The floating forest theory Dr. Wise champions is incredibly intriguing and appears to have merit. We know the antediluvian world was wildly different from the post-Flood epoch; it seems highly likely this pre-Flood biome was entirely lost as a result of the cataclysm and offers an explanation for some of what we see in the fossil record. One thing is sure: the world desperately needs more out-of-the-box thinking with respect to human origins and to the fossil record, the box being evolutionism. Thank you, IGH, for your staunch profession of God and for the truth of His creative act in the first week to a world almost completely consumed by Darwinian thought. I am proud to stand alongside you.

[@slingslang2934]

Peat only accumulates in bogs & swamps though. Which is still kinda cool but it'd be just like draining a resorvior & planting trees. And we can stray away from evolution but theres no reason to abandon it, It checks out hundreds of ways

[@profoundgreetingsfromneptune]

@@slingslang2934 For example?

[@slingslang2934]

@Atheist Deprogramming thanks. most if not all the questions like that are just exploiting what we don't know about our origin though. It doesn't defuse any of the evidences brought forth. Life was & can still be self replicating/hermaphrodite though, I would assume (for whatever reason??) some genes or organisms ended up with male predominant or female dominant roles

[@slingslang2934]

@Atheist Deprogramming Theres quite a few. Though for as to why winged animals like birds, bats & pterosaurs are examples of convergent evolution is, They're not closely related, they don't share much anatomy, & they have different genes for their wings. there are many other examples of vestigial organs too. maybe our coccyx & fingernails still have purposes though not the original purpose. Some other examples are manatee hips, older fossils like the pezosiren had legs as well to correlate. Some manatee species lost their nails as well. All said, them being mammals & being related to mammals makes sense. there's also horses which have vestigial toe bones, nudibranchs with vestigial shells which they abandon, squids & some octopus that also have what's left of a shell. Cetaceans still have hips too, & snakes & legless lizards have vestigial leg bones. Theres fossil evidence for these too, though nudibranchs are simply a family of mollusks that quickly abandon the shell. And legs/nubs on some legless lizards is pretty much enough evidence that they've changed. so why lose these organs if their useful? Most likely the answer is their not useful, so not used. For instance legless lizards, snakes, whales, & manatees all move around with their body & tail, they don't move using their limbs, or atleast their hindlimbs (which they don't have) :(

[@slingslang2934]

@Atheist Deprogramming radiometric dates can be accurate too actually. and any errors should be easily identifiable. unfortunately information on the matter found on creationist forums cant be trusted though. Many times people have dated should be depleted carbon items & show that carbon isotopes still exist, though alpha particles from other atoms will still exist therfor the impression of carbon isotopes. random mutations don't sound that gretto by the sound of it. uh i forget, but our genes are aslo regulated in ways where our body can even read our dna differently, & genes which are used are more likely expressed. Its called epigenetics i guess apparently

I am a born again believer. Believe Genesis is literal, believe in the flood. But since I started watching these videos in this series one question keeps creeping into my mind. All these fossils, creatures, plants... where are the buried human bodies? It is not a damage to my faith. Not questioning the truthfulness of the Bible. Not questioning God, but I have never heard any mention of such. Are these the strange "pre-modern man" humanoids that are found? All the water, mud, pressure, etc., change human bodies as well?

[@IsGenesisHistory]

It's not just humans that are missing from the Flood-derived fossil record. Most mammals, birds and flowering plants are absent as well. These organisms seem to represent an ecological community that existed before the Flood, but was not preserved in the fossil record like the communities inhabited by dinosaurs or trilobites. One suggestion as to why this is so is that these organisms were living near a subduction zone (where the ocean floor plunges into the Earth's interior) that became activated during the Flood and were completely destroyed. Another possibility advocated by some creation scientists is that the streams that watered the region around Eden (Genesis 2:6,10) might have been fed by one of the "fountains of the great deep" which broke open during the Flood. If the mammals, birds and humans were living near this region, then the break-up of this spring may have resulted in their total destruction. The precise reason for the absence of this human/mammal/flowering plant community from the Flood fossil record awaits further insights from future research.

[@GioGuitarDude]

Habitat, population and intelligence play big roles also. 5000 years ago (before the flood), the global human population was only about 40 million people. In Genesis during the creation, the whole earth was populated with animals, but only 2 humans were present. Humans are smarter than any other organism, so they would have climbed hills and mountains before drowning while less intelligent creatures would have been engulfed and buried sooner. Birds have hollow bones and fly, so naturally they would be found towards the top also.

