1. Creationist Site of Interest
http://s8int.com/WordPress/
Lots of intriguing articles concerning the existence of
giants, sophistication of ancient "cave" men, dinosaurs,
recent age of the earth, etc.
2. The Brit-Am DNA Contribution to
Creationism
DNA Sequencing Reversed
http://www.britam.org/DNA/YDNAreverse.html
DNA Theory is based on Evolution.
Evolution is taken as a given fact.
The DNA sequence is "scientifically" explained as "progressing" from the primitive Bushman to the Africans to Asia and culminating in Europe.
The explanation works more or less. It allows for a conceptual plot in which all
known facts may be apportioned their own spot in the overall pattern even though numerous
anomalies exist.
The Brit-Am Explanation eliminates the need for Evolutionary Theory, shows (if
anything) that the "Bushman" and African derived from the "white man", and fits the facts
better eliminating most of the difficulties that the conventional scheme contains.
The Brit-Am DNA Explanation however needs to be put in a technical DNA
framework.
There are people with a good Scientific background amongst the Creationists who
could do this.
3. Was the Deluge World-Wide?
Question:
I AM GLAD YOU ARE BACK!
My question is this:
Several of my Sabbath-keeping friends adhere to the opinion that the FLOOD in Genesis was not global, but only in the Asian / Israel area.
(I may not have quoted their opinion exactly since I do not adhere to it,
nor have I studied it, but you get the comparison of which I am asking.)
Archeologist research of which I have read suggests by facts unearthed that the FLOOD was complete over all the whole earth.
What do you say?

Brit-Am Answer:
The simple import of scripture is that the Flood covered all the earth.
There is a Midrash indicating that the Area of the Land of Israel was
not flooded. This could indicate some areas were not covered only that
all areas were mankind dwelt were. Midrashim however do not have to be taken
literally
and another more deeper message may be intended.
Some say that scientifically there is no way that ALL dry land could have been
covered by water
and that we must understand Scripture as referring to all lands where people
then dwelt.
My personal instinct is to go with the simple meaning of the Bible and assume
that not only were
all areas where people dwelt flooded but that all dry land was covered with
water.
[Genesis 7:19] AND THE WATERS PREVAILED EXCEEDINGLY UPON THE EARTH; AND ALL THE
HIGH HILLS, THAT WERE UNDER THE WHOLE HEAVEN, WERE
COVERED.
[Genesis 7:20] FIFTEEN CUBITS UPWARD DID THE WATERS PREVAIL; AND THE MOUNTAINS
WERE COVERED.
