Not that I am aware of, but it wouldn't be a bad idea. But most people aren't aware that there is creation science. They separate science from Christianity, not realizing the 2 go hand in hand.

Do any of your Churches require belief in creationism and opposition to the theory of evolution to become a member?
I dont know because I refuse to join, but I think it would make since. If you do not believe Genesis chapter 1, can you really take the rest of the Bible seriously?

I agree with you 100% on that one. Genesis is the foundation for the rest of the Scriptures. If people think the earth is old or God used evolution or what not, it undermines the rest of the Word. I think this is one of the major battles we face nowadays.

Incest wasn't in the law til over 1500 years later, and for the first few generations, the genes weren't corrupted the way they are now . If you wanna talk incest, Adam married his rib! So that argument is faulty.

God created the duck billed platypus, pointed at it, and smiled at everyone who believed in macro-evolution.

Has anyone used this amazing creature in a discussion with someone who believes in macro-evolution? I have seen some people become speechless trying to fit this unique animal into their theories...

Hard for God to get mad at their ''incest'' when He commanded them to be fruitful and multiply, and the only people on earth are their brothers and sisters.

Naw, not really. There were obviously laws given before The Law. If not, there would have been chaos til the commandments were given.

Wow Bananabooo that topic is real great.

I kind of like bring to the members attention of one that that God said " let every seed bring forth of its kind, and every seed brought forth the shrubs,trees.......................
So when did God create the seed that were already in the ground.
To my opinion there might have been another civilisation in the world then God destroyed them all and as in the time of Noah the seeds were still left in the ground and God called them to live again.

Thats bring Science may be close to the truth but not all that they get fossils of 4 million years old and rocks that are 1 million years old.

But i didnt say this is the truth but an observation.

Hope this wont Generate argument.

That sounds good, but there's no evidence for it. That's called eisegesis, which is making the text say something that isn't there. All that reference is saying is a pumpkin seed will bring forth a pumpkin and not an apple. As for the civilization thing, no scriptural support for it. The reason they get fossils that are calculated that old is because their dating techniques don't work.

An interesting discovery in Biblical research regarding Genesis 1:1-3 is that in the original Aramaic, there is no verb form "to be." There is however, a verb form "to become." What this means is that , the word "was" is really the word "became."
Gap theory. Good stuff. By the way, Genesis was written in Hebrew, not Aramaic.

Genesis 1:2

1:2 was without form, and void. The verb “was” in Genesis 1:2 is the regular Hebrew verb of being (hayetha) and does not denote a change of state unless the context so requires. It only rarely is translated “became,” as the gap theory postulates here. Neither does the phrase tohu waw bohu need to mean “ruined and desolated,” as the gap theory requires. The King James translation “without form and void” is the proper meaning.

The Creation Evidence Musseum in Texas appears to have roof that man and dinosaurs existed together pre-flood. The have found fossilized footprints of a man inside of a footprint of a large dinosaur which could only occur if indeed they lived on earth at the same time. Also they have found stones thousand of years old that have carvings of specific breeds of dinosaur (some with 3 horns, others with long necks, other with large fins on their backs) which proves that early man were eye witnesses to living dinosaurs.

As for cavemen, think about this. Have you ever saw the skeleton of a man who live 300 years? 600 years? 900 years? Considering there are large concentrations of neanderthal skeleton around the middle east, coul be that these are the skeletons of humans who had aged a great deal? Just think about how gravity effects the body in 80 years... could you imagine the effects after 800?
well we know back in the OT people lived 900yrs
