How do you explain evidence of Glaciation in Israel during the Mid-Pleistocene era?
Why is there no mention of Glacial periods in the Bible.
Surely if the climate changed so radicaly that glaciers formed in Israel they'd be mentioned in the Bible, somewhere?
The actions and traces of glaciation are obvious and consistent worldwide and can be seen and studied today at current glaciation sites. They do not vary.
Could it be that the Geological time scale is correct and these Glaciers were in Israel about one million years ago?

I've asked this before and had no answers that made any sense. If it is over your heads then why are you trying to usurp logic and science?

Again, you are basing your asssumption of age of Glaciation on the unreliable radioactive dating methods.
Sorry...that age determination is flawed...it is based on evolutionary assumptions.....
So get over it.

Once again, we must choose what makes more sense, and has more proof that lines up with good science, etc, and don't forget logic, etc. I suppose it "could" be, like you asked, but it is not likely, and it is also just as likely, that the methods you are putting a lot of "weight" into, could be flawed. I have found, through my studies, that the bible is an amazing book, that has a lot of things to back it up ,including good science. It was not meant to cover all the histories of all the places and cultures in the whole world. Could you imagine how big it would be, and less relevant to the "point" the bible is trying to make overall? For what it is, it actually is the most amazing piece of ancient literature ever known to man, and continues to be the best seller, and book to be translated. It shouldn't concern people that there are those like you out there, that question it, because it should be questioned. People just need to be honest, intellectually, and every way when looking at these things. There is a lot at stake.

YOu realize your question is based on the assumption, right?
You are assuming everything you see waqs layed down slowly over time and the earth's processes have always been the way they are now.
A person who believes in the Creator would simply tell you he created the earth with marks of age in it, and all kinds of signs of a geological process that never happened.
You have no way to refute that. He has no way of refuting your claims.
You are both making claims based on assumptions. At least you could be honest and admit it. Instead you come to a forum for religious discussion and bash people's beliefs. Why don't you just buy a white hood and go act the bigot in a more concrete manner.

I am a "creationist" as you put it, but the earth is millions and millions of years old. Duh. The Word of God says in the first verse of the Bible, 1--in the beginning,God created the heaven and the earth" 2--And the Earth was without form and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters". (KJV) It does NOT say how before long Gods Spirit moved upon the face of the deep. The earth could have been around for millions of years before that happened. There is no timeline mentioned.

The Bible is the History, Old Testament, of the Jewish people and GOD'S attempts to reconcile man and Himself.
It is not a History of the world and was never intended to be.

in case you had studied geology (which I tremendously doubt), you may understand that there are 2 considerable branches: actual geology and historic geology. actual geology is the type they use daily and is in line with watching, testing, and demonstrating. that's the type they use to do their mining and such. historic geology is the attempt to understand the background of the earth and its beginning place. That has no place in sensible existence.

I like two amusing answers so far... they offered ridicule, but no answer. Shows the cleverness of some Christians.
There is an old Celtic saying
Three things a fool laughs at:
That which is good
That which is bad
That which they do not understand.

Of course the creationist answers don't make sense. They're interested in wordplay and obfuscation not making sense. If they can blind you with irrelevant bullsh!t while making a few disparaging remarks about Darwin or evolution they regard it as a triumph.
