Point three of Creation/Macroevolution
Point Three
"Third, there are evidences in virtually every culture that the Bible narrative of Genesis is true or at least evidences that support the narrative. Genealogies around the world mention Noah, Sham, Ham and/or Japheth and some go all the way back to Adam. There are world-wide flood accounts from cultures on every continent. The Biblical account was carefully safeguarded by the family of Adam through Noah down to Moses and then on through time by Jewish scribes carefully counting words and comparing scripts so that not "one jot or tittle" would be miscopied. This is why the Genesis account is plausible whereas other stories have the appearance of what we call myth."
Hopefully you have read Beowulf, Grendel, and a preponderance of Dinosaurs. Perhaps you read the Genealogies post (and I apologize for the mispelling). For those of you new to the discussion, I would urge you to read both those posts and the comment threads (to hear the other side) in order to catch up.
These two posts touch a bit on points two and three and they are both similar, really. There is a great deal of evidence in historical literature, carvings, drawings, statues, etc, that dinosaurs were living at the same time as men and did so for hundreds of years. There is also a good deal of evidence that the Genesis genealogies were shared by people around the planet even though most of them did not have access to the Book of Genesis.
We have already been through a bout of discussions about this so many comments would simply be re-runs. Suffice it to say that naysayers see this evidence and usually reply either "myth" or "hoax" without giving much serious consideration to the subject. This is a sufficient reply for many of you. Most of us grew up believing stories of "dragons" were simple fairy tales made up for the amusement of children. My research indicated to me that, no, the reports were by sober individuals made in the distant past, individuals whose testimonies are debunked now simply because, well, there couldn't really have been pterosaurs in England a six hundred years ago, could there? Pshaw!
For those of you with a genuine curiosity, my two linked posts will also point you to other sources of information that you may peruse in search of evidences for these two points.
I can say that such evidences are precisely what one would expect as a YEC creationist. Of course there were reports of dinosaurs since it took a great deal of time before they were made extinct by environment and mankind. Of course names in the Biblical genealogies would show up all around the world, for those people were the forefathers of all people now living!
In any event, point three, like point two, is a matter of looking at evidences that were produced in the distant past, the works of mankind whether written or graphically expressed. Point four will concern the rock layers. That will be the next one due for Monday if possible.
