The worlds of Creationism and Theology have always had
the wrong view of Genesis, and refuse to accept that they're a hindrance to the truth, and to mankind. It
is despicable that "young Earth" creationist groups deceive their
followers, that think that the groups are supporting Genesis, when in
reality, those groups are teaching foolishness, and run from the truth
of scripture.
There is an article at http://inewp.com/?p=7250
which I asked questions which creationists couldn't answer. To
further expose the hypocrisy of Creation Science, I expose the irrelevancy
of the flood of Noah, concerning the age of our Earth, which is the backbone of
young Earth doctrines.
Young Earth creationists (YEC's) try to convince others
that Noah took dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals into the ark. However, the dimetrodons died out in 245
Million BC. The dinosaurs died out in 65
Million BC. But Noah's flood was in 2611
BC. Are YEC's really that foolish? Yes, there was death on Earth before Adam
sinned, in 4267 BC.
In order to make their premise more plausible, YEC's
claim that Noah took infant species of the many large animals into the ark, in
order to make them all fit. But that is
a lie. In Genesis 7:2, it says;
Of every clean
beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male
and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male
and his female.
This verse reveals two things; 1) no infants were taken into the ark, because they don't have mates, and 2) there were seven pairs of the clean beasts, and one pair of unclean beasts. Were there fourteen indricotheriums and fourteen brontotheriums (which died out forty million years ago) in the ark? Brontotheriums were eight feet high at the shoulder. Indricotheriums were fifteen feet high at the shoulder, and their heads were twenty-six feet high.
If you take all of the land animals that ever lived, both modern and prehistoric, clean and unclean, there was not enough room in the ark to hold them all. In the book of Leviticus, God gives a list of clean and unclean animals, which Moses referred to when writing in Genesis.
Young Earth Creationism misrepresents the Genesis text, and is both foolish and deceitful. I advise all to leave such foolishness and seek The Truth of Genesis.
