Tag: THE FLOOD
As in science, secular historians tend to ignore and trash Biblical accounts, even though archaeological finds frequently embarrass them and prove them wrong. Today I'm aiming more at some implications of secular accounts of history, and going beyond history I'm looking at the border between mythology and actual realities of the past. Listening to two … Continue reading Babylon, The Bible and the BBC
Secular geologists have become more convinced in recent decades that catastrophic processes caused at least some of what we see in the record of the rocks and the fossils, whereas they once insisted that the present is the key to the past. The difference in their interpretation of the effect of catastrophism is that they believe multiple disasters over many millions of years formed the rock record, whereas the creationist puts most (not all) of the features we see today, including most of the fossil record, down to one colossal catastrophe: the Biblical Flood.
One of the greatest stories of history is now largely ignored, not only in secular circles but in the Church. Shame on the Church! I for one will proudly and loudly stand up and defend the Biblical Flood - worldwide and catastrophic.
I'm aware that you almost can't believe anything you hear or see these days, in traditional or streaming media. Truth is almost entirely out of style, and that's the truth. I therefore recently listened with due skepticism to another video about "new findings" in the world of geology.
In my science classes at school-admittedly quite a long time ago now, I was taught “uniformitarian” doctrine: the present is the key to the past. Change occurs over eons of time at the rate of processes we observe now, was the instruction I received. This was, at the time, considered to be obvious, proven fact. Well, that proven fact has changed drastically. As we all know facts change regularly (that's a joke).
