Comment on Why the Bible? by Shining (d bindernagel).
@ken:
Ken,
The account of the beginning of the world would have been at least as important in the days of Moses as today. The stories could have been passed down like the griots of Africa. I have no more trouble with Moses hearing various accounts than the Gospel writers hearing many accounts. If Moses was inspired to write everything down, doesn’t mean no one had ever talked about anything before, or even that he didn’t use things already circulating, as he was led by the Holy Spirit. I trust the Bible because of Prophecy, archeology, science, and logic. But I also have tried it out in my own life, claiming its promises and following its injunctions and it has brought peace and joy into my life.

@Professor Kent: You have asked many more than one question. And when one is answered, you ask another. No one here claims to have all knowledge about the present, let alone the past but many of the questions you ask, you could find the reasonable creationist responce on the web, if you, as you have several times stated, really want to know.

thanks bob, i found that bird track article worth saving to a word document. Old saying proved again, “A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still.” This won’t help those who don’t want to consider creation viable. Each time one of their accusations is explained they just go looking for another. But the article will help those who are honestly considering all the options. Thanks again

@Professor Kent: I am comfortable with fossils after the flood. It makes a lot of sense. I will say that many things both creos and evos believed got changed after the succession of events on Mt. St. Hellens so that anything stated beyond the accounts of inspiration are always tentative in my mind.

@ Professor kent – I could go on but this by Natl Geographic should do for a finale. If one looks it is easy to find a plethora of evidence. In spite of evidece not yet found, evidence kept in private collections, evidence destroyed or tamered with, or evidence about about which inaccurate conclusions have been drawn, there is volumes of it there for the looking. In the past, there were plants and animals much bigger than what we see today. -Shining
