Let There Be no Doubt: Summation of Summations #2 (The Genesis Series, Part 56)

Let there be no doubt: The truth of the children of God reigns far above man’s analytic machinations.  God’s truth sits in heavenly places…even on the right hand of God…and God’s Truth is a person.  Jesus declares this principle in John 14:6:

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The Truth of the blood-bought, this King of Glory, is not of this world.  He is the life truth, inerrant and marvelous, and without equal in the entirety of all, and yes, He is not of this world.  The Truth created the world and its universe and all the laws governing them, and is not subject to them.

This principle of dominant, outer-worldly truth is first realized by the redeemed at the place Jesus calls BORN AGAIN.  The child of God knows he has been BORN AGAIN, but not because he has received the right hand of fellowship from a congregation or because he has a certificate of baptism—that’s not how he knows.  The revelation of heavenly family is not of this world, and therefore real Truth is not subject to natural mental analysis…no, it is only spiritually discerned.  Romans 8:16:

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:

The truth of the redeemed is of a supernatural nature and it reigns supreme over all the world’s analytic machinations.  It is true.

Dear visitor, have you yet to meet this Truth?  In just a few moments, I will invite you to follow me in a simple prompt, and if you follow from your heart, you will be BORN AGAIN—literally born a second time, this time of the Spirit of God. 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.

Today…all your sin and shame will be washed away by Christ’s cleansing blood.  Today…all of Satan’s bondages will be broken, every single one, and the bigger the better.  Today… you will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free. Here is the prompt I promised: Click onto Further with Jesus for childlike instructions and immediate entry into the Kingdom of God.  NOW FOR TODAY’S SUBJECT.

GOD SAID, Genesis 2:22:

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

GOD SAID, Genesis 2:24:

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.  

GOD SAID, Genesis 3:14:

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

MAN SAID: If God authored the Bible, where are all the God-inspired truths in His first book, Genesis? There isn’t any!

Now THE RECORD: Welcome to GodSaidManSaid feature 1276 that will once again certify the perfect inerrancy of God’s supernatural and beautiful Book, miracles and all.  All of these features are archived here in text and streaming audio. Their calling and purpose is of an eternal nature.  Every Thursday eve, God willing, they grow by one. 

Thank you for visiting.  Prepare yourself for staggering and marvelous Truth.

You have arrived at the GodSaidManSaid “Genesis Series;” this is Part 56.  Each of these features begins with the following information from the first feature:

According to a 2006 issue of Discover magazine concerning the deceased Carl Sagan: “Sagan approaches religion like any phenomenon.  He isn’t on a quest for life’s meaning, for a comforting philosophy, or even a guide to how we should treat the neighbors.  Sagan seeks truth of a demonstrable kind.  As a puckish example, he wonders why the book of Genesis didn’t include God-inspired truths…” [End of quote]

The BORN AGAIN scratch their heads in bewilderment.  Did these folks actually read the book of Genesis?

For the first 45 features of the Genesis Series, we poured through reams of information, boiling it all down to a manageable weekly presentation.  From there, it took us nine weeks of summations, boiling these 45 features down even more.  And now, we are in the second of the final three weeks of “summation of summations,” where we will render the original content into powerful soundbites.  God-inspired truths stacked. 

FEATURE #16

66. Genesis 2:22: And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

A rib?  Why a rib?  Do societal records and science confirm?
God had taken a man''s rib and out of it made a woman, which was much more stupendous than cloning. From this rib, God formed a brand-new personage—a female, man''s counterpart—who had the ability to reproduce and nourish a new member of the human family. But it was with a rib. And, by the way, here is where we have the first use of general anesthesia—used by God.

67.Why a rib? For one thing, when bone grafting is necessary, one''s own rib is the most likely candidate to contribute, as the rib is full of bone marrow. Plus, if the rib is removed properly, it will regrow. Bone marrow is a spongy tissue found inside bones, but super power-filled bones such as the breastbone, skull, hips, spine, and ribs actually contain stem cells that manufacture the body''s red and white blood cells. God chose a rib.
The November 3, 2012 issue of Science News is back inside the female brain.  The title reads, “Male DNA found in Female Brains.”  Excerpts follow:

Not only is male DNA present in women’s brains, it’s common, researchers report online September 26 in PLOS ONE.  J. Lee Nelson of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle and her colleagues found snippets of a male-only gene in the brains of 18 to 26 women who died without neurological disease.  The male DNA was spread throughout their brains.

