The True Truth About Politics, Preachers and the Young Earth Option

"True Truth" is a Schaefferism. He used the term "true truth" to describe absolute, objective reality and truth that exists independent of human opinion, grounded in the existence of an infinite-personal God who has revealed himself - the God who is there and is not silent.  It stands in contrast to relativism as in "true for you, but not for me."

Francis Schaeffer is known for popularizing the idea of a Christian Worldview:

Let us consider these wise words from Charlie Kirk:

 

"If you've ever watched my radio show or seen me speak, you know that I have a problem with a lot of Christian pastors. In one word, they're cowards. ... America's story is a Christian story, one of resilience, redemption, and revival. With your help, America's next chapter won't be one of final collapse, but of its greatest-ever triumph."

(from the Forward, Killing America by Gene & Teri Bailey, pp. 17,19)

I got to hear John Stonestreet last month at OCU in Edmond. He's with the Colson Center and you may have heard his BreakPoint on the radio.  He spoke on some basic foundations for a Christian Worldview.  We had a short chat during one of the breaks.

One great evidence for an Intelligent Designer is the Total Eclipse of the Sun!

If you are not sure why a total solar eclipse is so significant, I would recommend the documentary "The Privileged Planet":

Stonestreet and Os Guinness, who spent time with Francis Schaeffer, put out an A+ film "Truth Rising" recently that I highly recommend:

Now to the News ...

In El Paso, a flight ban was issued for ten days for air travel under 18K feet which began on FEB 10th.

An eyewitness described a  "mothership" releasing smaller objects from beneath.

There were also claims of disruptive drones from South of the Border.

Are UFO's invading the US?

When I think of UFO's, I think of Star Trek and Star Wars - which one is your fave?

Interestingly, there's a connection with El Paso, I've driven thru there a couple times but never visited.  Gene Roddenberry (d. 1991), of Star Trek fame, was born in El Paso and was a pilot in WWII.  Speaking of Aliens, I wrote a warning regarding the Pixar flop "ELIO."

>> Nippon News >>

A few months before his assassination, Charlie Kirk visited Japan and warned that mass migration was seeking to “replace and eradicate Japan by bringing in Indonesians, by bringing in Arabs, by bringing in Muslims.”

Japan has more than 100 mosques and over 400,000 Muslims.

95% of Japanese voters oppose Muslim mass migration.

Japan’s new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, former drummer in a heavy metal band,  may take decisive action.

Now, I do not know where Secretary Hegseth stands on the Age-of-the-Earth controversy, but it's interesting that he was willing to visit a church with shades of a youthful world. ☺☺

It has over 2800 views.   It is not a Statistically Correct poll, but the results are interesting.  30% hold that this planet is 8K years old or younger:

I would like to close with some words from the Gadsby Hymnal (#775):

My God, when I reflect

 How, all my life-time past,

 I ran the roads of sin and death

 With rash impetuous haste,

My foolishness I hate;

 My filthiness I loathe;

 And view, with sharp remorse and shame,

 My filth and folly both. ...

And dost thou still regard,

 And cast a gracious eye

 On one so foul, so base, so blind,

 So dead, so lost, as I?

Then sinners black as hell

 May hence for hope have ground;

 For who of mercy needs despair,

 Since I have mercy found?

What Rhymes with "Stigma"?

What do the Homeless & #Young_Earthers have in common? ... stigma.

 

Inspired by children's worldviews, Sesame Workshop wanted to glean the age at which kids start to notice some people don't have homes.  When does that recognition become stigma?[1]

>> kerygma

In the New Testament, kerygma (κήρυγμα) means “proclamation” as in preaching the Gospel (Rom. 16:25). What did the Lord Jesus Christ preach about the Age-of-the-Earth Controversy?

Jesus AGE verses: Mk. 10:6, Mk. 13:19-20, Lk. 11:50,51.

 

What about the long-lived #Patriarchs in Genesis chapters five and eleven? James Gadberry makes a cogent point, "Large animals today typically have longer lifespans than small animals, so it is likely these pre-Flood animals, like pre-Flood humans, lived longer than their contemporary counterparts."

https://www.icr.org/article/longevity-before-flood

For example, Deinosuchus hatcheri, an extinct crocodile, could grow to more than 40' & weigh over 8K pounds!  The tight chronologies in Genesis 5&11 confirm this planet's "short" duration (compared to Lyell's view).

