For the span of a billion years, there is relatively little evidence of faults, uplift, folding, erosion, seismic activity, geologic activity (and let me add even plant …

am Let’s look at the strata of the Grand Canyon and try to go through the sequence of steps it must’ve gone through according to SG. As mentioned by brunumb, all of this must’ve originally been underwater. This is a large expanse and the strata is quite deep. “The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 …
Here are examples of exposed stratified rock. We see parallel layers and then massive erosion after the layers were deposited. This pattern is so common we don’t even think twice about it. But, if you think about it, what would cause this pattern? Why would layers be parallel? Where did the sediment come from to …
In the A Deluge of Evidence for the Flood? thread, the question I primarily addressed was “What predictions does a Global Flood Model make?” I tried to get a consensus on what predictions both the Flood Model (FM) and standard geology (SG) makes. otseng wrote: ↑Fri May 22, 2009 3:03 pm In standard geology, stratas …

Sennacherib besieged Jerusalem and Hezekiah was able to do a deal with the Assyrians and pay tribute, which was a bit of a face …
I came across an interesting video by Tim Mackie about the origin and authority of the Bible. As co-founder of The Bible Project, he has demonstrated more than a little knowledge of the Bible. For Christians, the authority of the Bible is centered on Jesus. “when we say the Bible is authoritative what we mean …
One advantage of having the Bible as a written document is the promotion of literacy. And it has been an instrumental factor in promoting literacy across many cultures. The rise of literacy of the English language can be largely attributed to the Bible. Just 70 years before William Shakespeare put pen to paper, there was …
