Its Effects Are Seen Globally Today

Great Worldwide Unconformity

http://www.icr.org/article/842/

• All the mountains of the world have been under water at some time or times in the past, as indicated by sedimentary rocks and marine fossils near their summits.
• Even most volcanic mountains with their pillow lavas seem largely to have been formed when under water.
• Most of the earth's crust consists of sedimentary rocks (sandstones, shales, limestones, etc.). These were originally formed in almost all cases under water, usually by deposition after transportation by water from various sources.
• There is also a great worldwide unconformity which eliminates the need for time to deposit those layers (me)
• The assigned "ages" of the sedimentary beds (which comprise the bulk of the "geologic column") have been deduced from their assemblages of fossils. Fossils, however, normally require very rapid burial and compaction to be preserved at all. Thus every sedimentary formation appears to have been formed rapidly—even catastrophically—and more and more present-day geologists are returning to this point of view.
• Since there is known to be a global continuity of sedimentary formations in the geologic column (that is, there is no worldwide "unconformity," or time gap, between successive "ages"), and since each unit was formed rapidly, the entire geologic column seems to be the product of continuous rapid deposition of sediments, comprising in effect the geological record of a time when "the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished."
• It is also significant that the types of rocks, the vast extent of specific sedimentary rock formations, the minerals and metals, coal and oil found in rocks, the various types of structures (i.e., faults, folds, thrusts, etc.), sedimentary rocks grossly deformed while still soft from recent deposition, and numerous other features seem to occur indiscriminately throughout the various "ages" supposedly represented in the column. To all outward appearances, therefore, they were all formed in essentially the same brief time period.
• The fossil sequences in the sedimentary rocks do not constitute a legitimate exception to this rule, for there is a flagrant circular reasoning process involved in using them to identify their supposed geologic age. That is, the fossils have been dated by the rocks where they are found, which in turn had been dated by their imbedded fossils with the sequences based on their relative assumed stages of evolution, which had ultimately been based on the ancient philosophy of the "great chain of being." Instead of representing the evolution of life over many ages, the fossils really speak of the destruction of life (remember that fossils are dead things, catastrophically buried for preservation) in one age, with their actual local "sequences" having been determined by the ecological communities in which they were living at the time of burial.
• The fact that there are traditions of the great Flood found in hundreds of tribes in all parts of the world (all similar in one way or another to that in the Genesis record) is firm evidence that those tribes all originated from the one family preserved through the cataclysm.

• The language only caused them to go. The isolation caused them to differentiate.

• The earth was....not became. Whenever a person who rejects the literal interpretation cannot do so in English, they resort to "in the original language that means"
• The "was without form and void is used to support the various gap theories by saying it became form and void due to judgment, destruction, etc.
• Without form, as in formless, featureless
• Void as in empty
• The first thing a person does if they are doing a sculpture is get some clay that is "without form and void" of features
• No light, a ball of water (the deep), which would have no features
• Just the spirit of the LORD Jesus Christ there
• God's light shines where and when He wants it to and can be withdrawn and withheld at His desire and will
• When something hovers, it is waiting to do something, such as a bee, a bird

(Genesis 1:3 [KJV])
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

• There is no sun, so this light is from God alone
• All God does is say/speak it into existence, and it happens, with no need to actually do.

(1 John 1:5 [KJV])
This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

(Genesis 1:4 [KJV])
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. The darkness is only there to show features on something we see in the light, but darkness alone is an absence of light. It is not a particle. Light is good; darkness is not today, but here everything was good, because it was only a physical shadow, without morals

(Genesis 1:5 [KJV])
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

• This is obviously the beginning of the rotation of the earth
• The word "the" is definite and used four times here for emphasis
• Use of "evening and morning" means a literal 24 hour day like ours
• Use of "first" (ordinal number) means a literal 24 hour day
• In 1900 occurrences in Scripture, 95% of the time the word day is used and means only a 24-hour day, or of the daylight portion of our typical day.
• The rest (5%) are things like "The Day of the Lord".
• The word "DAY" plus a number word is used outside of Genesis 410 times, and 410 times it means a literal day. Period.
• The words "Evening and Morning " alone without the word "Day" is used 38 times, and 38 times it means a literal day. Period.
• The words "Evening and Morning " with the word "Day" are used 23 times, and 23 times it means a literal day. Period.
• Fifty times the words "NIGHT" with "DAY" are used and fifty times it means a literal, twenty four hour day.
• The word "day" is written into the Genesis record and the rest of the Old Testament 200 times number words like first, second. In EVERY SINGLE CASE, not one exception, it refers to a literal 24-hour day like ours today.

(Genesis 1:6 [KJV])
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.

• This firmament would have served many purposes, such as increased oxygen content, atmospheric pressure, greenhouse effect to warm the earth uniformly, prevent severe winds and weather from occurring
• When it was removed, the Flood occurred

(Genesis 7:11 [KJV])
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.

(Genesis 1:7 [KJV])
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.

• These would later have become the Flood waters
• Waters below=oceans, waters above= canopy of reserved water

(Genesis 1:8 [KJV])
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

• This firmament was simply the major part of the first heaven, the atmosphere of the earth
• During the Flood this would have been converted into rain on the earth, and then our current cloud/weather system worldwide

(Genesis 1:9 [KJV])
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

• Step by step God is making a place for mankind and the beasts of the earth
• Nothing is ex nihilo in the creation of the oceans, just a creation from water and earth that were pre-existing for two days now.