What’s interesting is how the DNA could have gotten there.  Male cells from a fetus could have broken through the blood-brain barrier—a wall that protects the fragile brain from pathogens in the blood.  But that shouldn’t be possible, Johnson says.  [End of quote]

Male DNA in the female brain?  Johnson said, “But that shouldn’t be possible.” 

They’re flummoxed.  What is this male DNA found in the brain and throughout the female body?  Would any in science dare to suggest Adam’s rib? That, of course, is what Eve was made from.

68. Dr. McCoy, author of Scripture Insights from Science and Archaeology writes:

Genesis chapters one and two.  Creation account.  The Sumerian creation account on six tablets known as the Enuma elish “when on high” dates to about 2500 BC.  [Editor’s note: The Sumerian account precedes the writing of Genesis.]

One tablet describes the creation of a woman who is named Nin ti in Sumerian, translated as “the lady of the rib” and “the lady who make live.”  Thus, well before Moses, these concepts were known. [End of quotes]

God chose a rib, just like Genesis says. 

FEATURE #17

69. Genesis 2:24: Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

A man shall cleave to his wife.  Oxford English Dictionary defines cleave in this context as “to stick fast or adhere, as by a glutinous surface.”  Glued together is what cleave means.  Today’s science inadvertently affirms the absolute biological accuracy of this ancient declaration, an insight that only the Creator Himself could know.

70. As the man cleaves unto his wife, a marvelous biological union is transpiring that typically ends in an infant--a new member of the human race, with 23 chromosomes from the mother and 23 from the father—the ultimate one flesh.  Here the man becomes a father, the woman becomes a mother, and they become a family—Mr. and Mrs. Adam.

71. Feature writer for the AFA Journal, Ed Vitagliano published an article in the October 2010 issue titled, "Bonded in the brain, New science confirms biblical view of sex." Several excerpts follow:

This is laid out in fascinating detail in Hooked: New Science on How Casual Sex Is Affecting Our Children, written by Joe S. McIlhaney Jr. and Freda McKissic Bush. Both are obstetrician- gynecologists who have served on the Presidential Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS. [End of quote]

The article continues to discuss science’s new discoveries concerning specific neurochemicals that directly affect sexual urges such as dopamine, oxytocin, and vasopressin:

It is easy to see that God has provided neurochemical "help" to married couples in order to make the marital bond strong and thus provide a secure and stable environment for the raising of children.

The dopamine "rush" during sex keeps a husband and wife coming back for more—helping to cement the relationship. And oxytocin and vasopressin make the bond even deeper.

This bonding power of sex, insisted McIlhaney and Bush, "is real and almost like the adhesive effect of glue."  [End of quote]

72. Six-thousand-plus years ago, God’s Word says cleave and one flesh and today’s science says YES, it actually happens just like the Bible says!

FEATURE #18

73. If the first encounter with evil comes in the form of a serpent, we should expect to find this ensign deeply imbedded in this world’s fallen condition—and we certainly do. 

The great dragon, the old serpent, is everywhere.  Jesus Christ speaks of Pergamos in Revelation 12:12-13 as “Satan’s seat,” the place where “Satan dwelleth.” 

74. The central, false deity of Pergamos was the sun-divinity worshipped under the form of Asklepios Soter, which means “the man-instructing serpent and savior.”

We see Satan taking on the form of the serpent in the Garden of Eden.  This man-instructing serpent instructs our great-grandmother in Genesis 3:1-6.

75. Source: Gty.org, “Pergamos: The Church of Satan’s Throne:”

In the city of Pergamos was a medical school.  And this was a famous place of medicine.  And the emblem or the idol of Asklepios was a snake.  If you have ever seen the medical symbol, you will notice that, in the middle of a medical symbol, winding down its way around the pole, is a snake – that is the ancient god Asklepios, the god of healing.

76. The excerpt, from Snakes: A Natural History:

According to a story found in both Greek and Roman mythology, Hermes (or Mercury), the god of travelers and commerce, found two sparring snakes.  He separated them with a stick, around which the reconciled reptiles coiled themselves.  A symbol of peace, which later became the caduceus, and then the emblem of the medical profession, was thus created.

77. The world is polluted with the ensign of the devil.  Source: English.ohmynews.com, “Hindus worship Snake God on July 30:”

On “Naag Puja” (Snake Worship Day), also known as “Naag Panchami,” on July 30, doors of many houses are decorated by a poster of Naag, the snake god.

