You people are morons to think the earth is only 6000 to 10000 years old. Just because you're too stupid to understand, or too lazy to find out the truth about, scientific FACT, doesn't make it untrue. Give me one iota of SCIENTIFIC truth concerning the existence of a god and maybe I'll revise my views, otherwise shut your mouths about knowing the truth—a concept that is obviously over your puny minds, as is abstract thought.
Hello,
I’m going to get right to the point. At Answers in Genesis, we have dealt with these same questions literally hundreds of times in many books, videos, magazine and website articles, emails, and conferences. You say we are unscientific, but we have documented over 190 scientists who have accepted the biblical account of creation and written extensively on the differences between operational science and historical science.
You say we are “too stupid to
understand, or too lazy to find out the truth about,
scientific FACT,
” but for
five years we have published the Answers Research
Journal, a professional, peer-reviewed journal with
quality scholarship and scientific research. You think
us “morons
” to believe the Bible’s
historical record of the earth’s age, but have you
carefully and rationally considered all the
scientific arguments presented on our site?
You call for “one iota of
SCIENTIFIC truth concerning the existence of a god
,”
but if I point out the miracle of
human conception and birth, would you admit that we
are “fearfully and wonderfully made
”
(Psalm
139:14)? Probably not. Or look at your hand
(or any other part of your body), which is a witness to
the Creator’s brilliance, power, and love. The most
sophisticated artificial hand made by the smartest
scientists is not even worth comparing to the hands God
made. But you probably won’t accept that scientific fact
either, because you are rejecting the truth in
unrighteousness, just as the apostle Paul said (Romans
1:18–20).
You also criticize us as having “puny
minds,
” but have you ever scientifically studied the
Bible’s
fulfilled prophecies or considered the impossibility
of 40 or so different authors from three continents in
three languages writing 66 individual books (that we now
call the Bible) over a period of 1,600 years in perfect
agreement and unison? The hate-filled, unscientific
attitude of your email suggests that you have not
carefully weighed any evidence.
Your problem is not intellectual or scientific, but
rather moral and spiritual. You have a heart disease
called sin. Blinded by the god of this world (i.e.,
Satan; see
2 Corinthians 4:4), you are “willingly
ignorant
” (2
Peter 3:5) of all truths concerning God. You
see evidence only in light of an
irrational atheistic worldview and try to explain
away the inconsistencies and logical fallacies resulting
from that worldview. If we present you with the miracle
of the
hearing ear, you would probably say, “Given enough
time, it could have arisen by blind-chance evolution.”
If we present you with the
difficulties of radiometric dating, you would most
likely reply that “young-earth creationists are
unscientific.” Even if I could show you God, the answer
would be something like, “It’s an alien.” Be serious: if
God showed up on your doorstep tomorrow, would you get
on your knees, repent of your sins against God, and
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God who
died on the Cross for your sins and rose from the dead?
Every indication is that you would deny that truth also.
Some people will consider my statements to be unfair characterizations, but I am informed by the Bible, which is more authoritative on human nature than any pronouncements by scientists (although we are certainly not against science). And in the Bible, I read how the Israelites saw God do many amazing miracles, deliver them from Egypt with powerful judgments and plagues, miraculously provide water and food in the desert, and lead them with a cloud by day and fire by night—yet they still hardened their hearts over and over again in stubborn rebellion.
For the nation of Israel, it did not matter how many
times God showed His power and glory or how many times
God revealed Himself; they still rejected Him. You call
for “one iota of SCIENTIFIC truth
concerning the existence of a god
,” but Scripture
states, “If they hear not Moses and
the prophets
[i.e., the Old Testament portion of the
Word of God]“, neither will they be
persuaded, though one rose from the dead
” (Luke
16:31, KJV). With a heart in rebellion
against God, the sinful human nature will continually
discard any evidences for God, whether they are
historical, miraculous, or scientific. History displays
this.
From a heart of compassion that cares about your
eternal destiny, I beg of you: don’t follow the
historical precedent and tradition that blindly rejects
Christ, but please carefully consider all of the
materials already provided by Answers in Genesis. Most
of all, get into the Bible and see the beauty of the
person and Cross of Jesus—who took your pride, your
lust, and, indeed, all of your sins in His own body as
payment for the wrath of God against your disobedience.
His shed blood cleanses us “from
all sin
” (1
John 1:7) and His Resurrection guarantees
eternal life with Him. Trust the Lord Jesus Christ as
your Savior today. The very God you reject was rejected
for you so that you could be reconciled to him (2
Corinthians 5:21).
Sincerely,
Nathan Ham
