This is why religion is so dangerous. It causes otherwise intelligent and reflective people to reject an evidence based understanding of reality because it doesn't fit with their mind enslaving belief system. Imagine where we would be now if we had all of these minds over the centuries working toward progress rather than wasting precious resources and focus on enforcing their beliefs on the world.
@fsmdidit Why? Almost all people reject evidence based understanding in some aspects of their lives. I think this guy is full of bs. I am am not sure how guys like this can live in States with extensive petroleum systems and think well the entire science that allows them to be found and produced is flawed. However the idea of a human utopia being prevented due to a 'dark age' is wrong.

Wow he so cleverly diverts the subject at the start. In this head his is thinking: Oh Jesus Jesus, what do I do? The only reason I took this job is cause you never actually have to do anything.
Dear dogmatic Christians (like modomnoc1) being smug at the thought of knowing Gods perfect thoughts: is this the divine love that will get you snatched before the storm? What if it is bringing agape love into our souls and into the world and not creating a narrow minded dogmatic theology is what is necessary for salvation? Heck, you guys could be Left Behind with us. We'll have to party together after the true Christians are raptured.
The last vestiges of fundamentalism have just disappeared. This guy is just plain wrong and this just shows how interpreting the Bible literally is so dangerous. I won't bother anymore with fundamentalism - in one ear and out the other. Very sad.
@modomnoc1 We seem to be doing awfully well for people who are supposedly disappearing. But don't worry. We will all disappear someday, and you will get to live in the world we leave behind. Good luck with that, when it happens.
I never cease to be amazed by how literalism requires believing that the Bible is more real than reality. I love this guy because he is so pround of his narrow minded stupidity. I worshiped at pentacostal churches in my youth. The people listening to him are taking notes and imprinting their minds with dogma. Ya, they are totally impressed by this guys widsom.
...the belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree..." MAKES PERFECT SENSE !!!!!
@mrgetrealpeople Well, I am no young earther and definitely don't endorse it, but insofar as it is a philosophical response we can't say they are scientifically illiterate. This fellow is aware of the scientific evidences, but he has a philosophical framework that says that the world looks old but it isn't. This must be responded to on philosophical grounds.
This is quite painful to watch. You forgot to mention the fact that various radioactive dating methods all converge on the age of the earth as 4.6 billion years old, that this age happens to be long enough to allow our evolution, that this age fits quite well with the age of the rest of the solar system (recorded by dating meteorites). Sometimes you really just have to admit that your beliefs are wrong.
@chebob2009 The radioactive dating methods are based on presumptions regarding the amount of the substance originally present in the rocks being dated. Those presumptions are based on the premise that the rocks are, in fact, billions of years old. The radioactive dating methods are a form of circular reasoning where the underlying premise isn't stated explicitly.
Well no, it's based on the presumption that the half life of a radioactive isotope is constant. NOTHING MORE. There is no presumption that the rocks are billions of years old, the same method works on more recently formed rocks too. When about 6 different dating methods give similar results on something, your objections are quite simply irrelevant. It WORKS.
@chebob2009 If it was based solely on the half-life of radioactive substances, it couldn't be used for dating. What does half-life mean? It means the period of time it takes for the atoms of the radioactive substance (which has a given mass) to decay to 1/2 that number of atoms of the radioactive substance (1/2 the starting mass). I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, I suspected in my initial post that you don't fully understand how the dating method works. It appears I was correct.
I'm fully aware of how it works. Please tell me 1 dating method that presumes the rocks are billions of years old!? It's true that certain isotopic clocks are only used for billion year old rocks but that's not what you said.
More likely is the assumption that the original amount of the daughter isotope is 0. The island of Hawaii was dated to only about 0.5 million years, so where is the billion years assumption in that case?
