History Channel Supports the Global Flood?

The History Channel has recently shown The Bible miniseries produced by Roma Downey (of Touched by an Angel fame) and Mark Burnett.

In the first episode we see Noah atop the Ark.  We pan out and see the Ark on a world sea with a rainbow in the background.  The view continues to zoom out until the entire planet is seen covered with a worldwide ocean!

In the book version of the History Channel special, The Story of God and All of Us, the Global Flood is clearly endorsed:

Because the evil that Adam and Eve introduced has spread throughout the world, and God is cleaning the earth so mankind can start all over. …

This enormous ship would hold two of each animal.  Once it was complete, God would soak the world in a massive storm, flooding all the lands and killing all of God's creation.  Only the people and animals aboard Noah's ark would live.  God has saved the world by nearly destroying it. [1]

Downey & Barnett seem to think that the Ark was a Large Barge of chaos:

[Noah hears] the bellows of oxen, the whinnies of horses, the bleatings of sheep, and countless other animal cries of distress. … Try as Noah might to muck out the stalls daily, the hold of the ark is a foul place, with little ventilation. … A geyser of water spurts through a new leak in the hull. The women scream. Noah battles to stand and plug the hole. [1]

Downey should have read John Woodmorappe’s comprehensive treatment of issues like these, Noah's Ark: A Feasibility Study.  Maybe Roma Downey needs to be touched by an angel (Acts 12:6-11).

This exile is just like the days of Noah for me:  I promised then that the waters of Noah would never again flood the earth.  I’m promising now no more anger, no more dressing you down (Is. 54:9, Msg).

Adam's Blog [stardate 177,234.007] – Call it Theodicy

Some renegade dinos killed ½ of the children on a learning expedition near Huqinect last month.  Why did this calamity happen?  I AM THE PROBLEM!  Original Sin is real.  The Fall brought the Curse [Ge 3].  

 

All my progeny, from the Top Invariant [N Pole] to the Bottom Invariant [S Pole], know that I disobeyed God by eating the forbidden fruit, the mangro.  The punishment affected not only Eva [Eve] and me, but also the animals, the plants, this fabulous planet and even the stars [Ge 3:14-19, Job 15:15].  After we left Paradise, the bad weather came.  Now I sulk in my anxious sleep.

Since I’ve become a mercenary against myself, there is such a thing as NeckRot.  I called it that because it will rot your neck.  Let me express my feelings with a poem: 

Call it Theodicy

I used to think all is well

Just ask me – I’ll surely tell
In Paradise, yet we fell
Now we’ve gone our own way
Tarnished my soul for a wish
Betrayed my God for fake bliss
I wasn’t looking for this
Now we’ve gone our own way

Oh, why did I chew?

I was so crazy
It’s such a bummer
My Theodicy

Why did the Curse ruin my life?

He acted so bad
We acted so bad
I acted so bad

*******

 

Did I hide my sin the way Adam did, or conceal my guilt behind closed doors … If I’ve ever raped the earth for my own profit or dispossessed its rightful owners, then curse it with thistles instead of wheat, curse it with weeds instead of barley … (Job 31:33, 39, 40, Msg).

Born This Way – Adam&Eve Remyx

What matters is that you love Him capital H-I-M

Just raise your hands up
'Cause born-againers sing this way

My Daddy told me when I was young

We are all born sinners
He rolled up his sleeves and got to work
On the farm and on the stairs

There's nothin' wrong with how God made you

Adam and Eve went together
Just like male and female
That’s how babies are made!

We lost our beauty, sad to say

Adam and Eve made a big mistake
You’re off the track LADY
No one’s born to be gay

Don't hide way under a net

Trust Christ – your sins he’ll forget
Turn from sin, yearn for heaven
No one’s born to be gay

Don’t ever brag – just praise the King

With the Father’s love you can begin

Believe in capital H-I-M
I love Jesus, He gives life!

No matter gay, straight or bi

Christ can transform your life
Read the Bible, know your gender
Be a Radical Scripture defender

Sacred Cows in Science is a superb work helping us form a Christian WorldView.  It covers such hot topics as climate change, Intelligent Design, reality of the soul, Global Flood, dinos etc.  Dennis Jernigan, the well-known Christian musician and worship leader has written the last chapter, “No One is Born Gay.”  The Lord delivered Dennis from a homosexual background.  Here is an excerpt:

… those who identify as homosexual are statistically at a higher risk of drug use, suicide, depression, and other emotional problems.  In addition, in the October 1999 issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, research on the relationship between homosexuality and mental-health problems found that men with same-sex partners were 6.5 times as likely as their co-twin counterparts to have attempted suicide. [1]

In The Great Evangelical Disaster, Francis Schaeffer said,

The issue is whether the Bible gives propositional truth … where it touches history and the cosmos and this all the way back to pre-Abrahamic history, all the way back to the first eleven chapters of Genesis … [2]

“Every single biblical doctrine of theology, directly or indirectly, ultimately has its basis in the Book of Genesis” – Ken Ham. [3]

Writing in “The Funeral of a Great Myth” C.S. Lewis wrote,

… everything is moving “upwards and onwards.”  Reason has “evolved” out of instinct … civilization out of savagery … [many Darwinists claim] reason, virtue, art and civilization as we now know them are only crude or embryonic beginnings of far better things – perhaps Deity itself – in the remote future. [4]

Perfectly Clear Podcast – Hailey’s Paradox

Today’s podcast reviews Hailey’s Paradox by Arnold Simon.  One of the characters in the story points to hox genes (homeobox) as helping Darwin.  But hox genes are no savior for evolution.  Simon fails to realize that science itself is based on a Biblical foundation.

Calculus is Easy (Calc is EZ)

Calculus is Easy is a new book by Jay Hall M.S. (Math, 53 hrs. Science).  If you are a homeschooler, get this book‼  Hall makes math fun with a lively explanation, great applications and neat ways to help memorize formulas.  This Math book is different in that it is not based on naturalistic and materialistic PreSuppositions. 

This text even gives Access Research Network a plug.  Phillip Johnson would be proud.  There is an interesting reference to Solids of Evolution:

Could there possibly be any connection between Math and the films Life of Pi and Courageous?  Read this book and find out for yourself.

A fascinating video on the book is on YouTube.  Discover the meaning of MathDoku and get this book today!  You too, can learn more about arc length in polar coordinates:

Young Earth dot com

Young Earth is an impressive website supporting Young Earth Science (YES).  It is sponsored by Real Science Radio (formerly Real Science Friday, contra npr’s Science Friday). 

How does the rapid formation of Manganese nodules refute uniformitarian PreSuppositions?  Where are the missing heavy metals in stars?  Can bacteria and sand create something like marble in hours?  Go to Young Earth for more info.

Real Science Radio is magnificent!  Hear an interview with Darwinist physicist Lawrence Krauss, author of The Physics of Star Trek.  There is also an episode on the New Scientist cover story “Darwin Was Wrong” (Re: tree of life).    

Young Earth has a forum and is associated with Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship (RMCF) of Colorado.  RMCF has regular meetings and videos of past speakers may be found here, including Paul Taylor, Rob Carter, Jerry Bergman and many others.

The Young Earth store includes a debate between Bob Enyart and Eugenie Scott (NCSE) on “junk” DNA.  There is also a debate on the age of the earth as well as Real Science Friday past shows (2006-2011).  Bob Enyart offered dino expert Jack Horner (technical advisor for Jurassic Park) $23K to radiocarbon date dino soft tissue!  Please support this effective Young Earth Science (YES) resource.  Does Intelligent Design support Young Earth Science?
