  18.  @tanush7768  Fossil record doesn't show evolution(speciation). The Cambrian explosion refers to the sudden, simultaneous appearance of most of the animal phyla (body plans) that occurred 542–543 million years ago. Ten of the many challenges the Cambrian explosion poses to evolutionary explanations for life are as follows: While evolutionary scenarios, as opposed to worked-out theories, exist for hypothesizing how new genera, new orders, and new families of animal life might appear, there is no rational evolutionary scenario for explaining how a new animal phylum might appear. From 50 to 80 percent of the animal phyla known to have existed at any time in Earth’s history appeared within no more than a few million years of one another, as the Cambrian geological era began. Of the 182 animal skeletal designs theoretically permitted by the laws of physics, 146 appear in the Cambrian explosion fossils. The Cambrian explosion marks the first appearance of animals with skeletons, bilateral symmetry, appendages, brains, eyes, and digestive tracts that include mouths and anuses. Virtually every eye design that has ever existed appears simultaneously in the Cambrian explosion. The moment oxygen levels in Earth’s atmosphere and oceans permit the existence of Cambrian animals, they suddenly appear. The Cambrian explosion occurs simultaneously with the drastic change in sea chemistry known as the Great Unconformity. The Cambrian explosion includes the most advanced of the animal phyla, chordates, including vertebrate chordates. Both bottom-dwellers and open ocean swimmers appear simultaneously in the Cambrian explosion. Optimization of the ecological relationships among the Cambrian animals, including predator-prey relationships, occurred without any measurable delay. Jeffrey S.

  19. +AgentDRJ The 7 days are not literal 24 hour periods given the Hebrew and the 7th day has no night meaning we are still in it. So the days are long periods of time. The Hebrew for son and father also means grand son great grandson and so on. Same with the word father so the genealogies are not accurate as a tool for dating. Then there is the fact the bible eludes to an extremely old earth/universe in many different ways. One of them being there are two creation accounts. Two Edens, the first one Gen 1:1 which included inhabitants on the earth that had nations and cities we only now know as demons disembodied spirits and Lucifer was King and Priest over the earth. He corrupted the traffic meaning God's word to the people of the earth and turned them against God and the angels under him. Lucifer stormed heaven got kicked out. God judged the earth, destroyed it, flooded it, sealed up the heavens the sky. That is why they are disembodied spirits they lots their bodies. Lucifer had his authority removed and cast out of heaven. Then we come to Gen 1:2 we see the state of the earth destroyed, flooded, frozen ball of ice. There is actually a translation error it reads "was formless and void" when the correct translation is "became formless and void." Anyways the bible makes clear everything God does is perfect so even without that knowledge of the preadamic race we can see between Gen 1:1 and 1:2 something happened the earth is not perfect but in a fallen state. Well to continue then comes the second Eden you can tell the two apart in the bible by the sequence of events. You'll notice that during the one leading up to Adam of course everything is already created so you'll see by the words used everything is being restored not created. God says let a lot, let is not a word of creation but permission. God opens up the heavens he sealed to let in light. God says REplenish the earth not plenish. He says subdue the earth. Remember the bible says the angels witness the creation events leading up to Adam because this was the second go. This ties into many things like why Satan tempted Adam and Eve it was to regain his lost authority over the earth which God then gave to man. Unfortunately man gave it back to Adam that's why Jesus had to become the second Adam on behalf of humanity and take it back. This is all in the kjv and there is much more detail to it and can be cross referenced. Each point is mentioned several times usually. So this isn't an obscure view point just one not taught much since it isn't that important to a Christians walk. But yes the bible most certainly be default eludes to an old earth and universe by far everywhere you look. Then of course there are the passages that say the laws of the universe are fixed so then say the bible supports the age of the earth by the speed of light. Anyways I'll leave it at that before I go off on any more tangents lol.

