Something is Awry with the Timeline (part 9)
By L. S. Su

 

The above timeline is being taught in schools today. The above timeline is being challenged with some recently collected scientific data and a recent find: Not all dinosaur bones are fully petrified. Dr. Mary Schweitzer, associate professor of marine, earth, and atmospheric sciences at North Carolina State University, surprised scientists in 2005 when she reported finding soft tissue (collagen) in dinosaur bones. She started a firestorm of controversy in 2007 and 2008 when she reported that she had sequenced proteins in the dinosaur bone. The presence of collagen in bones means there are proteins which means there are still carbon atoms present. Scientist had previously thought that all carbon 14 atoms would have departed the bone after 100,000 years. If there is still carbon inside the bones, then you can measure the age of bones by performing radiometric carbon 14 dating on the actual bones itself than do what scientists were doing before -using radiometric dating method (e.g. Potassium-argon, Uranium-lead, Rubidium-strontium) of the soil found near the bones.)

Not just Dr. Schwitzer, but other scientists have found dinosaur bones with measurable amounts of carbon inside the bone. But when their findings do not match the above timeline, their findings are currently being dismissed as "obviously wrong" by those who hold high positions in the scientific community. I do feel it is a matter of time before objective scientists accept that the above time line is inaccurate, because at this point scientists would either need prove that collagen is not being found inside dinosaur bones or that carbon 14 radiometric dating is no longer a valid dating method. it makes more sense to measure the age of the fossil itself, then For this fairly recent find to be invalid, you would either need to prove there is no carbon atoms left in the bone or dermis

Academia's timeline above is NOT constructed from radiometric carbon 14 dating, but from radiometric dating (e.g. potassium-argon) of soil samples that they finds near the fossils. If their dating methods are accurate, then that only tells us the the age of the soil (more specifically the age of the the volcanic ash that is in the soil) and some type of assumption then has to be made that if you know the age of the soil, you then know the age of the fossil. For radiometric dating to be accurate, it must assume that the starting levels of the radioactive isotope being measured is known. For the Biblical timeline to be accurate, it assumes that the text is accurate.

 

First of all, what academia teaches compared to what the Bible teaches is fundamentally different. So from the get-go, it is not possible to say both can be correct. One school of thought is that life evolved. The other school of thought is that life was created. The later requires intelligence, skill and an artist's passion; and thus it requires a Creator. The act of evolving does not require a creator, because Evolutionists believe that life will "find a way" and moves towards a higher and higher level of complexity on its own; and thus no intelligent designer with supernatural powers to overcome the 2nd law of thermodynamics (entropy) is required to make life happen.

But academia and the Bible don't disagree on everything. Both seem to support that some time in the past, there was a very large flood on Earth. Both are in agreement that land animals did walk the Earth before man, but the timeline continues to be debated. As already mentioned, academia is currently advocating a 75 million year gap between dinosaur and man. The Bible advocates a much shorter gap from the time God created land animals (dinosaurs would be lumped into this category) and from the time God created man. To be more specific, God created both land animals and man on the 6th day.

And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

-Genesis 1: 24 -27

Note that it is the 3rd paragraph set into place a foundation, which allowed our country's forefathers built upon it and came up with the the principal that "All men are created equal." If you remove the above foundation, which dictators like to do, then the principal collapses and then the principal of might makes right (survival of the fittest) moves in to fill the vacuum.

I think in general most people desire to believe what teachers teach us is true; I also that most people who believe in God desire to believe the Bible is true too. But the timeline that is being purported from academia and the Bible cannot both be true unless you reinterpret at least one of them. So what I think happens is that many people take the path of least resistance is to reinterpret the Biblical text and turn the "day" in Genesis into millions of years. However, from my reading and comprehension of the Bible, interpreting the 6 days of creation in Genesis to millions of years is problematic for several reasons:

  1. The writer of creation story in Bible, frame how long a "day" took. When you read all the stuff that was created in six (6) days, after God completed each day's worth a work, this phrase immediately appears "And there was evening and then morning -the __th day." This phrase doesn't appear just once, but 6 separate times. A person that I have great respect for interprets the creation story as a song. I think that's a perfectly fine interpretation; but whether the creation story is a story or song, the words to the chorus is still accurate correct? The writer isn't introducing something that is flat out wrong correct? So one problem in reinterpreting the "day" in genesis to millions of years, then it requires you to reinterpret the length of time on how long and "evening" and "morning" took.
  2. When you read the creation account in Genesis or from the Torah, we see that God or Elohim created plants on the 3rd day, birds and sea creatures on the 5th day, and animals and man on the 6th day. I think what happens to many people is that comprehension of so much organic life to create in such a short period of time is too mind boggling. Especially when people are accustomed to seeing how long tree take to grow or how long an animal takes to go from conception to adult; it's difficult to fathom that so much stuff can be created in such a short period of time; so I believe what happens is they with the aid of evolutionary timeline reinterpret "day" to millions of years.

    But as a reminder, God is outside time and space. If he is outside these dimensions, he's not subject to time and space constraints like things in the creation are. God thus has an infinite amount of time to create a mature forest and can take less than a second (in our time). The opening sentence of the creation story tells us God is outside of time and space. "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Realize that we use the heavens above the earth to mark time. We have earth to understand dimensional space. Humans are subject to time and space constraints; God is not.
  3. The word "day" in Genesis or "yom" in the Torah is NOT used in a way to suggest a long period of time (e.g. "in the day" of the dinosaur, or "during the day" when Ronald Regan was President). When you simply read the text, there is nothing the way it is written to suggest that day should be interpreted as long eras or millions of years. There is also no precedence in any other piece of literature to interpret the word "day" as several millions years.
