Creation science? (Christian answers preferably)?

Question

I have recently accepted the creationist ideology, and was wondering what other Christians thought of the Creation and creationist views on dinosaurs, neanderthals, linguistics...etc.
Sensible and evidence supported answers please!

I am a regular user of Answers In Genesis, and I would like to add that there IS science in Creationism. It just supports the Bible and not Darwin.

Answer 1

I know most people don't go to links, but please check mine. The first article talks about this. I believe it 100%, there is no other way. In one of the articles, I even point you to
www.answersingenesis.org
Now that site lays it out like it needs to be. The nay-sayers, atheists and such will all have something bad to say about it, but they can't truly disprove anything on that site in reference to the turth of Creation. My site is here...

Answer 2

Good for you, after all evolution is just a theory that many people have taken to mean fact. In Texas recently they found dinosaurs footprints alongside men's footprints. Darwin himself was a Christian, just trying to find answers, whatever the effect he had, he did die a Christian.

I also study History and the further back you go in time the more intelligent people seem to have been, something not acceptable to evolutionists. Genisis is a facinating book and it's a pity more people didn't read it and the references to it. After all "In the beginning......" there was no 24 hour clock and morning and evening have been translated as periods of time as has a day. i.e. and there was morning and evening the 3rd day, or the 3rd period of time. The 24 hour clock was introduced much later.

Also, once people look to God for answers, then they will find more and more doors which open the way for them to understand everything in the Bible. Jesus Christ will lead them into all understanding.

Answer 3

Let me put it to you this way: Are you saying God could NOT have created us & the plants and animals the way Darwin believed it happened? More on that later.

Almost. Read your Bible again. Start with Genesis 1:1 through 1:3. Then read Genesis 2:4 through 2:23.

Do you see any contradictions?

If not, message me.

There is no reason that the Bible and Science cannot both be right. Let me ask you this: If God is omnipotent, as he must be by definition, why can't he have brought about all we see in this world, and us, through the processes scientists like Darwin propose? By the way, Darwinism was just a theory. Though there are clearly parts of that theory we consider "proven", there are others which have not stood the test of time - these were replaced by other things based on observation and test. I can't think of any theory that hasn't been modified as our understanding grew.

The Bible is a rich collection of legends and teachings, among other things. Even if you refuse to believe in God it is a wonderful source of wisdom, a great read.

Do you think ancient man, the source of the Bible, could have understood modern DNA, Darwin's theories, etc? Of course not! Plus the original method of transmission of what eventually found it's way into the Bible was a method known as "oral tradition". You know what that does, don't you?

There is nothing in the Bible that is deliberatly false or misleading. However, everything you read there is subject to interpretation, as is any form of communication. How you take what you read/hear/see has a lot to do with understanding and, in all too many cases, misunderstanding.

Answer 4

I'm sorry but the people before me were right. Genesis was not meant, in any way, to be a detailed historical account but rather an explanation that will give early Jews and Muslims (and later Christians) an idea of God's plan from the beggining. If you let yourself be sucked into the "Young Earth Creationism" movement you'll oversee the fact that the creation sory is flawed and was probably adopted from other cultures in order to explain the fact that we were here in the first place.

But before you accuse of being an anti-Christian atheist you should know I'm a practicing Catholic. Not believing in Genenesis doesn'yt mean you can't be a Christian, it just means you're a smart one that reads from context and understands the meaning of the word regardless to whether it is literal or not. Even the vatican has accepted that the Bible should be read contextually and not literally. If you need more proof of Genesis' doubful origins read Genesis 1:26:

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness..."

Notice the "our"

Trust the Bible. It teaches a literal 6 day creation, and that the earth is about 6000 years old. NO EVOLUTION. NO GAP. Dinosaurs lived at the same time man did. some may still be alive today.

Answer 6

Pity that some people seem to think that the closer you come to this putative "lord", the more arrant drivel they'll accept without question.
It seems today that this creationist garbage is intended for those who throw away their (possibly God given (if he/she/it exists at all - bearing in mind that there's no evidence whatsoever for its existence)) critical reasoning powers in favour of primitive superstition.

