The 6,000s (Part 9: The Conclusion)

When right-side-up is rejected, upside-down follows.  One of God’s signs of approaching and even imminent judgment—such as in the days of Noah—is when wickedness reaches maturity.  You will know judgment is approaching when good is called evil and as a result of rejecting righteousness, the overall spirit of devastating confusion begins to reign.  Isaiah 5:20-23:

20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:

23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!

Consider the initial fruits of evolution—the ultimate god of confusion. Man is left in an upside-down conundrum.  How does he find the answers to life’s four basic questions:

1. Where did I come from?

Evolution’s answer: Billions of years ago, there was an explosion out of basically nothing, and all the wonders of the earth, its lifeforms and its universe, evolved as a product of time and chance—just an accident.  You personally slithered out of a mysterious, primordial soup.

God’s answer: You were made by God in His own image and likeness, just over 6,000 years ago.  Our grandfather, Adam, was a genius upon genius and not a grunting caveman.  (Genesis 1:26-27)  

2. Who am I?

Evolution’s answer: You are a soulless animal seeking self-gratification—as animals do—and the furthest extension of animal evolution. 

God’s answer: You have been made in the image and likeness of God, and as He breathed up your nostrils, you became a living soul. 

Because of Adam and Eve’s sin, man’s soul was sold into sin.  Man needed someone to buy him back from Satan’s spirit of darkness, thus Jesus Christ, the Redeemer—the Saviour of the soul.  (Genesis 2:7, Luke 1:68-79)

3. What is my purpose?

Evolution’s answer: Self-gratification, including the hot pursuit of procreation.

God’s answer: In contrast, your purpose as a born-again child of God is to glorify God in your life and to bring the ministry of reconciliation to the lost sons and daughters of Adam. (John 3:16, II Corinthians 5:18)

 4. Where am I going?

Evolution’s answer: You are going nowhere! When you die, it’s the end. 

God’s answer: Your end will be eternal, glorious life in Christ if you have been born a second time—or eternity in the lake of fire if you have rejected Christ. 

Could the contrast be any more dramatic?  If you have yet to be born again as Jesus declares in John 3:3, then you are living upside-down and your situation will end very badly.  You won’t know whether you’re a boy or a girl, whether to marry a man or a woman—or your dog—or what clothes to wear, or bathroom to use.  Confusion of face will be your portion and on your deathbed, dread and despair will prevail. 

But you can change your prospects from darkness to Light in just mere moments.  Will today be your day of salvation?  Will today be the day all your sin and shame are erased and all of Satan’s bondages broken?  John 3:3:

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

GOD SAID, Exodus 20:11:

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

GOD SAID, Genesis 5:1-6:

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:

4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:

GOD SAID, Genesis 7:1-4:

1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

MAN SAID: I’ve got all the answers and I don’t need (or want) God.  And, by the way, leave me alone! I’m trying to find myself!

This is the conclusion of the series dubbed “The 6,000s.”  Here, GodSaidManSaid has established the earth to be just over 6,000 years old, as calculated via the book of Genesis and onward in the majority-text Holy Bible.  Archaeology says yes.  Ancient societal records say yes.  Paleontology and microbiology say yes.  Ancient historians say yes.  Animal husbandry says yes.  Genetics and geology say yes.  All say yes!    

According to Bishop Ussher’s excellent chronology of the earth, written in the 1600s, God began the creation process on Sunday eve, September 21, 4004 BC; that date is according to the Gregorian calendar used today.  Evolution, the god of the academics and their fake-news counterparts, disagree vociferously. When today’s research is presented, unmassaged by evolution’s theories that are spawned in the deceivableness of unrighteousness, you will see young.   After 14+ billion years of evo-time, isn’t it a shock to you that today’s certified research shouts 6,000?  That’s just 0.000004% of proposed time!  How did all these great happenings get clumped into such a short period of time? 

There is no time beyond 6,023 years because the earth, its universe, and all of its lifeforms simply did not exist.  Keep an eye on the numbers as we conclude this series. 

Over 60 young earth measurements are catalogued in this series and this is surely not exhaustive, for the number of testimonies of YOUNG are innumerable.   Highlights from the series follow in rapid fashion:

📍 Just over 6,000 years ago, famed ancient historian Flavius Josephus reports that Seth, the first man Adam’s son, left behind two pillars upon which he left a written record.  Josephus reported that these pillars remained in the land of Siriad in his day, nearly 2,000 years ago. 