  34.  @SarahSchlongfeel  Sarah you literally just wrote a bunch of nothing. Random number generator studies clearly do relate to Darwinian evolution. It's about probability. That should not be hard for a smart women like you to grasp. The implications are obvious, I already explained it. Darwinian evolution does not exist. It scientifically can not. It is not a functional theory and never has been lol. Naturalistic process cannot create information. It's most logical and prominent evidence that should be found extensively throughout all of the fossil record of speciation is wholly absent and not even that we see wide spread fossil record evidences contrary to the theory on top of it like the Cambrian explosion. Just consider the logistics alone that evolution requires to see how nonsensical it is. Rationality does not come from irrationality, the burden of proof is on those who say it does. That burden has never been met and never will be. You can invoke infinite probability and the results will not change. This is why the multiverse is such a ridiculous excuse. What is, is. Time and probability does not change that. Just as a side note Darwinian evolution has already long failed based on the guidelines Darwin himself had set in place for it. You never argued anything I brought up. Examples illustrate the fundamentals of the concept in a easy to understand way. The concept is the take away not the 100% accuracy of the allegory. The point of the random number generator is only minute mutations can occur not large complex ones. Darwinian evolution is predicated on the accumulation of beneficial mutations bringing about speciation ultimately. There are three types of purposed mutations in frequency of occurrence: harmful, benign, beneficial. Teeny tiny beneficial mutations that rarely show up requires monumental amounts of them to coherently compounding on each other to create a complex change. This amounts to purposing a jumbled mess of thousands upon thousands of teeny tiny two letter words of beneficial mutations coherently somehow arranged and produced a work of literature like shakespear. This is nonsensical scientifically and mathematically. ALSO beyond the absurdity of creating information from chaos you have the issue of the harmful and benign mutations which would have been multiplied exponentially more which would have long caused critical error, extinction. These are some of the most basic and simple reasons(that you SHOULD be able to easily comprehend) on why Darwinian evolution is not real. Otherwise everything would be extinct. You don't seem to even comprehend the concept of Darwinian evolution itself to start with judging by your response. Otherwise you'd know the significance of what I brought up. I only explained and spoon fed you a fraction of it now. Most of it is quite self evident like I said earlier you can go back and understand it if you just take a moment to establish the context and think about the argument. Actually yes this all not only disproves darwinian evolution and naturalistic explanation but indirectly helps to establish intelligent design aka creationism. Information can only come from a mind. The discovery of germ theory that life does not spontaneously create itself among others and the discovery of DNA life based on information an immaterial concept with no naturalistic origin have all been devastating blows to naturalism and Atheism. Science has established life requires information which requires a mind, thus God.

  48.  @noneofyourbeeswax01  Nah you are just wholly scientifically illiterate and clearly struggle extensively to comprehend such topics. While evolutionary scenarios, as opposed to worked-out theories, exist for hypothesizing how new genera, new orders, and new families of animal life might appear, there is no rational evolutionary scenario for explaining how a new animal phylum might appear. From 50 to 80 percent of the animal phyla known to have existed at any time in Earth’s history appeared within no more than a few million years of one another, as the Cambrian geological era began.

  49. Roy Hale He has to be the context correlates with all the other passages in the bible. The change of names due to change of position and authority is not uncommon in the scripture either.  Here are a few scriptures about old earth. Try to visualize the picture the bible gives when going over these events it helps a lot to put it in perspective. Genesis 1:1-2 Hebrew word for begining "bara" which means brought out of nothing. In the dateless past Elohim brought out of nothing the heavens and the earth. (Hebrew translated) Trinity is introduced because anything ended with im is plural. Elohim is the plural word for God. Something is mising something is not right Gen 1:2 looking at the picture given. Hayah is the Hebrew and should have been translated to became not was in Gen 1:2, but really doesn't change the picture. Something took place between Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2 because everything God makes or creates is perfect. Nothing God creates is shapeless formless and void. Deuteronomy 32:4King James Version (KJV) 4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. Isaiah 45:18King James Version (KJV) 18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else. Ecclesiastes 3:11King James Version (KJV) 11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end. Psalm 18:30King James Version (KJV) 30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the Lord is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him. Genesis 1:3King James Version (KJV) 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. Intoduces the word let. Let is not a word of creation but always permission in the bible. 6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. We see got restoring not creating the atmosphere of the earth. The earth was flooded, there was a flood. 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.  The Hebrew word for made here is "asa" which means to shape or form to make. Not building, that is whole different word used when God created Eve. God wasn't creating something here he was simply restoring. 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so. Once again let a word of permission. It also shows the earth was flooded. 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.  Once again let a word of permission and we keep seeing let. Gen 1:3 and on is the work of restoration not creation. Gen 1:2 we see a destroyed earth so what happened?  Job 9:1-7 King James Version (KJV) 1 Then Job answered and said, 2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? 3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. 4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? 5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. 6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. 7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. When did this destruction happen? It hasn't since Adam walked the earth. It won't in the millenium. Or after because God will just completely destroy and make a new one. It says God sealed up the heavens. Job 9:8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. Now we see Gen 1:2 when the Holy Spirit walked upon the face of the waters. Now lets see how we got the picture we see in Gen 1:2 Jeremiah 4:23King James Version (KJV) 23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.  24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. 25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. 