ICR nicely summarizes several good arguments in favor of a short age of the earth (C14/C12), worldwide flood (dinosaur tracks,ice ages), intelligent design (Echo-location by bats and porpoises, the function of hands), and direct evidence against spontaneous generation and naturalistic explanations to the origin of life(Louis Pasteur). Take a look!

Design in Nature a Thumbprint of God

1/15/2015

The Pulley: It is one of the basic tools in physics. Man thought he invented the pulley, but the pulley has been inherent in nature long before man utilized it. See figure below. Several muscle positioned on the posterior side of the leg connect to tendons which curve around the Malleolus (a bony protrusion with a groove for the tendons to slide in) and inter-digitate on the plantar (bottom) region of the foot/toes. Flexion occurs with contraction of the muscles which then pulls on the tendons, which do not stretch (they are like a cord of rope). As the tendons are pulled back and upward the foot and toes bend downward. The foot and toes can bend because of the joints, which are composed of a firm yet flexible material called cartilage, which allows then to deform without breaking the bony non-flexible areas. In like fashion the airplane has a servo that acts much like a muscle which pulls on a non-stretching cable that loops around a post and bends the aileron up or down. It is the contention of this author that God allows man to search out and discover such principles of nature and then to utilize them-which we call technology. Bu man did not create these principles-only God did it.

Painted Desert AZ Beauty Yet Evidence For Catastrophy

Seen in this photo taken at the Petrified National Forest Park are evidences for catastrophic deposition and not  just a post forested area with meandering streams as presented in the museum. The lava flow (black layer on top) of the colored layers is calculated to be 4-8 myo while the colored layers just below are considered to be 180 myo.(Please note there are many problems with dating strata.) But 
why is there such an "unconformity" or gap in-between the calculated ages of the strata? These layers of the painted desert cover 4 states and similar layers are found on other continents. As noted in the name of the park there are  tumbled logs: striped of bark, branches, and roots but often aligned in what may have been the flow of current. The colored strata are clayey ashen layers with frequent gypsum deposits that are consistent with massive volcanic ash and mud flows. As well there are  mixtures of life forms with up to 100 different species of flora, and at least 8 different large tree forms (mega-fossils). There are various fish, dinosaur, and reptile forms found buried in it as well. But often found only in fragmented condition.Contrary to the Park presentation these observations could be put within a catastrophic regional or even worldwide event-such as the Noah Flood Account. See section in Creation/Evolution  tab and then the sub-tab Geological Evidences on this website.The problems with radiometric dating of earth materials is discussed. As well, Dr A. Snelling's two volume text Earth's Catastrophic Past has much more similar information. Photo by JGL.

A Circular Ark from Mesopotamia: The Original Story of Noah? No!

1/9/2015

Dr John L., United States, 10 January 2015 (Posted in Australia now)
Thank you CMI and Dominic Statham as an engineer stepping forward to address this man's claim of the Babylonian story of a circular ark being the original story - which is an incorrect claim. The issue of the origin of the Flood story has been bantered around and subjected to more criticism since the time of Darwin. Most earlier church scholars fully supported a literal rendering of a worldwide flood and a large boat of float-able dimensions. The Babylonian stories, as there are several, are clearly a degenerate form of the Noah Account.

I wrote a 500 page dissertation on the Noahic Flood assessing whether it was a True Narrative Account (TNR), i.e. a true eye witness account. It has all the characteristics necessary to be a TNR. For Determinancy it uses many ancient terms but also unique ones. The terms for ark and flood are unique. Ark "teba" is used for the boat of Noah and Moses only, and for flood "mabbul". It, flood-"mabbul", is used only one other time when God sat over the flood Ps. 29:10. As well, Noah used the term "eres" for describing water covering the whole earth, and "dama" when describing the destruction of life. The continuity of the text or Connectedness is seen in that it not only is in a chaistic structure as noted in the article but also fulfills the requirment for a geneologic inclusio, repetitio mater studiorum, purposeful textual discontinuity. It is not an amalgamated text. Finally, it fits the concept of Generalizability as geological, biological, anthropological and theological observations and concepts are consistent with the Noahic Flood Account. The Finkel reading needs to be understood within the larger context of the information already available. Thank you for an engineer, Statham, addressing the "circular" boat issue.
