Thought for Today

Thought for Today:

It seems that when Mt. Saint Helens blew its top in 1980,
a marvelous laboratory was instantly created to study the
rapid formation of geologic changes. The mountain's
glacier-covered summit was turned into a torrent of water
and mud that produced a micro-catastrophe of Biblical
proportions.

One observation is very encouraging to those who take the
straight-forward Biblical account of Creation seriously. Quoting
Dr. John D. Morris:
"Many features which geologists are taught take long ages
to form, were seen to happen rapidly. Igneous rocks which
formed since 1980 yield radioisotope dates of millions of
years, but are obviously much younger in age. A catchy
slogan helps illustrate this. To form geologic features, it
either takes a little bit of water and a long time, or a lot of
water and a short time...Biblically compatible time scale,
such as a Flood can account for the features we see on
earth, features which many geologists mistake for evidence
of great age. Earth doesn't really look old, it looks flooded."

Romans 3:4 comes to mind: "Let God be true, but every man a
liar." As Dr. Morris observes: "We don't try to prove the Bible.
It doesn't need our help. The Bible just needs to be believed
and obeyed. Yet the more we learn, the more we see just how
accurate it is."

Glory to the Lord Jesus, Creator & Sustainer of all (Col 1:16-17).
