I came across a web site after listening to the person on 3ABN who was responsible for that web site.

The information contained in that web site provides scientific evidence for an instantaneous creation rather than a slow millions of years of accidental evolving of the planet earth and subsequent life on that planet.

Here is the main link to that web site:

http://www.halos.com

The two videos at

http://www.halos.com/videos/streaming-video.htm

are simply outstanding.

I haven't seen the videos yet, however, I did spend a great deal of time reading some of the scientific evidence on this site that scientifically proves an instantaneousness creation rather than a slow evolutionary process of millions of years or more that the evolutionists claimed evolved from a big bang.

I am beginning to wonder if anyone carefully read the Genesis account of creation. Do you really believe it is possible for water to be in existence BEFORE the first day of creation began?

Been looking at this site again after watching something on Amazing Discoveries TV by Dr. Robert Gentry and his son.

The videos on the following link came to my attention:

Especially this one, where somebody tried to refute him:

You can see the whole presentation here:

I watched the whole thing. It was worth it. It goes hand in hand with the Sabbath school lessons for the first two weeks of this year.

Regarding Robert Gentry's claims of an instantaneous creation, I think I can agree 100% with his evidence for that. However, perhaps he has yet to answer why said creation should be limited to having occurred six millennia ago. The fact is, once the polonium had made its halos in the rock, there is nothing further to tell us how long ago that event occurred. The rock cannot inform us definitively as to the passage of time since the event of its creation. All the halos do is to substantiate the Bible in that "He commanded and it stood fast." It was an instant creation. But we know not when it occurred.

The Genesis account clearly speaks of the water and the land mass as having pre-existed Creation Week when all life on earth was created and when the earth itself was given form. The land was covered in water up to that time, and by the Word was transformed into dry land which God then named "Earth." But there is no indication in the Biblical record for how long the water and the wet land existed prior to the beginning of that special week in which they were given meaning.

Did God create both the land and the water? Certainly. But they were already there when He chose to develop them further in what would place life in them--the six days of Creation Week.

For this reason, I have no clear argument against the earth being millions of years old. However, any fossils or sedimentary layers containing fossils (cretacious rock) would necessarily be no more than six thousand years old. Where Dr. Gentry is finding his radiohalos, in granite, is rock that we have no way of dating presently, to the best of my knowledge. Dr. Gentry may choose to believe that the evidence points toward the elements themselves being no more than 6000 years old, yet the Bible does not limit us to merely this option. In fact, the implication is there that the elements existed long before Creation Week.

"In the beginning..." seems to place the creation of Heaven and Earth at the same time. There are several ways of interpreting this. Some believe that God's own heavenly home was created at that time and that all stars and planets were created together just six thousand years ago. But that the celestial Heaven pre-existed Creation Week is evident in the story of the rebellion and war there which occurred prior to our Creation Week.

Consider the following statements by Mrs. White.



The controversy started in heaven first, and later came to earth.



This passage indicates that the rebellion in Heaven took time. It took time for the seeds of doubt, pride and jealousy to take root in Lucifer's mind. It took time for his rebellion to mature. God bore long with him. If this has any comparison to how long God has borne with us, it may have been much longer than many suppose. But more than any of this, these passages imply an existence in Heaven that predates sin--an existence that may have lasted for ages before sin ever entered. Heaven existed before our Creation Week. How else could we be the "crowning act?" The final, and best of God's creations could only have come after other creations were already made. The universe, therefore, cannot be dated the same as our own period of existence as human beings.

God was not indebted to pre-existing matter.

Today's Sabbath School lesson tells me that creation must be viewed and accepted by faith. Why do we then need any scientific evidence? Then faith is not needed.

Seems to me that God also gives us something tangible to hang our faith onto, does He not?

Prior to the Flood, they had the Garden of Eden and the angel guarding access to the Tree of Life. I would call this tangible evidence for them back then.
