There are some dodgy articles on the site about the Flood.
The Biblical Flood according to old Earth creationism
Quote:Some old Earth creationists reject flood geology,[14][15] a position which leaves them open to accusations that they thereby reject the infallibility of scripture (which states that the Genesis flood covered the whole of the earth).[16] In response, old Earth creationists cite verses in the Bible where the words "whole" and "all" clearly require a contextual interpretation.[17][18] Old Earth creationists generally believe that the human race was localised around the Middle East at the time of the Genesis flood,[19] a position which is in conflict with the Out of Africa theory.
The idea is that Noah's flood was a local event restricted to where humans were living at the time. There was no need to flood everywhere else. It falls flat with the assumption that all humans were living somewhere in the Middle East but at least they weren't supposed to be living there with dinosaurs.
On the other hand, the owner of the website says this -
Evolution - The Bible Taught It First!
Quote:As a progressive creationist, I do not believe in evolution. However, it is a valid belief system, and Theistic Evolutionists are free to believe it if they choose. After all, it may be the correct theory, and we cannot be dogmatic in our condemnation of it.
The article goes on to show that the Bible can be interpreted to support evolution. He finishes with -
Quote:The Scripture references for the creation of plants and animals seem to support evolutionary theory better than it does fiat creation. As you can plainly see, evolution is not contrary to the creation account, and Christians should feel free to believe in evolution if they so choose...you have a better leg to stand on than the young earth creationists do! God Bless!
