Could Adam Write? (Mark of Cain)

 

Were Adam and Eve capable of writing as soon as they were created?  Could they read the mark of Cain?  First, keep in mind that Adam was made perfect and was very intelligent.  He named all the “beasts of the field” and birds in one day (Gen. 2:19)!  This involves natural kinds or Essential Types of Life (ETL's).  This is quite unlike the modern “species” concept - it is a much broader category.   In the words of folk poet Bob Dylan (81 yo), “Man gave names to all the animals, in the beginning, long time ago” from the album Slow Train Coming.

 

We read in Genesis 5:1, “This is the written account of Adam’s line.”  Who better than Adam, who lived 930 years, to compile the earth’s primeval history - he was an eyewitness!  The New Testament explicitly states that Moses wrote the last four books of the Pentateuch, but not Genesis.  Maybe Moses edited Genesis from previously existing sources.

 

What was the mark of Cain?  Cain slew Abel, so he was a marked man.  God protected Cain by putting a mark on him (Gen. 4:15).  God told Cain that if anyone harms him then the attacker will suffer “seven times over” (cf. Gen. 4:24).   It seems this was the basic message of the mark which would reasonably have been put on his forehead (cf. Ez. 9:4).  A tattoo on his shoulder would not have been seen before a spear pierced his heart.  Try to put this message in symbols!  My attempt is XC=>OX7x (kill Cain implies God, the circle means infinity, kills you seven times).  Thus, the children of Eve were able to read the mark God put on Cain.

 

Writing does not take thousands of years to develop.  Sequoyah (d. 1843), who could neither read nor write in English, developed the Cherokee syllabary in four years![1]  These include H=“mi” and A=“go.”  Writing in the ancient world was quite widespread.  The Native Americans of Alaska had a kind of “picture writing.”[2]  A horizontal line with two slants above and two below represent a boat with two people and two oars.

 

The Mayan alphabet contains 27 symbols and was made known to the Western world in the 1500‘s.[3]  This system was not deciphered until the 1950’s through the work of Yuri Knorosov and others.[4]  This just shows how advanced the ancients were since it took so long to unravel it!  Some letters require more than one symbol.  This may be analogous to the fact that we use two letters for the “th” sound but in Greek one letter is used (Θ, theta).

 

A discovery at Blombos Cave, 200 miles east of Cape Town, South Africa showed a culture that used symbolic marks.[5]  They also found ocher, probably used for body paint.  What is amazing is that this site is dated at 73,000 years old!  We do not accept this date, but wish to emphasize that early cultures used writing.

The origin of writing began with Adam.  Eve and Adam could write!  Adam was indeed literate.  The history of writing starts with the mark of Cain.  The first literacy program was God given.

Young Earth Today 2027 - Youth of the World UNite‼

 

Young Earth Science is NOT like saying that the Reptoids rule Earth from the Martian underworld.

This blog is a companion to our latest video:

Youth of the world unite!  Support the real UNDarwinism and my book Biological Essentialism (pub. 2021).  Our latest book tackles Aristotle's biology, Charles Darwin, human nature, worldview,  renegade scientists, Richard Dawkins, natural kinds, gender confusion and geology among other topics:

Young people are brainwashed or "brandwashed" by OEF's (Old Earth Fallacies) at an early age - from father to son, father to son.  Name ONE university that tells YOUTH the Truth about a youthful world.  From my interviews with Hillsdale students and staff, I understand that some Profs hold the young earth view and others do not.

 

When I was around 11 yo, Time-Life Science books were the greatest.  Once we go with Darwin & Deep Time we lose our taste for patterns (can you say "Junk DNA") and the meaning of life dissolves.  Chapter 10 of my book deals with meaning, "Darwin's Downers."

 

What's the Cure to this Deception?  #ChristiansGotWoldview  But where does this worldview come from?  #Route66  The Bible, the 66 books of Scripture.

Has there been a time in a America where God, Jesus and the Bible have played a more dominant role in our culture?  In 1972, at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, 75K young people gathered.  It was tagged the "Christian Woodstock."  EXPLO '72 was a key event in the Jesus Movement era.  Billy Graham and Cru founder Bill Bright spoke.  Love Song, Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Larry Norman, Barry McGuire (New Christy Minstrels) and Andre Crouch sung the Gospel.

The Creation (McDowell & Stewart) is a book that touches on the age-of-the-earth controversy and was published by Campus Crusade.  It was adapted from a Dutch volume.  One author was Willem Johannes Ouweneel (b 1944) who is a  biologist, philosopher and theologian with Ph.D.'s in each of those disciplines!   