[@Chris-hj1qs]

Just a theory but small mammals and human sized creatures are great fish food. Not plants or large creatures. I assume the fish did not die in the flood since there are not referenced of being on the ark and are still in existence.

[@freemind..]

J B - *Though the Flood was Global, the conditions for actual fossilization were not.* Fossilization requires high temperatures, high pressures, and supersaturated water. That *very specific environment* only existed in *various locations,* and for *limited time-periods.* Only a tiny percentage of creatures were actually fossilized, and most of those were caught in the early stages of the Flood. The bulk of the floodwater came *from inside the Earth,* and *so did most of the sediments* that they are found buried in, which is why the *vast majority of fossils are marine fossils.* Animals occupying lowlands would have been caught next if they didn't (or couldn't) make it to higher ground. Those creatures either living at *higher altitudes* or scrambling to *higher ground* to survive would have been among the last to die and least likely to be fossilized. *Humans being intelligent and resourceful* would have mostly made it to high ground and though dying anyway, would have been much *less likely to be fossilized* in hydro-thermal, high-pressure water *at the bottom of the Floodwaters thousands of feet below.* *Fossilized animals* have been found at Clovis (pre-flood people) sites. Not only are they fossilized, but some have the *Clovis Point arrowheads and spearheads still embedded in them.* Since virtually all lithified fossils were *created during the Flood* (because that is literally the ONLY time in Earth's history that the conditions for organic lithification were extant), we can know that *these pre-flood animals were hunted and wounded or killed by the pre-flood Clovis People.* There most likely are actual human fossils that have *yet to be discovered.* Nobody thinks we have found ALL of the fossils that exist in the Earth. *One must wonder, if such human fossils were to be found.. would we be told?* Or would they be hidden away and denied like the many fossils of giant humans that have been unearthed over the last 2 centuries.

I just love your work and can't get enough of it. I'm not arguing but rather just bringing up a perspective.

Hi just a question ,Do we know if the water was fresh or saline

[@IsGenesisHistory]

Thanks for your question @robertmartin1658, The waters God used to flood the earth in the days of Noah were largely the same waters that covered the earth before God created dry land on Day 3 (2 Peter 3:5-6). This was when God raised the land, and the covering waters were gathered to form the seas. The waters receding from the newly formed landmasses would have caused lots of erosion, which in turn also carried salts into the ocean along with them. Since the water in the pre-Flood ocean was the same water that flooded the earth in Noah's time, it is fairly safe to assume that the Flood was primarily saltwater.

I'm not a flood catastrophist, but I really appreciate this new model of why we find a specific order in the fossil record. It's the norm in science that new paradigms come from outside the consensus. I'd have two questions: (1) Does this floating bogs theory fill a hole in the earlier Flood geology models? (2) Dr. Wise suggested that 95% of the time, there's no correlation between the type of animal & the layer it's in. Does this mean that fossil hunters are frequently finding, say, bison fossils in the Jurassic period? (That's, of course, just one example.)

Let’s ignore all the blatantly false assertions made in in this movies and abstruse theories. But how do you explain the tens of thousands of Marine species hat went extinct and we find as fossils in deep sea sediments? Did marine organisms drown in the great flood?

[@IsGenesisHistory]

The Flood was not simply bad weather and a monotonic rise in global sea level. For one thing, Genesis 7:11 records two mechanisms responsible for causing the Flood: torrential rain and water surging from the breaking up of "all the fountains" of the "great deep". The "breaking up" implies large-scale volcanic and tectonic activity. Untold numbers of marine lifeforms perished and were subsequently buried during the Flood due to side effects of catastrophic movements of the earth's tectonic plates. These would have included earthquakes, tsunami-like waves, and underwater landslides. Please check out our video featuring geologist Steve Austin, who has done considerable research on a marine fossil site in the Grand Canyon region made up of nautiloids (an extinct squid-like animal). kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGK0lXSegs2pp7c This interview with Marcus Ross may also be of interest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKianZ59g76Spqc

I have a fish fossil collection from the mountains of Lebanon where I lived. According to the book I have with it, they probably died in a ocean area with lack of oxygen around 100 million years ago. Were then covered with sand and were pushed up when the continents met and created the two rows of Mount Lebanon with the Bekaa Valley in between. Logical? Or would the global flood provide a better explanation? And if the global flood was truly global and cover the whole earth, where did all the water come from?