📍 According to ScienceMag.org, fairy tales still in circulation today are between 2,500 and 6,000 years old. 

📍 According to Science News, 5,000 to 3,000 years ago, “witnessed the rise of metalworking, writing systems, and other signature features of urban civilizations.” 

📍 Also cited in Science News, the nomadic Yamnaya people reshaped central and northern European DNA beginning about 5,100 years ago, speaking an Indo-European language spawning more than 400 languages.  Both groups were surprised at the findings.  Think Tower of Babel. 

📍 Skeptics challenge Noah’s flood with statements like: “If all this water fell from the sky, flooding the whole earth, where is the water?”  Columbia University researchers report that ocean levels were once 400 feet lower than they are today.  If the earth were as smooth as a ball, it is calculated that the waters would be nearly two miles high above it.  The claimed “missing” waters are here.  As you continue on, keep in mind that according to Bishop Ussher, Noah and his entourage boarded the ark on Sunday, December 7, 2349 BC.  (I believe that date is from the Julian calendar.)

📍 In an article in The Smithsonian written by James Trefil, under the heading, “Evidence for a Flood,” he reports on the research of Columbia University geologists Ryan and Pitman.  Trefil reports on the research that claims that antediluvian “ocean levels were about 400 feet lower than they are today” and that “the east coast of the United States was 75 to 150 miles farther out than it is today, and places like Manhattan and Baltimore would have been inland cities.” [End of quotes]

📍 Geologist Dr. Timothy Clarey reviews the latest research that absolutely certifies a global flood.  The headline of his feature published in the March 2017 issue of Acts and Facts reads, “South America Shows the Flood Progression.”  Excerpts follow:

New research confirms that the Flood recorded in Genesis was global.  It also reflects the exact step-by-step Biblical account of the floodwaters’ progression. 

In previous articles, I described ICR’s Column Project, a research initiative in which we are building a database of stratigraphic columns from across the world.  At that point, we’d only completed North America and Africa, compiling stratigraphic information for more than 1,100 boreholes—oil wellbores, outcrops, cores, cross-sections, and seismic data—over these two great landmasses. 

Most recently, we’ve added 404 columns across South America, giving a total of over 1,500 compiled stratigraphic columns from around the world.  This report describes some of the results of that study and gives compelling confirmation of the Biblical Flood account described in Genesis 7. 

📍 The following information is quoted from the November 2007 issue of Discover magazine under the title, “Did a Comet Cause the Great Flood?”  This story reviews discoveries made by environmental archaeologist Bruce Masse of Los Alamos National Laboratory.

Masse’s biggest idea is that some 5,000 years ago, a 3-mile-wide ball of rock and ice swung around the sun and smashed into the ocean off the coast of Madagascar.  The ensuing cataclysm sent a series of 600-foot-high tsunamis crashing against the world’s coastlines and injected plumes of superheated water vapor and aerosol particulates into the atmosphere.  Within hours, the infusion of heat and moisture blasted its way into jet streams and spawned superhurricanes that pummeled the other side of the planet.  For about a week, material ejected into the atmosphere plunged the world into darkness.  All told, up to 80 percent of the world’s population may have perished, making it the single most lethal event in history.  [End of quote]

Masse is getting close, but he is still short of the correct assessment. Note the dating: “…some 5,000 years ago.” 

📍 Ancient Chinese accounts of their beginnings speak of a catastrophic flood that threatened the heavens from which a Noah-like hero emerges.  This hero is God’s conduit for the salvation of mankind. This event, according to the publications listed below, happened some 4,000 years ago.

Headline, August, 4, 2016, New York Times: “Scientific Evidence of Flood May Give Credence to Legend of China’s First Dynasty.”  Headline, August 5, 2016, UK Telegraph: “First Evidence of Legendary China Flood May Rewrite History.”  Headline, August 4, 2016, Washington Post: “Legends Say China Began in a Great Flood.  Scientists Just Found Evidence that the Flood Was Real.”  Headline, August 4, 2016, ScienceMag.org: “Massive Flood May Have Led to China’s Earliest Empire.” 

The flood in the days of Noah took place approximately 4,367 years ago.

📍 The headline in the March 2, 2019 issue of Science News reads: “Pandas Didn’t Always Stick to Bamboo.”  The subhead, “Specialized diet may have emerged in the last 5,000 years.”