26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger. 27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. In Gen 1 we go from the negative to the positive. Here we go from the positive to the negative. We also see  no man, birds no birds, fruitful place to wilderness. Gen 1 we see the opposite. No man to man, no animals God creates them, wilderness to fruitfull place. Restoration not destruction. Then we see cities before Adam. Then we see God say he will not make a full end in other words he is not done with it he'll restore it which he did in Gen 1:3 onward. Isaiah 24 gives the same picture of. Isaiah 24:1King James Version (KJV) 24 Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. He turned the earth upside down. It hasn't happened since Adam. It's not gonna be during the Lords reign on earth or after that. Then we see he scattered abroad the inhabitants. If God did that to us we'd be dead yet these inhabitants are still alive. They are the preadamic race, only mentioned as demons now. So we see in Job 9 God flooded the earth and Gen 1:2 the earth was flooded and the Holy Spirit was upon the face of the waters. There was no light no warmth so the earth was a frozen ball of ice. The destruction was sudden. Perhaps this was the ice age? Job 38:1-7 1Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. 4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. 5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? 6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? This shows the angels were there when God restored the earth.The angels were created before this. This happened after the fall of Lucifer. Job 38:25-30 25 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; 26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; 27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? 28 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew? 29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? 30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. We see Gen 1:2 a frozen earth and the work of restoration. Psalms 104 we see again the preadamic flood. Psalms 104:4-8 4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire: 5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever. 6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains. 7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away. 8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them. Once again the picture of the preadamic flood. God rebuked the water. We don't see that in Noahs flood no rebuke. In fact with the flood of Noah it took 120 days. Here it was in an instant God rebuked it and the waters went away. So what led to these events? What angered God that he'd do this? Isaiah 14:9-20 9 Hell from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming: it stirreth up the dead for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; it hath raised up from their thrones all the kings of the nations. 10 All they shall speak and say unto thee, Art thou also become weak as we? art thou become like unto us? 11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee. 12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. 15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit. 16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms; 17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners? 18 All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house. 19 But thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet. 20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, and slain thy people: the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned. Talking about Satan, we see he was in heaven verse 12, at the time he was cut down there were nations, another proof of the preadamic era. Verse 13 onwards an evil desire entered his heart, where was he when this happened? He was on the earth it said he wanted to exalt his throne above the clouds meaning he was below them. We also see he had a throne on the earth. You can't have a throne without being a king and can't be a king without a kingdom. We see Satan was in hell before Adam was created but came to visit the earth to see if he could regain his position. We see the inhabitants destroyed at the rebellion talking to Satan. Which also shows us the preadamic race are what we call demons because it says they were in the pit and we know elsewhere in the scripture the pit is the abode of demons. So we see demons not men talking to Satan. We also see in 17 the wilderness like in Jeremiah the fruitfull place that became a wilderness because of Lucifer. Ezekiel 28:1-11 is talking about the prince of Tyrus which is the anti-Christ. Verse 12 we see the King of Tyrus Satan being addressed. Ezekiel 28:12-19 12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say unto him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. 13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire. 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. 18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee. 19 All they that know thee among the people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt thou be any more. Tyrus was the center of idolitry and here we find Satan is called the king of that. He was full of wisdom perfect in beauty. This is before his fall now. He was in the Eden of God the preadamic Eden, there were two Edens. The preadamic Eden and the adamic Eden. The preadamic belonged to Lucifer, the adamic to Adam. Lucifer was the anointed cherub that covereth. So we see something unusual he had two positions cherub and archangel. The only being in heaven with more than one office is Jesus. Lucifer was next in position to the Godhead we see. He was honored above all other angels. He walked up and down the throne of heaven by the stones of fire singing to the Lord since he was in charge of worship. Like we see around God in Exodus 24:10 and 17. God cast Lucifer out of his government, the mountain of God speaks of God's government. Verse 18 we see Lucifer had sanctuaries meaning he was a priest. So since he had a throne he was a king and priest over the earth. He defiled his priesthood by corrupting God's word to the inhabitants and kept it for himself and gave corrupted word to the inhabitants. Think if the influence and power to convince an innumerable number of angels which were one third and all the earth against God. Gen 1:26-28 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Now God restoring the earth and creating Adam. We see God saying "replenish" and "subdue" it, confirming what was previously said. God said the exact same thing to Noah replenish which also shows confirmation. We see subdue which means the presence of enemy and still rebellion on the earth talking about the demonic world.  Gen 2:1 we see heavens from the Hebrew word shamayim. Which is the same word in Gen 1:1 which should also be heavens plural. Gen 2:1 2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. We see the word made confirms restoration. 2 Peter 3:5-7King James Version (KJV) 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. This is speaking of the preadamic flood because it says in the water speaking of Gen 1:6-9 flood not Noah's. He is saying the world before Adam was not reserved it was utterly destroyed. The world after Adam is reserved/preserved till judgment because Noah's flood only destroyed man and animal. Gen 2:22  And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. The word made here in Hebrew is panah which means to build. The word in Gen 1 is asa which is make and form. Gen 5:1-2 5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; 2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. The name Eve came after the fall. We don't know the length of period till the fall. Gen 3:15 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. The very fact God said her seed speaks of the virgin birth of Christ, for had he said his seed it could not have been. But when he said her said it speaks of God's Son. Here God gave the promise of the coming messiah. Gen 3 we see Satan stole back his position from Adam he had lost. But God also placed a curse on him and a promise of his destruction. Gen 6 we see Satan tried to destroy the plan of God to destroy him in having the angels under him destroy the seed of the woman so no Christ could be born.
