Summation #6 (The Genesis Series, Part 51)

II Samuel 22:35:

He teacheth my hands to war;

God teaches His children to war.  In the Old Testament, the battle was against physical enemies and they possessed a physical land, the Kingdom of Israel.  From the new birth forward, our warfare is of a spiritual and eternal nature, and the Kingdom for which we fight is the all-powerful, invincible, and invisible Kingdom of God.  II Corinthians 10:3-5:

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:

4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

God teaches me how to be:

🕇 BORN AGAIN as a child of God, and to live free and forever among the righteous; and to be

🕇 Baptized with the Holy Ghost as they were on the Day of Pentecost.

He teaches my hands to war…how to:

🕇 Love my neighbor, even my enemies, as myself;
🕇 Eliminate all bitterness;
🕇 Fear God;
🕇 Eliminate all earthly fears, even to death itself;
🕇 Speak my day into existence;
🕇 Control the ground between my ears;
🕇 Cast out devils;
🕇 Bind and loose; and
🕇 Speak health and life to all my flesh.

God teaches my hands to war, and even to live a life full of everlasting purpose. 

He teaches me how to:

🕇 Reconcile the lost unto God…new eternal souls;
🕇 Minister glorious, life-transforming water baptism; and
🕇 Minister the second greatest miracle a man can know…the baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire.

He truly “teacheth my hands to war.” 

Dear visitor, have you yet to be BORN AGAIN—born a very real second time, this time of the Spirit of God, and this time as a child of God? John 3:3:

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

In just moments, I will invite you to follow me in a simple prompt, and if you follow from your heart, you will participate in the greatest miracle man can know.  Today, your sinful past will be entirely expunged.  Christ’s blood will render you white as snow.  Today, all of Satan’s bondages will be shattered. You will be entirely free. Today, God will begin to teach your hands to war. Here is the prompt I promised: Click onto Further with Jesus for childlike instructions and immediate entry into the Kingdom of God.  NOW FOR TODAY’S SUBJECT.

GOD SAID, Genesis 6:4:

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

GOD SAID, Genesis 6:8:

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

GOD SAID, Genesis 8:4:

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

MAN SAID: I don’t need no Jesus or His Bible! I’m the master of my own life.  You want to know who I owe for this marvelous body and earth I live on? NOBODY! Everybody knows that! There was this big bang out of nothing and *boom* here I am…just a big accident living it up!  

Now THE RECORD:  Welcome to GodSaidManSaid feature 1271 that will once again contend for the glorious, inerrant, beautiful Book.  All of these faith-certifying features are archived here in text and streaming audio for your edification and to be used as weapons, even battering rams, against the gates of hell. Behind those gates are the lost and bound sons and daughters of Adam, and the gates of hell shall not prevail (Matthew 16:18).

Every Thursday eve, God willing, GodSaidManSaid grows by one.  Thank you for visiting.  Strength and power unto you and your house. 

You have arrived at the GodSaidManSaid “Genesis Series;” this is Part 51.  Each of these features begins with the following information from the first feature:

According to a 2006 issue of Discover magazine concerning the deceased Carl Sagan: “Sagan approaches religion like any phenomenon.  He isn’t on a quest for life’s meaning, for a comforting philosophy, or even a guide to how we should treat the neighbors.  Sagan seeks truth of a demonstrable kind.  As a puckish example, he wonders why the book of Genesis didn’t include God-inspired truths…” [End of quote]

The BORN AGAIN scratch their heads in bewilderment.  Did these folks actually read the book of Genesis?

The challenge was: If God did, in fact, author the Bible, why didn’t He include God-inspired truths in Genesis, the Bible’s very first book? This is the sixth in a bullet-point, multi-part summation of the Genesis Series, which will be formatted in an instant-replay fashion. If you haven’t, take some time to visit the features reviewed.  You will not be wasting time.  This information is staggering. 

The Genesis Series took 45 weeks to catalogue; the summation of the series will take nine weeks. This is summation number six, which will review features 26, 27, 28, 29, and 30.

