    I love ICR. My two adult children are now also enthusiastically supporting Creation ministries, at least partly because they have seen the difference in their own lives between ignoring God and following Christ. Now they are thrilled to be showing their own children the first steps in Christian faith and hope. The one with my two older grandchildren visited the Ark Encounter with her husband and their two children in July and absolutely loved it. My other child and his wonderful wife have an infant and they regularly watch excellent videos as they walk with God, educating themselves and telling others and their church about several ministries, including ICR.

      But the genealogy is backed up by archeology proving the historicity of the Bible. And the fossil record and the rock layers. How much evidence do you want? Even meeting Jesus face to face wasn't good enough for most people. Especially the leaders of the day. There are two classes of scripture you need to reject. 1 those inserted by men that are not in the original text. Two examples are the words "alone" which was added by martin Luther to saved by grace. And the story of the adulteress. 2scripture twisted to justify breaking the commandments and or teach pagan doctrine as biblical doctrine

    • @jounisuninen
      @jounisuninen Před 8 měsíci

      ​@@1414141x It seems that the more ignorant a person is, the more he is inclined towards atheism. As I said, Bible has predicted the future of mankind and the universe correctly. In his posthumously-published Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel, and the Apocalypse of St. John, Isaac Newton expressed his belief that Bible prophecy would not be understood "until the time of the end", and that even then "none of the wicked shall understand".
      There is only one Trinitarian God. He is manifested in Bible. Everything that science has found and is finding out, testifies for the scientific facts revealed in Bible. Bible does not use scientific language because that is made by humans for our own inept scientific studies. Instead, Bible tells how God worked and what is waiting us in the future. We can take the Law of Entropy. Bible tells us that nothing is evolving but devolving. This means no Darwinian Universal Common Ancestor was possible. The principal direction of all natural processes is decay, the process towards the universal heat death of the universe. That's what entropy means. So there are no "miracles", just the way how God created our universe and how He will roll it up:
      Hebrews 1:10-12
      10 He also says,“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth,
      and the heavens are the work of your hands.
      11 They will perish, but you remain;
      they will all wear out like a garment.
      12 You will roll them up like a robe;
      like a garment they will be changed.
      But you remain the same,
      and your years will never end.”
      Thermodynamics is working all the time just as God intended - “they will all wear out …”. Bible told thousands of years ago the fact which evolutionists still don’t understand - there is no evolution! Just entropy and devolution. The Law of Entropy rules the whole universe. That's why we are heading towards the universal heat death where the universal temperature will be near 0°K and there's no free energy anymore. All this goes just like the Bible says.
      Indeed, I prefer believing in something that is NOT scientifically proven non-existent (God) than believing in something that IS proven non-existent (abiogenesis / evolution).
      Genesis tells what the inept human science is trying to discover. Accordingly, the deeper science advances the more it discovers, and the more it discovers the more it proves of Genesis. For example, creation is made of particles, indiscernible to our eyes (Hebrews 11:3). Not until the 19th century was it discovered that all visible matter consists of invisible elements just like Bible tells. Genesis tells the work of God, not just the work of a vague Intelligent Designer. The Intelligent Designer indeed has name - Lord Jesus (Yeshua Adonai). He is not a religion but the Truth.
      Scientific studies are full of evidence for creation, each new discovery supporting the others. As an example we can take the fossil evidence. In the so called Cambrian rock layers (in evolutionary terms and taking uniformitarianism as a fact ...) we see the first fossilized structures. Remarkably, they are all complete functional structures which appear suddenly in huge masses without preceding transitional forms. If evolution was true, we could of course see the transitional forms but there aren't any. The obvious answer is creation.
      Of course we can reject the evolutionary terms, as we reject the whole idea of evolution. In fact, that's exactly what every person using his/her brains should do. "If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and utters like a duck it most probably is a duck." When billions of things have the appearance of design, they most probably are designed. Science should be based on probabilities, but atheism is based on improbabilities.
      We have been brainwashed and indoctrinated into believing a lie that has ZERO empirical scientific evidence to support it. I believe that you have an emotional attachment to an a priori assumption that "evolution" is true. Not because it is part of science (which it is NOT) but because "evolution made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist". (Richard Dawkins)
