YES - A Trip Down Memory Lane

 


Do *YOU* remember creating #PlanetEarth ??

So, you don't actually "know" how old our fantastic home truly is, Right?

Deep Time is based on evolution.  The only place you'll find "instant evolution" is on another planet ... one where smart #APES rule the day:

Ivano Dal Prete (Senior Lecturer - History of Science @ Yale) has written a pro-OldEarth tome - On the Edge of Eternity: The Antiquity of the Earth in Medieval and Early Modern Europe which came out in 2022:  

https://www.amazon.com/Edge-Eternity-Antiquity-Medieval-Modern/dp/0190678895

You can read a large chunk of the book by hitting the "Read sample" button.

 

On page 4 Ivano references Aristotle.  I defend the view that Aristotle's Biology naturally leads to a #YoungEarth stance in the last chapter of this book:  

www.barnesandnoble.com/w/biological-essentialism-jay-hall/1140135320

 

On pages 5&6, Ivano deals with Martin Rudwick, a great writer on Geological topics.  Here is my response to The Meaning of Fossils (Rudwick):

https://adamslostdream.blogspot.com/2010/06/meaning-of-fossils.html

And also Earth's Deep History by Rudwick:

https://youngearthscienceblog.blogspot.com/2020/02/a-young-earth-with-critical-thinking.html

 

On page seven of Edge of Eternity we read this,

 

The core teachings transmitted by the book of Genesis, such as that the world was made by God with an act of free will and that a sinful mankind was exterminated by a flood in a not too distant past, were rarely questioned.

 

Some three-year-olds even know the first verse of the Bible: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Gen. 1:1).  That's the whole universe at the start, not just the earth.  The sun, moon & stars were made on #Day4 (Gen. 1:14-19).

 

What about "sinful mankind was exterminated by a flood" in the context of Genesis Six thru Eight (3 whole chapters‼).  The #GlobalFlood destroyed the whole world:

 

So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them. I am surely going to destroy both them and the earth." (Gen. 6:13)

 

For forty days the flood kept coming on the earth, and as the waters increased they lifted the ark high above the earth.  The waters rose and increased greatly on the earth, and the ark floated on the surface of the water.  They rose greatly on the earth, and all the high mountains under the entire heavens were covered. (Gen. 7:17-19)

 

But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water.  By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.  By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly. (2 Peter 3:5-7)

 

The Antedeluvians could have traveled around the globe.  I argue for early human global navigation here:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1088860788

So, if sinful people were everywhere, that implies a #Universal_Deluge

 


Did you see #Moana ?  Polynesians settled nearly every island in the Central & Eastern Pacific.  In 1976, a traditional double canoe made it from Tahiti to Honolulu.

Augustine is quoted on page 15.  Interestingly, the Bishop of Hippo (Numidia) held to a youthful world:

Even mainstream #Science admits that the tectonic planet may move as fast as seven times the current speed:

The Bidenator-in-Chief vs. the #HeatDeath of the Universe!


The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that entropy increases over time.  When you put #cream in ur coffee and stir it up, the cream does not get "unstirred."  Thus our good friend #Cosmos1 must ultimately be diagnosed with a #HeatDeath as entropy progressively increases toward a maximum where work is impossible.

https://www.britannica.com/science/thermodynamics/Entropy-and-heat-death

 #Trust_the_SCIENCE

 

Since the #Universe is still with us, there must have been a beginning (cf. Gen. 1:1) and #Creation is true.

 

According to #SwissCows Biden has no interest in Intelligent Design (ID):

https://swisscows.com/en/web?query=%22Joseph+Biden%22+%22Intelligent+Design%22&_=1717197392925

That is, the search yields Ø

 

What is the connection between Creation and a #YoungEarth ?  I argue the following:

 

Aristotle's Biology >> Biological Essentialism >> Catastrophism >> Young Earth

 

My book Biological Essentialism (pub. 2021):   

www.barnesandnoble.com/w/biological-essentialism-jay-hall/1140135320

 