💣 Feature #26: The Sons of God & the Daughters of Men

Genesis 6:4:

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

Just prior to the great flood that destroys the entire world, wickedness and violence filled the earth.  Some very strange things had taken place.  Regarding the passage we have just read, we have already provided amazing history concerning the giants—even entire tribes of giants—on the earth in those days.  But what of the rest of the passage?  The fallen sons of God taking daughters of men as wives, thereby creating “men of renown,” sounds completely bizarre indeed!  The following information will be shocking to those unfamiliar with this matter. 

Two points before we begin:

1. For the past ten years, the scientific community has been uncovering ancient, non-human variants in human DNA that have them baffled.  Scientists have concluded that these variants must be the product of ancient humans breeding with a non-human species they have dubbed the “Ghost Species.” 

GodSaidManSaid suggests these alien tags in human DNA are the remnants of the fallen sons of God in Genesis Chapter 6. 

2. There are pre- and post-flood giants.  The pre-flood giants would have been destroyed by the global flood, just as it destroyed all the earth’s creatures that had the breath of life in their nostrils with the exception of those upon Noah’s ark.  The question then follows: Where did the post-flood giants come from? The Bible describes entire “tribes of giants” living in various places after the flood.  To my knowledge, the Scriptures are silent on the root of the giants that emerged after the flood.  Two assumptions are: Either the latent genetic code was carried by the wives of Noah and his sons, or additional fallen sons of God took wives of the sons of men.  I don’t know the answer, but I do know that there were giants after the flood as the Scriptures clearly record. 

There is something foundational to this feature to consider:

In Noah Webster’s 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language, son is defined as “a male issue of a parent.”  One of the definitions in the Oxford English Dictionary under the heading son of God is “a divine being; an angel.”  Adam was created directly by God and thus had the title “son of God.”  Luke 3:38:

Which was the son of Enos, which was the son of Seth, which was the son of Adam, which was the son of God.

Angels are directly made by the hand of God, thus, by definition, are sons of God.  Keep in mind, Adam had no mother.  It is important to note that the Bible speaks of many sons of God—as in Genesis 6 already quoted, and other examples include Job 1:6, 2:1, and 38:4-7. 

The ancient historian Flavius Josephus was born just a few years after Christ, and he writes in his book The Antiquities of the Jews about the fallen sons of God:

…for many angels of God accompanied with women, and begat sons that proved unjust, and despisers of all that was good, on account of the confidence they had in their own strength, for the tradition is that these men did what resembled the acts of those whom the Grecians call giants. [End of quote]

Did fallen sons of God take human wives and sire offspring known as “men of renown?” 

Scientists are perplexed at what they are discovering.  Several recent headlines follow:

❉July 25, 2017,NZHerald.com: “Ancient Humans Had Sex with Non-Humans.” 

❉ July 7, 2017, IFLScience.com: “This Tooth Once Belonged to a Member of a Mysterious Species of Humans that We Know Almost Nothing About.”

❉ July 21, 2017, Buffalo.edu: “In Saliva, Clues to a ‘Ghost Species’ of Ancient Human.”

❉ July 24, 2017, FoxNews.com: “Scientists Find Possible Clue to Ancient ‘Ghost Species’ of Human.”

❉ July 2013, NationalGeographic.com: “The Case of the Missing Ancestor.”  Subhead, “DNA from a cave in Russia adds a mysterious new member to the human family.” 

God destroys the earth and its corrupt inhabitants in the global flood of Noah but it certainly appears the DNA of the fallen sons of God in Genesis 6 was passed on, not only in the fact of many giants existing after the flood, but now also in the discovery of a mysterious human “ghost” ancestry. 

The ages reported in the excerpts that follow are built upon evolution’s foundational theory of uniformitarianism and therefore incorrect, but the relevance of the discoveries are real. 

❉July 25, 2017 feature onNZHerald.com, “Ancient Humans Had Sex with Non-Humans:”

New research shows that ancient humans had sex with non-human species.  According to a study conducted by Omer Gokcumen, an assistant professor of biological sciences at the University of Buffalo, ancient humans had intercourse with a “ghost species” of “proto-human.” 

Gokcumen found “wildly different” genes in DNA of humans living in Sub-Saharan Africa.  He believes these genes can be traced back to about 150,000 years ago when ancient humans were breeding with this mysterious “ghost species.”

