if it were true that day one condition existed untill the time of the flood you would also have to accept then that there were no annimals at the time of the flood either..???

Day 2&3 the condition that existed on day one with the earth stanind in and out of the waters does not exist anymore .!? PETER CHARLTON <peter.nambo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Sorry Allen, Iam not sure what you are saying? The way I see 2nd Peter 3 is that its likening the last days before Christs 2nd coming, as to the last days of the pre-flood world at the time of Noah, nothing to do with creation, but that the waters where still above the firmanent until used by God to bring destruction upon a world of ungodly men. 2PET 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 2PET 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 2PET 3:5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 2PET 3:6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: So I cannot see the point you are making about contridicting the Genisis accouint?, I consider it supports the Genisis accouint of the waters that where above the firmanent untill the day God used them to bring the flood.

A water mantle being in place one minute, then falling to Earth would account for the very many animals, mammoths and the like, that have been found frozen solid, but fresh enough to eat when thawed, with green grass still in thier mouths, something happened instantly to turn warm grasslands into frozen wastes before flesh even had a chance to decay. Likewise the remains of tropical rainforests beneath the ice caps. The first appearence of a rainbow after the flood when presumably the light from the sun would have appeared differantly, no longer passing through a water canopy. The change in the lifetime of man from around 900 years old, to around 120 being now exposed to the full radiation spectrum of the sun, no longer shielded by a water canopy. Iam unfamiliar with the expanding earth theory so will look this up and see if said model can explain the above points, better than the Biblical given account. Pete
