A Personal Interpretation of the Creation of the World

A PERSONAL INTERPRETATION OF THE CREATION OF THE WORLD

August 8, 2018

A recently posted article entitled:  Scientist Creates Fake Fossils by Mimicking the Conditions of a Global Flood introduced me to several new ideas and concepts.  Although Adam is named by Luke in the linage of Jesus Christ, Jesus is not recorded as mentioning the name of Adam although He does mention Noah.  Paul mentions both Adam and Eve, and specifically Adam in reference to Jesus as the last Adam, thus Adam could be considered as a Biblical reality.

It has been discussed if the authenticity of:  the Creation story; the garden of Eden; the tree of Good and Evil; the tree of Life; and the creation of Adam and Eve are an actual literal fact or merely allegorical symbols that Moses, supposedly through God, desired for us to know or believe.

For the sake of argument and the principals of this article let’s assume that the book of Genesis is authentic and basically literal.  According to calculations by certain commentators the creation age is presently around 6000 years with the premise that the Sabbath or seventh millennial should begin at any time.

Some doubters may ask:  well what about the dinosaurs and various sub-human ancestral hominids such as Neanderthal man and Cro-Magnon man?  Were they not predecessors to modern man?  Evolutionists, geologists, and archeologists will say that the earth is millions of years old.  That it took vast stretches of time for modern life to evolve.  They claim there was no universal flood but rather eons of time for the mountains, valleys, and layers of the earth to form not to mention the existence of fossils and unearthed bones.

The first book of Enoch is an apocryphal work and is considered part of the Pseudepigrapha which literally means “falsely ascribed” or a collection of works supposedly written by a biblical character.  The book of Jude quotes from the Book of Enoch in verses 14-15, “Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men: See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of his holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him.” 

Even if Enoch wrote the book, its estimated survival would be slim to none unless it was carried on the ark or if Noah and/or Shem recalled the bulk of it by memory to be written down later.  We can be fairly certain that Enoch did not physically write the book with his name.  In like manner did Job write Job, or Ruth write Ruth or Esther write Esther?  If a historian wrote the book of Job from collected stories and memories and it is now accepted as canonical then the same could be said of Enoch.  

Very few people consider Enoch to be Biblical although it could be as accurate an account as Job, Ruth, or Esther.  Again, however, let’s assume that the contents of the book are basically true and thus make a few assumptions.

Enoch

The 6^th chapter of Genesis contains a short record of the sons of God (angelic entities), called Watchers by Enoch, their desire for human women, and the unlawful information that was given to the humans.  The term “Watcher” also appears in Daniel, so all Watchers were not unlawful.  (Dan 4:23 KJV  And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down,)

Genesis 6:4 NET The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after this) when the sons of God were having sexual relations with the daughters of humankind, who gave birth to their children. They were the mighty heroes of old, the famous men.

The phrase “mighty heroes of old” gives credence to the use of ancient stories and myths giving rise to the Greek, Roman, and other concepts of gods and goddesses, titans, and other super-heros.  The Greek and Roman myths also contain many stories and descriptions of chimeras with evidence including statues, and drawings.

Definition of Chimera

a. An organism, organ, or part consisting of two or more tissues of different genetic composition, produced as a result of organ transplant, grafting, or genetic engineering.

b. A gene or protein consisting of parts from two different genes or proteins that are normally distinct, sometimes derived from two different species.

The ancient descriptions of chimeras usually have parts of various animals (i.e. a lion with wings) or part human and part animal such as a centaur (i.e. human torso with body of a horse).  Pan had a human torso and the lower body of a goat or sheep.

Although there is no passage in Enoch with direct information concerning the blending of animals or humans and animals Enoch 7:5 states, “And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish”.  This particular verse is used as evidence by some commentators that DNA modifications were being performed.  Sinning against animals does not imply they ate the animals or had sexual relations with a fish.  It appears to indicate they employed their advanced biological knowledge to experiment with DNA and produced previously uncreated animals and chimeras.

Enoch 7:1-6  1. And all the others together with them took unto themselves wives, and each chose for himself one, and they began to go in unto them and to defile themselves with them, and they taught them charms and enchantments, and the cutting of roots, and made them acquainted with plants. 2. And they became pregnant, and they bare great giants, whose height was three thousand ells (said to be over 8000 feet): 3. Who consumed all the acquisitions of men. And when men could no longer sustain them, 4. the giants turned against them and devoured mankind. 5. And they began to sin against birds, and beasts, and reptiles, and fish, and to devour one another's flesh, and drink the blood. 6. Then the earth laid accusation against the lawless ones.