This other species is referred to by the scientific community as a “ghost species” as there are no known fossils that can be analyzed. [GSMS note: The fallen angels in Jude 1:6 are presently imprisoned “in everlasting chains under darkness…”]

No fossils for the fallen angels did not die, though their offspring, which included giants, did.

Here we go again.  The February 12, 2020 headline from NPR.org reads, “‘Ghost’ DNA in West Africans Complicates Story of Human Origins.” Several excerpts follow:

About 50,000 years ago, ancient humans in what is now West Africa apparently procreated with another group of ancient humans that scientists didn’t know existed. 

There aren’t any bones or ancient DNA to prove it, but researchers say the evidence is in the genes of modern West Africans. [End of quote]

The fallen sons of God in Genesis 6 would have possessed mental abilities and actual life experience far superior to today’s science, and the offspring of the god-human mating—the “men of renown”—have demonstrated special genius.  It wouldn’t surprise GodSaidManSaid if some of ancient mythology’s bizarre claims of god, demigods (such as Hercules, Achilles, and Gilgamesh), and chimera may find the above players at work.

As you read on, keep in mind that there were giants.  The June 29, 2021 headline from CBSNews.com reads, “Massive ‘Dragon Man’ Skull Found in China Might be a New Human Evolutionary Branch:”  

A gigantic, fossilized skull that was hidden in a well in China for 90 years has just been discovered by scientists—and it’s making them rethink human evolution.

Ancient-Origins.net headlined, “‘Dragon Man’ Skull Found in China may be Another New Human Species” on June 25, 2021.  Excerpts follow:

The standout characteristic of the skull is its size.  It is the largest hominin skull ever discovered.  But overall, the shape and contours of its face resemble that of an impossibly large human being. 

“It’s got such an interesting combination of features,” Stringer noted. “The morphology shows that this is definitely a distinct lineage in eastern Asia. It’s not Neanderthal and it’s not Homo sapiens, it’s something quite distinct.  

After reading the reports above, one would rightfully wonder why not a single report invoked the dreaded word giant or fallen sons of God.  Those who presume to be our teachers and are schooling our children are obviously lacking schooling themselves—as in Sunday schooling.  The puzzlement gives way to a clear, absolute YES! when your childlike faith in God’s Word is exercised. 

💣 Feature #27: Noah I—Of Course, Yes!

Genesis 6:17:

And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die.

Historians, geologists, ancient societal records, archaeologists, anthropologists, paleontologists, biologists, and certainly Jesus Christ, His Old Testament prophets and New Testament apostles and disciples all testify to Noah and the ark. 

When one starts from a position of unbelief in God’s Word, upside-down will look rightside-up. 

Foundational to the theory of evolution is the theory of uniformitarianism, a geological concept that states the present is the key to the past.  In his book Many Infallible Proofs, Dr. Henry M. Morris speaks of evolutionary uniformitarianism as meaning, “…all things have developed into their present form by the same slow, natural processes that function at present, acting over billions of years of time.”  [End of quote]  

There are two accounts in the Biblical record that no-one would classify as “uniform.” Now, I must note that these Biblical positions can be proven beyond any reasonable doubt leaving only the doubt of the unreasonable kind.

1. Number One is creation itself. Had the uniformitarian encountered Adam 15 minutes after God created him and breathed the breath of life up his nostrils, this uniformitarian would have assumed eons of time for this Adam to evolve, yet Adam was only 15 minutes old.  No-one would call creation “uniform.”

2. Number Two is the global flood that took place in the days of Noah, which uniformitarians hold in total disregard.  This feature will once again certify the incontrovertible truth of Noah and his ark beyond any reasonable doubt, and the unreasonable, too. No-one would call a global flood that destroyed everything that had the breath of life in its nostrils (with the exception of those upon the ark) as “uniform.” NO-ONE!  

According to Bishop Ussher’s meticulous chronology recorded in his book The Annals of the World, written in the 1600s, Noah boarded the ark on Sunday, December 7, 2349 BC.

Stacks upon stacks of the obvious shout from the highest mountaintops, literally, and shout YES to Noah, but today’s academics refuse to acknowledge the obvious. 

