YEC who doesn't deny death before the fall?

Post by RickD »

I finally found a YEC who doesn't deny death before the fall. What do you think? http://blog.drwile.com/?p=259
John 5:24
24 “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.


“A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.”
-Edward R Murrow

Nice one Rick.. ;)
The heart cannot rejoice in what the mind rejects as false - Galileo

We learn from history that we do not learn from history - Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Hegel

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything is excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things. -Philippians 4:8

I have never understood why YEC insist there was no death before the fall, sure humans were immortal but what would an ant do with immortality?

A single-mother termite ant with her three fatherless children could eat all the wood in your Florida home over the span of 9000 years...or so. That could do a lot of damage.

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

Good one
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.

I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.
Death by starvation is a terrible thing, Goodsir, continued Stanley.
And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night
without.

Hey, I debated this guy before! He was convinced of the young earth idea because of the science, not the bible. In fact he admitted there were good old-earth biblical arguments! I actually looked into the YEC arguments more because of him. He's the only tolerable YEC I know of lol :D

Did you just say, "tolerable", and "YEC" in the same sentence? :pound:
Convinced of YEC, by science? He must've been an OEC spy. 8)

No, I'm sure he was YEC. He said body armour on armadillos and ankylosaurs was originally used to protect from falling rocks :econfused:

Thats funny! :lol:

At least around here, the armadillos think their "body armor" is for when they're walking across the street, and a car is coming. The armadillos curl up in a ball, in the middle of the street, with the hope that they will be protected from a squishing tire.

He seems like a pretty neat guy. He is willing to look at all sides of a question and provides links to a variety of opinions, not just ones which support his own views.
