NOAH: Did He Live During The Neolithic Period?
Introduction Compelling evidence showed Adam existed 60,000 years ago. Our remaining hominid cousins, Neanderthal and Denisovan, went extinct by 30,000 to 20,000 years ago because of competition and interbreeding with Homo sapiens. According to biblical scholars, one of Adam’s descendants, Noah, the last patriarch of Genesis, built an ark and witnessed the destructive power of the Great Flood in around 2400BC. The scholars measured the timeline of Noah’s existence to be in about 1000 Anno Mundo (AM). However, putting Noah’s [...]
NOAH: Could his Legend be True?
Introduction To estimate when Noah lived based on Genesis, we have to use the timeline of the Tanakh.

ADAM OF THE BIBLE: Does he exist?
Introduction In my previous blog, I mentioned the controversy between Biblical creationism and the study of evolution that had raged for decades. The critical figure is Adam. In the Bible, the story of Adam is the central issue of creationism. The Bible claimed Adam was the first man, as he and all life on earth appeared simultaneously. The earliest undisputed evidence of life on earth dates from at least 3.5 billion years ago to those who believe in evolution. [...]
CREATIONISM OR EVOLUTION: Can Both Be Right?
Introduction Biblical creationism and the study of evolution have been a controversial debate for decades. Creationism argues that faith should take precedent over science, basing its understanding on religious beliefs. Evolutionists believe that the earth is much older than what the Bible describes and that plants, animals, and humans result from a natural progression called evolution.
