Some try to combine Genesis and evolution, but this
approach, as Ryrie rightly indicates, "... discredits the authority of
Jesus Christ, for he accepted the account of the creation of Adam and Eve
(Matt. 19:4; Mark 10:6) and the historicity of the Flood (Matt. 24:38; Luke
17:27). If His words cannot be trusted in these particulars, how can anyone be
sure they can be trusted in other matters?"
("The Bible and Evolution," p. 67)

Mark 10:6 clearly points to a youthful planet: "But
from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female’" (Gen.
1:27). Matthew 24:37-39 compares the
Flood to the Second Coming of Christ. Jesus' return will not be a localized event, neither was the Flood. Writing in Bibliotheca Sacra, Ryrie stated,
While it is not the purpose
of this discussion to investigate all the possibilities in the interpretation
of the creation account in Genesis, it is germane to point out some of its
salient features. ... the results of the flood and their effect on the world
[not just the Middle East] as we see it today must be a part of anyone's total
picture of creation.
("The Bible and
Evolution," pp. 76,77)
Sounds like a #GlobalFlood to me. Once you accept a Universal Deluge, Young
Earth Science #YES is not far away! I
have written two books defending a youthful world from #History & #Science

Bolton Davidheiser (d. 2007) went to Johns Hopkins
University where he earned a Ph.D. in Zoology with an emphasis in Genetics. After delving deeper into the
"evidence" for Darwinism he became a #Creationista
His classic Evolution and Christian Faith has a foreword
written by ... you guessed it - Charles Ryrie!
Bro Bolton wisely proclaimed way back in 1969 that,
The apostle Peter in his
second epistle (II Peter 3:3-6) wrote about scoffers in the last days who would
reject the promise of the Lord's return, presenting as evidence their
observation that "since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as
they were from the beginning of creation." This is a description of
uniformitarianism, and Peter mentions specifically that these people would
willfully disregard the Scriptural account of the flood which destroyed the
life that was upon the earth. Whitcomb and Morris, in The Genesis Flood,
discuss fourteen geological phenomena which the uniformitarian principle [as
understood by Lyell] is inadequate to explain. The concept of "flood
geology," whereby much of the geological history of the earth is explained
as being due to the flood of the time of Noah, is a matter of ridicule to the
men of science, but it is the belief of this writer that Whitcomb and Morris
have written a book which marks the beginning of the time when this must be
considered seriously from a scientific standpoint. ...
The Science Editor of
Newsweek reported in the issue of December 23, 1963, that geologists at a
recent meeting of The American Geological Society "were advising the
rehabilitation of catastrophism," but added that this would be
"without recourse to a supernatural agent." ... The editor comments
that catastrophism is "a fighting word among geologists. It is a theory
based on divine intervention." Why should geologists become so upset
because some people believe God intervened in nature? ... To them catastrophism
and teleology are fighting words. This attitude is unscientific and it seems to
be part of a larger conspiracy aimed at the denial of a personal God, and
particularly at discounting the atonement of Christ. [1]

My heart goes out to poor
old Noah
Feeding leopards, watching
boa,
Reassuring a hippo mother
Keeping his charges from
eating each otter.
For having started 2 by 2
1 by 1 would be too few
No wonder he seethed in
helpless rage
After all that time in an
animal cage.
-- CC Ryrie
Noah's Flood was a real worldwide cataclysm ... just take
it from the Jubalaires ♫
