Avoid Foolish Disputes

This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. But avoid foolish disputes, genealogies, contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and useless.

(Titus 3:8-9) NKJV

There’s a lot of contention among Christians. We think that our take on a doctrine is right, and anyone who doesn’t agree is wrong. It spills out into social media and it makes us all look bad.

Paleodoublespeak

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

(Isaiah 5:20) NKJV

Matty’s Paradigm is a scientific theory of creation and this is the reason why we’re meticulous when defining terms to ensure that our definitions are applied consistently. It’s an ongoing process of refinement.

Extensive Glaciation in Southern Hemisphere

From whose womb comes the ice? And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth? The waters harden like stone, And the surface of the deep is frozen.

(Job 38:29-30) NKJV

Creationists don’t seem to grasp the concept that Noah’s flood and Peleg’s tectonics are separate events, and they don’t seem to have a coherent answer to the question: “where did the flood waters go?“

Uplift in Appalachian Geosyncline

Comparison of Earth before and after Peleg's tectonics.

The mountains quake before Him, The hills melt, And the earth heaves at His presence, Yes, the world and all who dwell in it.

(Nahum 1:5) NKJV

“Uplift in Appalachian geosyncline” took place when the tectonic plates formed in the time of Peleg. This was 101 years after Noah’s flood. The popular science narrative (SciPop) has millions of years to fill up and so it pads out the narrative by using geographic locations as separate events in time.

Cooler and Drier Climates

My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, Like the streams of the brooks that pass away, Which are dark because of the ice, And into which the snow vanishes. When it is warm, they cease to flow; When it is hot, they vanish from their place.

(Job 6:15-16) NKJV

The paleoenvironments of Periods of the geological timescale are dependent on warm climates, humidity and increased precipitation when they represent the erosion, transportation and deposition of sediment.

The Origin of Abundant Diversification

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

(Isaiah 5:20) NKJV

“Origin of reptiles, diversification of amphibians. Insects abundant.” Here we can see how doublespeak is used to establish the premise that the evolution narrative envisions the development from simple to complex.

Mosses, Lycopods, Sphenopsids

So the Light of Israel will be for a fire, And his Holy One for a flame; It will burn and devour His thorns and his briers in one day. And it will consume the glory of his forest and of his fruitful field, Both soul and body; And they will be as when a sick man wastes away.

(Isaiah 10:17-18) NKJV

“Mosses, lycopods, sphenopsids, ferns, seed ferns and cordaites.” The next part of the description we have of the Pennsylvanian is a laundry list of plant kinds which sounds like an ecosystem or habitat, not a period of time.
