Noah's Ark

I, in no way, can write as eloquent as the ones that have posted in the past, but I will throw in my two cents worth any way.Bear in mind that I do not have a science degree nor am I a scientist. I am just someone who believes the word of God.Many people have wondered and speculated over the issue of the extinction of the dinosaurs. Today there are many dig sites around the world, and if you go to any one of these sites and ask any of the archeologists how the dinosaurs died out, they will tell you, without flinching, that they all died from drowning. These are not Christian scientist, mind you, but secular.The Bible states in Genesis 7:10-12; vs.10- And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth. vs11- In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of Heaven were opened. vs. 12- and the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.I once heard it explained; that when the floods of the deep opened up is when the splitting of the continents happened, and that is why all mountain ranges run north to south and not east and west.Also, They have found fish at the top of some mountain ranges in the Asian territories. The only way that these fish could have made it up there is that at one point or another the tops were covered with water. Also, the Grand Canyon for many years was believed to have been carved out by the Colorado river, when in fact, secular, not Christian, scientists say that could never had happened. The Grand Canyon was produced by a massive retraction of water, The Flood.Take this with a grain of salt if you will. But sometimes all it takes is a little faith.[This message has been edited by vangogh, 01-14-2003]

yes there is.....this site belongs to a Dr. Ron Carlson. One of the leading scientist that can explain creation and the flood theory, alot better than I. He speaks across the globe on this issue at major universities and conferences. There is a link to the Evolution vs. Creationism section. It is well worth the read.

I've been reading all of this and find it quite interesting. Science, indeed, is remarkable. Without science, much of what we see and do today would not be possible. I for one will stand and applaud science and it's scientists, though I am not a scientist or have never studied it.BUT....... some things can not be explained, even scientifically. Sometimes it takes us just believing and having faith. I'm going to use the ole "you have to have faith to sit in that chair" bit, but it rings truer than most things. Your argument would probably be..."I can see the chair, so I can believe that the chair will hold me up when I sit in it." True, you can see the chair, but you can not see the maker. You see the evidence of the maker by looking at the chair, but never see the maker, or what kind of wood he used, or was it sloppily (if that is a word) put together, or did he take painstakingly steps to insure it's durability? You will have no idea before you sit in it for the first time.We look around us and see this vast expanse and this incredibly beautiful creation we call earth. And we see all this wonder and try to explain it with just a few words and a diploma that says "we know the secrets, but give us time to explain it." That's all well and good, but it sometimes doesn't work that way. God SPOKE all this into existance, and yes, He can do things that we will NEVER be able to explain. Including the flood. You can choose to believe or not to believe, but I for one believe.
