2. God made it good, then remade it bad at the curse
3. God made it part of the curse |
|
|
How did degeneration come about?
|
Either through modification or displacement. 1, Some orderly system within an organism breaks down by mutation resulting in pathology. Or, creters go where they were not inteded.
|
|
|
George McCready Price
|
1925 This degeneration is not confined to the mammals; it is an almost universal phenomenon through the animal kingdom. As sir william dawson has expressed it, "all things left to themselves seem to degenerate."
|
|
|
Grank Lewis Marsh
|
1947 The doctrine of specail creation does not teach that man today is as he was created. But rather, that the modern racese are degenerated forms of that first man, who was formed of dust by his creator.
|
|
|
Henry Morris
|
1963 Not only has God told us that he has finished his creation, and is no preserving it, so that nothing further is being created nor is anything being destroyed, but he has also told us that there is everywhere in the world a tendency toward decay and death.
|
|
|
What type of theory is Price, Marsh and Moris holding to?
|
An anti-evolution theory.
|
|
|
Paley's Design theory

God's design reveals a good designer. God cares for his creation by providing them with good designs that contribute their happiness.
|
|
|
Paley's Design solution for evil
|
"we cannot therefore acoid the difficulty by saying, that the effect was not intended. the only question open to us is, whether it be ultimately evil." "We never discover a train of contrivance to bring about an evil purpose."
|
|
|
Design and Evil Paley
|
Denial. It really isn't evil Even if it is evil, its for the ultimate good.
|
|
|
Design and Evil Dembsik
|
Dosn't change the design argument. Goodness of desiner is ancillary to existence of designer.
|
|
|
Designed evil and the curse
|
This curse brough physical death to the animals and humans. we know the curse contains elements that are likely only explicable through design
|
|
|
Death requires design

|
|
All organism rely on death.
|
feed on dead creatures
dead creatures recylce nutrients through the entire ecology |
|
|
What is the role of degeneration
|
It has a role to play in understanding the origin of natural evil.
|
|
|
The role of design
|
Design is proably a far bigger factor in the origin of natural evil
|
|

|
|
Wht two islands have been studied?
|
The island of St. mathews. That was with the reindeer. And, Isle Royale, with the moose.
|
|
|
What is the relationship between prey and predators?
|
There is a cycle.
|
|
|
When prey numbers increase.
|
predator numbers increase shortly thereafter.
|
|
|
When predator numbers increase
|
prey numbers go down. Predator numbers follow, allowing prey numbers to recover.
|
|
|

The Snowshoe hare and Lynx is a classic example of...
|
predator prey relationships
|
|
|
What death does?
|
death control population sizes
death also recyles nutrients |
|
|
What do type III surviors need to do?
|
They need to reduce their reproduction ouput. THere are alot of type III surviors.
|
|
|
Carrying Capacity
|
Any enviroment can support a specfic number of individuals of a given species. that number is called the carrying capacity.
|

|
|
|
Paley was right in regard to death
|
Death in this world is good.
|
|
|
If the world before the Fall was deathless
|
it was very different from what we have today.
|
|
|
Did predators exist before the fall?

