• -re:the bible teaches YEC-ism, just like their ancient and medieval counterparts did.-=-=-=-

  this is the heart of the matter, whether the Bibles teaches as binding on all Christians, at all times or whether God is using these ideas to teach something else. whether a flat young earth with a 3 part universe is an accurate description or is a common sense then thought that is no longer valid.

   

  is Jesus teaching that demons cause disease or using the common sense idea to teach that He can heal? must i believe demons can be cast out into a herd of pigs in order to love God? isn’t this Ken Ham’s great idea that a young earth is an authority issue not a salvation issue? that young earth is so much a part of the ancient’s worldview and working definition of the physical world that we must believe it as well in order to honor God?

   

  it boils down to whether these items are an accurate description or reality or not. YECism is not, we know that, the writers of the Bible did not. they were wrong, the universe is not small, it is not young, since God gave us the ability to understand these truths, i believe you need to hold to them for the sake a a rational universe built by a loving God who would not deceive us by planting false evidence in the real world and asking us to be irrational to ignore it.

• -re:The creation was in six days. Inescapable if you approach the evidence without an evolutionary agenda. The days are regular days. That is why we have a seven day week with one day set aside for rest. Jesus spoke about these days as literal normal days. The 6 days is an airtight conclusion from Scripture.-=-=-=-
  assume YEC is right. look at a recent creation in 6 days. what is the evidence that this is truthful?how we measure time is something people are very conservative with. a year is a solar revolution, a month a lunar one, what is the basis for a 7 day week? the only ancient society with a 7 day week was sumer and it’s antecedents  it evolved out of a religious political ceremony of 15 days, twice a month.  even the word sabbath derives from this event. there is no racial memory of a 7 day creation week. the most logical length of a week is 5 or 10 days, the same origin of our number systems. several 5/10 weeks have existed.rather than the 7 day creation week being a reflection of what happened, it makes more sense that the writers of Gen were projecting their current time system back into the distant past to structure the narrative, google framework. God did not tell them how He created, nor when, nor how long ago. They used a very specific cultural artifact (7 day week)to explain and organize the creation narrative,  the facts are supportive of this theory, not of YEC interpretation.you have grossly misinterpreted it in terms of modern science because Ellen G White had visions. Your system is wrong, there is no evidence in creation for a recent young earth. as many historians have pointed out, YEC is a recent modern interpretation of Gen that answers modern scientific and historical questions not even considered by the writers of the Scriptures.

  there is lots of evidence that humanity is ancient, 200kya, that the racial memory of a recent creation does not exist, that the measurement of time of a 7 day week evolved only in the culture in which the Hebrews descended.

  if YEC was right i would expect the chinese, japanese, mayas and the incas to have 7 day weeks, i would expect a recent adam and eve founders event in our genomes, none of this is true, therefore the interpretation of YEC is wrong.

• -i hear things like “the Bible teaches a spherical earth” and the “writers knew about plate tectonics” when i overhear conversations after church. it amazes me that people believe such nonsense. it would be easier to show that dr seuss taught plate tectonics because yertle burped than to push it into the babylonian cosmology of the Hebrew Scriptures.there are no scientific easter eggs in Scripture, waiting for just the right historical moment to pop out and vindicate the truth of the Bible, no batteries in the ark, no space travel in chariots. in fact, very simple things like telling people to wash their hands, that it is morally wrong to own people, that germs cause disease, these things that would have saved untold suffering, yet God chose not to share them. there is nothing in the Bible’s physical description of the world that was not the common currency of the day. looking for modern science there is a fool’s errand, akin to a left handed monkey wrench, a joke to be played on the ignorant.

  the fact that it is done shows just how scientific, just how historically minded our culture is. we simply can not believe that the ancients thought slavery was the God ordinated necessary way to organize society. we can not believe that they thought the world was flat and the dome overhead was a solid with the stars hanging in it. it is a testimony to the power of our culture that we imagine the ancient’s conceived of a world pretty much like ours. so we find things like plate tectonics in Scripture to show that they were not ignorant of our common ideas.

