Subject: RE: A matter of trust?(Or why YEC persists)
As an excersize in creativity and just for fun (not for seriousness),
Shuan prsented the following challenge:
>>>Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the
earth. 13Thou didst divide the sea by thy might; thou didst break the heads
of the dragons on the waters. 14Thou didst crush the heads of Leviathan,
thou didst give him as food for the creatures of the wilderness. 15Thou
didst cleave open springs and brooks; thou didst dry up ever-flowing
streams. 16Thine is the day, thine also the night; thou hast established the
luminaries and the sun. 17Thou hast fixed all the bounds of the earth; thou
hast made summer and winter. (Psalms 74:12-17)
I have a feeling that there will be few calls for a concordist
interpretation of this passage! <<<
Well lets see, god did divide the sea with continental drift (many times)
and he did break the head of the reptilian dragons of the Cretaceous era by
dropping the Chicxulub meteor onto their heads which of course gave them
(their carcasses) as food for the few survivors. The meteor also 'cleaved
open' a big hole allowing groundwaters to escape in the form of springs.
Most of us do believe that God created the luminaries and the sun as well as
summer and winter.
Voila!! a concordistic interpretation!!! :-)

Don: Cute Glenn. It almost works. Not to get too serious. I think he was
referring to the Red Sea. :) In either case, I actually wanted to address
the Chicxulub meteor. My question: Although I agree with the fact that a
meteor of this size might destroy all larger land animals, how would boiled
and/or irradiated sea water discriminate between the fish that survived and
the water dinosaurs?