Sadly, in more recent years he has become an "origins agnostic."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willem_Ouweneel

James Jauncey, who is quoted in the book, wrote Science Returns to God:   https://www.amazon.com/Science-Returns-God-James-Jauncey/dp/B0041O6ARI

 

I sat next to Gish when I was a teenager at a meeting in Ann Arbor.  Duane Gish (d. 2013) debated more evolutionists than anyone.  Phil Donahue (The Human Animal) debated Gish:

Dr. John W. 'Jack' Cuozzo (d. 2017) was an orthodontist and a volunteer chaplain for the  New Jersey Nets:

https://obits.nj.com/us/obituaries/starledger/name/john-cuozzo-obituary?id=16256748

Dr. Cuozzo held the #YoungEarth view.  Using standard orthodontic methods, his research indicated that some Neanderthals in France may have lived from 250 and 300 years!  He went to Paris with a portable x-ray machine to analyze prized Neanderthal skulls:

Neanderthals ranged from Spain to Israel and from Africa to Siberia!!  You need  2.1 kids just to maintain a stable population.  A huge Neanderthal pop over many thousands of years is a problem for old-earthers.  Neanderthal finds are not that common - just as #YES (Young Earth Science) predicts.

Another phenomena popular in the 1970's was von Daniken, Chariots of the Gods and Ancient Astronauts.  You may be familiar with more modern writers such as Zecharia Sitchin and Graham Hancock.  On Netflix, Hancock currently has a series going - Ancient Apocalypse:

https://www.netflix.com/title/81211003

 

Straight from the New York Times & Richard Lingeman:

Von Daniken told me that his researches grew out of his disenchantment with the Catholic faith in which he was raised. For the literal and symbolic fatherhood of God, he has now substituted the artificial insemination of visiting astronauts on shore leave. His gospel is a strange, almost visionary amalgam of the latest Scifi stuff with the most ancient myths - a marriage rather like that of his astronauts from a higher civilization with the beast‐men who inhabited the earth when they arrived and whom they lifted by cross‐breeding to manhood.

https://www.nytimes.com/1974/03/31/archives/erich-von-danikens-genesis.html

 

Clifford Wilson (d. 2012), former director of the Australian Institute of Archaeology, confronted von Daniken's wild speculations.  Wilson held to the young earth view!

https://creation.com/archaeologist-confirms-creation-and-the-bible

 

Wilson (Crash Go the Chariots) debated von Daniken in 1977 at North Dakota State University (Fargo):

https://www.reddit.com/r/badhistory/comments/km0kj8/when_archaeologists_debated_ancient_aliens/

 

Clifford Wilson stated his stance on the age-of-the-earth controversy (p. 155):

There are many pointers to the recency of creation. The best known method of radiometric dating is the carbon-14 method, usable only for dating organic materials. ... It is recognized that radiocarbon has not yet reached equilibrium of about 30,000 years pointing to a date of the earth's atmosphere of 10 to 13,000 years. Carbon dates of less than 50,000 years (not millions) have been given to some samples of coal, oil, and natural gas. There are examples of fossilized tree trunks extending through several layers of coal ... The decay of the earth's magnetic field, the amount of helium in the atmosphere, the breakup of star clusters, the growth rate of stalactites and stalagmites. All the present phenomena point to a young earth, only thousands of years old.

NOVA (Horizon) even had an episode on von Daniken.  It featured Carl Sagan, Thor Heyerdahl and other experts - The Case of Ancient Astronauts:

Are you looking for proof of early human global navigation?  The sea travels of  Thor Heyerdahl (d. 2002) give credence to ancient globe-trotting.  He  crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Morocco to Barbados, which is near St. Lucia & Martinique, in an ancient Egyptian style reed boat.  Heyerdahl sailed from Peru in a primitive raft, the Kon-Tiki, and in a few months arrived in Polynesia.  So, It's  possible for our noble ancestors to have crossed both the Atlantic & the Pacific:

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Thor-Heyerdahl

 

Thor Heyerdahl's expedition was on the cover of National Geographic (JAN '71)!

In the journal Nature in July 2020, researchers found “conclusive evidence for prehistoric contact” between Polynesians and Native Americans (most likely South America):

Traced by Nathan Jeanson documents quick human global exploration.  It's like a  silver bullet for #YES >>

Thus, we need a much shorter chronology than mainstream science allows.

A BIG thx to Mosasaur for being the Giant Reptile Young Earth Superhero.  The fossil range is allegedly 101M to 66M.  #ChristiansGodWorldview

Original soft tissue from a mosasaur was found - eye pigment "goo."  But soft tissue  decomposes quickly in the lab.  The chest cavity apparently contained blood residue ... it's all about the #Heart ♥

Other Mosasaurs have been found with soft tissue as well.

Coming to Grips with Genesis, edited by Mortenson & Ury, is a superb work on the biblical teaching on #Origins (86 reviewers can't be wrong):