One of the world’s most credible, ancient historians, who was born several years after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, was Flavius Josephus.  He wrote The Antiquities of the Jews and The Wars of the Jews.  Josephus wrote the following concerning Noah and the global flood; he also references historians who were from antiquity in his time.  He writes:

Now all the writers of barbarian histories make mention of this flood and of this ark; among whom is Berosus the Chaldean; for when he is describing the circumstances of the flood, he goes on thus: “It is said there is still some part of this ship in Armenia, at the mountain of the Cordyeans; and that some people carry off pieces of the bitumen, which they take away, and use chiefly as amulets for the averting of mischiefs.”  Hieronymus the Egyptian, also, who wrote the Phoenician Antiquities, and Mnaseas, and a great many more, make mention of the same.  Nay, Nicolaus of Damascus, in his ninety-sixth book, hath a particular relation about them, where he speaks thus: “There is a great mountain in Armenia, over Minyas, called Baris, upon which it is reported that many who fled at the time of the Deluge were saved; and that one who was carried in an ark came on shore upon the top of it; and that the remains of the timber were a great while preserved.  This might be the man about whom Moses, the legislator of the Jews, wrote.”  [End of quote]

Other historical accounts are found in the 500-plus ancient, societal records, nearly all of which are non-Judeo-Christian, that tell of the flood.

Concerning societal records, Dr. Andrew Snelling records the following in his book, The Genesis Flood Revisited:

Some estimates go as high as more than 80,000 Flood accounts in some seventy languages describing a cataclysmic deluge, more than 80 percent of them mentioning a large vessel that saved the human race from extinction.

It hardly seems necessary to refute the notion that missionaries were responsible for the spread of Flood legends in any appreciable way.  Nelson refutes this theory:

The Flood legends … were collected by men whose chief interests were anthropological.  They had no interest in establishing the truth of the biblical account, and they were concerned to secure native traditions, not traditions given to the natives by missionaries … [they] were students of the native races and nothing more. [End of quotes]

Archaeologist and author David Rohl writes the following in his book, Legend: The Genesis of Civilization:

The fact that the Yezidis (a remote Kurdish tribe) commemorate Noah’s sacrifice with their own ritual near the summit of Judi Dagh, north-west of the Greater Zab and south of Lake Van, is not the only piece of evidence which we have to connect this mountain to the flood story.  Josephus himself claims that ‘Mount Judi near Lake Van’ is the resting-place of the ark.  The Koran also tells us that the ark came to rest on Mount Judi. 

Finally, Rohl records the following concerning archaeological excavations conducted by Sir Leonard Woolley:

During his famous excavations at the ancient Sumerian city of Ur, between the years 1928 and 1934, Sir Leonard Woolley unearthed a thick alluvial silt deposit deep down beneath the modern surface of the site.  At first, it appeared that his workmen had reached virgin soil upon which the earliest settlement at Ur had been built.  But the clean zone of silt and the bottom of the excavation pit still appeared to be several meters above the surrounding ground level beyond the ruin mound.  Woolley was not convinced by his foreman’s protestations that their work was finished in the sounding and that it was pointless for him to dig deeper.

I do not like having my theories upset by anything less than proof, I told the man to get back and go on digging.  Most unwillingly he did so, again turning up nothing but clean soil that yielded no sign of human activity; he dug through eight feet of it in all and then, suddenly, there appeared flint implements and fragments of painted al-Ubaid pottery vessels.  I got into the pit once more, examined the sides, and by the time I had written up my notes was quite convinced of what it all meant; but I wanted to see whether others would come to the same conclusion.  So I brought up two of my staff and, after pointing out the facts, asked for their explanation.  They did not know what to say.  My wife came along and looked and was asked the same question, and she turned away remarking casually, ‘Well, of course, it’s the flood.’ [End of quotes]

Headline, February 8, 2016, AncientPatriarchs.WordPress.com reads, “Chinese Mythology Clarified by Miao Legend Confirms Noah’s Flood History!”  Excerpts follow:

In yet another version of the more than 500 global flood stories, the Chinese legend tells how the world was swept by a Great Flood, and only Fu Xi and his sister NüWa survived.  They then retired to Kunlun Mountain where they prayed for a sign from the Emperor of Heaven—God—or as He is called in Chinese, Shang Di. 

