441 Part 2: The scientific data relative to the Biblical teaching of Genesis 1-11. Chapter 1: General Theology of Scientific Evidences for the Creator & Bible: a] “God” hath “left not himself without witness” (Acts 14:15,17). b] Biblical creation model to be scientifically compared and contrasted with the Book of Nature. Chapter 2: “The creation of the world” (Rom. 1:20): the generally united old earth creationist school. a]i] Cosmology (The First Cause): “In the beginning God created” (Gen. 1:1), the universe & how at the time of the Big Bang God made matter out of nothing at all! a]ii] Cosmology (The First Cause): The “creation” claims of the world’s largest Infidel religion, Mohammedanism, as found in the Koran; and also the “creation” claims of the world’s two largest heathen religions, Buddhism & Hinduism; are not scientific. b] Teleology (Design): i] “God created the heaven and the earth” (Gen. 1:1) & the Anthropic Principle. ii] “In the beginning God” (Gen. 1:1): The Anthropic Principle subject to the Theocentric Principle (Isa. 46:9,10). iii] “God created … the earth” (Gen. 1:1): Earth’s Solar System. iv] “God created … the earth” (Gen. 1:1): Earth-Sun-Moon system. v] “God created … the earth” (Gen. 1:1) – but how “old” is the “old … earth” (Ps. 102:25)? Chapter 3: “God created … the earth” (Gen. 1:1): uniformitarianism & catastrophism. a] From Xenophanes to William Hutton. b] Adam Sedgwick (old earth creationist) verses Charles Lyell (anti- supernaturalist uniformitarianism). c] Thomas Chalmers (old earth creationist) verses Charles Lyell’s type of anti-supernaturalist uniformitarianism. d] William Whewell (old earth creationist) verses Charles Lyell (anti- supernaturalist uniformitarianism). e] George Cuvier et al (old earth creationist): uniformitarianism & catastrophism in the “worlds” or “ages” (Heb. 1:2; 11:3) of Gen. 1:1 & 2:4; creation, not macroevolution – mind the gap. f] The generally united Gap School view: filling in the blanks in the “worlds” or “ages” of multiple “generations” of Earth’s history in Gen. 2:4; Heb. 1:2; 11:3, following the creation of the temporal and spiritual heavens, from the Pregeological World of c. 4.6 billion B.C. to the start of the Last Ice Age c. 68,000 B.C.; creation, not macroevolution – mind the gap. 442 Chapter 4: Teleology (Design): “God created” (Gen. 1:1): Biological life forms: creation, not macroevolution – mind the gap. a] The Earth is prepared for more complex biological life-forms. b] Darwin Undone on admission of joint founding father of Darwin- Wallace Theory of Natural Selection, Alfred Wallace. c] The generally United Creationist School view on genetics of both old earth and young earth creationists: scientific laws of genetics support creation and refute macroevolutionary theory. i] The origins of life, and also genetic complexity of even the most simple cells or life-forms, points to a Creator God. ii] Convergence factors point to creation, not macroevolution: What came first, the chicken or the egg? iii] The mutation spiral is downwards, not upwards: the issue of no credible source for the new genetic material of new creatures from naturalistic processes indicating that creatures were created by God at the level of genus or below. iv] Old Earth Creationist Edward Blyth discovers the law of natural selection long before Darwin uses and abuses this law of nature. v] Subspeciation or Speciation i.e., either Theistic Microevolution within a genetically rich genus or below created by God or Natural Selection Microevolution within a genetically rich genus or below created by God is inside of Creationism; but speciation with alleged “natural process new genetic material” macroevolution beyond a genus is an anti-creation theory of evolution. vi] Where creationists may differ: Subspeciation & Speciation – How did varieties within species come about? What about genetically close brother species such as “horse” (Ps. 32:9) + “ass” (Gen. 36:24) = hybrid “mule” (Gen. 36:24; Ps. 32:9) etc.? vii] Laws of genetics critique Darwinian macroevolutionists. Chapter 5: The fossil record: creation, not macroevolution – mind the gap. a] The generally United Creationist School recognizes that the absence of transitional fossils flaws macroevolutionary theory. b] The Gap between the first two verses of Genesis & the Fourth Day. c] A scientific critique of “flood geology”: “What about the Young Earth ‘Flood Geology’ Theory that originated with George McCready Price, a cult member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, which says the earth is 6,000-10,000 years old as ‘confirmed’ by the visions of their cult prophetess Ellen White?” d] A scientific critique of the Global Earth Gap School’s global pre-Adamite flood & following global six day creation. 