📍 Carter and Lightner report in the spring 2016 issue of Creation Research Society Quarterly:

Evolutionists place a timeframe of when “Mitochondrial Eve” lived by assuming common ancestry between humans and chimps and the evolutionary timescale.  However, when measured mutation rates in mitochondrial DNA were used, “Eve” was calculated to have lived around 6,000 years ago.  Of course, the evolutionists do not accept this timeframe, so they have sought ways around the implications.  More recent in-depth analysis of mitochondrial DNA has upheld this Biblical timeframe from humans and found the same pattern in other organisms as well.

Both secular and creationist researchers have employed the empirical method of developing genetic clocks and have achieved similar outcomes—i.e., dates of creature origins well within the Biblical timeframe of 6,000 years.  This research has involved the genetic analysis of humans, fruit flies, water fleas, and roundworms. 

A massive new genetic study by secular scientists analyzed the DNA of over 100,000 animal species using about five million DNA sequences.  Researchers at the Rockefeller University and the University of Basel found that the amount of DNA variation among humans was about the same as that observed for each of the many animal species they studied.  They also discovered that each kind of creature was genetically distinct—having clear genetic boundaries. 

When the researchers extrapolated this data into the timeframes of origins, they discovered that about 90% of all animal life was roughly the same, very recent age—a complete contradiction of evolutionary expectations. 

📍 The title on NIA.NIH.gov reads, “Life Expectancy of the Human Race.”  Several excerpts follow:

Members of the human race now average about 18,000 mutations/replication-errors in their DNA.  It is estimated that when members of the human race reach an average of 21,000 mutations/replication-errors in their DNA, the human race will be at CRITICAL MASS and will NO LONGER be able to procreate/reproduce at survival levels and will quickly go extinct. [End of quote]

Harmful mutations and replication-errors are occurring at a rate of 3,000 per 1,000 years.  When the number reaches 21,000—which the writer calls critical mass—life as we know it is over.  Stem-to-stern, mankind will have existed for 7,000 years. 

If so, and if many evangelical Christians are reading the Scriptures correctly, the return of Jesus Christ in the clouds to receive His church unto Himself is very close, and shortly after follows the battle of Armageddon.  After Armageddon, Jesus Christ sets up His 1,000-year reign upon the earth. Shortly after that, the end of all time occurs.  6,000 + 1,000 = 7,000.  Is science once again knocking at the door? [End of quotes]

📍 Ann Gibbons writes in the January 2, 1998 issue of Science, in a feature titled “Calibrating the Mitochondrial Clock:”

Regardless of the cause, evolutionists are most concerned about the effect of a faster mutation rate.  For example, researchers have calculated that the “mitochondrial Eve”—the woman whose mtDNA was ancestral to that in all living people—lived 100,000 to 200,000 years ago in Africa.  Using the new clock, she would be a mere 6,000 years old.  [End of quote]

📍 In the October 2017 issue of Discover magazine, you’ll find the following under “20 Things You Didn’t Know about Animal Domestication:”

🐔 Chicken domestication dates back 4,000 years or so.

🐎 Domesticated horses date to 5,500 years ago.

🐈 Cats were domesticated in 4,400 BC. 

🐑 Sheep, goats, pigs, and humpless cattle were domesticated under 10,500 years ago.

Some of the numbers are inflated, but you get the idea—all of a sudden.

📍 Pigeons were domesticated 5,000 years ago. 

📍 The oldest-known plague occurred about 5,700 years ago, according to the January 19, 2019 issue of Science News. 

📍 The November 9, 2019 headline of Science News reads: “Burials Reveal Bronze Age Inequality.”  A paragraph follows:

Families working the land in ancient Europe also cultivated social inequality. A pecking order of “haves” and “have-nots” living in the same household appeared among Bronze Age farmers by about 4,000 years ago, a study suggests. 

📍 Geologist Dr. Andrew Snelling writes in volume 2 of Earth’s Catastrophic Past:

Now several experimental determinations of the helium leakage (diffusion) rate from zircons of several different rock units, including this Precambrian granitic rock, are available and are in agreement.  These experimental measurements all showed that helium diffuses so rapidly out of zircon crystals that it should have all but disappeared after about 100,000 years.  Because the uranium-lead radioisotope decay system indicates that originally there would have been 1.5 billion years’ worth of helium generated in these zircon crystals, the amounts of helium left in them should have long since leaked out.  The measured amounts of retained helium in these zircon crystals, combined with the measured diffusion rate of helium from zircon, can be used to calculate their helium diffusion age.  Indeed, there is so much helium still left in these zircons that, based on the measured rate of helium diffusion from zircons, these zircon crystals have an average helium diffusion age of only 6,000 (±2,000) years.  [End of quote]