I have written two books defending a youthful world from #History & #Science

Is a Young Earth Possible?  ★★★★½

  https://www.amazon.com/dp/1088860788

YES - Young Earth Science  ★★★★

  https://www.amazon.com/YES-WorldView-Fallacies-Darwinism-2014-11-14/dp/B01K3RF10I

 

Biden claims to be Catholic. Thaddeus Kozinski, former Academic Dean and

Associate Professor of Philosophy at Wyoming Catholic College stated that,

 

I am speaking of the Catholic theistic evolutionists. They overstep science’s bounds when they claim that debatable theories, such as the theory of evolution, are "facts" -  something that Pius XII condemned very unequivocally with regard to evolution in Humani Generis [1950].  They overstep science’s bounds again when they attempt to render certain non-verified, non-facts, such as common descent from mono-celled organisms, as verified, indisputable facts by recourse to, not actual indisputable evidence, but the social force of the so-called "scientific consensus," that same force that fires and character-assassinates people who publish peer-reviewed scientific articles that  conclude to, say, intelligent design of certain processes, and that excludes anyone but committed evolutionists to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences …  They overstep theology’s bounds when they dismiss the very serious challenges, not just to evolutionary theory, but to the very fact of evolution itself, from not only the Catholic  Magisterium and Fathers of the Church, but also from the latest scientific evidence,  which has, it must be said, proved neither common descent of humans from primitive organisms, nor the generation of all life, in all its glorious complexity and design, from mindless natural selection conserving random genetic variation and mutation.

https://dl0.creation.com/articles/p137/c13759/j34-3_27-30.pdf

 

Is "Sleepy Joe" headed for #Purgatory ?  According to the Council of Trent (1545-1563 AD):  

 

CANON XXX, If any one saith, that, after the grace of Justification has been received, to every penitent sinner the guilt is remitted, and the debt of eternal punishment is blotted out in such wise, that there remains not any debt of temporal punishment to be discharged either in this world, or in the next in Purgatory, before the entrance to the kingdom of heaven can be opened (to him); let him be anathema.

Join the #YoungEarth Revolution!

 

When it comes to origins we must face the question, “What happened“?  That is, did man come from molecules or are Essential Types of Life (ETL's) limited with respect to variability?  Biological essentialism implies stability and variety among basic categories of life.

If I said that President Kennedy’s head wound was the result of abuse of exotic Norwegian teas, you might think me insane.  Most agree that JFK was shot, but in some circles the “who” is controversial.

It is possible to be an essentialist and an atheist - they are wrong about the existence of God, but at least they’re correct with respect to what happened in the history of life.  Surely the ability of the incubator bird to keep its eggs at 91°F and 99.5% humidity did not evolve.[1]  When did an intelligent agent make a cell phone, bridge or clock through “evolution”?  Evolution is the method of an inefficient “god.”

Essentialism implies a young earth. If biological entities reproduce their own type, then all the main categories have always coexisted.  In order to match this view with the geologic record the time scale must be collapsed.[2]  That is, corals, frogs and people have always coexisted.  “Who did it?” is not the only important question.  “What happened?” is also critical.

The earth is cursed because of Adam’s sin (Gen. 3:17) and even the stars are impure in God’s sight (Job 25:5).  Stars blow up and thus lack perfection.  God made man perfect from the beginning (Eccl. 7:29, Mt. 19:4).  In conclusion, there were no tornadoes before Adam and Eve sinned.  This makes theistic evolution impossible.

The Westminster Confession states that God created, “...the world, and all things therein whether visible or invisible, in the space of six days; and all very good” (ch. 4.1).  That is, galaxies and angels are untouched by sin at the end of six days when man was created.  Also, the universe cannot be billions of years older than man!

