaniel Jeanson, here is a simple to follow talk on why Darwin is essentially wrong! A “New Origin of Species“
Nathaniel is particularly known for his work on mitochondrial DNA. Changes occur in human DNA over time. Significantly there are not enough changes to suport the idea that man has been around 50/100/200,000 years. Again “scientists” ignore the evidence. Nathaniel’s figures differ a little from the diagram below, but the dramatic difference is still evident. For a fairly simple presentation click here.