Forget the word “legend” as you read the following headlines:

⬥ August 4, 2016, New York Times:  “Scientific Evidence of Flood May Give Credence to Legend of China’s First Dynasty.”

⬥ August 5, 2016, UK Telegraph: “First Evidence of Legendary China Flood May Rewrite History.” 

⬥ August 4, 2016, Washington Post: “Legends Say China Began in a Great Flood.  Scientists Just Found Evidence that the Flood was Real.”

⬥ August 4, 2016, ScienceMag.org: “Massive Flood May Have Led to China’s Earliest Empire.”

Surely the global flood, Noah, and his ark have been, and are continually being, verified.

Headline, Jerusalem Post, November 1, 2023: “New Research Might Point to Location, Remains of Noah’s Ark.”  A paragraph follows:

The location of Noah’s Ark might soon be identified, a group of archaeologists have suggested as they unearthed geological formations in Turkey that bear a striking resemblance to a colossal ship. [End of quote]

💣 Feature #28: Noah II—Of course, Yes!

Genesis 7:21:

And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man:

Did the world’s entire human population, which could have been as large as ours today, perish in the flood?  Of course, the answer to these questions is YES! and exactly as the Word of God describes. 

If such an event occurred, then there should be proof everywhere, right?  There is—from the depths of the oceans to the peaks of the world’s mountains! The proof is EVERYWHERE!

Dr. Andrew Snelling, a geologist of serious stature, wrote in his book, The Genesis Flood Revisited:

There can be no doubt, therefore, that in spite of the complexity of the physical agencies involved, the Flood event provides an adequate explanation for the formation of the sedimentary strata in the geologic record attributed to it.  Furthermore, it would have been the catastrophic deposition of sediments that was the necessary condition for the rapid burial and fossilization of many animals and plants that had been living in the pre-Flood world. 

There can thus be no doubt that under such conditions during the Flood, as the torrential rains fell and the ocean waters surged to inundate the land surfaces, burial and fossilization of myriads of animals and plants en masse was guaranteed.  Whereas burial and fossilization of even a single animal or plant is an exceedingly rare happenstance, the abundance of fossils preserved in the geologic record, often in massive numbers in what have aptly been called fossil graveyards, is unmistakable, powerful testimony to the destructive effects of the watery cataclysm described in the Scriptures. [End of quote]

There are hundreds and hundreds of pages on GodSaidManSaid addressing Noah and the devastating global flood.  The information is truly Holy Ghost breathtaking.  The following bullet points are just a sampling:

⬥Marine fossils have been found at the peaks and near the summits of all the world’s mountains.  

⬥ Three-quarters of the earth’s crust consists of sedimentary rocks, which are formed almost entirely underwater.

⬥ The midwestern part of the United States, including Wisconsin and Texas, are famous in part for the colossal sand mines laid down by ocean waves.

⬥ Eighty whale skeletons have been unearthed in the Peruvian desert.

⬥ The famous Hell Creek formation, covering areas in three US states, is festooned with a strange grouping of fossilized creatures: dinosaurs, saw-toothed tigers, sea-going creatures of many stripes, and all were destroyed by a devastating flood.

⬥ New excavations in Bowman, North Dakota, USA—a landlocked state—are full of various sea-going creatures entangled with trees, flowers, various land-dwelling creatures, including dinosaurs. What’s most remarkable is that all of these creatures were transported together by a flood.  It’s a long trip from the ocean to North Dakota. 

⬥ In his book Dragons of the Deep, Carl Weiland writes the following concerning the Shoshone Mountain Reptile, a sea monster known as shonisaurus:

The location in which shonisaurus fossils came to light is interesting, too.  The Shoshone Mountains of Nevada are in the middle of the desert.  Yet 36 shonisaurus fossils were found together there, at an altitude of over 7,000 feet (2,134 m).  [End of quote]

Sea monsters in Nevada?

⬥ The magazine The Week ran the following headline in their May 20, 2022 issue: “The Sea Reptile that Could Eat a Giant Squid.”  The feature speaks of a tooth of this sea-going giant, ichthyosaur, which was found in the Swiss Alps. 

⬥ The marine fossil crinoid (a sea lily) was found embedded in limestone on top of Mount Everest. 