Consider the following creationists:  Steven Austin (Ph.D. Geology) was published in the International Geology Review in 1999.  David Phillips (M.A. Paleoanthropology) works at the paleontology lab at the La Brea Tar Pits.  John Oller (Ph.D. General Linguistics) is an elected member of the New York Academy of Sciences.  Kurt Wise (Ph.D. Geology - Harvard) was privileged to have the late Stephen J. Gould as his principal advisor!  The “Against All Odds” video series, part of the Annenberg/CPB collection, is shown in many statistics university courses and contains a segment in program 2 entitled “Lightning Strikes in Colorado.”  It focuses on the research of Raul Lopez (Ph.D. Atmospheric Science) - a creationist![3] 

 

#DarwinDoubters of the world unite!  David Berlinski (Ph.D. Mathematics - Princeton) said, “The theory of evolution is the great white elephant of contemporary thought.  It is large, almost entirely useless, and the object of superstitious awe.”[4]  Thomas Emmel (d. 2018), who earned his Ph.D. in Population Biology from  Stanford, stated, “To me, the concept of God is a logical outcome of the study of the immense universe that lies around us…. the evidence is all too pervasive for me to think otherwise."  Arno Penzias (Nobel prize in physics for 1978) claimed, “Creation is supported by all the data so far.”[5]  Penzias’ sentiments are echoed by another Nobel prize winner in physics (1927), Arthur H. Compton: 

 

Science is the glimpse of God’s purpose in nature. The very existence of the amazing world of the atom and radiation points to a purposeful creation, to the idea that there is a God and an intelligent purpose back of everything ... An orderly universe testifies to the greatest statement ever uttered: "In the beginning, God."[6]

 

Even an atheist can hold to the fixity of kinds.  G. H. Harper published an article in The School Science Review (a British educational journal) advocating the “steady state theory of species.”  In other words, bears reproduce bears and frogs make frogs - biological essentialism.  Harper is an atheist.[7]

 

I was happy to take a course in the History of Science from Dr. David B. Kitts, formerly a professor of Geology, at the University of Oklahoma.  In that course he pointed out that many supposed overthrusts - where “old” rocks lay uniformly upon “young” rocks -  show no evidence of this interpretation, such as breccia at the contact, and has not been sufficiently answered by the evolutionary establishment.  In an oft quoted article, Kitts proclaimed, “If a paleontologist claims to have supported the fundamental tenets of Darwinian theory in citing the fossil record then he has indeed committed a methodological error.”[8]        

Dr. Kitts debated Duane Gish and Henry Morris in 1973 and was a student of the famous evolutionist George Gaylord Simpson.[9]  In an interview in 1981, Kitts said, “Aristotle, to a greater extent than almost anyone we know about, relied upon his observations.  He observed that individual members of a species do not persist but kinds do persist. ... Evolutionists have a very elaborate abstract theory that compels us to suppose that species do not persist.”  Furthermore, Kitts claimed, “The fossil record is consistent with an astronomical number of theories.  The fossil record does not prove evolution; nothing proves evolution.”[10]

 

Let us examine the wise words of Rufus Porter (d. 1884), the founder of Scientific American, who boldly proclaimed,

 

First, then, let us, as rational creatures, be ever ready to acknowledge God as our Creator and daily Preserver; and that we are each of us individually dependant on his special care and good will towards us, in supporting the wonderful action of nature which constitutes our existence; and in preserving us from the casualties, to which our complicated and delicate structure is liable.[11]

 

One can be an atheist and still attack evolution.  By "essentialism" I mean that all basic types of life vary within limits and we are not the amoeba's cousin. Herbert Spencer, an atheist, wrote "Illogical Geology" critiquing many of the ideas upon which Darwin based his arguments!

Young Earth Today 2031 - Happy Young Earth Day 2024


Welcome to Young Earth Today 2031 - Happy Young Earth Day 2024

Say “H3LL0” to #YoungEarthDay ‼

 

Go to my site to see my Young Earth Blog:

https://totalyouth.us

https://youngearthscienceblog.blogspot.com/

 

According to "Clod" - the Real Fly AI Guy:

Q: What is the latest or most recent scientific evidence for the young earth perspective?

A: There is no scientific evidence that supports the idea of a young Earth that is only a few thousand years old. This perspective, often called "young Earth creationism," contradicts the overwhelming body of scientific evidence from multiple fields including physics, chemistry, geology, cosmology, biology, and others.