[@johnruby1363]

70% of the earth is covered with water and National Geo reckons, if Polar ice melts, the sea levels will rise by 215 feet. ----- But.. much of the ocean water is contained in valleys (ocean trenches) which are as deep as the mountains are high. ----- *Psalms 104:5-10* _He set the earth on its foundations; it can never be moved. You covered it with the watery depths as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. But at your rebuke the waters fled, at the sound of your thunder they took to flight; they flowed over the mountains, they_ *went down into the valleys,* _to the place you assigned for them. You set a boundary they cannot cross; never again will they cover the earth. He makes springs pour_ *water into the ravines; it flows between the mountains.* AND before the Flood, the geography was a lot different.

I'm not sure if I'm understanding your question correctly, but I don't think that Dr. Kurt was implying that these potential "floating forests" was the only type of "land" that existed prior to the flood (if you can even call this type of "floating forest" land...?). But this was only one potential biome that existed in the pre-flood era. There would still have been other land masses / continents (or perhaps one large continent that later separated into many continents during the time of the flood or shortly after...) Some creationists propose that there was a massive change happening in terms of tectonic plates shifting and moving and rising to form mountains and sinking to form deep parts of the ocean during the time of the flood. In fact, I have heard on other videos similar to this one that if the mountains were not raised up and the oceans did not have deep trenches, then there could EASILY be enough water to flood the WHOLE Earth. Perhaps the tectonic plates shifting to form deep ocean basins and various continents and mountains on the continents was part of the means through which the flood waters began to subside... I don't know... just a theory.... hope that helps...

[@dgrewar]

He has no biblical evidence for a young earth theory....God created the universe and the earth way back in eternity past.... before God made man.

[@dgrewar]

I have a point of divergence from this young earth theory. Starting in Genesis 1:1 the Hebrew Bible is beautiful in language. At one time when the Jews were taken into Babylonian captivity, most of the Jews quit using Hebrew and began to speak Greek. By the time Jesus came along they were all speaking Greek. When Jesus quoted the Bible He almost always quoted the Greek Septugent. The apostle Paul said that he was a Hebrew of Hebrews, one of the few who could speak Hebrew. A Hebrew congregation is called a Synagogue, which is a Greek word. When the Jews were taken down to Babylon they learned to speak Greek and studied the Greek Septugent which is the a translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek. (Around 300BC). The Septugent is not by any means a perfect translation. While the Jews were in Babylonian captivity, they were infected with Babylonian concepts of creation, where God created chaos and out of chaos He created order. So when the Jews translated the Hebrew Bible into the Greek Septugent, they incorporated their Babylonian idea of creation. In the Hebrew Bible, Genesis 1:1 the word "beginning and Heaven" are plural, but in the Greek Septugent and the KJV they are singular. The Hebrew word Bara is third person, masculine, singular and perfect tense. Third person is "He" masculine, singular...so in the first verse of the Hebrew Bible we know there is only one God. Now for the Jews there's a problem, the word is perfect tense....it's finished. God didn't begin to create the heavens and the earth, it's done. And that's where they get the Idea of evolution from, saying He began to create the heavens and the earth. Now the king James used the same idea because it was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was translated from the Greek Septugent, which is why we have all these problems with the young earth theory. God created perfection, God is a creator of perfection. When God created the Angels and Spirits, He created them perfect. But a third of all the Angels and Spirits became imperfect because of their own volition. So inBeginnings בְּרֵאשִׁית (in one of the beginning) created בָּרָא (brought to the final order, Elohim אֱלֹהִים thats God. The word Elohim is plural, (three or more). Now there aren't three God's because God is triune, like us, we are made in His image, body, soul and spirit. God made us in His shadow casting likeness, blood flowing likeness and spiritual likeness, in God's image, in the image of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We will only see one triune God in eternity. Colossians and Hebrews tells us that God created the heavens and the earth, that God spoke creation into existence. The אֵת whole universe הַשָּׁמַיִם and וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ earth (the dry land as opposed to wet ground) And this is what the Hebrew Bible really sais in Genesis 1:1. You can either accept what the Bible says historically or you don't. God inspired the Bible in the Hebrew and Greek languages and it is God breathed. But the problem with most of the religious world today is that they believe the King James version is inspired, or that the American Standard version is inspired, or the New International Version is inspired, or that the Living Translation is inspired, or that the Amplified Bible version is inspired. The Bible is only inspired in its original languages and if you really want to know what the Bible says, don't just take some translator's word for it, go to the original inspired texts in the languages the Bible was inspired in. The Hebrew Bible is inspired by God Himself, but the Greek Septugent that Jesus used in His time, was a translation of the Hebrew Bible, so it's not perfect. Many times Jesus corrected the translation of the Greek Septugent. The Holy Word of God is the Bible in the original Hebrew text. Many of the translations we read today are not translations, but interpretations. Translations and interpretations are two different things. The Catholic church (Jerome) took the Hebrew and Greek, Scriptures and translated then into Latin then from 400AD to 800AD persecuted anyone who had in their possession Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. Only wealthy educated officials, doctors and lawyers who read Latin could afford Jerome's Latin translation of the Bible. Because of violent Catholic State/Church persecution, it became a requirement that Baptist preachers memorise all 150 Psalms in Hebrew and the four Gospels in Greek. The psalms are full of prophesy. Psalm 23 and John 10:1, "I am the good shepherd". Satan has done everything he could, to destroy every copy of the inspired Word of God. He even had the Textus Recepus made, which is a translation from Greek and Hebrew into Latin and then back into Greek, and there's some loss there. Sadly many people accept the Textus Recepus as the bonafide received inspired word from God. The 1611 King James translation is a very biased translation, because it was translated by King James for the state church of England. If anyone dared protest inaccuracies in the translation, they would die a gruesome death, burnt at the stake. So many Christians were burned at the stake that they ran out of fire wood and the Baptist's were blamed for the shortage. Despite these atrocities many churches and private schools are still King James only, believing that the 1611 king James translation is the inspired word of God. And the same goes for the young earth theory which has no biblical foundation. KJV Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth א בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ. Verse 1 - Literally translated א בְּרֵאשִׁית. InBeginnings It is one word in the original language which is why it's joined together. There is no definite article. The original language has a definite article but Moses did not use it. The word for beginnings is an old plural. The Idea - at some point in the beginnings, one of the beginnings, we don't know which, but a beginning out of all of them. בָּרָא Created The verb comes before the subject and would be better translated as "had created" The form of the verb is perfect tense, meaning completed, done, brought to perfection. In the first verse of Genesis we have the earth existing in a finished starte. Dinosaurs, vegetation and life we cannot imagine existing already. The earth was in a complete state. KJV Genesis 1:2 and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. ב וְהָאָרֶץ, הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ, וְחֹשֶׁךְ, עַל-פְּנֵי תְהוֹם; וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים, מְרַחֶפֶת עַל-פְּנֵי הַמָּיִם (Does God have a Spirt? No, "God is Spirt" John 4:24)

