The Ipuwer Papyrus And The Exodus, Anne Habermehl Jul 2018

The Ipuwer Papyrus And The Exodus, Anne Habermehl

Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism

Controversy surrounds the Ipuwer Papyrus, an Egyptian manuscript residing in the Dutch National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden, Netherlands. On the one side are those who claim that this manuscript describes chaotic conditions in Egypt at the time of the biblical Exodus. On the other side are those who deny this on the basis of disbelief that the Exodus ever took place, or who claim that the date of the events described in the manuscript are wrong for the Exodus. In this paper we show that this ancient document most likely describes Exodus conditions; and that the Ipuwer Papyrus therefore …


Exegetical Analysis Of Psalm 104:8 And Its Possible Implications For Interpreting The Geological Record, William D. Barrick Jul 2018

Exegetical Analysis Of Psalm 104:8 And Its Possible Implications For Interpreting The Geological Record, William D. Barrick

Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism

This paper performs a detailed exegesis of Psalm 104:8 and its context (Psalm 104:5–10) in the original Hebrew to identify the timing and nature of the events about which the psalmist writes. The exegetical analysis includes the text’s poetic structure and devices, as well as its grammar and vocabulary. That interpretive process results in some significant implications. The analysis of Psalm 104:8 in its context supports a possible reference to a global cataclysmic Flood. Therefore, the psalmist’s declaration that “The mountains rose; the valleys sank down” might correspond with tectonic activity during and after the Flood. “To the place which …


Man, Machine, Scientific Models And Creation Science, Steven M. Gollmer Jul 2018

Man, Machine, Scientific Models And Creation Science, Steven M. Gollmer

Proceedings of the International Conference on Creationism

Historically, physics was the most quantitative of the sciences. Geologists and biologists built their models based on observation, categorization and generalization. This distinction between qualitative and quantitative sciences prompted the quote attributed to Ernest Rutherford that “All science is either physics or stamp collecting.” In the intervening 80 years all sciences have exploded in the use of quantitative measures to find patterns and trends in data. A review of a half-century of creationist literature shows that this transition has not been lost to the creationist community.

As this trend continues to accelerate, two areas of caution need to be taken …