⬥ Robert Ballard, famous for the discovery of the Titanic, was being interviewed by ABC News and Christine Amanpour.  Ballard says:

“We went in [the Black Sea region] to look for the flood.”  Ballard continued: “Not just a slow moving, advancing rise of sea level, but a really big flood that then stayed. … The land that went under stayed under.”

Four hundred feet below the surface, they unearthed an ancient shoreline, proof to Ballard that a catastrophic event did happen in the Black Sea.  By carbon dating shells found along the shoreline, Ballard said he believes they have established a timeline for that catastrophic event, which he estimates happened around 5,000 BC.  Some experts believe this was around the time when Noah’s flood could have occurred.

“The earlier Mesopotamian stories are very similar where the gods are sending a flood to wipe out humans,” said Biblical archaeologist Eric Cline. “There’s one man they choose to survive.  He builds a boat, brings on animals, lands on a mountain, and lives happily ever after?  I would argue that it’s the same story.” [End of quote]

⬥ The headline in the July/August 2022 issue of Acts & Facts reads “Asia Data Confirms Progressive Global Flood.”  Excerpts follow:

The Institute for Creation Research’s Column Project Team recently finished a two-year study of Asia.  We have now accumulated column data across five of the world’s seven continents, with Australia in progress and Antarctica in the future.  Our results reinforce earlier findings of a progressive global Flood.

After examining the rock record across five continents, we can now be more assured than ever that there was a global Flood as described in Genesis.  The rocks don’t lie! [End of quote]

PS: They have just finished their research in Australia and again the results say YES! to Noah.

⬥ Skeptics routinely crow, “If Noah is real, where did all the water go?!” Columbiana University researchers report that ocean levels were once 400 feet lower than they are today.  Seems like the water didn’t go anywhere.

⬥ If the earth were as smooth as a ball, it is calculated that the waters would be nearly two miles above it. 

⬥ Geologists estimate three to five times the amount of water in the oceans resides deep inside the earth in a porous rock called Ringwoodite. 

⬥ A 25-foot fossilized baleen whale was found in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California.

💣 Feature #29: Noah III—Of Course, Yes!

 Genesis 6:8:

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

Dr. Roger Gallup, a highly credentialed geologist and marine scientist, authored the book Evolution—The Greatest Deception in Modern History.  Several excerpts addressing radioisotope dating follow:

Many people believe that radioisotope techniques (such methods as carbon-14, uranium-lead, potassium-argon, and rubidium-strontium) are generally in agreement and the earth is millions of years old.  However, the reality is these various techniques produce results that don’t agree with known dates or each other (discordant) and don’t agree with stratigraphic or fossil studies (discrepant).  The following are just a few examples:

Marlstone Rock Bed near Banbury, England, is considered to be a Jurassic limestone dated “189 million years old” according to ammonite and belemnite index fossils, but radiocarbon dating of wood found in the limestone dates 23,000 years.  Uniformitarians assume that limestone was slowly deposited over millions of years on a shallow, tranquil ocean floor—a place normally absent of fossil wood.  Factoring in the aging effect of depleted carbon by the flood, the radiocarbon date is consistent with fossils being buried with limestone 4,000 years ago.  Additionally, wood found in sandstone and volcanic rock supposedly many millions of years old, according to geologic time scale, provides radiocarbon ages of just thousands of years. 

Mt. Ngauruhoe of New Zealand erupted in 1949, 1954, and 1975, but potassium-argon dating ranges from 270,000 years to 3.5 million years, rubidium-strontium dating at 133 million years, samarium-neodymium at 197 million years, and lead-lead at 3,908 million years.  If these dating processes were accurate, these radioisotope ages should indicate recent eruptions with ages of less than 50 years. 

Mt. Hualalai of Hawaii is known to have erupted in 1800, but various radioisotope dating methods report ages between 140 million years and 2.96 billion years.  If the radioisotope dating processes were accurate, then the radioisotope age should be about 168 years (date of analysis minus 1800). 

Mt. St. Helens, Washington, erupted in 1980, but potassium-argon dating provides an age of about 2.8 million years.  If the dating processes were accurate, then the radioisotope age should be about 15 years (date of analysis in 1995 minus 1980).

