Who dat? – Part 3
There was evening and there was morning, one day…there was evening and there was morning, a second day…There was evening and there was morning, a third day…There was evening and there was morning, a fourth day…There was evening and there was morning, a fifth day…there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day [Genesis 1:5, 8, 13, 19, 23, 31].
As one last evidence in our remonstrance against DAT, let’s practice what true science preaches and test the feasibility of DAT in that way. True science teaches that we are to form a hypothesis, and then take it to the lab to test it in a controlled environment. This means we are to test the hypothesis in an environment where we can account for all the variables. Once the hypothesis has passed the test in the controlled environment, then and only then do we put it into practice in the real world to see how it fares out there.
I hope you caught my reference to “true science”. This is important. History, of which geology perforce belongs, cannot be tested in the lab. How can we take the past into a lab? Uh, that would be a “we can’t”. History and geology are not true science. They are fields of speculation, of surmises, especially when dealing with pre-history where we cannot even read the words of men who were contemporaries during those times. We can state nothing in our studies of those times but surmises.
Here’s how it works in reality, dear friends. Some musty-smelling old geology gent makes a visit to the Grand Canyon. He looks at how deep it is, watches how fast the river waters are moving through it, checks the density of the rock, and pulls out his abacus to do some calculating. “Ah ha!” he blurts out. “I’ve figured out how long it would take for this here river, running at its present rate across the rock we now have showing, to cut through the rock to form the Grand Canyon.
Listen to 2 Peter 3:3-4:
Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking following after their own lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.”
That is the definition of uniformitarianism, my friends. Uniformitarianism teaches that all things have occurred, still occur, and will continue to occur, at the same rate they now occur. Hence our musty-smelling geologist gent did his figuring on the basis of the rate which the river now flows and figured the rock was the same as it is now. This is because the central premise of uniformitarianism is that all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation.
Oh, there is so much more we could share on this subject, but we mustn’t unduly lengthen this post. Read my book Genesis: Volume 1 for a more in-depth investigation. Before we close, I said we would practice what true science preaches and test DAT by the Word of God. Yea, 2 Peter 3:3-4 exposes uniformitarianism. But we still haven’t applied DAT to any actual Scripture. So let’s do so now, and then we’ll close on that note and spend time alone with the Lord Jesus a while.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day and made it holy [Exodus 20:8-11].
Now let’s apply DAT’s teaching about the word “day” to this text.
Remember the sabbath multi-millions of years, to keep it holy. Six multi-millions of years you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh multi-millions of years is a sabbath of the Lord your God; in it you shall not do any work, you or your son or your daughter, your male or your female servant or your cattle or your sojourner who stays with you. For in six multi-millions of years the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh multi-millions of years; therefore the Lord blessed the sabbath multi-millions of years and made it holy.
If you think that makes sense, methinks you must’ve been sniffing something illegal! Tada.
