[asa] ICR for May, 2007

In the May issue of ICR's Acts and Facts, John Morris quotes from
Newsweek, Nov 3, 1997, where he says Astrophysicist John Bahcall said:
"...the universe's lights, contrary to astronomers' hunches, turned on in
one great burst."

John concludes with glee that this quote supports the "truth that God
created all the heavenly bodies on Day Four of Creation Week." and that
the Big Bang theory was "fizzling."

Below is the main stuff in this issue.

humans?

BACK TO GENESIS 221(c) - Great Turnovers!

The book of Job contains interesting allusions to "overturning" of
mountains and of the earth that, on the surface, appear to have
relevance to geology. One must say "appear," because Biblical
creationists like me can be accused of being overly literal!

BACK TO GENESIS 221(d) - Supernova Shell Shock

They had told us a particular supernova exploded 10,000 years ago.
How then, did the Chinese see it in AD 185? The answer is a case
study in scientific inference.
