Exactly how is the chin a "logical" problem for evolution? Where does the logic break down?
Not directly connected to the above, but I thought you'd be interested in the summary of a 30 min talk with Joel Brown of CRS (Creation Research Society, Glendale AZ). I had been trying to reach someone there for over a year because a local apologetics group director wanted his opinion on the platform of my view.
Essentially he said it is material that is much too hashed over to be constructive now. He understood that we were quite close but that an old universe cannot be supported. I reminded him that I'm referring to a lifeless universe; not one which has a 'vril'--an inherent life-producing force in it in which the strongest will dominate. I also gave the platform verbally to him, because over the past year, I do not find people supporting things they way I have--neither through word choice and literary style, nor through the celestial mechanics of starlight and a long C14 reading, nor through a meaningful rendering of 'spreading out.'
So he understood our agreements but said that I should be talking to people who believe in an older earth but a recent Gen 1 week.
I left surprised that his answers were an inexplicable form of light on Day 1 and surprised that after as many years as the point man for the association, he doesn't seem to be aware of what the
Hebrew word-choice was about heaven and even how it became a hyphenated heaven-firmament.
Which raised another question for me: if we have
a propositional record and a chain of custody for it, don't we have a form of evidence that is as significant as 'science' findings; isn't it really one of those sciences? But too many times we are not rational enough about it so that the 'Word' becomes unusual every way possible: we end up with 2 creations, with inexplicable light sources, with a document that is not complete enough anyway (the dangling stars line) so we go to 'science' findings and reinforce the division, not the unity, of knowledge.
On the '
spreading out,' he seemed unable to grasp that the matter itself could be produced by God in dense form and immediately spread out, thus resulting in a situation like Rogan and Myer: that 'who would have thought that modern findings about a big bang out of 'infinite density' (ie out of God acting on it immediately) would mean there was a miracle at the core of modern science?'