📍 The headline in the November 2014 feature of Acts and Facts, written by Jeffrey Tomkins, who holds his Ph.D. in genetics from Clemson University, reads, “Genetic Entropy Points to a Young Earth.”  Excerpts from the feature follow:

When scientists typically evaluate human genetic history, they incorporate hypothetical deep-time scales taken from evolutionary paleontology to calibrate their models of DNA change over time.  In other words, they assume millions of years and literally build deep time into their models.  In contrast, these new studies use demographic models of human populations over known historical time and geographical space.  The resulting data showed a very recent, massive burst of human genetic diversification—mostly associated with genetic entropy.  One author stated, “The maximum likelihood time for accelerated growth was 5,115 years ago.”  This places the beginning of the period of genetic decline close to the Genesis Flood, when the earth began its repopulation through Noah’s family and humans rapidly diversified. 

Amazingly, this recent explosion of human genome variation, mostly associated with genetic entropy, also fits the same pattern of human life expectancy rapidly declining after the Flood as recorded in the Bible. [End of quotes]

📍 The headline in the December 29, 2012 issue of Science News reads, “Human diversity’s recent explosion.”  The subhead reads, “Most genetic variation came about in last 5,000 years.” 

📍 Now consider this headline from the May 2013 issue of Acts and Facts: “Is Mankind Getting Dumber?”  Several paragraphs written by science writer Brian Thomas follow:

Do today’s children have lower IQ’s than yesterday’s?  Yes, according to measurements of intellectual and emotional strength gathered from different countries and contexts.  The results show the same basic decline and resist the notion that public or other forms of education are to blame.  Could the cause instead lie within? 

Stanford University professor Gerald Crabtree thinks so.  He published a pair of essays in the journal Trends in Genetics, citing new discoveries that show why the human intellect is “surprisingly fragile.” 

Each new generation accrues about 60 new mutations to the gene-coding DNA regions of the human genome.  Crabtree applied this rate to calculate that “every 20-50 generations we should sustain a mutation in one copy of one of our many ID genes.”  As a result, “in the past 3,000 years the n(~120 generations), each of us should have accumulated at the very least 2.5-6 mutations in ID genes.”  Accordingly, the human intellect “perhaps reached a peak 2,000 to 6,000 years ago.” [End of quote]

Six thousand years ago, God created Adam in His own likeness and image, and said he was “very good.” 

If the earth and its universe are just over 6,000 years old, where does evolution’s billions of years come from?  The following paragraph is from the GodSaidManSaid feature, “More 6,000-Year-Old Earth:”

Standard dating techniques that are used to generate millions and billions of years of purported earth history are not only built on the hugely false premise of uniformitarianism, but their data is being turned upside-down regularly.  The following news release titled “Radioactive Dating Warning” was published in the periodical Creation, December 2005.  The information was garnered from the January 2005 issue of Geology:

Geologists from the UK and the USA recently warned of new “pitfalls” with radioactive dating.  The team was led by Jon Davidson of the University of Durham, and used equipment with improved measurement precision.  They found that the basic assumptions behind one widely-used and highly-regarded method (mineral isochron) are “invalid in many instances.”  Further, they found the standard tests geologists use to check the quality of the radioactive dating results could not be relied upon.  [End of quotes]

Establishing the Bible’s inerrancy in Genesis concerning the age of the earth in the face of Satan’s blistering attacks is a very important exercise.  I need to know it is true.  Everything depends upon it.  If the book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, and all its miraculous events are true, then I can be confident in the rest of God’s beautiful Book.

📖 That means John 3:16 is true:   

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

📖 That means Romans 10:10 is true:

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

📖 That means John 11:25-26 is true:

25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:

26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?

The conclusion is: God’s Word is true and righteous altogether—a place to build a life that will last forever. 

GOD SAID, Exodus 20:11:

For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

GOD SAID, Genesis 5:1-6:

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:

4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:

GOD SAID, Genesis 7:1-4:

1 And the LORD said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.

2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

3 Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

4 For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain upon the earth forty days and forty nights; and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.

MAN SAID: I’ve got all the answers and I don’t need (or want) God.  And, by the way, leave me alone! I’m trying to find myself!

Now you have THE RECORD.