(Genesis 1:10 [KJV])
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.

• This probably would not have been one land mass, unless it was broken up during the Flood, since the whole idea of continental drift is not scientific, not based upon facts and data, not provable and not even logical

(Genesis 1:11 [KJV])
And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

• God lets the earth grow plants on that day from nothing to full grown plants, in a non-personal way of Creation without a "hands on approach", at His Fiat command
• This would not have been from seeds, but straight out of the soil.
• The seeds would have been in the ripened fruits, growing on mature trees and everything would then have an appearance of age, of having grown right
• "After his kind" is directly related to stasis of kinds, and refutes evolution and is still true and an unbreakable genetic law today.

(Genesis 1:12 [KJV])
And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

• No plant would be inedible, nor with stingers, thorns, poison, etc.
• Further preparation for the Crown of Creation, mankind-food
• "After his kind" is again repeated

(Genesis 1:13 [KJV])
And the evening and the morning were the third day.

• Repetition three times thus far of the proof of a literal 24 hour day.

(Genesis 1:14 [KJV])
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

• This is the heavenly bodies of the sun, the moon and the stars
• The Stars were to mark time like a well set watch, which they are today
• The moon marks the month, the earth and sun relationship denote both a year and a day
• The narrative continues on in typical Hebrew style with a broad account followed by the specifics
• This can be stated as, "This is what I did, now here is how I did it."

(Genesis 1:15 [KJV])
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so.

• This would be, among other things, the introduction to the Creation of the sun and the moon

(Genesis 1:16 [KJV])
And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also.

• The Sun is to us a star, but to God it is a special star, created just for the earth
• The moon is unique, not evolved or spun off out of the earth as evolutionists say

(Genesis 1:17-18 [KJV])
And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.

• This placement may indicate a geo-centric system
• The plants created the day before now have sunlight to grow further, propagate and produce fruit

(Genesis 1:19 [KJV])
And the evening and the morning were the fourth day.

• One more repetition of the "Evening and the morning" and an ordinal number, meaning it surely must be a literal 24 hour day

(Genesis 1:20 [KJV])
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

• Again a special "hands off" making of water creatures and birds, but not really. This time He says He created them (v. 21)
• This firmament again is the atmosphere

(Genesis 1:21 [KJV])
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

• Sea Creatures and birds, created from the water
• This is not evolution as is claimed, and the word is not in the Bible, no implied in any way, except in 2 Peter 3:3-10
• Everything is "after its kind" or "after their kind"

(Genesis 1:22 [KJV])
And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

• Fill is the same word as replenish after the Flood
• To multiply means more than two, which is only a duplication
• God says it is fruitful to multiply

(Genesis 1:23 [KJV])
And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.

• Again, fifth time repeated the locking mechanism for a six day creation, young earth

(Genesis 1:24 [KJV])
And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

• This is both the wild and the domesticated animals (cattle)
• This flies in the face of those who insist that "man domesticated the animals" tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years ago.
• This also includes dinosaurs, insects and all creepy crawlies alive today

(Genesis 1:25 [KJV])
And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

• After having created everything that could possibly hurt man, God calls it "good" still, indicating that these creatures were not dangerous at this time

(Genesis 1:26 [KJV])
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

• This creation is set apart in every way
• Animals are not made in God's Image
• Man is not made in the animals' image
• Man is only made in God's image-volition, intelligence, emotion, will, religion, self-awareness, love, etc.
• Man is also a tripartite being...having a body, soul and a spirit. The body lives temporarily, the soul is given by God lives forever, and the spirit is now born dead due to sin and only made alive when we accept the sacrificial death on the Cross, burial, and resurrection of the LORD Jesus Christ and are "born-again"

(Genesis 1:27 [KJV])
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

• Again, the Hebrew narrative tells us that Eve was also created on the sixth day, only God is not female
• The account of the creation of Eve is in chapter two, mentioned here as an account introduction only.

(Genesis 1:28 [KJV])
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

• Again, the command to multiply, and "replenish" which means to fill, interchangeably.
• Be stewards over the earth, it is yours, not belonging to the animals
• It is God's to give to whoever HE wishes

(Exodus 19:5 [KJV])
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:

(Psalms 24:1 [KJV])
A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD'S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

(Psalms 50:12 [KJV])
If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

(Psalms 89:11 [KJV])
The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

(1 Corinthians 10:26 [KJV])
For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof.

(1 Corinthians 10:28 [KJV])
But if any man say unto you, This is offered in sacrifice unto idols, eat not for his sake that shewed it, and for conscience sake: for the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof:

(Genesis 1:29 [KJV])
And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

• The fruit tree yielding seed is "after its kind"
• The command to eat meats was not until after the Flood, for man so everything, even dinosaurs, ate plants.
• The dinosaurs would have been among God's lawnmowers for sure!

(Genesis 1:30 [KJV])
And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so. The command to eat meats was not until after the Flood, for everything and even dinosaurs ate plants.

• The dinosaurs would have been among God's lawnmowers for sure!

(Genesis 1:31 [KJV])
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. No death, no sin, no pain, no suffering Everything is complete with man so everything is now declared "very good" for the first and last time Everything includes everything and excludes nothing, including the spiritual realm of angels
