"For example, you mention Adam's blood circulating through
his veins. Would these veins be compliant or would they
show signs of stiffening due to fatigue or protein
cross-linking? Would they contain deposits on the inner
walls? Would Adam's teeth show wear from the meals he
never ate? Would he have scars or bruises? Would he have
callouses or wrinkles? Would there be damaged proteins,
membranes and DNA resulting from the oxygen radicals which
are a by-product of normal metabolism? Would there be a
degredation in the performance of essential molecules in the
cells resulting from the slow process of glucose cross-linking?
etc. etc."
All these are reasonable questions. I don't know the answer, of course,
but I suspect "wear" would not be shown. But I find it difficult to hold
that position either, if I think tree rings, which necessarily show the
results of external influences, would be present.
All this leads me to hold that I cannot accept fiat creation because such
questions re unanswerable. And that leads me to similar questions about
Cana and the 5,000!
Happy Christmas to all!
