All right class-SETTLE DOWN!-Today's lesson is on "Creationist Science" [View All]

[underpants]

My wife and I were wondering about this when we heard of the textbook controversy in Georgia. So I looked it up. It is a great (GOD like if you will)science where you start with an answer and work backwards looking for ANYTHING that will stick to it-gee doesn't THAT sound familiar?

For simplicity's sake let one FAQ start you on your learnings.

WHERE DO THE FOSSILS OF DINOSAURS AND OTHER EXTINCT ANIMALS FIT INTO THE BIBLE RECORD?

Read the whole thing (take aspirin before doing that) but here is where they get to the heart of the question

According to the Bible, death did not even “enter the world” until after Adam’s sin (Romans 5:12). And the fossil record, more than anything else, is a record of death—in fact, of sudden death—and on a worldwide scale!

At the end of the creation period (Genesis 1:31), God pronounced everything in the whole universe “very good.” Thus the struggling, groaning creation (Romans 8:22) everywhere evident in the fossil record must be dated Biblically as occurring after man’s sin and God’s curse on man’s dominion (Genesis 3:15). And this can only mean that most of the sedimentary rocks of the earth’s crust, with their fossils, were laid down during the awful year of the great Flood, when “every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground” (Genesis 7:23).

This must have included the dinosaurs and all other terrestrial animals, except those preserved in Noah’s ark. Evidence is available (in the form of human and dinosaur footprints in the same formation, of dinosaur pictographs left by primitive tribes in Africa and North America, and of the universally prevalent traditions of dragons among ancient peoples) that dinosaurs lived contemporaneously with early man. The geologic column, rightly interpreted, therefore, does not tell of a long, gradual evolution of life over the geologic ages, but rather its polar opposite—the rapid extinction of life as a result of God’s judgment on the antediluvians when “the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished” (2 Peter 3:6).
