16) Time In Creation

The 1925 Scopes “Monkey” Trial charged high school biology teacher John Scopes with breaking the law by teaching Darwinian evolution in a public school. He was in fact guilty of breaking existing law, and duly convicted. Therefore his renowned defense attorney Clarence Darrow argued for a bigger issue – eliminating the Bible as a credible source of history and science and relegating it to personal faith. 

This was a problem for the elite who were at the forefront of intellectual developments but also identified as Christian to be acceptable to the masses. Hence options for interpretation were inserted into the Genesis account of creation to account for evolution.

Many people have become agnostics because of the supposed conflict between the Bible and science.  In truth, there is no conflict at all between a correct translation of the Bible and really proven science.

“science knows human beings have lived on the earth far longer than the few thousand years covered by the Bible…”

Note – this assumes that evolution is a “really proven science” which it is not.

“the truth is that the Bible nowhere says that Adam was the first man…— it merely says that Adam was the first man of a new [creation] or the White race.”

Note – this assumes that the student of this sophist hasn’t read the Bible for him/herself.

Note the failure to provide the biblical reference for this statement, and the obfuscation of the clear biblical statement, supported by historical sources such as Herodotus and scientific sources such as DNA evidence as presented in later posts, that the white race is descended from Noah’s son Japheth after a catastrophe wipe out the majority of humanity.

“In Genesis 3, verse 3, when Eve tells Satan that God has said that they must not touch the fruit of the Tree of Good and Evil, the word there translated “touch” [in the King James Bible] is the Hebrew word “ִתְגּעוּ th gou” meaning “to lie with, to have sexual intercourse with,” which plainly shows that…there were other people in the world at that time.”

Where does Mr. Comparet get his variant translation “to have sexual intercourse with”?

Apparently he just makes it up.

And people who don’t investigate the claims being made blindly grasp, like Eve, at whatever appeals to them.

“Obviously, the trees in the garden of the Lord in Eden were family trees of races and nations.”

So this interpretation is that the law against the “forbidden fruit” was a law against mis-cege-nation, having sexual relations with other races.

“it was Adam’s job to rule the various nations and races of the earth as God’s representative here, educating them in God’s laws and enforcing obedience to those laws.  These other races and nations had been here many thousands of years before Adam.”

Again, where does Mr. Comparet get his information? He just makes it up.

As detailed in a later post, evolution dehumanizes categories of people. Inserting evolution into the Bible allows Christians to claim a biblical means of salvation from hell while simultaneously rejecting unpalatable equality, justice, and righteous behavior towards rivals and allowing massive exploitation and murder of third world nations. and allows the elite tyrants to exploit and murder ‘inferiors” and “worthless eaters” with impunity.

Why do those being exploited by this buy into their justification?

TO IDENTIFY ONESELF AS BEING PART OF THE ELITE.

The second perversion of the biblical account of Creation, called the “Gap Theory”, states that the initial universal was essentially a black hole, from which expanded all the formed mass and energy entities thereby apparently reconciling the Bible with the belief of evolution that the Earth is billions of years old.

This form of acceptance of evolution is just as unacceptable to fundamentalist Christians, and the most enduring legacy of the Scopes Trial was the creation (get it?) of two dichotomous options,

  1. deep age Darwinian evolution destroying any faith in biblical inerrancy
  2. and young earth creationism as the only theologically viable approach to anything reported in the Bible.

Creation science, a field which looks for scientific evidence that the earth was created in a manner consistent with the Genesis account, is taught almost exclusively in the vein of young-earth creationism (YEC), the belief that the earth is less than 10,000 years old

So fundamentalist biblical opponents of the Gap Theory fiercely insist that everything in Genesis 1 occurred in seven 24-hour days.

Let’s be true scientists and examine all claims objectively.

The Creator described in the Bible no more needs 24 hours than he needs billions of years to create either the old or the new creation. We cannot judge the circumstances of “the King eternal, immortal” (I Timothy 1:17) by current conditions.

Eternity is not longer time. It is the opposite of time. It is time-less-ness.

“be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” (II Peter 3:8)

This has been interpreted as a code for determining the date of the end time, but that is not supported in scripture. Peter is simply making a comparison in known terms of time because we can’t grasp the eternal hyper dimension any more than colors can be described to someone who is colorblind or music to someone who has been deaf from birth.

