God's Dominion Mandate & Antediluvian Population projections
Reasonable Projections
The following antediluvian population projections can be corroborated from the book, “The Flood,” by Arthur Rehwinkle, pp. 28-32 available through Internet Archive
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden
Things to consider in God's decree to the first couple on earth:
- It was given to a married couple: Adam & Eve
- Man was intended by God to fill the earth. The fruit of the womb is his reward--Ps. 127:3 (Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward)
- Fruitfulness, and therefore multiplication of the human race, was to be accomplished by man within the covenant of marriage NOT outside it. The phallic symbol of the obelisk is a direct attack on marriage--life through sex outside marriage. When men refuse to ackknowledge this truth, their blessings will be diminshed, while clarity of purpose becomes blurred.
- Replenish carries with it the idea of replacing what is taken. Man is not to rape the land for his own gratification, but rather understand the mutual interconnectedness of one living thing with that of another. In short, man is to be a caretaker or steward of God's resources.
- Subdue carries with it the idea of collaboration, invention, innovation, and a mutual respect for the existing habitat man may find himself in. It suggests working with what you are confronted with by either improving the situation, or complementing and augmenting the existing terrain or structure(s).
radiocarbon dating methods cannot be used!
Sunset Crater, AZ, potassium-argon dated @ 200,000+ Y.O. Reality: 1065 A.D.
Just as William Libby founder of C-14 Dating, pioneers in radiometric age determination have also engaged in assumption, a flaw of the uniformitarian mindset. When assumptions in science are proved to be false by repeatable experimentation or real-life observation, they cease to be science.
Mt. St. Helens 1980 eruption @ 2.8 M.Y.O., really!
Potassium-argon employed the following assumptions:
- The rock started out with the absence of any daughter element contained within. Natural processes, such as water moving through permeable rock (hydrologic percolation) can introduce or eliminate elements within the rock. This argument, therefore is flawed.
- All the daughter element is due to radioactive decay. Was the scientist dating this rock present when the rock was formed? How does the scientist know that radioactive decay could not have added further elements to a rock already possessing daughter element(s).
- The sample was always in a closed environment. What about water, thermal heat, rain, tectonic activity? Can you rule out these natural occurances?
- The decay rate has always been constant. Uniformitarians assume things have always remained the same . . . Really! Were they there?