Origins and the Time Question

Ariel A. Roth (b. 1927) is a zoologist who was born in Geneva:

https://youtu.be/ekGxRTl5EoY

 

In 1981, Dr. Roth testified before the House Education Committee in Salem, Oregon.  He said that many biologists do not regard evolution as a fact and that many researches acknowledge that Chemical Evolution is impossible.  That is, that the first living cell could have formed spontaneously.  Apparently, Dr. Roth is in the middle of the panel in the pic below):

https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ChVWAAAAIBAJ&pg=6667,5616739&dq=ariel-roth+classroom&hl=en

The discussion lasted for several hours and four additional rooms held interested spectators.  The Chair claimed that Creation had lost to Science 100 years earlier.  He could have had the Scopes Monkey Trial in mind.[1]

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jay-hall-m-s-b64526a_destination1925-darwinism-scopesabrmonkeyabrtrial-activity-7391260200202264576-PbS_?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAHbbPwBBTN3-5NHy1Ow3Aqgq-KCW2E14ew

 

The following factoids I gleaned from Dr. Roth's textbook Origins - Linking Science & Scripture.  Protein breaks down fairly quickly, so when we find it in the Geologic Record could it really be millions of years old? #MOYO

Protein has been found in dino eggs![2] 

In 1974, Roth and other scientists lived for a week fifty feet under the ocean's surface near the Grand Bahamas. They studied coral formations.  Hydrolab was just 18 feet long and was operated by NOAA (<> NOAH).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ariel_A._Roth

 

The great thickness of some reefs has been used as an argument against a Youthful World.  Roth's conclusion, "... the fastest rates for reefs and framebuilders do allow for the growth of the Eniwetok reef, which has a thickness of 1405 meters, in less than 3,400 years."[3]  Some grow over 400 mm/yr.[4]

 

What about supposed "reefs" in the fossil record.  They were formed catastrophically as rapidly accumulating debris flows.  Consider this remark from Blatt, Middleton & Murray (Origin of Sedimentary Rocks, Prentice-Hall):

 

Closer inspection of many of these ancient carbonate "reefs" reveals that they are composed largely of carbonate mud with the larger skeletal particles "floating" within the mud matrix.  Conclusive evidence for a rigid organic framework does not exist in most of the ancient carbonate mounds.  In this sense, they are remarkably different from modern coral-algal reefs.[5]

In a paraconformity, the rock layers are parallel and there is no evidence of erosion.  In many cases this "gap" allegedly represents millions of years.  A simpler explanation is continuous deposition and the Deep Time must be dropped (like a *hot* mike).  For example, between the Aussie Bulli #COAL and the rocks above there is an alleged gap of 5 million years.  We find another case with the Morcles Nappe in Switzerland with 45 million "missing" years.[6]

 

In 2021, Roth's chapter on flat gaps in the rock layers appeared in Design and Catastrophe: 51 Scientists Explore Evidence in Nature.  This comports with #Catastrophism and the Young Earth view.

Was Darwin worried?  From a letter to Charles Lyell:

 

I rejoice profoundly; for thinking of the many cases of men pursuing an illusion for years, often and often a cold shudder has run through me and I have asked myself whether I may not have devoted my life to a phantasy.  Now I look at it as morally impossible that investigators of truth like you and [Sir Joseph Dalton]  Hooker can be wholly wrong; and therefore I feel that I may rest in peace.

The Top 5 Things About Biological Essentialism

1) It is consistent with the Genesis Kinds (baramin).  On #Day3 we get plants:

"The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good" (Gen. 1:12).

 

Noah's Ark by Donald Schwartz:

How Many Animals Were on the Ark? ed. by Craig Froman:

https://answersingenesis.org/store/product/how-many-animals-were-ark/

 

 

2) There are two books on this topic with the exact same title‼

 

Biological Essentialism by Jay Hall (2021):

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

Biological Essentialism by Michael Devitt (Oxford Univ. Press):

https://global.oup.com/academic/product/biological-essentialism-9780198840282

 

Hall vs. Devitt:

https://youngearthscienceblog.blogspot.com/2023/08/biological-essentialism-vs-biological.html

 

3) Biological Essentialism is basically Aristotle's Biology.

 

The idea that biological natural kinds, particularly a species like dogs, have intrinsic underlying natures is intuitively appealing.  It has been shown to be widespread even among children (Keil 1989). It was endorsed by a great philosopher, Aristotle. ... For, the consensus among philosophers of biology, and a widespread view among biologists, is that this sort of “Aristotelian essentialism” is deeply wrong, reflecting “typological” thinking instead of the recommended “population” thinking (Sober 1980: 247–8). This essentialism is thought to arise from a naive and uninformed view of biology, indeed to be incompatible with Darwinism. ... I shall defend intrinsic biological essentialism. I think that the children are right and the philosophers of biology, wrong.

   -- Michael Devitt (Biological Essentialism, p. 1)

 

Amen & Amen!

 

4) Biological Essentialism and #YES Young Earth Science go hand-in-hand.  I argue that #BioEss leads to Catastrophism which naturally favors a youthful world (last chapter):

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

 

Dinos and Trilobites lived at the same time, so we must collapse conventional geochronology.

5) Do you really believe that the Blob Fish, platypus, hydra, 13-celled critter, redwoods, Sam from Sale$, honeyguide, Philetairus socius, Haleakalā silversword, tortoise and solar sea slug all have a Common Ancestor?  If there are distinct natural kinds, then Darwin was wrong and Kripke & Putnam (see Devitt p. 1) are right!