Today, the poster of Naag is worshipped with vermilion powder, flower, sacred grass (dubo) and pasted in the door with cow dung, not by glue.  Cow dung is considered as pure, unlike paste.  The poster is then splashed with cow’s milk because milk is the food of snakes.

On this day, all Hindus clean their house and splash cow urine (holy water) all around the house.  Then, the poster of Naag is pasted first at the top of the main door, and the other doors of the room also. [End of quote] 

78. When one arrives at the house of faith, he or she is greeted by the Word of God and His Christ.  When one arrives at the cathedrals (museums and universities) of the anti-Bible people, he or she is greeted by a dinosaur, a dragon—their Goliath—a symbol of their organized rebellion against the credibility of God and His Bible.  Should it then be any surprise to you that Satan – the enemy of the cross of Christ – is known as the old serpent and great dragon?

FEATURE #19

79. Satan—Lucifer—wants to be like God.  God is a living Word God. (Isaiah 14:12-14) Satan is fully aware that God spoke all things into existence with His Words of perfect knowledge and intent. Satan is aware that John 1:1 reads, …and the Word was God.  To be like God, Satan must change God’s Words.  The late Dr. Henry Morris, founder of the world-acclaimed Institute for Creation Research, had this to say in the commentary of The Henry Morris Study Bible:

Satan’s sin led him to desire to be as God, and this was the desire he placed in Eve’s mind.  In fact, when one questions or changes the Word of God, he is, for all practical purposes, making himself to be “god.”  [End of quote]

From cradle to grave, the medium is words.  Even eternal salvation is a product of God’s Words and is sealed with ours. Romans 10:8-10.

80. There are four forces that are foundational to physics, and the most powerful of these forces is aptly named “the Strong Force.”  This mysterious and invisible force holds all things together, molecules to man.  Without this undetectable Strong Force, all things would simply go *poof!* and disappear.  This force is shrouded in mystery to carnal academia, but couldn’t be more known to the Sunday Schooled.  This force is the invisible Words of God. Hebrews 1:3 identifies this mysterious Strong Force:

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power,

81. Now science has concluded that energy—which is made up of photons from the sun—actually creates matter. Further, it is even theorized that science will soon discover that words of intent, laden with wisdom and knowledge, create energy—light.  When they prove their theory, they will find the children of the Holy Book have been there all along.  The Bible clearly states that words of intent, laden with wisdom and knowledge, precede the entrance of light, which is photons, and energy.   Genesis 1:3: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
The child of God must know that it is entirely a word issue and consequently there is nothing more important than my copy of the Word of God. 

82. The NIV (New International Version) was originally published in the 1970s and is currently the most popular of today’s modern versions.  It has 55,168 less words than the AKJV.  The New King James version has 12,707 less words; the English Standard Version has 25,698 less words; and the New American Standard Bible has 322 less words than the Authorized King James Version of the Holy Bible.  That should be eye-opening. The modern translations have omitted entire verses of the Holy Bible, and partially truncated others.

FEATURE #20

83.  The dreadful law of sin and death follows a specific pattern, which was established in Genesis through an act of unbelief and disobedience.  mtDNA Eve believes Satan’s words over God’s, eats of the forbidden fruit, and gives it to Y-Chromosome Adam, who also eats.  That very day, they died according to the dire warning given by God in Genesis 2:17:

But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

84. There are two deaths man must encounter:  The first death is physical; the second is spiritual in nature.  The first death is pretty self-explanatory:  Your body physically dies. The second death occurs when one is spiritually dead, dead unto God and beyond His mercy and grace.  (Revelation 21:7-8)
It certainly appears Adam and Eve died the second death first:  For example, after eating of the tree, Adam lived another 930 years before dying the first death. 

85. The very definition of “sin” is established in Genesis: The absence of faith in God’s Word.  The pattern is established in Genesis Chapter Three.  Romans 14:23 defines sin:

for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. 

