@theshadow @theducktator

thx for praying! It ended up being warmer than predicted, plus it sprinkled for five minutes then got sunny. One single (not ours) capsized, but the guy got back in and finished the race. Last, I think, but he finished.

One of our boats got second in a race, not sure about the others. This was the first time those…[Read more]

I’m just gonna say it and the banish myself from this topic

@theducktator

My dad says that there are a lot of generations skipped in those genealogies, and that they only recorded the more important people, so that’s why he doesn’t think that they are a very accurate way to calculate the age of humanity.

The Bible doesn’t say ‘and there were man…[Read more]

@theducktator

That’s an interesting perspective.

@theducktator glad I could be of assistance!!

@theducktator

I don’t care too much either way. It’s not important to the Gospel or to proving the Bible.

The Bible implies a young Earth but doesn’t explain it outright. The Earth scientifically looks like it’s old but there are inconsistencies.

Jonas pointed out starlight. God wanted the lights to appear on the fourth day. Could the fourth…[Read more]

young-earth creationist.

@theducktator

Old-earth. There just seems to be too much scientific evidence that this is the case. (For example, the stars are millions to billions of light years away, so in order for the light to have reached us, the universe has to be at least that old, or God created the light already in transit, which seems weird–it’s not like he’s on a…[Read more]

@theducktator

I’m a young-earth creationist.

@theducktator

Ah, this question.

I believe in a young earth, both scientifically and personally.

What is amazing to me is looking back at what we can figure out of how the Earth formed, and how that aligns with Scripture if you let Earth be young (Genesis 1 is shockingly scientific, so to speak).

(Plus, the Geologic record…there are some…[Read more]

@theducktator

An interesting thing that my dad talked to me about is the possibility of the creation of a world with the appearence of age.

It seems that Adam and Eve were created adults. Did they have belly buttons? Weird question. But even if they didn’t, modern scientists probably could look at them (in an imaginary universe where imaginary…[Read more]

@theducktator

If young earth means not billions of years, then yeah—young earther. We used to have a Jewish calender app thing on the family tablet, and it calcualted all the years and generations and stuff up until now. According to the calculations that that thing did, the earth is only about five to six thousand years old. Fifty or sixty g…[Read more]

@theducktator Young (~6-7 thousand), but it’s cause there is scientific evidence that the Great Flood laid down a lot of the rock layers, “speeding up” the age data. Some are from before, but the majority of them are from during or afterward.

of course, that goes into the whole local or global thing. Personally I believe it had to be global as th…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @stephie @theducktator @ellette-giselle @keilah-h

Chapter 30 out!

@whalekeeper

How old is Mel, by the way?

Imma say 8 for this role play, but im actually not sure.

@theducktator

yayy fellow night owl

@whalekeeper Sure, Barnes can find Mel. And then Ayla can maybe meet up once @theducktator is feeling better?

@theducktator

Thank you!

@hybridlore

I will probably be there, although I could only stay an hour because of something at 4:30.

@theducktator I’m going to add a second character in a few minutes, so if you want, there’s someone Ayla can meet

@grcr

Awesome!

@mineralizedwritings

Yay! If you could shoot me an email at hybridlore079@gmail.com then I will have yours.

@theducktator

Okay! Sorry you’re sick 😟

@theducktator @loopylin @grcr @elishavet-pidyon @ellette-giselle

@ellette-giselle

Okay, sure. Anyone is welcome to help with the feedback portion even if they don’t want to participate in the writing.

@grcr

Great!

@hybridlore

Okay!

@highscribeofaetherium

Of course you will. You didn’t have a choice!

@rae

Sounds good!

@koshka

An outline would be purely optional, and for anyone who does make one, i…[Read more]