443 i] “What about the view that ‘the global catastrophe’ of Gen. 1:2 was the Last Ice, ending with the Holocene c. 8,000 B.C.?” ii] “What about godly Global Earth Gap Schoolmen?, And for that matter, What about godly Young Earth Schoolmen?” iii] “Landing the Gap School jet plane.” e] Common design patterns (homology) point to a monotheistic Creator, not as Darwinists claim to macroevolution: the generally united creationist school. f] Darwinian evolutionists stand back to back, walk out 10 paces, & then turn to shoot each other to pieces - The theory of slow gradual macroevolution which is ruled out by both the laws of genetics and the absence of credible transitional fossil records VERSUS the “jumping-box theory” of “punctuated equilibrium” which is ruled out by the laws of genetics: the generally united creationist school. Chapter 6: The creation of man: creation, not macroevolution – mind the gap. a] Human Anatomy: the generally united creationist school. b] Spotting the wood from the trees - the similarities of homology in promisians, simians, satyr beasts, & men; & the generally united creationist school. c] Soul-talk: i] Distinguishing man from animals - the soul gives man a god focus & capacity for religious belief in the supernatural; and conscience morality seen in a moral code. ii] A revised taxonomy for primates must replace the erroneous twofold taxonomy used for primates. iii] Distinguishing Satyr Beasts & Man, the Apers & Adamites: A clean cut – like putting a knife through butter. A] Men have souls, animals do not: the APER (African Pre-Edenic Race). B] An Aper Case Study: Australia. C] People “going ape” over the Apers. iv] Where creationists do differ: Subspeciation with respect to man. A] Where are the Adamites in the fossil record? B] Did God create diverse human races? A short preliminary discussion. d] The illusive search for Y chromosome Adam (or Noah) & Mitochondrial Eve: “I know that my genes have ancestors back to Adam: whereas paleontologists can only speculate that fossils they find had descendants.” e] Perforated bones: “Blowing the bone whistle” on “anthropologists” playing loony tunes on “bone flutes.” f] Frustrated Darwinian Macroevolutionists use fraudulent “transitional fossils” against the generally United Creationist School. 444 Chapter 7: The soul linked to Teleology, Ontology, Conscience Morality, & Ethnology: the generally united creationist school. a] Teleology (Design): Man as Body and Soul (Gen. 2:7; Matt. 10:28; I Cor. 15:45). b] Ontology. c] Conscience Morality. d] Ethnological universal belief in the supernatural. i] The argument of Ethnology. ii] Protestant Missionary work among the Fuegians & Darwin’s claim the pre-Christianized Fuegians were atheists. e] The five arguments from godly reason considered together. Chapter 8: Christian experience. Chapter 9: Why the science of astronomy requires that the six 24 hour creation days of Gen. 1:2b-2:3 were on a local earth not a global earth. a] The science of astronomy requires a local Edenic creation in Gen. 1:2b-2:3. b] Sometime Anglican & sometime Presbyterian Westminster Divine, John Lightfoot, rejects the Flat Earth Theory. c] Calculating an upper end size for the local Edenic creation in Gen. 1:2b-2:3. Chapter 10: Why the science of linguistics for Days 5 & 6 (Gen. 1:20,21,24,25 ) & Gen. 6-9, coupled with the size of Noah’s Ark (Gen. 6:15,16), requires that Gen. 1:2b-2:3 refers to the creation of a local Edenic World (Gen. 2:8,11-14). a] Young Earth Creationist’s theory of “baraminology” animal “kinds” on Days 5 & 6 ruled out by the science of linguistics. b] Old Earth Creationist Hugh Ross’s theory of only “birds and mammals” on Days 5 & 6 ruled out by the science of linguistics. c] The science of linguistics for Days 5 & 6 & Gen. 6-9, coupled with the size limitations imposed by Noah’s Ark, requires the Gen. 1:2b-2:3 creation is a local heaven and local earth in a local world of Eden. Chapter 11: Paradise Lost: So Where Was Eden & How local is local or how small is small? The incomplete fossil record. a] Different models agree: Eden in or near, Mesopotamia. b] Adam’s dates give geological parameters. c] The Edenic rivers identify an area now under the Persian Gulf. d] The size of Noah’s Ark imposes limits on the size of Eden. 445 e] What about the “raven” & the “dove” (Gen. 8:7-12)? f] The incomplete fossil record: Is there a flood deposit for Noah’s Flood in the Land of Eden? g] The Greek Septuagint, Eden, & the Promised Land. Chapter 12: Inside-Outside Distinction: Everything was rosy in the Garden - A thorny issue, What about death, thorns, & thistles? a] General. b] Outside Eden: The King’s Royal Parklands Out-of-bounds to man. c] The creatures inside Eden: What are the “kinds” created on the 3rd, 5th, and 6th days? d] What got cursed in Gen. 3? e] Outside Eden: God’s creatures of the King’s Royal Parklands.