86. Adam and Eve had opened wide the door to the law of sin and death.  For the first time, man would experience deadly life-shortening traits and tendencies including:

🍑Unbelief;
🍑 Shame;
🍑 Fear;
🍑 The accusatory finger;
🍑 Anxiety;
🍑 Uncertainty;
🍑 Danger;
🍑 Stress;
🍑 Sickness;
🍑 Pain;
🍑 Suffering;
🍑 Sorrow;
🍑 Lust;
🍑 Lies;
🍑 Robbery;
🍑 Slothfulness;
🍑 Covetousness;
🍑 Bitterness;
🍑 Unforgiveness;
🍑 Hate;
🍑 Murder;
🍑 Rape;
🍑 Adultery;
🍑 Fornication;
🍑 Homosexuality;
🍑 Confusion of face (Daniel 9:7-8); and
🍑 Death.  

87. The day they ate, Adam and Eve could not pass on the immortality they lost to their progeny.  All of their offspring would be spiritually stillborn.  Ephesians 2:1:

And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins:

88. We were dead in trespasses and sins! The only solution for man was to be BORN AGAIN—born a second time, this time of the Spirit of God.  We were sold by our parents under sin.  Romans 7:14:

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.  

We needed a redeemer to buy us back. BORN AGAIN, what a marvelous and glorious solution!

FEATURE #21

89. Genesis 3:14-15: And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
This feature addresses the curse that befell the serpent because of the part it played in the fall of man.

90. From the October 11, 1997 edition of The International Jerusalem Post comes the following excerpt:

A midrash about Adam and Eve now has scientific support: Hebrew University researchers have found evidence that prehistoric snakes had tiny legs.

According to Jewish tradition, the snake that tempted Eve to disobey God was punished by being forced to crawl on its belly forever.

91. Fox News headline, July 24, 2015, “Unexpected Step: Snake ancestor had four feet.”  A paragraph follows:

The oldest snake fossil on record looks almost like a modern snake, except for one glaring difference: It has four feet, each with five digits, a new study finds. 

92. The article from the September 1988 issue of Creation magazine headlined with “Snakes Do Eat Dust!” Carl Wieland writes:

Snakes do deliberately and purposely eat and lick dust.  There is an organ in the roof of a snake’s mouth called the “Jacobson organ.”  This helps the snake to smell in addition to its nose.

The snake, just like Genesis says.

FEATURE #22

93. Life’s pattern is established in Genesis, God’s first book of the Bible.  Adam and Eve were not knuckle-dragging, ignorant, grunting cave dwellers.  The first humans were genius upon genius and possessed very sophisticated skills. When archaeology digs and ancient historians report, man is found to be very sophisticated from the start—a sophistication that soundly contradicts the evolutionary paradigm proposed by today’s academics.  You’ll find the following in Dr. Donald Chittick’s book, The Puzzle of Ancient Man:

For the past thirty years, there has been a steadily increasing number of historical and archaeological discoveries made at various sites around the world, which, because of their mysterious and highly controversial nature, have been classified as “out-of-place” artifacts—thus the name OOPArts.  The reason for this designation is that they are found in geological strata where they shouldn’t be, and their sudden appearance in these layers of ancient dirt has baffled the minds of many a trained scientific observer.

94. Genesis 4:21 tells us the father figure of music was Jubal:

And his brother''s name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.

His name, Jubal, means “horn” or “ram’s horn,” which was blown to announce the Jewish jubilee.  The Oxford English Dictionary says this of “jubilee:” orig., it seems, “ram,” hence “ram’s horn” used as a trumpet, with which the jubilee year was proclaimed.  Jubilee is obviously rooted in the name of the father of the harp and organ, Jubal. 

95. Regarding Genesis 4, Dr. Chittick writes in The Puzzle of Ancient Man:

“Jubal was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.” Music was clearly a part of the culture as indicated by mention of both stringed and wind instruments.  Archaeologists have uncovered musical instruments from very ancient times.  Some of these ancient instruments are not crude or “primitive” but are highly crafted.  Even with our modern technology, we do not know how these ancient instruments might be improved to make better music.  Evidence indicates that music itself is very ancient.  

96. From The Antiquities of the Jews:

Of those children by Ada, one was Jabal; he erected tents, and loved the life of a shepherd.  But Jubal, who was born of the same mother with him, exercised himself in music; and invented the psaltery and the harp.  

All the patterns of life are established in Genesis, God’s first book of the Bible.

