About the talk:
This talk demonstrates the revival going on in the church for the belief in the straightforward history of Genesis 1-11. People are waking up to the devastation caused by the acceptance of evolution and deep time. Challenges are being answered. There are new creationist organizations and many new speakers. Whereas 35 years ago when I became interested in this issue, there were very few resources, now there is a wealth of information to equip the saints for the work of ministry.
We have discovered that macroevolution is not a fact nor scientific since it is not observed going on today. The extreme complexity of creation shows that creation is true. Millions and billions of years are not facts but interpretations. There is much evidence for the global Genesis Flood. The Flood is also the great “time cruncher” of deep time, for example bringing back the Flood from its “Enlightenment” rejection, an ice age can happen rapidly. We do not need hundreds of thousands or millions of years for an ice age. Ultimately, it is not an issue over facts, but it is a worldview issue: the worldview of Christianity versus the worldview of naturalism, which has taken over the culture since the Enlightenment. Finally, we have discovered that Genesis cannot be “reinterpreted” without destroying the whole Bible as God’s word and the gospel message. The talk ends with an appeal to become equipped yourself.
