So?

A point was mentioned today. According to the U.S. commentator, Trump has the constitutional right to tweet like any other citizen. You might not like his tweets because they might not be politically correct, but how much different are they than the tweets from the rest of the world on social media? If he wants to tweet, he has that right. Remember it is just a tweet. I wouldn't put too much in it. It's not an executive order. Remember, the MSM criticized him for tweeting during the election campaign. but what happened when he continued. It worked for him and he won the election. Didn't seem to hurt him then. He says the MSM hates that he can get the truth out.

Who is Rocky?

Evolution has been de-bunked. No. The boat launch was too crowded with people launching boats (upper 20s today). I think we have been wandering quite far from the topic, Why Trust the Bible?

I should have anticipated someone would come up with that. No, evolution has been debunked by professionals like Philip Stott.

I don't know. It would be pure speculation. Why are kangaroos only in Australia?

I don't know why there are animals in some parts of the world and not others. Climate, vegetation, etc.?? You would have to ask someone who studies animals. Gotta run. Might go fishing now.

Maybe someone took some there after the flood. There are aboriginal people in Australia, right? How did they get there after the flood?

Such claims may not be credible. There has to be proof, not just claims. If the flood happened between 4000 and 4500 years ago, then possibly some descendants dispersed to China after that, but where is the proof?

Gotta run. Bye.

I'm just reading a new book, History of the World. It goes back 2,000 years to talk about the history of China, but there is nothing mentioned three or four thousand years ago about China. Nobody knows anything about a history that old for China.

I don't think anyone knows exactly when. But I think I read an estimate of 4,500 years ago.

It's interesting the God scattered everyone at the tower of Babel (which I think was in modern day Iraq) and confounded their languages so they couldn't speak the same language. They scattered to different corners of the earth and spoke different languages.

I don't believe the claims that they go back 6,000 years. They are descendents of Adam and Eve as well as everyone on earth.

I don't have details on that. I believe Prof Stott believes the earth is the centre. It's called geocentricity. I don't necessarily believe that. That is only a theory I think. Possibly only a small number of people believe that. I don't really know the arguments in favour of it.

Their not alone in claiming antiquity. Some natives in B.C. claim that they go back 10 or 15 thousand years I think.

What for? Creation scientists and others don't accept the old earth concept anyway.

Could also have been some more distant relatives or friends living in his house.

Personally I don't think there were human bones and tools etc older than 6000 years in existence. Some of those so-called pre-historic men were found to be fake. Such as the so-called Piltdown man. What some paleontologist have apparently done is find a tooth or such and from that draw a jaw, then the rest of the skull and create a pre-historic man. Then later people found out the tooth was actually from an ape. That sort of thing.

I just looked it up. It says in Genesis ch7 vs1 "And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark" So who knows how many people were in his house. Could have been a number of couples (sons, daughters and their spouses)

What if he brought a son with a wife on board the ark? I see what you mean. Could be that's the way it had to be. Those were unique times, but all the details of who was taken on the ark perhaps are not mentioned. I don't know.

I believe the fossils were either formed since creation, perhaps as a result of the flood OR the fossils were created to be in the earth at the time of creation.

God told Adam and Eve to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth. It had to happen somehow.

Maybe Adam and Eve had more children than are listed in the Bible. Not sure every detail is mentioned.

Good point. I would have to go and read that part. Maybe Noah brought his family on the ark and could it have included a son-in-law or daughter-in-law?
