Default Ray Comfort Embraces Evolution - 12-30-2013, 12:01 PM

I never thought I’d see the day when creationist crusader Ray Comfort embraced evolution – and on a timescale not even the most optimistic evolutionist would accept. I was deeply disappointed when I read the following post on his Facebook page.

Quote:
Cosmo Vern said: “I'd like to point out, in addition to my earlier reply, that only one of two scenarios could have allowed 3.6 million animals (1.8 million species, in pairs) and 8 humans to fit on the ark. 1. God shrank the animals so they'd all fit. 2. Noah was a Time Lord and the ark was a TARDIS.”

Ray Answers: There’s one more scenario you haven't considered. See if you can spot the repetition of a particular word that skeptics dislike: “Of the birds after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive” (Genesis 6:20). That’s right, it’s the dreaded word “kind”—that archaic word that the dictionary defines as “a class or group of individual objects, people, animals, etc., of the same nature or character, or classified together because they have traits in common.” It’s a despised word because it means God didn’t have to get today’s approximately 6.5 million species to fit onto the ark. It means Noah needed only one pair for the canine kind—from which would come all the species of dog, from the Chihuahua to the Great Dane—and one pair for the feline kind—from which would come the domesticated cat and the tiger, etc. So now we are talking just thousands of animals, not millions. And because these animals need not have been fully grown (averaging the size of a sheep), it becomes possible.

Another consideration is the size of the ark. It wasn't the little rubber-ducky-bobbing-boat portrayed in kid’s cartoons. It was a massive three-level ship, the size of one and a half football fields.
On the surface this may seem like a good argument to use against global-Flood deniers. But if we take a closer look at what Ray is saying, we realise just how ridiculous it is.

According to Ray, domesticated cats and great cats are descended from a pair of felines that went aboard the Ark. We know Noah’s Flood happened around 2500 BC. Lions were around in Jacob’s time (Gen 49:9), about 1900 BC, so if Ray’s theory is true, it took only 600 years for lions to evolve from the original feline pair. Leopards had become a distinct species by Jeremiah’s time (Jer 13:23), about 600 BC, so following the same reasoning, it took leopards 1900 years at most to evolve from the original feline pair.

The problem with this is that not even evolutionists would accept this much evolution on such a short timescale. According to evolutionists, it took 10-15 million years for all species of cat we have today to evolve from the original felid. If Ray’s claim were true, we should be able to see evolution happening before our very eyes.

We also know that information cannot be added to the genome. The original felines must have contained all the genetic information necessary to produce all traits in all species of cat. So what did the original felines look like? Were they spotted like leopards? Striped like tigers? Tan like lions? Black like pumas? Did they have sabre teeth? Did they have manes? Were they fast like cheetahs? Creation scientists tell us that change can only occur through the loss of genetic information. So did pumas evolve because they lost the genes for spots and stripes? Did cheetahs evolve because they lost the genes that were slowing the other species of cat down? And why don’t we see any evidence of this evolution in the fossil record? Where are the missing links? Show me a catger!

Ray makes a big deal about kinds in his video Evolution vs God. He claims that variation within a kind is microevolution, but there is nothing micro about the evolution of lions, tigers, leopards, cheetahs, pumas, jaguars, wildcats and domesticated cats from a single pair of felines. In order to make the Flood account seem more credible to unbelievers, Ray embraces evolution on steroids.

We may never know why God told Noah to build the Ark too small to fit all the animals, but we do know God is all-powerful (Rev 19:6). Nothing is impossible for Him. Surely, if He wanted all the animals to fit, He would have found a way to make them fit. When people try to demythologise Scripture, they minimise God’s power and glory.


Mt 21:42, 44 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes . . . ? And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