@chebob2009 I think I've proved my point. Deep time is a philosophical supposition, not science. It cannot be verified by laboratory experiments by its nature, which is very convenient for its advocates. It has not been proven, and the "proofs" rely on circular reasoning and unstated, unproven presuppositions. There is ample documentation of this for those who are truly open-minded, as opposed to those who post insults on the internet.
Well no, you have yet to show where they are circular. If the assumption is that a half life is constant AND about half a dozen radioactive clocks give the same date based on this assumption, there's very little that can be doubted.
@chebob2009 You are assuming that the rate is constant AND assuming ratios of the parent and daughter product in the rocks at the time they came into existence, neither of which is provable. In fact, you can get different "age" results from dating different substances in the same rocks. What I proved is that deep time is a supposition underlying the claims behind readioactive dating, and that is sufficient for now, I think.
Yes, but those assumptions imply that independent dating methods will give a roughly similar age for any sample of rock (assuming you're using dating methods with a suitable half-life). So when these methods DO give similar results, you know you were safe in your assumption. The probability of 2 different rates of decay asjusting unpredictably but the resulting in the same age, as if they'd been constant, is almost 0.
You can literally watch this man struggle with his own intellectual dishonesty as he babbles out this nonsense. Can you imagine the hours, days, and years he has spent trying to convince himself of an apologetic that he KNOWS is inherently ridiculous? Watch at around 7:46 as he realizes what he's saying - and then pauses for a second as he forces himself to come to terms with it. I am absolutely amazed at his level of knowing obfuscation.
@whoobibi - I admit I'm definitely a biased observer with respect to reality and this idiot. This guy appears to be talking to a classroom... People appear to be listening to him as if he's some sort of authority. I am claiming that he is knowingly misrepresenting history a room full of students by placing his dogmatic conviction to biblical inerrancy over reality. He is the worst kind of charlatan and should not be spreading his nonsense to anyone.
"Does that make any sense?" No, Mister Mohler it makes none. It is entertaining to watch you suppress your rational observations of an old earth as you try to make it compatible with your twisted religious dogma. What inner turmoil this must cause you. It may be why you blink and sweat so much when you speak. Only within the safe confines of your church and flock is this psychobabble met with anything besides laughter. In the future, please whisper these notions to yourself.
@ernestocastillo62 Apparently, you place yourself among those who meet this "psychobabble" with laughter and apparently, you know what is even Mr Mohler's heart. Laughter is not an appropriate response, counter his argument with another argument.
Ultimately, it will reach its perfection in the summation of all things in Christ, through Whom God will become "all in all" (in a non-universalist, non-pantheist way, of course). The progressive nature of God's plan of creation can be seen in the nature of the Covenant with Israel, which, in stages, prepares for the coming of the Messiah. For more info, I'd suggest reading the section of the Catechism of the Catholic Church on the Creator.
That's the problem with approaching an iron age book of mythology as the perfect word of the God you happen to believe in, you come off as a complete moron.
When the Bible says that death entered the world through sin, it is talking about human death. God created human beings for immortality, but there isn't any Biblical evidence that he created any of the animals to live forever. That's how I, as an "old earth" Christian, would answer that question.
As for the length of human history, I would point out that history of Israel and the Covenant is quite short within the context of overall human history no matter how you look at it. And Christ's death on the cross, which is THE definitive salvific act, marks an incredibly small portion compared to the whole history of Israel and the Covenant. What I'm saying is, the lenght of time we're talking about does not necessarily determine importance.
@esotericapeman actually you are wrong, sin is what caused death for all living things. When Adam sinned, he was naked before him as his sin had exposed him. Gen 3:21 And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. Immediately blood had to be shed because of sin. Gen 2:6 and a mist was going up from the land and was watering the whole face of the ground. There were no seasons or weather patterns, everything was perfectly sustained, death was not necessary.
