For a more complete answer to last week’s ‘kangaroo
question,’ please see our Education News
this week (below).
Q:
Was there really an ice age?
Quotable
quote: ‘A
religion is essentially an attitude to the world as
a whole.
Thus evolution, for example, may prove as powerful a
principle
to co-ordinate men’s beliefs and hopes as God was in
the
past. Such ideas underlie the various forms of
Rationalism,
the Ethical movement and scientific Humanism.’
‘Humanism:
An outlook that places man and his concerns at the
centre
of interest. Modern Humanism, which does away with
traditional
Christianity, is characterised by its faith in the
power
of human beings to create their own future,
collectively
and personally.’
– Sir Julian
Huxley (Ed.), Growth of Ideas: The evolution of
thought
and knowledge, pp. 99, 336, 1965. |
A: Yes,
there was, although we don’t believe in an ice age
that occurred
over millions of years as the evolutionists teach. We think
the
Ice Age was a consequence of Noah’s Flood.
The Bible tells us that fountains of the deep broke open all
over
the earth at the time of the Flood. This probably means
there was
also considerable volcanic action and continental breakup.
What
would have happened, of course, would be that the Flood
waters were
warmed up by these volcanic explosions. Therefore, you would
have
warm oceans and a cool land towards the end of the Flood.
This would
result in a large amount of water being evaporated into the
atmosphere.
What’s going to happen to it? Because of the tilt
of
the earth, the wind and so on, there would have been great
storms
at the poles, much ice and snow would have formed. Hundreds
of years
after the Flood, we believe that this ice accumulated as the
Ice
Age. Then, as the temperatures of the land and oceans
started to
stabilize, the ice would have started to melt. The answer is
in
Genesis and its account of the Flood!

Education question:
Why are kangaroos only found in Australia?
How did the animals get from remote countries to the Ark?
After
the Flood, did kangaroos hop all the way to Australia? What
did
koalas eat on the way? Find out the answers to these, and
other,
questions in this
week’s article.
For further information:
How
did all those animals fit on Noah’s Ark anyway?
Textbook of the month: Our featured textbook of this
month is Streams
of Civilization.
This history textbook makes up for the secular bias found in
just
about all other textbooks of this kind by offering a comprehensive
overview of ancient history (including creation) through the
1620s
within a Christian perspective!

Praise and Prayer
Please pray over the following items during the next two weeks
…
-
Please continue to lift up AiG’s upcoming transition
to our new offices. We are now just under two months
from relocating
to the new site in Petersburg, Kentucky (west of
Florence, KY,
our current HQ). Although we are very excited about
finally
having all four offices under one roof, there is a lot
of preparation and work still to do. Please pray that
everything
would go smoothly and that we would be back to
full-service
on Wednesday, 8 September (moving starts on Friday, 3
September
and then over the Labor Day weekend).
-
We’d ask that you give special prayer for the
planning
and implementation of more museum banquets (perhaps 12
banquets
in major cities in 2005). This is a very big
undertaking, and
the Lord’s guidance is vital to their success.
-
Another praise! 550 people have already registered for
our
first-ever ‘Creation College’ (in nearby
Indiana—just
a few miles from our new offices). The college starts
this Wednesday!
It’s an intensive training session for creation
speakers
(including prospective ones), researchers and writers.
Pray
that as they leave this ‘college,’ the
participants
will be better equipped to impact their churches and
communities
with the creation/gospel message.
-
Please rejoice with us over the museum support that AiG
has
received over the last few years. This week, we went
over the
halfway mark for museum funding (the goal is $25
million)! Even
though we still have a way to go to fully fund the
museum, God
has met our every need and exceeded many times. To Him
be the
glory!