FEATURE #23

97. Genesis 5:5: And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
Many critics of the Bible, being unaware of the benefits of the pre-Flood water canopy described in Genesis Chapter 1, boldly ridicule the nearly 1,000-year lifespans reported in Genesis.  The average pre-Noah lifespan was 912 years, or 13 times longer than we live today. Imagine living in a perfect tropical atmosphere: perfect air, perfect water, perfect diet, without harmful effects from the sun. The obvious result would be a long, long, healthy life — 13 times longer. The famed historian Flavius Josephus, who wrote just after Christ’s life here on the earth, recorded the life span of the ancients reaching up to 1,000 years. He refers directly to ancient historians such as Manetho, Berosus, Mockus, Hestiaeus, Hieronymus, Hesiod, Hecataeus, Hellanicus, Acusilaus, Ephorus, and Nicolaus, who attest to these phenomenal life spans.
Consider the present-day Chinese Iguana that grows as large as 12 feet long. Suppose before the flood, in a near perfect environment, the iguana would have lived 13 times longer, and because it never stops growing, would become 13 times bigger. That Chinese Iguana would be 156 feet long and about three stories tall. Dinosaur — terrible lizard. The dinosaur is simply a giant lizard which was created by God in the same six-day span as man.

98. The headline in the March/April 2015 issue of Psychology Today reads, “Tinkering with Mortality.”  A paragraph follows:

The prospect of such treatments has energized a more radical group of thinkers, including Aubrey deGray, controversial chief science officer of SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence), who has suggested that, as we engineer aging out of our very cells, some people born today may live 1,000 years. 

99. Did humans live an average of 912 years before the flood?  Of course the answer is YES!

Feature #24

100. Genesis 6:3: And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.

Some suggest that the “120 years” referenced does not deal with lifespan, but rather with ark preparations and preaching to the lost.  However, a plain, childlike reading of the passage clearly refers to the maximum lifespan of man.  Famed Jewish historian Josephus, born a few years after Christ, had this to say of Noah in the history book, Antiquities of the Jews:

and making their years not so many as they formerly lived, but one hundred and twenty only.

101. In Dr. Reginald Cherry’s book, The Bible Cure, the following paragraph is found:

In the early fifties, Leonard Hayflick, a scientist at the University of California, San Francisco, discovered a very interesting thing: All human cells are able to reproduce themselves only a certain number of times. This is estimated to be about fifty cell divisions, which Dr. Hayflick estimated would place the human life at between one hundred fifteen and one hundred twenty years. The life span of humans seems to be set at approximately one hundred twenty years. [End of quote]

FEATURE #25

102. The world’s wise have scoffed at the Bible’s insistence that giants—even entire tribes of giants—once roamed the earth.  The Scriptures reference giants nearly 200 times.  Does secular history support such fantastical claims?  Is there a very clear and credible record?  The simple answer is, “of course there is.”

103. God reminds Israel of their roots in Deuteronomy 3:11:

For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of giants; behold, his bedstead was a bedstead of iron; is it not in Rabbath of the children of Ammon? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man.

Perhaps the first museum was in Rabbath, of the children of Ammon, where Og’s bed remained.  If you use the 18-inch cubit, his bed would be 13½ feet long and 6 feet wide—or, based on the 22-inch cubit, 16½ feet long and 7 feet, four inches wide.  Give him a foot for head and toe clearance, and you have a giant of 12½ to 15½ feet tall!  It is reported that German scholar Gustav Dalmon discovered the bed of the giant king—just where God said it sat. 

104. Flavius Josephus, from The Antiquities of the Jews:

There were till then left the race of giants, who had bodies so large, and countenances so entirely different from other men, that they were surprising to the sight, and terrible to the hearing.  The bones of these men are still shewn to this very day, unlike to any credible relations of other men. [End of quote]

105. According to the research collected by DeLoach, author of the book Giants:

During his principate, Caesar Augustus (27 BC-AD 14) assigned two giants who towered over ten feet tall to lead the Roman armies into battle. “On account of this remarkable height,” writes Pliny, the bodies of the two giants “were preserved in the tomb in Sallust’s Gardens; their names were Pusio and Secundilla.”  [End of quote]

106. Consider a few headlines:

⦁ New York Tribune—February 3, 1909: “Skeleton 15 Feet High Unearthed in Mexico”
⦁ Scientific American—August 14, 1880, Page 106: “Ancient American Giants”
⦁ The Vancouver Sun—August 18, 1922, P.9: “Primitive Man, Ten Feet Tall, Is Unearthed” 

It doesn’t take an inordinate amount of looking to debunk the Bible’s critics.  Giants?  Yes! Just like the Word of God says, beginning with Genesis Chapter 6.