@b1foschiefs Thank you for the reply. I want to address some of your assertions here. First, "There were no seasons or weather patterns." This is mere supposition. The Bible does not teach or even imply the necessity of such a thing. Also, "everything was perfectly sustained, death was not necessary." It does not say anywhere in Genesis that physical death didn't exist. God created the world in a state of journeying...that is, journeying toward its ultimate state of perfection (cont'd)
@esotericapeman No it is not supposition, I included scripture to support my statement. The problem is you dont believe in scripture, because if you did you would not believe in something that the Bible never says or "supposes." You are the one who supposes something because the Holy Bible never says anything about "journeying," in fact that is ridiculous and man made. Even the most uneducated person can see the world is in a state of deterioration which makes your theory bogus.
@b1foschiefs For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. This is scripture and it proves that what you believe is wrong. It speaks of how the fall of man has effected creation. Creation will continue to be in this state of labor until the final restoration of the Lord Jesus Christ.
@b1foschiefs Was the death of Jesus a sign of the "deterioration" of God's plan of Salvation as manifest in the history of Israel? The signs of deterioration in today's world are part of the mystery of God's ability to use evil for the greater good, in a way that we will not know until that day when He returns to establish His Kingdom once and for all. The Scripture passages you cited state that Adam and Eve were clothed by God after the fall and that "a mist (. . .) was watering the whole earth
@esotericapeman ...I don't see how these imply that there were no seasons or weather patterns. Also, as I said, physical death was not intended for humans, but the Bible does not preclude it for animals. Mankind is the only physical creature God intended to live forever. As for creation being in a state of "journeying," I did cite the Covenant Tradition with Israel in Scripture, and also the Catechism of the Catholic Church (it's not that I don't believe Scripture...
@esotericapeman Way to dodge the subject, it is impossible to talk to you if you dont recognize scripture as infallible. You either believe or you dont, and some people try to fit the Bible into their beliefs instead of relying on it as Gods' word.
@b1foschiefs Friend, I didn't say Scripture was not the inerrant, inspired Word of God. Scripture absolutely IS the inspired and inerrant Word of God, and is to be believed by all. What I'm saying is that Scripture is not ALL God gave us for authority. He gave us Sacred Scripture AND Sacred Tradition. In fact, it is out of Sacred Tradition that we got Sacred Scripture.
@esotericapeman "In fact, it is out of Sacred Tradition that we got Sacred Scripture." Not true, though Catholics frequently claim this. The scriptures of the new covenant were written by those having apostolic authority, and that authority was derived directly from Christ, Adonai incarnate. It has nothing to do with the traditions of men.
I do not understand the Fundamentalist Christians obsession of late with dinosaurs. I suppose they finally came to the realization that they could not ignore the overwhelming evidence that dinosaurs once lived but are not around now.
no winder??? and where are you from??? but to give an answer... they have fossils of a human footprint along side a dinosaur print. there are many evidences for it
Otherwise, religious fundamentalists are forced to claim that all the fossils are of the same age, somehow buried in the rocks by some extraordinary catastrophe, perhaps Noahs flood. How exactly they believe that all the dinosaurs, mammoths, early humans, heavily-armored fishes, trilobites, ammonites, and the rest could all live together has never been explained. Nor indeed why the marine creatures were somehow drowned by the flood.
@etinarcadiaego11 If he has an earned PHD... is he a retard or does he have an educational achievement that puts him in the top 1% of our population. His problem is not in having a low I.Q. or a low educational level. He is far above average in both areas. His problem in my view is he accepts false presuppostions about science and about the Bible and will not reexamine them in light of empirical evidence.

How exactly they believe that all the dinosaurs, mammoths, early humans, heavily-armored fishes, trilobites, ammonites, and the rest could all live together has never been explained. Nor indeed why the marine creatures were somehow drowned by the flood.

@etinarcadiaego11 If he has an earned PHD... is he a retard or does he have an educational achievement that puts him in the top 1% of our population. His problem is not in having a low I.Q. or a low educational level. He is far above average in both areas. His problem in my view is he accepts false presuppostions about science and about the Bible and will not reexamine them in light of empirical evidence.
