Re: Unlocking an Old Earth Understanding on YEC Terms
Unlocking an Old Earth Understanding on YEC Terms It's with great excitement that I write this post. What I’m about to do here is provide a high-level interpretation of Genesis on the primary dividing point between YECs and Day-Age proponents — yom translated “day”. BUT, not just that. I’m going to...

Re: The Most Wild View On Creation
Well jalvarez, Cat got your tongue? Or were you just yec all along, pretending to shop at the GAP? Nobody so easily, gives up on a belief that they defended as much as you defended your Gap Theory. So what's the deal? Did Kent Hovind send you here from his jail cell? *edit-nevermind. It seems Hovin...

Science vs Zeteticism?
I wanted to know from the fellow members here which method they think is better for coming to sound conclusions about the world we live in: Science or Zeteticism. To sum up the differences, Science starts with a hypothesis, then seeks to test it with experiments. If the hypothesis is tested to be co...

Re: The Most Wild View On Creation
Well, bad news guys (not really, lol). I no longer am a gapper. But it wasn't because of "the Hebrew" or whatever. I still think Genesis 1:2 is chronologically after 1:1, but not by more than a day's time. Probably just a few seconds or so. Regardless, what convinced me (to now come back ...

Re: The Most Wild View On Creation
"And the earth was without form, and void,.... It was not in the form it now is, otherwise it must have a form, as all matter has; it was A FLUID MATTER, the WATERY parts were not separated from the earthy ones; it was not put into the form of a terraqueous globe it is now, the sea apart, and t...

Re: The Most Wild View On Creation
"the earth was without form and void—or in "confusion and emptiness," as the words are rendered in Isa 34:11. This globe, at some undescribed period, having been convulsed and broken up, was A DARK AND WATERY WASTE for ages perhaps, till out of this chaotic state, the present fabric o...

Re: The Most Wild View On Creation
Here's another thing: The Geneva Bible: "And the earth was [a] without form and void, and [c]darkness was upon the [d]deep, and the Spirit of God [e]moved upon the [f]waters." Here's a footnote from the translators (who knew Hebrew) [a]: "As a rude lump and without any creature in it:...

Re: The Most Wild View On Creation
Rick, words are defined by the way they are used in literature. In the Hebrew literature of Genesis 1:2, tohuw is used to describe a water filled earth with no land (no form). Thus, it can mean a watery mess. It's that simple.

Re: The Most Wild View On Creation
Yes, I see the meanings, but the meaning of a word isn't limited to how its defined in a dictionary, but how its used in literature. Tohuw (without form) in Genesis 1:2 clearly means a watery mess. Tohuw in Jeremiah 4 also means a watery mess (mainly because of strong similarities between that vers...

Re: Debunking The Anti-Gap "Grammatical Argument"
I think you just admitted that its possible for there to be a gap in between 1:1 and 1:2, but you don't see any evidence for it. Okay. At least now its moved from the realm of the "impossible" to the "improbable". That's progress.