The scientifically accepted age of the Earth is about 4.54 billion years old, based on extensive evidence from radiometric dating of rock samples, cosmic bombardment rates, radioactive decay processes, and observations of the structure and composition of the Earth, sun, and other bodies in our solar system and universe.


Some would say Young Earth Science (YES) is just so much baby talk: "goo-goo this and goo-goo that!"  However, I am not daunted by such opposition.  I have written two books supporting the #YoungEarth perspective from History and Science:

Is a Young Earth Possible?  ★★★★½

  https://www.amazon.com/dp/1088860788

YES - Young Earth Science  ★★★★

  https://www.amazon.com/YES-WorldView-Fallacies-Darwinism-2014-11-14/dp/B01K3RF10I

 

"Clod" is incorrect in claiming that is would not have access to my books.

Clod came out in 2023 and my books were published a few years ago.

Oaf.ai and Dolt.ai were not available for comment.

Clod even fails in basic logic ... I asked about the #AgeOfEarth controversy and the #AI_Guy switched topics to the Planets and the Cosmos ‼  I defend a young Solar System in this work (ch. 13):

Hey Clod!  Are you listening?  Let me break this down to your level.

A number of trees may live for thousands of years: Sequoias, Redwoods, Pines, Junipers and Olive trees.  So, where are the trees in the fossil record with say 2K rings or more and dated around 100M or older?  Could the lack of such evidence point to a youthful world?  See my books that favor a #NewEarthNow ! >>

A research paper published this year by Hebert, Overman & Sherwin reveals that  certain oysters in the fossil record seem to have lived much longer than their living counterparts.  It is not uncommon for some oysters to live seven years, yet their cousins in the ancient past may have lived 23 years!

https://www.creationresearch.org/crassostrea-oyster-fossils-show-evidence-of-extreme-longevity

Oysters are bivalves, salt-water mollusks.  #GetPearly_Withit

This evidence fits well with the great ages of the #Patriarchs with some living as long as nearly a millennium (cf. Methuselah @ 969 yo, Gen. 5:27).

Young Earth Today 2030 - Alpha vs. Beta Got SciFry?


Today's topic is an Alpha Course booklet:

Is There a Conflict Between Science and Christianity? by Nicky Gumbel (2016):

https://shop.alpha.org/p/139/is-there-a-conflict-between-science-and-christianity

 

You can read a sample here:

https://issuu.com/alphausa/docs/science


Alpha #3 (2016 ed.) vs. Coming to Grips with Genesis (2008):

https://answersingenesis.org/store/product/coming-grips-genesis/

 

The Alpha Course is a 15-session intro to Christianity.  More than 10 million people have been influenced.  It started with Anglican Holy Trinity Brompton in 1977.

https://www.christiantoday.com/article/massive.alpha.ad.campaign.to.reach.out.to.millions/13058.htm


TIME mag had an article "God vs. Science" and in it there was a quote from Paul Bloom: "Religion and science will always clash" (Gumbel, pp. 7,8). Bloom misrepresented & criticized Ben Carson in the Atlantic.  Bloom is a Psychology Prof at the University of Toronto.  Did Dr. Bloom separate twins connected at the head?

Ben Carson gave the Commencement Speech @ Emory University in 2012, how about Dr. Bloom?  I met Dr. Carson in Midland, Texas when he was running for President. Dr. Carson has criticized Darwinism and is sympathetic to the Young Earth view.  Carson on the evidence for #evo ... 

 

It's just not there. But when you bring that up to the proponents of Darwinism, the best explanation they can come up with is "Well…uh…it's lost!"…I find it requires too much faith for me to believe that explanation given all the fossils we have found without any fossilized evidence of the direct, step-by-step evolutionary progression from simple to complex organisms or from one species to another species. Shrugging and saying, "Well, it was mysteriously lost, and we'll probably never find it," doesn't seem like a particularly satisfying, objective, or scientific response.

Writing in the Atlantic, Paul Bloom claims that science is superior to faith:

"Religion has no equivalent record of discovering hidden truths.

So why do so many people believe otherwise? It turns out that while science and religion are as different as can be, folk science and folk religion share deep properties. Most of us carry in our heads a hodgepodge of scientific views and religious views, and they often feel the same."

