THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER

A trip to Carlsbad Caverns, yesterday with my Aunt Faye and Uncle Glenn from Alabama, reminded me of God's awesome handwork.  How could one possibly enter the caverns and not wonder how all those stalactites and stalagmites have gotten there?

There is no doubt, that very question enters each person's mind as they start the walk down into the caverns.  However there are different answers to the question.  As the archaeologist study these formations they can only speculate what took place.  If you read what the archaeologist say, you will read that the caverns were created twenty to forty billion years ago. 

The archaeologist also say, slowly, ever so slowly, all this formation has taken place.  Eventually the channels supplying water from the ocean closed and dried up  Water evaporated faster than it was replaced.   Many things took place and over a period of billions of years we now have the present state of the caverns.

Archaeologist also state that there is no way you can tell the age of the caverns. They continue to speculate and tell people what they think happened, instead of telling them what the bible said happened. 

This raises the question, why are we afraid of the truth?  Is it because if we admit the truth about creation than we must admit the truth about the rest of the scripture? 

If it is true that God created the heavens and the earth, than it's also true that mankind sinned.  We must also believe that Jesus Christ lived and walked upon this earth and that mankind is lost without him.

Satan has tried from the beginning of time to discredit God and to give himself praise.  I chose to believe there is a God and that he was the one that created all this vast beauty.  I chose to believe the account in Genesis about he flood.  For more information on the facts, read the biblical account or go to answersingenesis.com.

Genesis 6

And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.
And God remembered Noah, and every living thing,

and all the cattle that was with him in the ark:

and God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters asswaged;
The fountains also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped,

 and the rain from heaven was restrained;
And the waters returned from off the earth continually:

and after the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were abated.
And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day
of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.

And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month:

in the tenth month, on the first day of the month,

were the tops of the mountains seen.
And it came to pass at the end of forty days,

that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made:
And he sent forth a raven, which went forth to and fro,

 until the waters were dried up from off the earth.
Also he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters

were abated from off the face of the ground;
But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot,

and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters

were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand,

and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark.
And he stayed yet other seven days;

and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark;
And the dove came in to him in the evening;

and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off:

so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.
And he stayed yet other seven days;

and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more.
And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year,

in the first month, the first day of the month,

the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah

removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold,

the face of the ground was dry.
And in the second month, on the seven and

twentieth day of the month, was the earth dried.
