  4. Nonliteral Interpretations of Creation

  5. Theistic Evolution • A mixture of the Bible and evolution • Tries to interpret biblical statements to support evolution as God’s method of creation

  6. Day-Age Theory(Long-Day Theory) • Holds that the seven days in Genesis 1 were long periods of time or ages

  7. Progressive Creationism • Holds that the earth is millions of years old and that at particular moments in time, God created new creatures

  8. Framework Hypothesis • Tries to interpret Genesis in a literary light

  15. Reasons for a Universal Flood • The covenant of the rainbow • Genesis 9:11-15 • The continental shelves and seamounts

  16. Reasons for a Universal Flood • Universality of the fossil record • The waters covered the mountains to over 20 feet. • Fossils have been found on mountaintops.

  17. Reasons for a Universal Flood • The duration of the Flood was over a year. • If the Flood was local, the ark would have been unnecessary.

  18. Fossil Lasting evidence of a once-living organism Fossilization The formation of fossils

  19. Types of Fossils • Preservation of parts • Preservation of carbon (coal) • Preservation of forms • Preservation of tracks • Petrification • Freezing

  20. The Deluge & Fossilization • The Flood described in Genesis 6-9 is referred to as the deluge.

  21. The Deluge & Fossilization • Sedimentation • laying down of materials • Sedimentary rock • layers of rock deposits

  22. The Deluge & Fossilization • Evolutionists propose fossil formation by many smaller catastrophes. • Suggest that fossils are a progressive record

  23. Support for the Deluge-Fossilization Theory • Abundant fossilization is not taking place today. • Fossil arrangement & abundance • Polystrate fossils

  24. Support for the Deluge-Fossilization Theory • Fossilization must be rapid. • Most fossils required water for formation.
