Evolution versus “deaf, dumb and blind” believers in Earth being only 6,000 years old, Pat Robertson
Summary: Numerous sciences support the biblical account of creation. History, culture and the greatest of men of intellect and character also support creation and a chronology of 6,000 years.
Pat Robertson of the 700 Club said on TV, “you have to be deaf, dumb and blind to think that this Earth that we live in only has 6,000 years of existence.” He might be right if he meant inorganic rocks when “earth was without form” in Genesis 1:2 before God created according to the rest of the chapter.
But if Robertson meant life on earth existed many thousands or millions of years ago, Robertson may be ignorant—either uninformed or ignoring evidence from numerous branches of science, as well as the best historical records we have, the Bible and the witness of Christ.
1. Astronomy: “May 5, 2000: The date that Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will line up with the sun and moon—the first time in 6,000 years.” TIME Magazine, Jan 17, 2000. This quote from the European edition supports biblical chronology dating the Creation (when God put “lights in the sky for signs and seasons,” Genesis 1:14) to 4,000 years BC.
2. Sir Isaac Newton, one of the greatest intellects of all times, known for his laws of physics and development of calculus, was also an excellent student of Scripture. His chronology of the Bible puts the earth at 6,000 years after Creation on the same year as the above factoid from TIME.
3. Archeology is a science and findings in the Mesopotamia support Genesis as a factual book of history by finding references to Abraham’s grandfather, Eber, from which we get the word Hebrew.
4. Anthropology supports the biblical account of the creation week because cultures worldwide have observed a 7-day week from antiquity, and many languages refer to the 7th day as sabbath, shabbat, sabado or similar.
5. Geology supports the Flood in Genesis as a basis for glaciers and ice at the poles and Grand Canyon phenomena. For more, the reader may browse the Creation-Evolution Encyclopedia online.
6. Genesis was written by Moses, a credible source of law as the central sculpture over the Supreme Court entrance suggests. Would we expect Moses who wrote “You shall not bear a false witness” to write a fictional account of the Flood or of Creation?
7. What about the 4th Commandment which says, “in six days the LORD made heaven and earth…” and gave us the 7th day as a memorial of His creative act. Do we think Christ knew better and He just went along with a Jewish thing to observe the Sabbath that the Jews kept?
8. Abraham Lincoln wrote, “In regard to the great book…It is the best gift God has given to man. But for it, we would not know right from wrong. I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all of this book upon reason that you can and the rest by faith, and you will live and die a better man.”
Dr. Florence Stratemeyer, Professor of Education at Columbia University’s Teacher College reviewed Ellen White’s book, “Education” and eulogized her insights on a balanced curriculum to address the whole person, body, mind and spirit. The book’s chapter on Science and the Bible supports harmony of science rightly interpreted with the biblical account and shows serious problems with evolution, pg 130. Having done homeschooling, Education is the best basic support for it that I know. (see online)
Dr. Richard Ruhling attended a conference in DC with hundreds of scientists who believe the biblical account of Creation.

Only those living during Christianity’s 1’400 year reign of terror, where if you disagreed the world was anything other than that prescribed by their state enforced thought and belief intolerant dictatorship, would have earned you a death sentence. Christianity as held the world in check for over a thousand years. But since the past couple hundred years it’s not been a death penalty for disagreeing we went from horse and carts to men on the moon, from having to transport things overland to 3d printers that can print anything and everything you could imagine.
There is no denying things change/evolve over time including us.
Christians should understand those “Dark Ages” when the papal church dominated the Old World Order. Now the US is making a New World Order and thinks it will be different, but the harlot of Rome will ride and guide the New World Order beast (Rev 17) as so many Catholic countries will support it in the UN.
We also recognize micro-evolution–like so many kinds of dogs, but one “kind” of animal cannot evolve into another kind.
Macro evolution is identical to micro evolution, but over a longer period of time. Humans are members of the ape family, we share a common ancestor with all other members of the ape family. Makes no difference to the truth if you recognise it or not.
You appear to be justifying your belief by vilifying others. A typical dirty political trick of tacky politicians with no positive point to raise.
Denying evolution is on a par with denying Earth has an atmosphere and only proves you are suffering from an extremely bad case of ‘blind eye’.
Did you know that our dna today has evolved/changed to the point where the people living 2’000 years ago are as far removed from our own dna, as theirs is to Neanderthal man? No I don’t suppose you do, you’ve probably never picked up a science book or read a science journal in your entire life. Ignorance is only bliss to you, for everyone else it’s like dealing with a juvenile delinquent.
Dr. Antony Flew, famed atheist, when he came to appreciate the complexity of the DNA molecule, changed his view of atheism to accept God as the the best alternative.
Dr. Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ, visited hundreds of college campuses and talked with many professors, some of whom could not bring themselves to believe in such a book of myths as the Bible. But on closer questioning, most them were embarrassed about the simplest questions about it and confessed that they were not ready to accept the moral obligation that belief in Scripture meant.
On the other hand, Wayne Carlson, an atheist was dying of cancer and told his brother, a chaplain, that in the end, life doesn’t make much sense if there is no God. He had a change of mind, which is what the Bible calls repentance.
With so much information today, no one knows more than 1% of it, so don’t be so sure that God isn’t lurking in the 99% that you don’t know.
