Come as You Are

My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; And ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
(James 2:1-4) KJV

This is a warning that we shouldn’t treat people differently based on the clothing that they’re wearing. It’s talking about a visitor to the church. When did this become the idea that you can wear whatever you want to church because it doesn’t matter?

First Horses

“Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with thunder? Can you frighten him like a locust? His majestic snorting strikes terror. He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He gallops into the clash of arms. He mocks at fear, and is not frightened; Nor does he turn back from the sword. The quiver rattles against him, The glittering spear and javelin. He devours the distance with fierceness and rage; Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded. At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!’ He smells the battle from afar, The thunder of captains and shouting.
(Job 39:19-25) NKJV

In the evolution narrative the appearance of horses is considered to be recent. Very recent, like, why would an animal evolve which is specifically designed to carry humans if there aren’t any humans?

Angiosperm Mass Extinction

You carry them away like a flood; They are like a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up: In the morning it flourishes and grows up; In the evening it is cut down and withers.
(Psalms 90:5-6) NKJV

“Many genera of angiosperms became extinct”. Their habitat got buried in a world-wide flood. The deposits were subsequently buried so deep that there was no way for the seeds to germinate and reach sunlight.

Grasslands Limited

Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
(Matthew 6:30) NKJV

“Grasslands limited“. This is a microcosm of circular reasoning in two words. Whenever the remains of a grassland habitat is found fossilized it’s assigned to something other than the Eocene. The Eocene is the Eocene because it’s the Eocene.

Distinctive Forests

Is it not yet a very little while Till Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, And the fruitful field be esteemed as a forest?
(Isaiah 29:17) NKJV

“Subtropical climates with heavy rainfall supported distinctive forests in northern and southern latitudes.” This is another example of the circular reasoning which lies at the very heart of the geological timescale.

Heavy Rainfall

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.
(Genesis 7:17) NKJV

“Heavy rainfall“. How about that? 40 days and nights to be exact. Some things are so obvious that they can’t be disguised as anything else. Usually Paleodoublespeak is used, this time there’s no reason to.

Lemurs and Birds

For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Hiram. Once every three years the merchant ships came, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and monkeys.
(2 Chronicles 9:21) NKJV

“First lemurs; some modern groups of birds.” Modern is a concept in the evolution narrative. The Paleocene is recent, therefore according to the narrative anything different about it can be called modern. It’s meaningless.

Magnoliaceae, Lauraceae and Juglandaceae

I have seen a wicked, ruthless man, spreading himself like a green laurel tree.
(Psalms 37:35) ESV

“Angiosperms having affinities with Magnoliaceae, Lauraceae, Juglandaceae”. This may seem random but it’s nuanced evolution narrative, you just have to know something about the development of the Angiosperms.

Continued Inundation of Embayments and Synclines

Now the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth.
(Genesis 7:17) NKJV

“Continued inundation of embayments and synclines“. That’s how you describe a world-wide flood without saying the words world-wide flood. This is another phrase to add to our list of Paleodoublespeak terms.

Trend From Temperate Climates to Subtropical

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth, and the windows of the heavens were opened.
(Genesis 7:11) ESV

“Trend from temperate climate to subtropical“. That sounds suspiciously like a way to say that it started raining a lot. “Some seasonal variations“. No kidding. It started raining, then it stopped raining.
