Dear Yang Hu,
Anyone can make a spelling error in their posting and
you illustrate this point in your own posting.
You read the Scriptures too hastily for the verse you cite from
Deuteronomy says nothing about a rapist marrying the girl that he raped.
Start back in verse 25, for there God says that the rapist must die.
Perhaps like most atheists and agnostics so anxious to disprove and
discredit the Bible, you too treat the Bible too hastily. What or whom
are you trying to justify?
If our society headed God's commands in this area and in all others we
would not have such a sick society where we have little justice, can hardly
trust our leaders or anyone else, and the list goes on.
But be careful of your treatment of the Scriptures for Jesus tells you
that when you stand before him after death you will be judged according to
every jot and title that He has spoken. False conclusions from hasty
readings that your friends and colleagues are only too eager to agree with
will not stand when you meet with God.
Be cautious about equating the Bible with Hitler. You are walking on
thin ice. Hitler's autobiography whose title means' my struggle'was full
of evolutionary concepts. Hitler seemed to admire the teachings of Ernest
Haekel. Hitler's campaign to create a superior race and to exterminate
the Jews was his attempt to help evolution out a bit. The fact that he
based his theories on evolution has been an embarrassment to evolutionists
over the years.
Also Haekel's theory Ontogeny Recapitulate Phylogeny was
shown to be a fraud by a jury of his own peers. Some evolutionists today
including Stephen J. Gould of Harvard point out that this disproven theory
is still featured in school biology texts. Some abortionists still use
this discredited theory to justify the torture, mutilation, and murder of
millions of preborn babies who God says he knew before the world was ever
created.
You think that you have discredited the Bible in its claims on
science such as the supposed 4 legs of locusts. But consider who in the
past had great respect for the science in the Scriptures:
Newton, Kepler, Galileo, Kelvin, Faraday, Herschel, and there are countless
others. One particular case comes to mind in Matthew Maury who is one of
the founders of Oceanography. He had as his starting point the 'pathways
of the seas' from Psalm 8, and through his research revolutionized shipping
around the world and enabled the laying of the transAtlantic Cable. But
even today there are many scientists contributing to science that believe
in a literal Genesis, and yes their science is very well informed by their
bias just as the evolutionist has his philosophical bias from which he
starts.
If there is no evidence for a worldwide flood then ask yourself
why there are marine fossils at the tops of practically all the major
mountain ranges around the globe. Why are their countless numbers of
fossilized dead things buried all over the world under tons of sedimentary
rock?
Why are there many huge densely-packed fossil graveyards, all over the
world? Why are there countless numbers of mammoths still buried in
Siberia, some with undigested food in their stomachs.
If you deal with the data fairly you will have to give some credit to a
world wide flood. The collection of fossils that lies at the centre of
the Cambridge U. fossil collection were collected by a creationist
geologist several centuries ago. Up to one hundred and fifty years ago
fossils were explained by leading scientists in terms of Noah's flood.
And God gives us very good details about the flood.
But because the evolutionists tell you a story that you agree with and
doesn't sound like it comes from the Bible you just believe it and don't
critically think about it. And then like many others you just slam a
point of view which is a threat to the philosophy that is dear to you.
You need to ask yourself why the Egyptian civilization suddenly appeared
only about five thousand years ago. Why do the major civilizations trace
their histories back to only three to five thousand years? Why are the
oldest trees known no more than 4 to 5,000 years old?
One thing that is hardly ever taken into consideration is the age-old
antipathy to God by mankind that has affected the writing of history, the
doing of science, and many other cultural activities. Stanley Jaki of
Chicago U. has said that their is a decided anti-Christian bias among
historians.
Liberal Theologians assert that the Genesis accounts were adapted from the
Babylonian myths but qualified experts in literature have said that the
case seems to be the other way around since the Genesis accounts are much
better written and the Babylonian are very crude. Also the Genesis
accounts are unique in that they are the only ones that feature a Creator
who created out of nothing. The writing of all other religions feature
god's who make things from preexisting matter (since all the other
religions are basically evolutionistic except for Judaism, Islam, and one
or two others.)
But almost every evolutionist likes to believe the Liberal Theologians
since this information seems to discredit the Bible. God is far more
original than you and others give him credit for.
Consider also that the Ancient Chinese have on their pottery symbols
depicting the Ark of Noah and eight people aboard the Ark. An
anthropologist has found numerous Chinese symbols depicting numerous
Biblical concepts. But this is another fact that probably did not make
its way into your public school education.
Consider carefully your sources, Yang. Consider that many theologians
today do not believe that the Bible is the Word of God. And many
evolutionists who are eager to recruit the notions of these theologians are
themselves atheists and agnostics in the tradition of Darwin, Huxley,
Lyell, Hutton, and many others.