  it’s wrong headed, the ancient Hebrews were people of their time. they shared the flat earth, nearby stars, sun and moon as travelers in the sky that all eyeball observers intuitively felt was an adequate and literal description of their cosmos. the key thought is if these things are being taught as binding on us or are being used to communicate something more than the nature of the physical world.

  must i believe in a hierarchical society, God on top, man then women then slaves in order to love God? must i believe in a historical adam, a universal flood, a language origin in babel, in order to respect the authority of Scripture? this is AiG’s big failure, to confuse the media with the message, it confuses an ancient description of the physical world with the cosmos itself. it confuses the Scriptures usage of an ancient now-known-to-be-wrong common explanatory structure like a universal flood with a command from God to believe X, like “love one another”.

  AiG substitutes a belief in an ancient set of stories about the nature of this physical world as a proxy for belief in a transcendent spiritual dimension. they make faith tested by a commitment to an ancient cosmology because they can not see how God can use something we know is not just inadequate but a wrong description of the world to teach something that is true.

  to AiG, if the flood did not occur, universal, covering a whole spherical planet, then the Bible can not be trusted. that is what they mean by an issue of authority. we know a recent universal flood never occurred, there is no evidence in the geological record period. the writer of genesis believed it, just like he believed the world was flat and had no idea that the americas existed, he was wrong. God did not correct him, God did not give him any sort of idea that the earth was a very small planet rotating around a star in a galaxy with 100B other stars. nor did God tell him to wash his hands to avoid bacterial contamination.

  get over it AiG, the writers of the Scriptures used a description of the cosmos, used a history of the world that we now know is wrong. the issue for us is to understand the message without getting hung up on the media, forcing people to choose between modern geology or modern molecular biology and faith that God did it.

  Science cannot say anything about origins because God’s creative act wasn’t done the scientific way—it was done God’s supernatural and divine way.i’ve thought about AiG’s distinction between origins and operational science since i first encountered it years ago. it’s not new as “last thursdayism” shows.how to visualize such a claim?it’s as if God created this great movie screen at 6kya and projects this false history from the back. thus all unbelievers are deceived into thinking the story on the screen is really what happened. True Believers, armed with their Biblical understanding see the screen for what it really is, a false historical projection and preach that science has no access back in the world’s timeline before the creation of the screen.but as anyone reading even http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omphalos_hypothesis soon realizes the definition of who is a True Believer and exactly when this screen was created, let alone the nature of the controller of the projection, become very serious problems.the fundamental problem has to do with the nature of the past. there really isn’t any difference between last thursday and 6kya and 4.5Bya, except quantity, if you like AiG want to set some kind of qualitative difference(before and after the screen) you can not really anchor it anywhere between last thursday and 4.5Bya except by edict. so True Believers will end up defined as those few who accept your specific edict. like most things in religion it has no court of final appeal, no adjudication procedure to judge between competing screen creation dates, just groups led by little emperors each declaring how long ago their screen was created, and declaring their submission to their god as a result of their faith in the right date.frankly i prefer science’s court of final appeal-reality.

  from today’s FB page “It is so distressing that so many of our Christian leaders don’t seem to understand that to accept man’s fallible beliefs of billions of years, Big Bang etc, they are really undermining the authority of God’s Word. And to send a signal to coming generations that one can accept such false ideas like the Big Bang and billions of years they are taught at public school and secular colleges (and many compromising Christian Colleges) is a major factor why so many of the coming generations begin to doubt the authority of the Word of God.”—-he sees no difference between the words on paper in the Bible and the ideas they stimulate in his head. he completely identifies his particular interpretation of the Bible with the mind of God Himself. he sees no interpretive depth, no two horizons problem, no distinction between the writer and the reader. everything is one, the ideas in his head might have well been put there supernaturally by God instead of the human process of reading interpretation.what variant readings actual do is undermine the authority of those little emperors who believe they speak for God. when people realize that the authority of a community of interpretation, like AiG, is just that, the interpretation of a group of people. they will see that variant interpretations do not challenge the authority of Scripture but challenge the lines of authority they assented to when they accepted that communities word as God’s Word.
