2 Cor. 11:3 “But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpents cunning, your minds may somehow be lead astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ.”
What was the Cunning Craft of Satan? • “Yea hath God said?” • Is the Word of God Trustworthy? • “You Shall not surely die!” • God’s Word is wrong! • If you believe the Word of God then you will not become as gods. • You will be held back! • There is wisdom to be gotten aside from God’s Word
Two Biases in Conflict • The Present is the key to the Past • Revelation is the Key to the Past
Certain World Altering Events • Creation • Everything begins by God, a process that we can not see or replicate • Great geological formations • Corruption (Sin) • The perfect creation is defaced • Nature itself is transformed • Catastrophe (Flood) • The Earth again is transformed by a catastrophe of epic proportions that we have never seen since • Great geological transformations occurred immediately
Walking After their Own Lust • “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,” 2Pe 3:3
“ 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.” 2Pe 3:4

“Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.” Job 36:26
“Inferences erroneously drawn from facts observed in nature have, however, led to supposed conflict between science and revelation; and in the effort to restore harmony, interpretations of Scripture have been adopted that undermine and destroy the force of the word of God.” Ed. 128
“Geology has been thought to contradict the literal interpretation of the Mosaic record of the creation. Millions of years, it is claimed, were required for the evolution of the earth from chaos; and in order to accommodate the Bible to this supposed revelation of science, the days of creation are assumed to have been vast, indefinite periods, covering ,thousands or even millions of years.” Ed. 128
“In order to account for His works, must we do violence to His word?” Ed. 129
God’s Character Would God use a process based on death to create man?
Q 525 Sagan If God is omnipotent and omniscient, why didn’t he start the universe out in the first place so it would come out the way that he wants? Why is he constantly repairing and complaining? No, there’s one thing the Bible makes clear: the biblical God is a sloppy manufacturer. He’s not good at design, he’s not good at execution. He’d be out of business if there was any competition. Contact, Carl Sagan. 1985. Pocket Books (Simon & Schuster, Inc.), New York, NY, ed., page 285. Q 525