A final excerpt from Gallop’s book on the subject of the age of the earth:

There are over 200 scientific geochronometers—that is, time clocks—that indicate that the earth, solar system, and universe are young. [End of quote]

Nuclear physicist V.R. Cupps addresses numerous problems with today’s radioactive dating.  A few excerpts from his book Rethinking Radiometric Dating follow:

Secular scientists make assumptions about the initial condition of parent and daughter isotopes, assume the decay rates have been constant, and then make hypotheses about the age of rocks.  Unfortunately, these theories have many problems, such as evidence that decay rates can be as much as a billion times faster. 

The headline in the article published in the May 2008 issue of Acts & Facts reads, "Mitochondrial DNA and a Recent Human Origin."  The bulk of the article follows:

A team of scientists that includes Dr. Daniel Criswell of ICR has recently completed a study of mitochondrial DNA and will be presenting its work at this summer’s International Conference on Creationism. The study has revealed an unexpected lack of diversity within worldwide human mitochondrial lineages, despite high mutation rates, and this supports the idea that humanity is only a few thousand years old.  [End of quotes] 

In the book The Puzzle of Ancient Man, author Dr. Chittick quotes Ann Gibbons as she wrote in the January 2, 1998 issue of Science.  The title of the Gibbons article is, "Calibrating the Mitochondrial Clock." 

Gibbons reports:

Regardless of the cause, evolutionists are most concerned about the effect of a faster mutation rate.  For example, researchers have calculated that "mitochondrial Eve" — the woman whose mtDNA was ancestral to that in all living people — lived 100,000 to 200,000 years ago in Africa.  Using the new clock, she would be a mere 6,000 years old.  [End of quote]

After 14+ billion years of evo-time, isn’t it a shock to you that today’s certified research shouts 6,000?  That’s just 0.000004% of proposed time!  How did all these great happenings that are being discovered all get clumped into such a short span of time, just 0.000004% of time?  When today’s research is presented unmassaged by evolution’s theories spawned in the deceivableness of unrighteousness, you will see young.  In the GodSaidManSaid series, “The 6,000s,” we list over 60 discoveries that all say YES to a young earth.   Several of those examples follow:

👍 The genetic diversity of man began 5,100 years ago. 
👍 Man’s “best brain” was 3,000 to 6,000 years ago.
👍 There was a global “mass extinction” event 5,000 years ago.
👍 The Chinese civilization, one of the world’s oldest, begins 4,000 years ago, as a result of a massive flood. 
👍 The world’s oldest known plague was 5,100 years ago.
👍 Pigeons were first domesticated 5,000 years ago.  
👍 Cats were first domesticated 6,000 years ago.
👍 Panda bears developed their taste for bamboo 5,000 years ago. 
👍 Horses were first domesticated 5,500 years ago.
👍 Chickens were first domesticated 4,000 years ago. .

The list is long. For billions of purported years, we see nothing, and then everything.

Carter and Lightner report in the spring 2016 issue of Creation Research Society Quarterly:

Evolutionists place a timeframe of when “Mitochondrial Eve” lived by assuming common ancestry between humans and chimps and the evolutionary timescale.  However, when measured mutation rates in mitochondrial DNA were used, “Eve” was calculated to have lived around 6,000 years ago. 

Both secular and creationist researchers have employed the empirical method of developing genetic clocks and have achieved similar outcomes—i.e., dates of creature origins well within the Biblical timeframe of 6,000 years.  This research has involved the genetic analysis of humans, fruit flies, water fleas, and roundworms. 

A massive new genetic study by secular scientists analyzed the DNA of over 100,000 animal species using about five million DNA sequences.  Researchers at the Rockefeller University and the University of Basel found that the amount of DNA variation among humans was about the same as that observed for each of the many animal species they studied.  They also discovered that each kind of creature was genetically distinct—having clear genetic boundaries. 

When the researchers extrapolated this data into the timeframes of origins, they discovered that about 90% of all animal life was roughly the same, very recent age—a complete contradiction of evolutionary expectations. 

Noah? OF COURSE!

💣 Feature #30: Ararat.  Not Africa.