so, with science the order or sequence would be 1.sea creatures 2. flying creatures (pterosaur etc.) 3. land animals 4. humans and the biblical order of creation in the bible is the same except that on the 5th day God created sea creatures and birds in the modern translations but the Hebrew uses the word "oph" and that pertains to flying creatures like pterosaur or mosquitoes or birds (plural) So before science gave us this order from their findings the bible already told us the sequence. And birds came from the land animals.

Fossils are different in different layer of sediment. So no one flood could not have made all the fossils. The process of bone to fossil takes a long. Day is not the same as 24 hours, not in the past and not today. The earth is not about 6,000 years old and the Bible does not teach this. Hebrews 4:9-10: "There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from their works, just as God did from his." This tells us that the 7th day Each believer are to enter into day 7. Also there no "evening and morning" for the 7th day. As day 7 as not ended. Biblical Hebrew has a limited vocabulary, with fewer words compared to other languages, such as English or Spanish. This means words often have multiple meanings determined by context. Day - yom is commonly rendered as day in English translations, but the word yom can be used in different ways to refer to different time spans thus literally is: Sunrise to sunset Sunset to next sunset Time period of unspecified length. (long time span ). We use the word day the same today: In my grandfather’s day cars did not go very fast. I work the day shift. (Both are not 24 hours) Deuteronomy 33:15 and Habakkuk 3:6 "ancient mountains". Gen 2:4 “in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens” referring to the whole time of the six days, The events of day 6 can not have happened in 24 hours. Creationism does not equal young Earth. There are many Old Earth creationists.

the if flood killed all no human skeleton is seen in fossil why?

[@KenJackson_US]

That's a good question, Benny. But surely as the waters rose, all humans would have headed for the highest ground or gotten into every boat and ship available. I also wonder if they really haven't been found. I suspect that if a paleontologist or archaeologist finds a human fossil, they'll assume the column has been contaminated and abandon it because they think they _know_ that humans "evolved" much "later".