FEATURE #26

107. Genesis 6:4: There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.

For the past ten years, the scientific community has been uncovering ancient, non-human variants in human DNA that have them baffled.  Scientists have concluded that these variants must be the product of ancient humans breeding with a non-human species they have dubbed the “Ghost Species.”  GodSaidManSaid suggests these alien tags in human DNA are the remnants of the fallen sons of God in Genesis Chapter 6.

108. The ancient historian Flavius Josephus was born just a few years after Christ, and he writes in his book The Antiquities of the Jews about the fallen sons of God:

…for many angels of God accompanied with women, and begat sons that proved unjust, and despisers of all that was good, on account of the confidence they had in their own strength, for the tradition is that these men did what resembled the acts of those whom the Grecians call giants. [End of quote]

109. Scientists are perplexed at what they are discovering.  Several recent headlines follow:

⦁ July 25, 2017, NZHerald.com: “Ancient Humans Had Sex with Non-Humans.” 
⦁July 7, 2017, IFLScience.com: “This Tooth Once Belonged to a Member of a Mysterious Species of Humans that We Know Almost Nothing About.”
⦁July 21, 2017, Buffalo.edu: “In Saliva, Clues to a ‘Ghost Species’ of Ancient Human.”
⦁July 24, 2017, FoxNews.com: “Scientists Find Possible Clue to Ancient ‘Ghost Species’ of Human.”
⦁July 2013, NationalGeographic.com: “The Case of the Missing Ancestor.”  Subhead, “DNA from a cave in Russia adds a mysterious new member to the human family.” 

110. As you read on, keep in mind that there were giants and these giants were the offspring of the fallen sons of God.  The June 29, 2021 headline from CBSNews.com reads, “Massive ‘Dragon Man’ Skull Found in China Might be a New Human Evolutionary Branch.” 

111. Ancient-Origins.net headlined, “‘Dragon Man’ Skull Found in China may be Another New Human Species” on June 25, 2021.  Excerpts follow:

The standout characteristic of the skull is its size.  It is the largest hominin skull ever discovered.  But overall, the shape and contours of its face resemble that of an impossibly large human being.  The skull’s brain cavity is also similar in size to that of a modern human.

“It’s got such an interesting combination of features,” Stringer noted. “The morphology shows that this is definitely a distinct lineage in eastern Asia. It’s not Neanderthal and it’s not Homo sapiens, it’s something quite distinct.  

112. After reading the reports above, one would rightfully wonder why not a single report invoked the dreaded word giant or fallen sons of God.  Those who presume to be our teachers and are schooling our children are obviously lacking schooling themselves—as in Sunday schooling.  The puzzlement gives way to a clear, absolute YES! when your childlike faith in God’s Word is exercised.

113. Historians, geologists, ancient societal records, archaeologists, anthropologists, paleontologists, biologists, and certainly Jesus Christ, His Old Testament prophets and New Testament apostles and disciples all testify to Noah and the ark…just like Genesis says.

114. According to Bishop Ussher’s meticulous chronology recorded in his book The Annals of the World, written in the 1600s, Noah boarded the ark on Sunday, December 2,349 BC.

115. Concerning societal records, Dr. Andrew Snelling records the following in his book, The Genesis Flood Revisited:

Some estimates go as high as more than 80,000 Flood accounts in some seventy languages describing a cataclysmic deluge, more than 80 percent of them mentioning a large vessel that saved the human race from extinction. 

116. The following excerpts are from The Big Argument: Does God Exist?

Typical are the many American Indian Flood traditions, such as the Navajo Flood that “covered the first world” because the world grew extremely sinful, especially with sexual sins.  Regarding the Great Flood, Warshofsky notes that an account similar to the “biblical account of a great, universal flood is part of the mythology and legend of almost every culture on earth.”  

117. Forget the word “legend” as you read the following headlines:

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

118. Headline, Jerusalem Post, November 1, 2023: “New Research Might Point to Location, Remains of Noah’s Ark.”  A paragraph follows:

The location of Noah’s Ark might soon be identified, a group of archaeologists have suggested as they unearthed geological formations in Turkey that bear a striking resemblance to a colossal ship.