"Scientific Faith Is Different From Religious Faith - Not all beliefs are equal"

Solomon was a scientist, Dr. Bloom should read 1 Kings 4:29-34.

Modern Science in the Bible by Ben Hobrink is a great resource - it was published by Simon & Schuster!!

https://www.amazon.com/Modern-Science-Bible-Amazing-Scientific/dp/1439108927

Former evolutionist Ben Hobrink lives in the Netherlands and works with Open Doors.

He now holds to the traditional view: Creation In Six Days #CISD a Global Flood and a  youthful planet.

 

Consider the Jewish health regulations.  Job said the earth hangs on nothing (Job 26:7).  Heb 11:1-3 provides this insight: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. This is what the ancients were commended for. By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible."  I can't see a quark with my naked eye.  In Job 15:15, we learn that even "the heavens are not pure in his sight."  That is totally consistent with supernovas, yet contrary to Aristotle's view!

The remedy to Brother Nicky's book is Six-Day Creation by Robert Gurney.

https://www.amazon.com/Six-day-Creation-matter-believe-Choices/dp/1846250978

This is also a short book that came from Britain.  Dr. Gurney was born in Burma and  received his medical training at Bristol. He's worked in Israel, Tanzania and Kenya and was a general practitioner in Devon.  Gurney's book is PC, Pro-Creation (Creation In Six Days, Global Flood & Young Earth). #CISD

 

Nicky brings up the Galileo affair (p. 8).  I would argue that one can make a Biblical case for heliocentrism:

Gumbel rocks with Galileo and noted that, "... there have certainly been periods in the history of Christianity when the church has opposed the results of scientific study. Galileo, the seventeenth century Italian astronomer, found himself in conflict with the Roman Catholic Church over his discovery that planets revolve round the sun. He was tried by the inquisition in Rome, ordered to recant and spent the final eight years of his life under house arrest"  (Gumbel, p. 8).


I'd recommend 7 Myths by my friend Michael Keyes ...

Francis Schaeffer points out that the opposition to the Copernican theory was not based on scripture but on Aristotle’s views:

 

When the Roman Church attacked Copernicus and Galileo (1564-1642), it was not because their teaching actually contained anything contrary to the Bible. The church authorities thought it did, but that was because Aristotelian elements had become part of church orthodoxy, and Galileo’s notion clearly conflicted with them. In fact, Galileo defended the compatibility of Copernicus and the Bible, and this was one of the factors which brought about his trial.

 

A good synopsis of the Galileo affair may be found in chapter ten of Dinesh D’Souza’s What’s so Great about Christianity?

 

Gumbel spoke of the Scopes "Monkey" Trial, "Persecution of scientists did not end in the seventeenth century. As late as 1925, John T. Scopes, a high-school teacher from Drayton, Tennessee, was prosecuted for violating the state law by teaching the theory of evolution" (Gumbel, p. 8).

One of my earliest published papers on origins was on the Scopes Trial.

"The Scopes Trial and After" by Jay Hall (Vol. 2, No. 2, 1979):

https://www.arn.org/orpages/orindex.htm

 

The Real Truth about the Scopes Trial is found in Monkey Business by Marvin Olasky of World Magazine.  Scopes got dragged into a publicity stunt to promote the town of Dayton.  He was no activist for Darwinism, he wound up in Venezuela with Gulf Oil.

https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/monkey-business-the-true-story-of-the-scopes-trial_john--perry/520890/?resultid=bc745af4-5c39-4ba6-9cae-523a994ce60c#edition=4486074&idiq=3736330

 

The supposed evidence for evolution given in the trial has long been abandoned.  If George McCready Price (d. 1963), who was quoted at the trial, had been able to appear the results may have been vastly different.  He was the author of The New Geology (1923) which refutes Deep Time:

https://documents.adventistarchives.org/Books/NG1923.pdf

Price was teaching in England at the time of the trial (Monkey Business, pp. 126, 127).