The creationist idea put simply is:
We design and create things, therefore everything is designed and created. If it's too complex for us to design and create then a super-being must have done it.
Life as we know it may be improbable but there's a vast difference between improbable and impossible.
If we assume that the universe is "infinite" (in the true mathematical sense) then everything is (must be) both probable and possible. It's the old argument about the infinite number or monkeys given an infinite amount of time. they'd eventually write the script of Hamlet.

Answer 7

...I believe science too has now concluded that man and dinosaurs were contemporary to one another - I don't know what the belief is on the Neanderthals.. just what I believe, which is that they were the ones after Cain, who had the prominant brow and they, and dinosaurs, perished at the flood, and remains are found in the layers of sediment of the flood - And I have read some interesting studies on the languages and how they do all relate..
----Also, many wonder why there are other national, handed down flood stories (and legends), and many other handed down stories of a mother and child 'god' - It's commonly stated that Moses plagarized these other legends.. but surely they are all just common memories.. and just because, for instance, I write my memory of something, after someone elses, doesn't mean it's plagarized.. Moses account lacks cyclops and other things, because the others are handed down accounts, which of course man had naturally embellished, but Moses' account and 'memory' was "inspired by God"
---- I also believe the original 'mother goddess' and 'goddesses'-(once the nations were scattered from Babel) were originally memories of Eve, "the mother of us all"..
-----------
p.s. It's obvious the refuters of Answers In Genesis website have not read it.. or obvious to us who have.. I love (taping) "The creation Network" on cable (angel?) at 1:00 A.M Wednesday mornings.. Would that even ONE episode were actually listened to by some naysayers.. so there might be other conversing than merely "christians and creationism is dumb".. or "read Origin of Species" like it's the only book written on the topic, pro OR con.. and it's left at that.. not even any quotes or anything.. (that i've seen)

Answer 8

I believe that God created the dinosaurs. But after the flood is when He put the fear into animals and man. So he had to get rid of the dinosaurs first. I don't believe we evolved, because we still would be evolving, and we are not. I truly believe God breathed into existence the whole world. And everything that is on it. The more you read Genesis, the more new things you learn each time you read. God bless you.

Answer 9

Hi, I am a Christian who also has loads of questions. one of them is how we came to be. I find the darwin theory harder to believe because I don't see how we came from fish!!
I do believe there was dinosaurs etc - after all there is hard evidence in the way of bones, fossils etc to prove it - if there was a "big bang" then maybe the fossils were all made then in a split second. - This I find more believable than compression for years and years, - would they not just rot if that were the case.
I certainly don't claim to have the answer to your question, just thought I would throw in my view. Hope it helps.
One more point to ponder - who or what decided which "fish" would become a human and which ones would become the different animals? Surely someone has to be in charge of it all.

Answer 10

in spite of the indisputable fact that circumstances and motive can result the ethical culpability of any given act, they are in a position to no longer make an evil act sturdy. a minimum of that's what the church teaches and that i concur. ethical relativists will attempt to convince that the ends justify the flexibility yet while pressed could settle for that there place incredibly demands the admission that there is no purpose suitable or incorrect (related to morality) a place i think is far less rational given the indisputable fact that maximum individuals (all IMO) while pressed will admit to their retention of a theory in an purpose ethical suitable or incorrect somewhat in the event that they think of they have been wronged. mendacity is mendacity and is objectively morally incorrect inspite of the mitigating circumstances surrounding that is tried justification. i've got form of winged this reaction which could be in step with Catholic coaching,whether i'm constantly keen to be corrected if i've got misrepresented the magisterium in this or the different difficulty.

Answer 11

Creation and evolution can co-exist easily, if one can accept that the way creation has been described in the Bible is a metaphorical myth. It's not impossible to concieve that the universe was not only created, but that it evolved into what we see today under the physical laws defined by a creator.

One of the most convincing argument I've seen from people who believe creation happened EXACTLY as it is described in the Bible is that God created the Earth with fossilized remains and other archeological artifacts as a means to challenge our faith. There's no way to PROVE it didn't happen that way, but on the other hand, there's no way to prove that it did.

Without risking the appearance of using circular logic, let me offer the opinions of one of the most famous physicists of all time: Steven Hawking, who happens to be a davout Catholic. He believes in creation, but also much more....