FEATURE #28

119. Dr. Andrew Snelling, a geologist of serious stature, wrote in his book, The Genesis Flood Revisited:

There can thus be no doubt that under such conditions during the Flood, as the torrential rains fell and the ocean waters surged to inundate the land surfaces, burial and fossilization of myriads of animals and plants en masse was guaranteed.  Whereas burial and fossilization of even a single animal or plant is an exceedingly rare happenstance, the abundance of fossils preserved in the geologic record, often in massive numbers in what have aptly been called fossil graveyards, is unmistakable, powerful testimony to the destructive effects of the watery cataclysm described in the Scriptures.

120. Eighty whale skeletons have been unearthed in the Peruvian desert.

121. In his book Dragons of the Deep, Carl Weiland writes the following concerning the Shoshone Mountain Reptile, a sea monster known as shonisaurus:

The location in which shonisaurus fossils came to light is interesting, too.  The Shoshone Mountains of Nevada are in the middle of the desert.  Yet 36 shonisaurus fossils were found together there, at an altitude of over 7,000 feet (2,134 m).  [End of quote]

Sea monsters in Nevada?

122. The marine fossil crinoid (a sea lily) was found embedded in limestone on top of Mount Everest.  

123. The headline in the July/August 2022 issue of Acts & Facts reads “Asia Data Confirms Progressive Global Flood.”  Excerpts follow:

We have now accumulated column data across five of the world’s seven continents, with Australia in progress and Antarctica in the future.  Our results reinforce earlier findings of a progressive global Flood.

After examining the rock record across five continents, we can now be more assured than ever that there was a global Flood as described in Genesis.  The rocks don’t lie! [End of quote]

PS: They have just finished their research in Australia and again the results say YES to Noah. 

FEATURE #29

124. When data measurements are made void of evolutionary hallucinations, the results are a Genesis young earth and its universe. Dr. Roger Gallup, a highly credentialed geologist and marine scientist, authored the book Evolution—The Greatest Deception in Modern History.  Several excerpts addressing radioisotope dating follow:

Many people believe that radioisotope techniques (such methods as carbon-14, uranium-lead, potassium-argon, and rubidium-strontium) are generally in agreement and the earth is millions of years old.  However, the reality is these various techniques produce results that don’t agree with known dates or each other (discordant) and don’t agree with stratigraphic or fossil studies (discrepant). 

 125. Some examples Dr. Gallup gives include:

Mt. Ngauruhoe of New Zealand erupted in 1949, 1954, and 1975, but potassium-argon dating ranges from 270,000 years to 3.5 million years, rubidium-strontium dating at 133 million years, samarium-neodymium at 197 million years, and lead-lead at 3,908 million years.  If these dating processes were accurate, these radioisotope ages should indicate recent eruptions with ages of less than 50 years. 

126. And:

Mt. St. Helens, Washington, erupted in 1980, but potassium-argon dating provides an age of about 2.8 million years.  If the dating processes were accurate, then the radioisotope age should be about 15 years (date of analysis in 1995 minus 1980).

127. In the book The Puzzle of Ancient Man, author Dr. Chittick quotes Ann Gibbons as she wrote in the January 2, 1998 issue of Science:

Regardless of the cause, evolutionists are most concerned about the effect of a faster mutation rate.  For example, researchers have calculated that "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]

FEATURE #30

128. Genesis 8:4: And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

Is it Ararat, or is it Africa?

129. Popular consensus says that the earth’s people had their beginning in Africa, but Science News (June 24, 2017) says “not so fast.”  That feature headline reads, “Hominid Roots May Go Back to Europe.”

130. The headline from Breaking Israel News, June 22, 2017 reads, “Mummy DNA May Prove Ancient Egyptians Descended from Ham, the Son of Noah Exactly as Bible Describes.”  The subject line of that feature says, “DNA study of mummies indicates ancient Egyptians descended from Biblical Ham.”

Noah and family, which including Ham, landed on the mountains of Ararat. 

131. What genetic researchers are discovering is that Noah’s son Ham populated Egypt, even as the Scriptures record.  Psalm 105:23:

Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.   

The Bible is the ultimate history book, and it says Ararat, not Africa.

Genesis, one God-inspired truth after another.  Next week, God willing, will conclude the summation of summations.  Surely, God’s Word is true and righteous altogether…a place to build a life that will last forever.

GOD SAID, Genesis 2:22:

And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

GOD SAID, Genesis 2:24:

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 

GOD SAID, Genesis 3:14:

And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

MAN SAID: If God authored the Bible, where are all the God-inspired truths in His first book, Genesis? There isn’t any!

 

Now you have THE RECORD.
