Is Genesis History? Page #12

We believe that creation has only thousands of years old,

say 6,000 or 7,000 years something.

And I just get noticed something ...

... we think it is 2 million years away.

I think those distances are reasonably accurate ...

... and creationists need to answer this question ...

... and we have offered several different solutions to it.

I will discuss with you my solution to this.

Several things catch my eye in the narrative of creation.

One, many processes were happening,

very fast processes, but still processes.

If you look at the third day of narrative,

talks about Earth sprouting plants.

He says that the earth produces these plants and the Earth produced.

I think if you had been there,

It would have looked like a film in fast motion.

Growth that would normally take decades,

taking place in a matter of minutes and hours at most.

normal growth of abnormally fast.

I think you can play on day one of creation ...

... in terms of another day.

So I turn to the story of the fourth day.

There is not much information is given ...

... but I believe God made the stars also quickly ...

... and other astronomical bodies and then to ...

... they could fulfill their role of being seen,

He quickly had to bring that light.

Just as He brought plants and matured quickly,

He had to bring light here.

I am suggesting that these objects really look ...

... as the Andromeda galaxy we saw a few minutes ago,

We are looking at the light that actually came out of that object.

So I think that rapid maturation took place.

Danny, are there any other things you see ...

... you indicate a young universe?

I think so.

For example, spiral galaxies, Andromeda Galaxy which ...

... we talked about, is a spiral galaxy.

Ours is too.

And inside galaxies should rotate faster ...

... that the outside of the galaxy.

So after a few rotations finish ...

... undoing those spiral patterns.

They must disappear after a few rotations.

Now, most astronomers think that spiral galaxies have ...

... 10 billion years old,

So why do we see spiral patterns yet?

we should not see them,

and it has long recognized this problem.

But if we see the outer planets of the solar system,

gas giants, all have rings.

And we also know that they are changing.

It's extinguish.

They have documented changes that have happened within the ring system.

You have all these gravitational pulls ...

... other orbiting satellites.

So these ring systems are quite young.

This does not prove that the solar system is young ...

... but it proves that the ring systems are young ...

... and that's interesting.

Well, you mentioned many theories ...

... on spirals and others,

And that brings us to what most people see ...

... as the great theory of cosmology and the universe, the Big Bang.

How do you see this?

Are you survive the passage of time?

I do not think so.

I think he's having a lot of problems to the point that ...

... more than twelve years ago ...

... I think it was in New Scientist Magazine that there was ...

... an open letter protesting the Big Bang theory ...

... and since then has hundreds of signatures.

And most people who signed were atheistic,

they are not even creationists.

So this idea that the Big Bang model ...

... is universally accepted is not true.

There are many people out there, acquaintances,

physical and very famous astronomers ...

... they have real problems with the Big Bang.

And I find no way you can reconcile ...

... the Big Bang to the Bible,

although many people seem to think you can do it.

I think the temptation is to try to have ...

... interpret Scripture in terms ...

... the current cosmological thinking.

Thats nothing new.

That has happened before, and has had disastrous results.

So I think when you see the history of science,

the way we have discarded theories over time,

We've had theories that were supposedly beyond any discussion ...

... and then they were discarded.

When you see that lesson in history ...

... and then you want to join Genesis,

you want to interpret Genesis in terms of the most popular paradigm,

I think you should be very careful.

I realized that Danny was refocusing our perspective.

We need to interpret the Universe ...

... in terms of Genesis, not the reverse.

And Genesis tells us that God created the sun, moon, and stars ...

... to be a magnificent clock that records the passage of time.

Even the ancient towers built to follow the stars.

But what Genesis tells us about these people ...

... and the languages they spoke?

Doug took me one of the best archaeological museums ...

... in the world to show some of the unique artifacts ...

... that they relate to Genesis.

Bible events unfold ...

... in the ancient Near East.

So all these lands are extremely important ...

... to understand how and what took place in the biblical text.

So this continues the events we have been seeing ...

... Genesis of Creation and the Flood ...

... and we are now in the dispersion of mankind ...

... arising from Noah and his family.

Exactly.

And the dispersion would have happened ...

... somewhere in the mountains northwest of Mesopotamia ...

... and what we see in the narrative of the biblical text ...

... it is that a number of people have migrated to southern Mesopotamia,

to the land of Shinar,

and they set out to urbanize, to live in cities.

And that's the famous Tower of Babel.

Absolutely.

Do we know where is this place?

There are about seven or eight Babels,

cities of Babel, in ancient Mesopotamia areas.

So I studied each of these areas ...

... and I have found only one that meets all the criteria ...

... the famous monument of the Tower of Babel and Eridu,

which is in southeastern Mesopotamia.

We signals expansion north, south,

east, west, all the way to Egypt.

And when you say evidence, does that refers to artifacts ...

... we found in archaeological excavations?

Exactly.

There is a huge amount of material culture ...

... very specific that attest to this expansion of people ...

... I'm connecting with the dispersion after Babel.

Here are the bowls bevelled edges, these two,

Riemchen brick that we see up there ...

... and those two jars with nozzle.

All these diagnostic forms of ceramics and material culture,

They are found throughout the Middle East.

The Bible describes an event that is not only the confusion of language ...

... but the scattering of people away from the city,

because we see the language or the written language expression ...

... appear out of nowhere and then different languages ...

... being represented by cuneiform ...

... or through hieroglyphic writings or other means.

So you do not have a universal plan that is followed in all languages.

You can see a great diversity in the form of grammar ...

... from language to language even among ancient languages.

It seems then that the event recorded in Genesis ...

... about the Tower of Babel,
