New Geological Discoveries The Last Couple Hundred Years

We live in a relentless society characterized by spectacular scientific innovation and research. This innovation continuously morphs the foundation of how we understand the world, including our philosophical ideologies and religion. New geological discoveries the last couple hundred years has undermined many Literal-historical views on how the earth was created. Churches that were once anchored on the young earth hypothesis now face a split between those who hold steadfast to their traditional foundation, and those two branch out their beliefs to accommodate the scientific discovery. A multitude of theories such as the Day-Age, Gap and Framework have come up from the mix of postulations. Before I came into this class, I had begun to develop my own notions about the way in which the world was created, but had a very unclear picture of how the flood, radiometric dating, and layers of sediment played into the whole picture. My ideas were congregated from a mixture of what I was tau ght at my modern evangelical church, what I had learned in public school, and what I had read in scripture. I however, faced a discontinuity within this area because while I knew what I believed, I didn’t know why understanding this issue mattered. Thanks to this discussion about Genesis and geology, I have developed a clearer picture why and how I believe in certain theories and philosophies. It also has enabled me to develop an understanding of how science and religion are separate entities.Show MoreRelatedAmerican Pageant Chapter 1 Summary1478 Words   |  6 PagesShaping North America 350 million years ago- The Appalachian Mountains formed 225 million years ago- Earth’s supercontinent broke up into separate continents. 135-25 million years ago- Western North American mountain ranges formed. 10 Million years ago- North America’s basic geological shape is formed 2 Million years ago- The Ice Age begins; glaciers carve into the land creating formations such as the Great Lakes. 10,000 years ago- The Ice Age ends Peopling the Americas Evidence suggestsRead MoreEssay on A Century of Physics3573 Words   |  15 Pagesthousand years of intellectual struggle that began with the Greek philosophers, physical scientists had reason to believe that they were beginning to understand the universe.

Firstly, Jesus had walked many, many miles on foot in order to perform acts of God, which is truly humbling, and is entering the last city before his gruesome torture and death. So, he enters Jerusalem for the first time in his life he rides triumphantly and in some, well deserved, comfort. Also, Aslan misinterprets Jesus’ intention on his entrance.