[@freemind..]

BENNY JOSEPH - *Though the Flood was Global, the conditions for actual fossilization were not.* Fossilization requires high temperatures, high pressures, and supersaturated water. That *very specific environment* only existed in *various locations,* and for *limited time-periods.* Only a tiny percentage of creatures were actually fossilized, and most of those were caught in the early stages of the Flood. The bulk of the floodwater came *from inside the Earth,* and *so did most of the sediments* that they are found buried in, which is why the *vast majority of fossils are marine fossils.* Animals occupying lowlands would have been caught next if they didn't (or couldn't) make it to higher ground. Those creatures either living at *higher altitudes* or scrambling to *higher ground* to survive would have been among the last to die and least likely to be fossilized. *Humans being intelligent and resourceful* would have mostly made it to high ground and though dying anyway, would have been much *less likely to be fossilized* in hydro-thermal, high-pressure water *at the bottom of the Floodwaters thousands of feet below.* *Fossilized animals* have been found at Clovis (pre-flood people) sites. Not only are they fossilized, but some have the *Clovis Point arrowheads and spearheads still embedded in them.* Since virtually all lithified fossils were *created during the Flood* (because that is literally the ONLY time in Earth's history that the conditions for organic lithification were extant), we can know that *these pre-flood animals were hunted and wounded or killed by the pre-flood Clovis People.* There most likely are actual human fossils that have *yet to be discovered.* Nobody thinks we have found ALL of the fossils that exist in the Earth. *One must wonder, if such human fossils were to be found.. would we be told?* Or would they be hidden away and denied like the many fossils of giant humans that have been unearthed over the last 2 centuries. Perhaps some HAVE been discovered..?

Those are actually really cool thanks. Though I must say that unless cornerned in a Grove then enough material to form a platform for vegetation wouldnt be reached to form an island.

[@slingslang2934]

Yeah the grand canyon wouldve been part of the Western Interior seaway. Which can explain the marine fossils, limestone & shale layers. And yeah the upthrust of the grand canyon making it 6000ft in elevation is from two continents colliding and forming the rocky mountains, similar to how other mountain ranges are formed. The grand canyon is about a mile deep too so yeah that area must have collected a TON of sediment even though about nearly half of the 4 billion years of earth was scraped away in that area

[@speakingscripts]

In other words, the reason fish-o-pods (low lying amphibians who must have dry land that floats on water) were not included in Noah's ark is because God already knew that such habitats wouldn't exist after the flood. Wow! Noah must've truly been horrified to see the world that was left over. He probably had an inkling by what he saw board the ark and what didn't. Life is tragic in it's beauty.

I was so proud when I lived in Japan to inform those people over there that they actually descended from Noah and his three sons. They asked me how that could be since they don't look like people from the Middle East. I told them that people spread out from the area around Mt. Ararat and then changed over time. You mean like evolution, they asked? Oh no, of course not, evolution is a demonic concept, I told them. People just changed into all the races of the world that we see today because God said so and to ask such questions may anger the almighty god of the western bible. But then they asked if it wasn't the case that the Bible has all the answers to every question. Why yes it does if only you ask the right questions and believe in your heart that Donald J. Trump is the anointed leader of the world. That he knows everything about every subject under the sun, that he is the greatest person to ever live except maybe for Jesus himself, and that we must all follow and obey him.

