Mister Scofield's footnotes caused many a young man to stumble. Men seemed to be more gullible in those days and wanted so badly to believe whatever the high-fallutin' master class scientists of the day told them. We now understand how useless any data or dating techniques are if they oppose the truth that is so plainly stated in the Word of God. Men are finally coming around to seeing that the universe is less than 10,000 years old and was intelligently designed and intelligently placed into existence in mature form. Too bad they couldn't have just believed God and gotten on the fast track a long time ago. Some may not care about the facts of creation, but God cared enough about it to write it down for us in His Big Book.
I am puzzled why people think that mankind is splintered into groups or other creations,
adam is called the father of mankind in the Bible. Everyone is a descendent of Adam. in fact, science shows all human DNA can be traced back to one man. So even science here backs what scripture says.
I agree with you, if God write it down he must have found it important for us. There are some who believe the creation event was written pre flood and carried by Noah through the flood. And Moses rewrote the events pre flood. whether this is true or not we do not know. We do know God inspired it all. so no matter what. god thought it was important,
it’s funny how Satan and his army want to destroy the truth, even about the flood. From seperate human creations other than Adam, to local flood theories, all to take away fro. The truth.
I was one of those young men who first read about the gap theory in scofield’s notes. And was so excited about it. I finally had an answer for dinosaurs, and this time period which had to be there for things to evolve to what they are today (not evolution)but things like the Grand Canyon which needed millions of years to be formed) it is so freeing being released from that notion. I am able to see creation and the flood events more clearly.which explains so much of what we see,
it also is odd Peter warned us of these days, saying men will be. mockers, saying where is the promise of his coming, for since the fathers fell asleep all things have continued as they were from The begining, modern science is based on this fact,
