Creation "Days"Ancient Tree Answers Challenge To Genesis One
4/1/1999 Secularists have openly and vociferously mocked the biblical creation account for placing the origin of "trees, seed, and fruit" as early as the third creation day. Biblical apologists point out that the ancient Hebrew words for "tree," "seed," and "fruit" are more broadly defined than we English readers assume as we study our translations.1 Closing The Gap: A Scientist’s Response To The Gap Theory
1/1/2001 Reviewed by John Rea The work of an apologist in some ways parallels the work of a scientist. Both seek to “prove” (as in “establish by testing”) the truth of their explanation for something and, thus, to defend their idea against challenges. Creating Creationism: Meanings and Usage Since the Age of Agassiz, Part 1
4/1/1995 Despite a few helpful attempts to trace the development of vocabulary in the public discourse about Darwinism, no one has yet looked closely at the deployment of the terms "creationism" and "creationist" in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Creating Creationism: Meanings and Usage Since the Age of Agassiz, Part 2
4/1/1995 To compound the confusion about special creation [Was it a recent, six-day phenomenon, an ancient day-age phenomenon, or a dual phenomenon with a gap between "the beginning" and Eden?], its most vocal scientific proponents disagreed markedly over the number of supernatural interventions required. Creating Creationism: Meanings and Usage Since the Age of Agassiz, Part 3
4/1/1995 Such efforts (as "flood geologist" Dudley Joseph Whitney's) to co-opt the creationist label did not go uncontested for long, in part because evangelical scientists who did not subscribe to flood geology could ill afford to have their constituencies view them as non-creationists. Creedal Controversy: The Orthodoxy Of "days"
10/1/2001 Should a specific view of the nature and duration of the creation days of Genesis be considered a part of the Christian creed? Does an “orthodox” position on the creation days exist, as it does for the Trinity and the Incarnation? Does Old-earth Creationism Contradict Genesis 1?
1/1/2007 An article by Dr. Terry Mortenson -- "Evolution vs. Creation: the Order of Events Matters" -- claims long creation days only seem reasonable to those who pay insufficient attention to the order of events in Genesis 1. The only way the day-age view can be harmonized with Genesis, it asserts, is by rearranging the biblical creation events. As proof, the article cites what Mortenson contends are numerous conflicts between science and Genesis 1. Evidence Of Early Plate Tectonics
6/23/2010 Finish the sequence of early Earth transformations: light, water, ______. Did you guess earthquakes? These are the first three miraculous transformations of Earth recorded in the first chapter of Genesis. The first “day” brought the day/night cycle; the second resulted in a stable water cycle; and on the third day we see the arrival of landmasses. (Technically the answer should have been land, but plate tectonics results in land and earthquakes—the latter of which are more exciting.) New scientific evidence affirms the antiquity of plate tectonics. Four Views Of The Biblical Creation Account
8/8/2000 The following information comes from the "Report of the Creation Study Committee" posted on PCANEWS.COM, the Web Magazine of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), dated July 6, 2000. The 92-page document, presented to the 28th General Assembly of the PCA, results from the committee’s two-year study of Genesis 1-3 and of the meaning of "day" in that creation account. Historic Age Debate - Overview, Part 1/2
10/10/2007 The historic age debate (as defined in this series) refers to the ongoing controversy in the church over the nature of the days of creation and, correspondingly, the age of the earth. This debate ranks as one of the longest running theological debates in the history of the church's spanning nearly two millennia. Historic Age Debate: Overview, Part 2/2
10/17/2007 It is commonly assumed by people today that the church has consistently and uniformly held to a calendar-day interpretation of Genesis 1 over its 2,000-year history. If that were true, then other interpretations could be safely dismissed as mere aberrations or as compromises to science. Ode To Oxygen
4/1/2007 My seventh-grade science teacher asked the class to list “the three most essential needs of human life.” The “correct” answer—water, food, and sleep—illustrates how easily people take for granted the air we breathe, specifically its oxygen content. President's Laptop- April 2001
4/1/2001 Perhaps you have come across (or heard about) the claim that I am a “danger” to evangelical Christianity, that I am part of the great deception of 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12. I prefer to be known as a danger to deceivers. Report Of The Creation Study Committee
1/1/2000 The Committee has been unable to come to unanimity over the nature and duration of the creation days. Nevertheless, our goal has been to enhance the unity, integrity, faithfulness and proclamation of the Church. Therefore we are presenting a unanimous report with the understanding that the members hold to different exegetical viewpoints. Response To Genesis And The Big Bang

1/23/2001 Scriptures expressing that God is the Creator; Scriptures that describe time as being created by a transcendent Creator; Scriptures that describe times when God intervenes in the physical realm (miracles); Scriptures describing the relationship between the Sabbath and Creation Star Light & The Age Of The Universe
7/1/1998 One fact has continued to hold my attention in the ongoing debate between creationists on the age of the universe. I can see stars. On a clear night I see thousands of them. Astronomers seem to know a lot about these twinkling specks of light in the heavens, even though they are very far away. Ten Major Differences Between Calendar-day And Day-age Creationists

4/12/2007 The specific duration of the creation days in Genesis chapters 1 and 2 remains an area of debate among evangelical Christians.