Here's my point of divergence on young earth theory. Starting in Genesis 1:1 the Hebrew Bible is beautiful in language. At one time when the Jews were taken into Babylonian captivity, most of the Jews quit using Hebrew and began to speak Greek. By the time Jesus came along they were all speaking Greek. When Jesus quoted the Bible He almost always quoted the Greek Septugent. The apostle Paul said that he was a Hebrew of Hebrews, one of the few who could speak Hebrew. A Hebrew congregation is called a Synagogue, which is a Greek word. When the Jews were taken down to Babylon they learned to speak Greek and studied the Greek Septugent which is the a translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek. (Around 300BC). The Septugent is not by any means a perfect translation. While the Jews were in Babylonian captivity, they were infected with Babylonian concepts of creation, where God created chaos and out of chaos He created order. So when the Jews translated the Hebrew Bible into the Greek Septugent, they incorporated their Babylonian idea of creation. In the Hebrew Bible, Genesis 1:1 the word "beginning and Heaven" are plural, but in the Greek Septugent and the KJV they are singular. The Hebrew word Bara is third person, masculine, singular and perfect tense. Third person is "He" masculine, singular...so in the first verse of the Hebrew Bible we know there is only one God. Now for the Jews there's a problem, the word is perfect tense....it's finished. God didn't begin to create the heavens and the earth, it's done. And that's where they get the Idea of evolution from, saying He began to create the heavens and the earth. Now the king James used the same idea because it was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was translated from the Greek Septugent, which is why we have all these problems with the young earth theory. God created perfection, God is a creator of perfection. When God created the Angels and Spirits, He created them perfect. But a third of all the Angels and Spirits became imperfect because of their own volition. So inBeginnings בְּרֵאשִׁית (in one of the beginning) created בָּרָא (brought to the final order, Elohim אֱלֹהִים thats God. The word Elohim is plural, (three or more). Now there aren't three God's because God is triune, like us, we are made in His image, body, soul and spirit. God made us in His shadow casting likeness, blood flowing likeness and spiritual likeness, in God's image, in the image of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. We will only see one triune God in eternity. Colossians and Hebrews tells us that God created the heavens and the earth, that God spoke creation into existence. The אֵת whole universe הַשָּׁמַיִם and וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ earth (the dry land as opposed to wet ground) And this is what the Hebrew Bible really sais in Genesis 1:1. You can either accept what the Bible says historically or you don't. God inspired the Bible in the Hebrew and Greek languages and it is God breathed. But the problem with most of the religious world today is that they believe the King James version is inspired, or that the American Standard version is inspired, or the New International Version is inspired, or that the Living Translation is inspired, or that the Amplified Bible version is inspired. The Bible is only inspired in its original languages and if you really want to know what the Bible says, don't just take some translator's word for it, go to the original inspired texts in the languages the Bible was inspired in. The Hebrew Bible is inspired by God Himself, but the Greek Septugent that Jesus used in His time, was a translation of the Hebrew Bible, so it's not perfect. Many times Jesus corrected the translation of the Greek Septugent. The Holy Word of God is the Bible in the original Hebrew text. Many of the translations we read today are not translations, but interpretations. Translations and interpretations are two different things. The Catholic church (Jerome) took the Hebrew and Greek, Scriptures and translated then into Latin then from 400AD to 800AD persecuted anyone who had in their possession Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. Only wealthy educated officials, doctors and lawyers who read Latin could afford Jerome's Latin translation of the Bible. Because of violent Catholic State/Church persecution, it became a requirement that Baptist preachers memorise all 150 Psalms in Hebrew and the four Gospels in Greek. The psalms are full of prophesy. Psalm 23 and John 10:1, "I am the good shepherd". Satan has done everything he could, to destroy every copy of the inspired Word of God. He even had the Textus Recepus made, which is a translation from Greek and Hebrew into Latin and then back into Greek, and there's some loss there. Sadly many people accept the Textus Recepus as the bonafide received inspired word from God. The 1611 King James translation is a very biased translation, because it was translated by King James for the state church of England. If anyone dared protest inaccuracies in the translation, they would die a gruesome death, burnt at the stake. So many Christians were burned at the stake that they ran out of fire wood and the Baptist's were blamed for the shortage. Despite these atrocities many churches and private schools are still King James only, believing that the 1611 king James translation is the inspired word of God. And the same goes for the young earth theory which has no biblical foundation. KJV Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth א בְּרֵאשִׁית, בָּרָא אֱלֹהִים, אֵת הַשָּׁמַיִם, וְאֵת הָאָרֶץ. Verse 1 - Literally translated א בְּרֵאשִׁית. InBeginnings It is one word in the original language which is why it's joined together. There is no definite article. The original language has a definite article but Moses did not use it. The word for beginnings is an old plural. The Idea - at some point in the beginnings, one of the beginnings, we don't know which, but a beginning out of all of them. בָּרָא Created The verb comes before the subject and would be better translated as "had created" The form of the verb is perfect tense, meaning completed, done, brought to perfection. In the first verse of Genesis we have the earth existing in a finished starte. Dinosaurs, vegetation and life we cannot imagine existing already. The earth was in a complete state. KJV Genesis 1:2 and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. ב וְהָאָרֶץ, הָיְתָה תֹהוּ וָבֹהוּ, וְחֹשֶׁךְ, עַל-פְּנֵי תְהוֹם; וְרוּחַ אֱלֹהִים, מְרַחֶפֶת עַל-פְּנֵי הַמָּיִם (Does God have a Spirt?