“…eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world / chronos / timesbegan / aionios / a very long time ago.” (Titus 1:2)

This verse is an example of both the benefits and the confusion that comes from having different translations of the Bible. In this instance, the different translations of the phrase chronos aionios should help clarify the meaning – “the beginning of time, the world began, ages began.”  The common denominator to the different translations is that the Bible states there was a beginning to time.

This is corroborated by science.

Physicists agree that time had a beginning.”

While physical time is defined by deterioration, such as the decay of radioactive isotopes, historic time is defined by assigning a starting point and measuring standardized intervals between events. National histories are typically dated by the reigns of their kings. At the beginning of one historical novel set in Britain’s dark ages, the fictional narrator dates his story from three perspectives –

  1. for the Celts, when the Roman oppressors left Britain and they regained their freedom;
  2. for the Saxons, when they drove the Celts out of the choicest land;
  3. for the Christian converts, when their Lord Jesus Christ was born.

Likewise, the Bible does not document a geological earth calendar based on measurements of events like radioactive decay, but the doleful tolling of the deaths of men and their people.

And all the days that Adam lived were 930 years: and he died….And all the days of Seth were 912 years: and he died…” (Genesis 5:3-8)

“by one (hu)man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all (hu)men.” (Romans 5:12)

Death / time did not begin until the 7th day of creation, when the Adams violated a law of nature, and has an end – when death is destroyed.

So when…this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass…Death is swallowed up in victory.” (I Corinthians 15:53-54)

“And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven, And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever…that there should be time no longer...and there shall be no more death:” (Revelation 10:5-7, 11:15, 21:4)

Deep Age proponents are inconsistent in

  • holding on to the 19th century unscientific musings On The Origin Of Species which requires increased complexity over long eons of time
  • while at the same time accepting the scientifically determined Second Law of  Thermodynamicswhich states decreased complexity over time as demonstrated by the conversion of organized living plant matter into simple molecules of inanimate oil and coal.

Young Earth proponents basing their belief on the Bible are inconsistent with

These “days/eras” most clearly define A CALENDAR, it just isn’t based on human lifetimes measured in days and years. Based on the data provided that

  1. time is a function of deterioration
  2. and only hyperdimensional God and sons of God were present until Adam was created.

we must deduce that Genesis 1’s demarcation of “days 1-7) is recording that rebel hyperdimensional beings were engaged in destroying each phase of God’s Creation.

  • “when I laid the foundations of the earth.. all the sons of God shouted for joy…
  • [then] I shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth… I made the cloud the garment / straitjacket thereof, and…said…here shall thy proud waves be stayed.” (Job 38:4-11)

A plain, straightforward reading of Genesis 1:1-2 and Job 38:4-11 indicates that every aspect of Creation was catastrophically destroyed by water during “works of darkness”, which God repaired when he “worked during the next evening and morning”.

  1. “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
    • And the earth was / came to be without form [by flooding]..and darkness / Night was / came to be upon the face of the deep…waters [which caused the formlessness of the earth]..
  2. And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide…
    • the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: 
  3. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear…
    • and it was / came to be so…
    • NOTE! There is no mention of disposing of the waters “above the firmament”!
  4. And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven
    • and it was / came to be so…
  5. And God said, Let the waters bring forth…moving creature[s]…and fowl…fly…in the open / face / front of firmament of heaven…
    • the waters brought forth abundantly both fish and fowl
    • indicates water in the atmosphere, i.e. clouds 
  6. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature…cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was / came to be so…And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion
    • Humanity’s history begins on the sixth day of creation.
  7. And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
    • “All his work” includes taking dominion over the forces of destruction, which are now OUR God-given responsibility.

Climate science validates the biblical account of eras of destruction by water by the evidence of glacial periods. I have left out the estimated time frames due to inability to date events happening in the eternal timeless dimension, and the intractable application of long age time by Evolutionists.

There have been five or six major ice ages in the history of Earth.

Within ice ages, there exist periods of 1) more severe conditions called glacial periods  and 2) more temperate conditions called interglacial periods. The Earth is currently in such an interglacial period, the last of seven major interglacial periods when the earth’s climate was similar to its current state and evidence of expanding ecosystems and biodiversity is found in the soil embedded in each stratum of ice.

This clear evidence of increasing complexity is asserted to prove evolution, despite contradicting the gradual and continuous process inherent to the idea of evolution. Instead, the distinct stages clearly match the biblical eras of creation.  

Working backwards in time due to digging downwards through layers of ice [frozen water]:

The rest of the stages are defined by criteria, such as isotopes, that I am unable to correlate with the biblical account.
