The Bible stands or falls on the reliability of GenesisThe Bible describes Creation as six literal daysHebrew “yom” = “day”Morris: “Yom” with a numeric or ordinal modifier always means a literal day.Rogers: “These days have gone so quickly.” vs “These five days have gone so quickly.”Bible genealogies reveal Adam lived roughly 6,000 years ago.Genesis 5Present à Christ: 2,000 yearsChrist à Abraham: 2,000 yearsAbraham à Adam: 2,000 yearsTotal: 6,000 yearsThe rest of the Bible refers to Genesis as real, historical fact.Matthew 19:4So what’s the problem?Long periods of time required for evolution.Radioisotope dating methods are wildly unreliable.Based on assumptionsInitial conditionsNo outside interferenceRate of decay always the same.Hulalai Basalt (AD 1800-1801) – dated at 1.4-1.6 million years old… many other examples of known incorrect datesMount St. Helens proved that catastrophes can make huge geological changes (… so think about a global flood!)Geologists leaned how quickly canyons can form!Genesis 7:11The Yellowstone Petrified Forest was reinterpreted.Spirit Lake after Mount St. HelensOriginal tissue is being discovered in dinosaur bones (and it shouldn’t be there if they are 65 million years old)II Peter 3:3-7 – Good science and the Bible are not enemies!
