Evolution of a Creationist Book - Free Download
Biblical Discipleship Ministries ^ | 12/22/2010 | Dr. Jobe Martin

Posted on 04/29/2013 10:55:17 AM PDT by imardmd1

This book describes Dr. Martin's personal journey from an evolution-trained scientist to a Bible-believing creationist. Dr. Martin examines many of the claims and theories of prominent evolutionists, comparing their often incredible, inconsistent, pseudo-scientific explanations of origins to the clear and simple description of the Creation as depicted in the Bible.

The result is the realization that evolution, just like creation, is in fact a faith system - in other words, it takes just as much faith, perhaps more, to believe in the Darwinist theory of evolution as it does to take as simple, profound truth the Bible's clear explanation of a world and a universe brought into existence by the mere thought process of Almighty God.

An additional treat in this book is a series of Marvels of God's Creation, animals whose incredibly complex design completely defies the ability of evolutionists to come up with any explanation for how the creature could have evolved to its present state.

This book is extensively footnoted and is suitable for a textbook in creation science. It gives all the glory to God for His magnificent creation and provides excellent topics for discussion and engagement of non-believers in debate on the world's origin, which can be used by the Holy Spirit to bring an evolutionist to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

IMHO you can’t think very much of God if you think he can’t have a say in evolution.

creationism doesn't challenge the literal acceptance of the Bible.

Sure, many creationists constantly test the accuracy of the Scriptures.

It holds. Other theories don't.

Have you read accounts of scientists finding woolly mammoth meat preserved in permafrost? Do you think such soft tissue/blood, etc., could ever be found for a Tyrannosaurus Rex?

For example?

So are you saying many global warming scientists are admitting that their predictions aren’t panning out [i.e.: have been diametrically opposite of what actually occurred] & their theory may be fundamentally wrong? Link, pleas

No I'm saying that others challenge their theories, providing alternative answers and presenting their research. How many creationists challenge the literal reading of the Bible?

You are wasting your breath on these creationist taliban.

I think you're right.

Both. What I meant here is that creationism's validity is based both on a literal Biblical hermeneutic and factual science observations.

What scientific observation supports the idea that everything was done in 6 literal days?

“No I’m saying that others challenge their theories, providing alternative answers and presenting their research.”

What ‘others’ are we talking about? I asked for a link, remember?

Here’s the deal. Global warming scientists made many predictions. The first & foremost prediction they made was that the planet was warming, & that the warming trend would intensify w time.

So for the past 15 yrs we’ve seen no warming, & some say we are actually in a cooling trend. I asked you to link to global warming scientists admitting that their predictions were so far off, their theory might actually be in jeopardy. This is not too much to ask. If “Science constantly challenges its hypothesis”, this is a premier opportunity for them to not merely challenge the hypothesis, but to admit they screwed up big time.

Let’s see those links.

Check out Michael Mann of “hockey stick” notoriety reluctantly admitting that climate change is driven by solar events.

Sounds like a tacit admission to me.

You are attacking Christians with the vocabulary straight from the anti-Christian/anti-American left.

Since you provided no link, I’m going to wing in based on memory. Let’s see now, did Mann come out of the blue & admit he screwed up? Or were his damning emails, including “hide the decline” leaked, forcing the admission of which you speak? I’m remembering ‘B’; how do you remember it?

Your reason will not save you. Neither will mine. Make your decision.

For example, many creationists take seriously the critiques of the scriptures. Every time the integrity of the account is attacked, they test the assertions of the attackers against what the scriptures say to see if the scripture can withstand the attack. This occurs not just with the evolution theory but all kinds of attacks made against the writings.

Mind you, many evolutionists just parrot the defense without testing it or thinking about it much. But there are plenty of creationists who are very familiar with how the scriptures have been attacked during the liberal era; so many of these assaults have been proven wrong (i.e. that Moses, for example, couldn't have written the Pentateuch because writing wasn't existent in his day) that they know that current assaults will likely be proven wrong as well. The sciptures stand the test of time.

I'm not counting on your opinion. His is in the Bible, which He had written for him. What He indicates about macro-evolution is that there was/is none. Decide. Your choice.

Basically he says that climate models cannot account for observed past climate change. He actually stops just short of the key admission. My bad, but I would never hold out Michael Mann as an exemplar of a good scientist in any case.

There are other, better, examples of former warmists who have had the scales removed from their eyes. I just don’t want to take the time to dig them out on behalf of someone who wouldn’t be grateful. - not you.

I’m hoping sakic is just temporarily busy, & will get back to me as time permits. I’m really curious as to whether he/she believes we might ever discover soft tissue from T-Rex. Wooly mammoths you can kind of understand; they were supposedly late in the ‘evolutionary cycle’, correct? But T-Rex reputedly goes back a long time...what is it—a million, two million yrs?

Cd it actually be closer to 68 million yrs? Seems a long time for soft tissue to survive. I wonder if it’s possible for blood & other soft tissue to survive that long?

What say you, sakic? Will scientists ever discover 68 million yo soft tissue? Odds seem low to me; how do you see it?
