What part of the evening and the mornings escapes them?  How does a Christian deny the 4th commandment?

There's also GAP theory. They say that there's a gap between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2. I used to believe that, that it was a recreation, because darkness was on the flood, but when they found soft tissue in a dinosaur and still said it was billions of years old I didn't believe it anymore.

Been there done that got the tee shirt. Their arguments have the very same flaw radioactive dating does. That fatal flaw is that they too assume that the current laws of physics have to explain it all.

Then you have not underst5 there arguments.

They are aware that assumptions are made about parent/daughter rations of radio active material, of the problems of contamination, that heat and pressure  can affect chemical processes etc.

May I suggest you look again at there sites.

Maybe give a few arguments in your own words and we'll see who does not understand what

Because the world in the bible record was different after it was created. Men lived 1000 years almost. Trees grew in weeks. From all the changes in created kinds we see in the fossil record we can deduce that adapting happened very fast. When do we know lifespans changed rapidly? The best point to pinpoint it is (not at the flood year) at the time of Babel, when another great change happened...the minds of people on earth were no longer able to process speech the same. One other change at the time of Babel that I deduce is that spirit beings no longer had the same access to the physical world as they used to. Two examples of this is that we no longer see angels marrying women on earth, and also, that it seems likely that a spirit being level at the time of Babel used to exist somewhere up in the sky. That would explain why they thought they could build up to it, and why that now seems ridiculous.

That is pure speculation on your part. There is no Biblical justification of what you are arguing for. I thought you were a Biblical literalist? Why do you add to it?

 The OP stated that this thread was separate from cosmological issues. I can easily deal with those, but this thread is to focus on earth.

On what justification can you separate the physics operating on Earth from the rest of the universe? There is certainly no Biblical justification. Again, this is speculation, not an adherence to Biblical literalism.

As to why the oil industry is successful, it discovered the patterns of layers and which ones tended to have the deposits they want! The reasons they think the layers came to exist and the time when they did is another matter altogether. They cannot defend that.

Yes. Based on radiometric dating techniques as well as stratigraphic principles.

What was added exactly? Fast growing trees and long lifespans? How the spans changed abruptly?

The rest of the universe (although it would be a walk in the park without missing a lick of an ice cream cone for me) is not a topic in this thread. Let's focus on earth. Possibly when I defeat you on earth we can move to the heavens:)

There is no radiometric dating for old ages. That is just a misapplication of young date radioactive dating onto an unknown past. A misreading of the actual isotope ratio patterns.

All of that. Show me where the Bible unequivocally states that "trees grew fast" and that other things changed along with just languages at Babel. YEC always claim to read the Bible as plain reading, or literally, if you prefer, yet here you are adding inane speculation to the text. Any you complain that TE's do that? What a double standard.

So you are saying that the "heavens" is referring to the universe? Your lack of historical and cultural context makes our discussion fruitless because you are insisting on a paradigm that I don't accept. We are not in the same ballpark.

The entire field of geology would argue with you on that.

In Creation week a garden was PLANTED. That week it bore fruit. Also when Noah sent out a bird to see if there was dry land it came back. He sent it out again a week later an lo and behold a fresh branch in it's mouth!

No one after Babel lived real long lives. The same can't be said of the flood. Also as I mentioned they tried to build up to a spirit domain. Angels also used to marry and have kids before the flood. Never again was that true so something changed somewhere along the line. In physical evidence we also see that the continents were joined at one time. That is another thing that probably changed fast at the time of Babel! Rapid continental separation that went on while the laws were still different than they were today! (Hence no killing friction heat). But it seems also likely that by the time things got to around where they now are we had entered this current nature/set of forces and laws. Why? Because a lot of heat was generated and remains to this day under the earth.

The heavens in the bible refers to where the birds fly and also where the stars are and also beyond that, the third heaven. This thread is dealing with evidence on earth. No problem if you run, you would be defeated later anyhow.

My quote you made. Both yes groups argue that radioactive  decay dating is inaccurate, your post implies  they were not aware of these assumptions.

They both also make the assumption that God works normally  through the processes  that science can measure.

Miracles while always possible are not Gods normal way of working.

I think we are so far apart on our approach to hermeneutics and interpretation, I doubt we can reach any consensus here.

If you want to suspend the laws of physics, or invoke some other pre-Flood physics, I guess you can do that. Honestly, I think you are over-thinking it in your apparent need to be right in this matter. Why not simply invoke miraculous intervention since these acts would not be bound by physical laws? No one can argue against that from a scientific or naturalistic view since it's supernatural.

What is this continued need for posturing? Are you 12 years old?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
