Rapture righties, can you name even ONE Paleontologist that buys your "young-earth-creationism" crap!?

Question

OR ONE single Micro-Biologist? OR ONE single Astro-Physicist? Hmmmm, I thought not

SSTTTIIIILLLLL WAITING!!

Answer 1

Creationism is a funny subject. I laugh aloud whenever a 'believer' talks about it. I think we should dub them the 'mythological right'.

Answer 2

I'm not sure of your question but I'll try. First of all there is no such thing as a rapture or heaven knows where these people even got the notion of what they call a "rapture". It's no where mentioned in the Bible. As for the "young earth" idea, the earth is billions of years old. There are some religions that believe the earth was created in 7 literal days but that is not true. Look at the time there must have been involved to just create the stars, or get the motion of the oceans working, or having to take eons of time to make the mountains much less design all the plants, animals and humans that would occupy the earth. So the earth is REALLY old. One day to God is as a thousand of our earth years so the earth in no way or form took just 7 literal days to make.

Answer 3

Obviously you do not know anything about a Christian's belief so therefore you should stop spouting about things you know so little about...for starters our belief system is based on "FAITH' not paleontologist or micro-biologist or astro physicist...why don't you start with reading the Bible and gaining some insight before strutting around trying to prove or bluff your way through something you know very little about ....and "Rapture righties" as you so ineptly call us...For Starters we are called Christians.....because Christ died for our sins so we can have eternal life..and we follow Him...because of what He did for us...but let me be the first to wish you my hottest regards and a good trip to your final home...and pray that you will come to know the truth before you do make that everlasting mistake....

Answer 4

The Rapture has nothing to do with creationism. The Roman Catholic Church believes in the Rapture, and yet also accepts evolution and a 4 billion year old earth.

Answer 5

Look at the roster of religious clubs at MIT. You will not be surprised to find a pagan group among others of that ilk - but there are many Christian groups as well listed.

Imagine - MIT students, among the smartest in our country, members of religious groups. Yep, it's true and you are wrong.

Here are a few names for you:
Rutherford Adkins, Physicist
Hattie Elizabeth Alexander, Microbiologist
Buzz Aldron - Astronaut
E. Theo Agard, Physicist
and the list goes on and on and on--you can see I only started in the A's

And to just pick a name: how about William Grosvenor Pollard 1911-1989 who was a Nuclear Scientist, and a Quantum Physicist and also an Episcopal Priest. What a combo - but true nonetheless.

Answer 6

Evolution assumes that man dropped out of the trees 1 to 5 million years ago and became fully human approximately 100,000 years ago. Yet archeological records show civilization arising only about 5,000 years ago (based on evolutionary thinking). In other words, by evolutionary reasoning, it took mankind 95,000 years after becoming fully human to figure out that food could be produced by dropping a seed into the ground!

This article is one of many found within Mr. Malone's excellent book, Search for the Truth. It has been estimated by evolutionary anthropologists that the earth could have easily supported 10 million hunter/gatherer type humans. To maintain an average of 10 million people, spread over the entire plane, with an average life span of 25 years, for the last 100,000 years . . . .would mean that 40 billion people had lived and died. Archeological evidence clearly shows that these "stone age" people buried their dead. Forty billion graves should be easy to find. Yet only a few thousand exist. The obvious implication is that people have been around for far less time.

Another indication of both a young earth and a confirmation of the worldwide flood is the scarcity of meteors in sedimentary rock layers. Although some meteors have been found in sedimentary layers, they are relatively rare. Meteors are easily identifiable, and many thousands have been identified and recovered from recent impacts on the planet’s surface. If most of the rock layers were laid down rapidly during the one year period of a worldwide flood, you would not expect to find many meteorites buried in only one year. However, if the sediment was laid down over billions of years, there should be multiple billions of meteorites buried within this sediment. The fact that we find so few is another possible evidence for the rapid accumulation of the sedimentary layers and a young earth.

Suppose you walked into an empty room and found a smoking cigar. You could assume that the cigar was very old and that it had only recently burst into flames, but the more logical conclusion would be that someone had recently been there to light it. The universe is full of similar "smoking cigars":

All planetary rings still exhibit intricacies which Should Have long ago disappeared.
All known comets burn up their material with each pass around the sun and Should Have a maximum life expectancy of 100,000 years.
The outer solar system planets should have long ago cooled off.
The spiral galaxies Should Have long ago unspiraled, and the uneven dispersion of matter in the universe Should Have long ago dispersed.

Scientists working from the preconception that the universe is 10-20 billion years old have suggested controversial and complicated possibilities for how these types of transient phenomena could still exist but their explanations are based more on faith, not science. The simpler explanation is that these "smoking cigars" are smoking because they are young.

What about dating methods which do seem to indicate that things are very old ? As seen in the first article on dating methods, assumptions are everything. For instance, carbon-14 generation rate has never significantly changed. This method does not date the age of the earth but understanding it can have a profound effect on our interpretation of the "ice age" and the "stone age". A recent worldwide catastrophe would have caused an enormous change in the total amount of carbon on earth's biosphere. This event would completely invalidate one of the basic assumptions of the carbon-14 dating method (a known carbon-14 to carbon-12 ratio throughout the measurement period) and lead to excessively old dates for organisms alive shortly after this flood.

GAIL:
Of course the word Rapture isn't in the Bible,how could it be since the word itself has only been around since the 1800s.
But there are PLENTY of Bible verses that refer to to it.
Eternity is forever, it pays to be ready :D

In Christ,
Jeff


p.s. Keep it safe:
enjoy your wait and what is your point precisely?
Paleontologists know it all? So much evidence points to a young earth that when evolutionists see it, they turn their backs and look for more lies. There have been human footprints found in the same layer of bedrock as dinosaur tracks (in Texas)
The ONLY reason evolutionists continue to wallow in their lies is THEY DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO ANSWER TO A HIGHER BEING...aka...ALMIGHTY GOD...Sorry .we'll ALL face Him someday and what will YOU tell Him? I pray you Accept Christ and repent so what you'll hear from our Lord is.'Well done,good and faithful servant'.

Answer 7

Science is a process of experimentation and observation,
in order to come to logical conclusions.
Yet, scientists don't believe their own test results if they
don't go along with their preconcieved ways of thinking.
Therefore, science can be classified as another BELIEF
SYSTEM. Just as athiesm is just another belief system.
A belief there is no God.
Who is more silly. The ones who hang on to the old story-telling
ways of teaching? Or those who get their UNDIES IN A KNOT
over those kinds of people?

Answer 8

er yes I can If i might be so bold as to say will you become a christian if I can answer your question?????
if you go to the Answersingenesis.com web site you can find the said list and more the creation magazine always has some scientist in it that believes in a creator God have alook at the web site hope this helps
and may God richly bless you
From a scientist such as my self. XXX

Answer 9

Right now, I don't Believe it Either.
Oh, I know GOD could Create it that way.
But, the Bible says to do Everything Decently and in Order. Not Haphazardly.
When you dig up something that Looks like a Spark Plug that was found Way Down in the Earth Layers (I am not a Geologist)----well?
Well?
WELL?
How'd it get there?

Answer 10

Someone posted a question saying he believes the rapture will happen in his lifetime, so I asked him if he's planning for a retirement then. I still haven't got any answer from him.

Answer 11

Ha ha, Rapture Righties.