If the Watchers actually experimented with DNA modification, it is possible that species of dinosaurs, chimeras, and various subhuman types such as tribes of Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon, etc. could have been created/produced and placed in various parts of the world.  Of course, the flood would have killed all these creatures and washed the remains into heaps that are found today in various sections of the world.  Today the archeologists are discovering pieces and parts of these hominids and claiming, through their religion of evolution, to have found remnants of pre-humans.

Fossils

A recent article, that was posted on this blog, (Freedom From Delusion) entitled, Scientist Creates Fake Fossils By Mimicking The Conditions Of A Global Flood describes a scientist inadvertently recreating authentic appearing fossils of buried bones within the confines of current world conditions.  In other words, he used “a process that reproduces perfect fossils by simply adding water, sand, pressure and heat”.  Basically, he “recreated the exact conditions of a global flood (around 5000 years ago), and presto they had their fossils”.

The Bible records all three of these things occurring in the narrative of the Global Flood. A worldwide catastrophe that involved earthquakes, lava flows, tectonic movement and incredible pressures beneath the water.

The quoted article even states that the process was a flop until they happened to copy the conditions that were present during the Global flood verbatim. Then and only then were they able to achieve perfect rapid maturation fossils.

According to the article, unfortunately the researcher did not convince himself there was a universal flood approximately 5000 years ago.  Isaiah 42:19-20 NET My servant is truly blind, my messenger is truly deaf.

If a legitimate fossil can be created in a laboratory using the exact conditions caused by a 5000 year old flood, this could indicate that dinosaurs and sub-human hominids would have lived after creation but prior to the flood of Noah and not millions of years ago.  It is doubtful these aberrations were originally created by God any more than He created giants also called Nephilim, which He did not create.  Their existence could only be the ungodly design of the Watchers or the theory of evolution is true and the first several chapters of Genesis are a succession of metaphoric myths.  Take your pick.

There is a brief account of the Watchers spawning Nephilim with human women, written in Genesis 6.  A much longer account can be found in the first few chapters of the First Book of Enoch along with an account contained in the book of Jubilees.  It is recorded in Enoch and Jubilees that the giants or Nephilim offspring of the Watchers began killing each other as directed and commanded by God.  The Watchers were imprisoned supposedly until the final judgment according to Enoch.  The Nephilim remainder died in the flood but the phrase, “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after this)” continues to be an issue.

According to Dr. Jones, “Since the flood took place in the year 1656, the problem continued in the earth for over a thousand years before they were destroyed by the flood”.

Peter specifies the place of imprisonment as Tartarus and is usually translated as “hell” in most versions which is totally inaccurate.  “Hell” should be the translation of “Hades” which is the abode of the dead in Greek mythology.

2 Peter 2:4 NET For if God did not spare the angels who sinned, but threw them into hell (Tartarus) and locked them up in chains in utter darkness, to be kept until the judgment,

TARTARUS: As a place, it was far below than where Hades resided and it was used as the most horrible prison. Some accounts say that the distance between Tartarus and Hades was the same as between the earth and the heaven. Although the kingdom of Hades was the place of the dead, Tartarus was where ferocious monsters and horrible criminals were banished, or where the gods imprisoned their rivals after a war.  https://www.greekmythology.com/Other_Gods/Tartarus/tartarus.html

Genesis 6:4 tells us, “The Nephilim were on the earth in those days (and also after this)”  Thus the problem occurred again after the flood, resulting in more Nephilim. The “how factor” has been highly debated but no definitive answer has been issued.  The gigantism (not so severe after the flood) spread throughout the region as was evident in the days of Moses and survived even to the time of David who is credited with exterminating the remainder in the area of Canaan.

According to Benjamin Fulford, several of the blue-blood royal families around Europe claim to possess a certain amount of Nephilim DNA.  If that is true then the Nephilim tendency to gigantism has diminished to almost nothing since they are not giants.

Even though Thomas Horn, and his cohorts, at SkywatchTV claim there will be a new outbreak of Nephilim’s in the last days, that will never happen because we are in the last days and our primary tribulation is the Mystery Babylon system with their corrupt leaders and politicians.  Their outrageous book titles are designed to just sell more books.

Final Comments

If the laboratory created fossils prove the earth was created approximately 6000 years ago by human standards then a choice has to be made concerning the dinosaurs.  It can either be claimed that God created the dinosaurs at the same time as all other animals including Adam and Eve or something/someone produced them.  The scant evidence contained in the book of Enoch and Jubilees would appear to point the charge at the vast knowledge of the angelic Watchers.