Yes. However, they were modified in some natural way.
Or, God directly redesigned them. Or, God created them at the Fall: they did not exist before the fall. |
|
|
What is Zooxanthellae?
|
It is the part of the Cassiopeia that keeps it from having a very potent sting.
|
|
|
Natural Modification?
|
It is the concept that something that had in the begining, doesn't exist anymore, and predatory traits appear. For example, with the jellyfish, if they were orignally designed to live with algae like zooxanthellae, and then the loss of zooxanthellae produced predatory traits.
|
|
|
What do modern species give us
|
an idea of the range of variation that is possible within a created kind
|
|
|
Bears
|
Bears are designed to eat meat, but their diet is largely herbivorous. They have adaptations that seem to help them eat plants. Which way did they start?
|
|
|
Death shows us..
|
That the curse must have been a complete overhaul of the world, not just an addition of death.
|
|
|
Conventional Gelogy
|
Earth is billions of years old and the fossil record slowly deposited over millions of years, supported by radiometric dating.
|
|
|
What three things help to explain that the fossil record could be explained by a catastrophic flood?
|
widespread deposition
rapid deposition' water deposition |
|
|
How do the colums in stratigraphy relate to one another?
|
They are not the same but they do relate and correlate.
|
|
|
What is one example of this correlation?
|
The Morrision Formation. It extends from New Mexico to Canada. Covers 700,000 sq miles. as mush as 470 feet thick in places.
|
|
|
What is strata deposited by?
|
Water
|
|
|
What are the 4 examples of rapid emplacement in regard to strata?
|
Folded strata
Erosion surfaces Modern rapidly-formed strata Trace Fossils |
|
|
Coconino Footprints
|
The experimental cases where they attempted to match something that would be similar to the coconino footprints. They tried lizards in underwatersand, wet sand, damp sand and dry sand. The underwater sand came the closest to the results of the fossils.
|
|
|
Fossil record
|
The flood can explain the individual fossil deposits, but can it explain the entire fossil reccord including the regular order of fossils?
|
|
|
George mcCready Price
|
Denined any order to the fossil reccord "Law of Comfortable Stratigraphical Sequence" "any fossilferous rock may occur comfortably on any other kind of fossilferous rock, old or young"
|
|
|
Harold Clark on the fossil record
|
He says Price is wrong. He spent the time examining rocks. There is a regular order to the fossil record. "Even though it is jumbled around a bit in places" Answer is ecological Zonation
|
|
|
Ecological Zonation
|
Does not handle the fossil recoord very well, especially at a fine level.
|
|
|
What are some aspects of Modern Geographical Zonation
|
ecology changes altitudinally but far more so provincially
|
|
|
Where did dinasours live?
|
To answer this we must know what direction the dinasour fossils came from. There is ongoing research in this area for creationists
|
|
|
What is a serpant?
|
The Hebrew definition indicates a snake
|
|
|
Could it be Satan or Satan controlled animal?
|
Satan is not mentioned anywhere in the passage
|
|
|
Could it be just an animal?
|
If so, then the tempation came from Eve's own nature and not primarly from the serpant. She failed to have dominon over the serpant and allowed the serpent to trick her.
|
|
|
"Cursed above all the Cattle"
|
All the cattle are cursed too?
|
|
|
What does "dust" mean?
|
"Dust" may be an allusion to the stuff humans are made of. Could we then read this as an condemnation to obligate carnivory?
|
|
|
Pain in childbirth?
|
This part of the curse connects to God's command to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. Now this command would be difficult to carry out.
|
|
|
Desire for husband?
|
Woman now has a submissive role to the man. This also corresponds to part of the creation narrative, namely making the woman as a suitable helper for man. Now that the role of helper carries with it conflict, since the woman will want to be in charge.
|
|
|
"Dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return"
|
physical death is part of curse, not just spiritual death.
|
|
|
tson
|
refers to flocks
|
|
|
Ovis aries
|
"sheep"
|
|
|
Sacrifice
|
In Israelite law, sacrifical lambs must be without blemish or defect. To ensure this, familes were to observe their sacrifices closely for a time to make sure that they were not defective.
|
|
|
Heb. 9:22
|
God requires blood sacrifice
|
|
|
Problem with blood sacrifice assumption
|
Context does not indicate that God requireda blood sacrice at this time. So while the details of the story are reminiscent of the Israelite sacrificial system, it is not necessarily part of this particular story.
|
|
|
God loves a cheerful giver
|
cain gave grudgingly, but Abel gave willingly and happily
|
|
|
Problem with cheeful giver
|
There is no indication of the attitude differences until after the girs are brought. This interpretation seems a bit eisegetical
|
|
|
Where did Cain get his wife?
|
Married his sister - scientifically possible
People already exisited - favorite answer of old-age creationists Just an inconsistent part of the story - favorite answer of scoffers |
|
|
Chapter 5 Verses 3-32
|
Numerical varients in Masoretic, Samaritan, and Septuagint
|
|
|
Interpreting the passage of ages is literally problematic
|
How do we know which tradition is correctly recording the ages? The Samaritan and Septuagint differ significantly from the Masoretic on every age.
|
|
|
What do these three different ages imply for biblical theology?
|
Note that three ages are given for each patriarch: the age at birth of the son, the length of life after the birth of the son, and the total age at death.
|
|
|