When Nicky speaks of "persecution," one wonders if he saw Ben Stein's bold venture EXPELLED which features Richard Dawkins (b. 1941) in the finale:

While discussing the Scopes Trial there's a typo in Gumbel's work (p. 8):

  DRAYTON not Dayton (TN) ... #LetsGo_DayTon ‼ 

For seventeen years Dr. Kurt Wise taught at Bryan College in Dayton, Tennessee.  He earned a Ph.D. in Paleontology from Harvard and studied under Stephen Jay Gould (d. 2002).

The first edition of Nicky's book came out in 1994, yet this typo was not caught.  This is the 2016 edition.  I take it as a sign that many fail to #DYOR Do Your Own Research and consider the info that you find from Answers in Genesis, Creation Ministries International, the Institute for Creation Research and the Creation Research Society.

On page 9, Nicky talks about miracles: "... it is argued that the assured results of modern science are in direct conflict with the teaching of the Bible.  Some would say, for example, that modern science shows that miracles do not happen, whereas the Bible is full of miracles."  Brother Nicky should look into The Case for Miracles by Lee Strobel:

https://www.amazon.com/Case-Miracles-Journalist-Investigates-Supernatural/dp/0310259185

 

Brother Nicky goes universal on us, "Mathematician, physicist and astronomer Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) was the founder of modern mechanics and experimental physics.  He argued that the earth was not the center of the universe" (Gumbel, p. 12).  In the Journal of Creation, physicist Russell Humphreys wrote a paper providing evidence that the Milky Way is near the center of the universe!

"Our galaxy is the centre of the universe, quantized redshifts show" by D. Russell Humphreys, Journal of Creation 16(2):95–104, August 2002:

https://creation.com/our-galaxy-is-the-centre-of-the-universe-quantized-redshifts-show

 

Nicky quotes Richard Dawkins, "God almost certainly does not exist" (p. 9).

Is Gumbel aware of the 1986 Oxford Union Debate between Dawkins and creationist  AE Wilder-Smith, who had three earned doctorates? (Biological Essentialism, pp. 219-224):

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/biological-essentialism-jay-hall/1140135320

What was the verdict?  115 (or maybe 150) votes for the Creation side and the two Darwinists got 198 ... not exactly a wipe-out.

 

Nicky rightly points out that Science has a Christian basis (pp. 9-11).  God gave us the wisdom to understand the Equations of Creation.  We read this in Jeremiah:

 

This is what the Lord says: "If I have not made my covenant with day and night and established the laws of heaven and earth, then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them." (Jer. 33:25,26)

 

One example of science *in* the Bible is the expanding Cosmos:

 

He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,

    and its people are like grasshoppers.

He stretches out the heavens like a canopy ... (Is. 40:22)

 

He alone stretches out the heavens

    and treads on the waves of the sea.

He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion,

    the Pleiades and the constellations of the South. (Job 9:8,9)

 

See also Is. 45:12, Is. 42:5, Jer. 10:12 and Zech. 12:1.

 

Nicky presents Isaac Newton as an example of a believing scientist (p. 12). 

Newton held that mankind has existed for around six thousand years:

https://creation.com/isaac-newton

 

Gumbel quotes Physicist turned theologian John Polkinghorne (d. 2021), who also said, "If the deep-seated congruence of the rationality present in our minds with the rationality present in the world is to find a true explanation, it must surely lie in some more profound reason which is the ground of both. Such a reason would be provided by the Rationality of the Creator."

https://adamslostdream.blogspot.com/2011/05/michio-kaku-epic-fail.html

 

Nicky plugs Francis Collins (pp. 15,31).  In Beverly Hills in 2006, Dr. Ben Carson was part of a panel discussion on evolution along with Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett and Francis Collins.  Dr. Carson opposed evolution.  Dr. Carson received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2008.

https://adamslostdream.blogspot.com/2013/09/ben-carson-friend-of-creation.html

Amazingly, Collins has apologized for the lockdowns:

Will the miracles never cease?

 

On page 16, Nicky mentions David Hume (d. 1776).  Hume, surprisingly gave the #YoungEarth view a fair hearing.  See my book Is a Young Earth Possible? (pp. 104,105):
