Both Biblical & Evolutionary Orders Are True Biblical Order is True The Young Earth (pg Evolutionary Order Is True 31) By Dr. John Morris

Theological attempts to embrace the Bible and evolution. They did not come from “science” They did not come from “science” Does it matter? Does it matter? YES!!! YES!!!

Session 1 (Cont) If God Created us—  HE and only He makes the rules.  There are absolutely “absolutes.” (Rights and wrongs.)  The concept of “authority” is authorized, mandated, and directed under His domain.  Sickness and death are a consequence of sin.  Sin has eternal consequences.  The Bible is fully reliable.  Salvation is provided by Christ.

Session 1 (Cont) If We Evolved—  WE and only WE make the rules.  There are no “absolutes.”  The word “authority” has no meaning outside of voluntary submission. (“Voluntary submission is in serious conflict with “Survival of the Fittest.”)  You have no purpose in life - other than your own self satisfaction.  The Bible is not credible.  The concept of “salvation” is irrelevant.

The Six Days of Creation

Session 6 Dinosaurs Are fun creatures to study Fit into the Bible very well How did all those creatures fit into the ark?!?

Session 7 Global Warming 1. W e absolutely ARE accountable to God for our stewardship of His great gift to us. 2. A s responsible Christians we must address it in a responsible manner. 3. W e must not fall prey to doomsayers promoting a “sustainable environment”, politicians fighting turf wars, the media trying to give us an unwarranted guilt trip, or bad science promoting fantasies. 4. a )The earth “might” be getting warmer. b)However, the earth is very stable (self healing) c)If it is getting warmer, there is practically nothing you can do to prevent it.

Session 7 (Cont) 5.Last, and not least; I have already read the last page of my Bible. I already know the final score. I have the promise of eternal life and am charged with the responsibility of stewardship; not the salvation of the universe.

Do Stars That Are Billions Of Light-Years Away Prove” That The Universe Is Billions Of Years Old?

The heavens declare the glory of God; The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handywork. and the firmament showeth his handywork. Psalm 19:1 Psalm 19:1

NO!

Session 10 (Cont) Radiometric Dating Methods; Is the World Really Billions of Years Old? Photo of Carbon 12 Atom (Captured via high speed, digital, state of the art imagination) 12

How Are Fossils “Really” Dated? “Chad” “The skull and other fossil remains have been dated at 6 million to 7 million years old — which would make them the oldest-known relatives of modern humans.” “The usual radioisotope-dating techniques couldn’t be used on the thin geological strata where the fossils were found.” “Instead, the researchers used a less reliable method to come up with an age of 6 million to 7 million years, by comparing dozens of animal fossils that were found alongside the skull with similar fossils found in Kenya that were isotope-dated.” Nature Dec 18, 2003

Are There “Vestigial Organs”?  As Defined by Evolutionists –  They don’t exist!  (Never Have - Never Will!)  Yolk Sac  Tail  Gills 30

We should not therefore be surprised that Haeckel's drawings entered nineteenth-century textbooks. But we do, I think, have the right to be both astonished and ashamed by the century of mindless recycling that has led to the persistence of those drawings in a large number, if not a majority, of modern textbooks. Stephen J. Gould "Abscheulich! (Atrocious),“ Natural History, 109[2]:42-50, Mar 2000

W e should never be intimidated by evolutionary dogma 5. O ur faith need never be compromised by evolutionary dogma 6. H ow and what we believe determines our actions and worldview 7. W e must convey this to our children as they will never get it from the media/schools around them 8. I n today’s society, we can also use this info as a witnessing tool