Genesis 8:4:

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

Man’s science is in a constant state of flux, a constant state of self-contradictions and revisions.  His “truth” of yesterday is debunked by his “truth” of today and his “truth” of today will be debunked by his “truth” of tomorrow.  Contrast that reality with Hebrews 13:8:

Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.    

Is it Ararat, or is it Egypt?

All of mankind finds its root genetically and geographically in the three sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.  All of them landed with the Ark on the mountains of Ararat, which exist in Armenia and Turkey.  From the mountains of Ararat, they traveled to the land of Shinar where, in rebellion against God’s Word they built the Tower of Babel.  This area is located in modern day Iraq.  On the other hand, the world’s academics have taken up a different position.  According to them, all of mankind hails from the continent of Africa.  Today’s latest discoveries confirm the accuracy of the Holy Scriptures.

Evolution’s cheerleaders have quite reluctantly come to the conclusion that all humans on earth today come from just one common father and one common mother, just like the Bible says.  Scientists actually know these two as Y-Chromosome Adam and mtDNA Eve.  Popular consensus says that the earth’s people had their beginning in Africa, but Science News (June 24, 2017) says “not so fast.”  The feature headline reads, “Hominid Roots May Go Back to Europe.”  David Begun of the University of Toronto says:

“Europe is as likely a place of [hominid] origins, and even of the last common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans, as Africa.”  

The headline from Breaking Israel News, June 22, 2017 reads, “Mummy DNA May Prove Ancient Egyptians Descended from Son of Noah Exactly as Bible Describes.”  The subject line of that feature says, “DNA study of mummies indicates ancient Egyptians descended from Biblical Ham.”  A few paragraphs follow:

In a scientific first, DNA taken from Egyptian mummies has been decoded, producing unexpected results about the true origins of the Egyptian people.  These results confirm a controversial theory that traces the First Egyptian Dynasty back to Biblical Ham, as described in the Book of Genesis. 

Scientists have long been baffled by the origins of the Egyptian people.  Until now, there was no empirical data to clarify the issue.

This scientific belief long contradicted the Biblical account, which designates the forefather of Egypt as being Mizrayim, a son of Ham. 

A recent study of the DNA of mummies, led by Johannes Krause of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History, has shed some light on the subject, and his findings support the Biblical narrative. 

The researchers were able to collect 90 samples of mitochondrial DNA and three samples of genomes, the total of an organism’s DNA.  The surprising results showed that ancient Egyptians were more closely related to populations from the Near East and southwest Asia, and not from northern Africa as previously thought. 

This is in direct contradiction to the previous theory that the first Egyptian rulers and much of the population arrived by a land route from Africa. 

The Bible is the ultimate history book.

The following excerpts from the May 2008 feature from Acts & Facts called “Mitochondrial DNA and a Recent Human Origin:”

A team of scientists that includes Dr. Daniel Criswell of ICR has recently completed a study of mitochondrial DNA and will be presenting its work at this summer’s International Conference on Creationism.

Mitochondrial DNA has been used to develop several models of human origins.  The Recent African Origins hypothesis (RAO) is currently the most popular model for human evolution.  Although the RAO model has a number of significant technical problems and makes some assumptions that conflict with a biblical perspective, it contains several interesting tenets: 1) there was a single dispersal of mankind with three main mitochondrial lineages interspersed within clans [GSMS: Shem, Ham, Japheth]; 2) the dispersion was centered in the Middle East in the recent past; 3) the dispersion was essentially tribal in nature, with small groups pushing deeply into previously uninhabited territory.  [End of quote]

It was Ararat and not Africa, all the time, just like God said.  It will take a while for the world’s academics to catch up and to update their unbelief, just to find that we have been here the whole time.  It’s so beautiful.  God’s Word is true and righteous altogether, a place to build a life that will last forever. It is so beautiful. 

GOD SAID, Genesis 6:4:

There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

GOD SAID, Genesis 6:8:

But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD.

GOD SAID, Genesis 8:4:

And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

MAN SAID: I don’t need no Jesus or His Bible! I’m the master of my own life.  You want to know who I owe for this marvelous body and earth I live on? NOBODY! Everybody knows that! There was this big bang out of nothing and *boom* here I am…just a big accident living it up! 

 

Now you have THE RECORD.
