Show Me Creation Episode 10

They cover Stephen’s background, education, studies et.

Then, they discuss a paper he wrote about “which came first Adam or Death?” A look at Chronological Creationism.

Wrote paper in response to another paper written, and looked at precedence of Paul writings in Galatians 3 and Romans 4-Abraham came first, before Moses.

Are we to take the word, “days” literally?

Non-creationist argue, days in the bible didn’t really mean 24-hours.

Dr. Llyod brought up relative chronology, Abraham was before Moses, however how long before we don’t know. So, we need to go to the cross and look at it first. The cross and death of Jesus at the Cross was put in motion by Adam’s sin. No death before sin.

The Bible is telling a story so chronological order is important.

His methodology takes a look at the New Creation….and the Resurrection.

In the resurrection, Jesus overcame death. So, if God created death first and overcame something God himself created, the resurrection is less important. But, if death started with Adam’s sin, then overcoming death has a whole new and significant meaning.

Then, they move onto the flood. There is a redemptive quality to the flood as the animals saved come out on the other side of man’s sin just as the New Creation overcomes man’s sin.

So, the Flood was transformational and was worldwide not a local event as evolutionist believe. If local, all the people outside the flood zone would be excluded from God’s post flood promises.

All through Scripture, the stories are tied to reality that can no longer be argued away be archeological discoveries are backing it all up.

The Bible is not mythological, it’s all tied to history.

Canaanites feared God because everything He commanded kept coming true

A lot of the bigger issues in life and apologetics are answered through a logical approach to creationism.

They wrap it up and tell listeners when they can find it.
