Is Genesis History? Page #5

And this training Schnebly Hill,

800-1,000 feet thick in an area of over 1,000 square miles ...

... it must have been formed very quickly.

If that took millions of years,

we should see millions of years of evidence ...

... of millions of years of erosion in the Grand Canyon ...

... in that same limit.

We not see it.

So that means that this training Schnebly Hill ...

... in this area it had to be formed in a matter of hours.

So tells you it is not only lack of erosion ...

... but there is no time between these limits.

So the whole layer sequence was deposited very quickly.

So we have this large expanse of layers.

We have a lack of erosion between the layers.

What other evidence do you see?

Well, if we look at carefully, by example,

Coconino Sandstone to, we stratification ...

... there are bands in which they are inclined.

We call cross-stratification.

What they indicate is that you had ...

... waves of sand under the water moved.

The comparison is a desert.

It is important to recognize that there is a difference ...

... in the corner on a dune in the desert.

It is usually from 30 to 34 degrees these inclined layers.

Under water, it is usually 25 degrees or less.

And Dr. John Whitmore has combed the hills ...

... about their students ...

... hundreds and hundreds of measurements of these cross stratifications ...

... and all are in the range of 15-25 degrees.

So it was a tank underwater.

And so these layers are accumulating in hours, weeks ...

... and in a few months, you have this whole lot ...

... layers of pancakes on such broad areas.

So the difference is not ...

... it is to believe in these layers that exist.

Not at all.

The difference is in time, right?

Right.

It is not a matter of science against the Bible.

When we are talking about the paradigm of the Flood ...

... and the conventional paradigm, we are actually talking about ...

... two different ways to see the history of the Earth.

These views are very different.

Of course, I thought being taught the conventional view ...

... with their long periods and slow and uniform changes.

But what is the history of the world according to Genesis?

Kurt Wise took me a fascinating place to another ...

... fossil evidence showing me forests,

explaining the rapid formation of coal ...

... and speaking of the complex design of biological systems.

Wherever we looked, he taught me something new ...

... about the Earth and its history.

We ended up at the entrance of an old abandoned coal mine.

This is what is ...

... Company Dayton Coal and Iron, built ...

... about 100-110 years ago.

What is surprising is that if you did not know that story ...

... and you looked at these rocks ...

... you think they are very old.

In fact, if we were in Greece you might think ...

... that they are thousands of years old.

It's hard to tell just by looking at the structure as such.

Well, Kurt, then I need you to do something ...

... because I know the conventional paradigm ...

... look at the history of the Earth as a straight line.

Many uniforms and other processes.

But the story of Genesis tells us ...

... that is not so uniform.

Yes, that's a good point.

In 2 Peter chapter 3 talks about people in the last days ...

... they would say, "Where is the promise of his coming is?"

"Ever since our fathers died in ...

... all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation ".

This concept of what you see in the present,

what is happening now,

what is happening in the creek down there,

what is happening everywhere on Earth ...

... it is the way it has always been.

It has always been throughout the history of Earth.

The passage continues,

"But they deliberately ...".

They are not only ignorant of these truths,

they are rejecting these truths by the way,

and lists Creation and the Flood.

These are events that apparently, according to the Bible,

are not as in the present.

And how great is that's what we see here.

That cliff is not really in place.

That cliff is about 1,000 feet higher.

He slid to where he is now.

That's a big rock.

It is immense. Huge.

Now, what kind of process in this ...

... slides down blocks as big as this?

This thing still by a mile.

But within these rocks there is more evidence of an event ...

... before that it is even bigger, even more different than the present.

And then you play within those there are fossils of a period of time ...

... which is very different to the present.

So according to the statements of Scripture ...

... and according to my own experience ...

... you can not use this to judge the past,

to understand the past.

But if you return to the beginning,

you will realize that the Bible presents ...

... what I would call times in the history of the Earth.

Got big periods of time?

Just different things going on ...

... for each of those times.

But if you live in any of those times never ...

... would understand the previous time, because they are very different.

The first is the creation itself.

In six days God created the whole universe.

He created the planets and the stars ...

... and he unfolded the Universe ...

... with his arm extended.

That obviously is not happening today.

He is not creating planets.

In fact, at the end of that passage,

He says he has finished his creative work.

Then we move to what I call the Edenic period,

the period of time that Adam and Eve are ...

...in the garden of Eden.

And it's very different than in the present.

That passage, for example, gives us the impression ...

... that if Adam and Eve had not sinned ...

... they would have lived forever ...

It is difficult to even conceive of humans living forever.

So it's a different world.

Completely different.

But how long it did? We do not know.

He ended suddenly ...

... when Adam and Eve ate from the tree ...

... the knowledge of good and evil ...

... And God cursed creation.

He changed the rules of the universe.

The sun no longer be able to shine forever.

We would no longer be able to live forever.

So it's hard for us to even imagine what that would be ...

... because we only see the laws that are present.

And we would not have come to that conclusion ...

... if we had the Word of God.

That's true.

And I think that that's what the Word of God ...

... we have been given.

And then we slid into the third period in time,

what I call the antediluvian period,

the period before the flood and after the fall of man.

It is a world that is different than the present.

They work the same natural laws,

but it is a different set of creatures,

a different set of plants.

It's a little warmer Earth.

The continents are in different positions ...

... of which they are now.

It is significantly different.

And that's what we see in Peter, where he talks about ...

... the world being destroyed.

So the Flood not only wet everything.

This was a really radical change, right?
