Creationism

I love ancient history, particularly pre-Flood and shortly after--and I have been studying on scientific elements in the Pre-Flood world--enjoy.


When the world was new, it is said in Genesis that God separated water from water, creating the firmament. This firmament--our present day atmosphere, can then be assumed to have been a secondary layer. It is a well known theory that is widely believed and proven--that in the Pre-Flood world, there was a atmosphere above our atmosphere--a layer of water vapor/super-cold hydrogen, transparent metallic layer. This water vapor atmosphere is believed to have made the old world much different than the new. For instance--if the water vapor layer was real, it would have increased oxygen levels on earth drastically--whereas today we have 21% oxygen in the air we breathe, then it would have been 35% oxygen. The water layer would also transmit light in a brighter, more brilliant and colorful way, painting the world in a light pink in daytime, and a magenta color at night, thereby always bathing the vibrant landscapes in warm light that increased Norepinephren, which increased the ability of the human brain. Life would grow faster and live longer--all living organisms, including man, enjoyed a much longer life-span--men recorded to live up to 969 years! the water in the earth would also have a higher oxygen content, making the seas and oceans and lakes full of beautiful marine life. The water layer also protected the earth and humans from ultraviolet rays and radiation. Men had a much healthier diet, greater strength, energy, and size due to higher oxygen levels. Therefore, it is easy to understand how some men lived to be over 900 years old. Dinosaurs and possibly Dragons lived alongside mankind in peace and long-lasting life, until the world was corrupted, and the Flood occurred. It is widely believed that the water that made the flood was twofold--water from beneath the earth, and water from above. The water from above is believed to have been the cause of the rain--it must have deteriorated and collapsed, pouring down in the form of rain. When Noah and his family left the Ark, they would step out into a much different world. With the water atmosphere torn away, life had changed. Living things did not live half as long, including humans. Oxygen in the air and water decreased drastically, along with the human lifespan. The oxygen level decrease would have made it almost impossible for small pterodactyls to fly anymore, and also, if Dragons were real, they would have experienced more difficulty in flight. The brilliant light of the old world would have faded with the water atmosphere, and now the light of the sun was more dull, along with the sky, and it was more harsh in its heat. Seasons possibly changed as well, as it said in the Bible--living things were now meant for certain times and seasons--humans included, I'd say. It is possible that some species who were accustomed to the kinder old world, such as the dinosaurs, would have begun to disappear, until they became altogether extinct. Dragons, also, would have decreased in numbers, and also in size. The oxygen decrease would have made all living things shrink--which has been scientifically proven. A dragonfly that normally had a two foot wingspan in the old world would have shrunk to modern-day size. Dragons, possibly deprived of their former monstrous sizes, would have been bewildered and unable to adjust to the new world, and the hate of mankind, who pursued them relentlessly until they were gone forever. Man would have also had to adjust to this harsher world--their lifespan drastically shrunk, their size, also, possibly decreased, and the very air they breathed less satisfying. The former beauty that had been so well known was gone forever--never again would the world be bathed in such blinding, colorful light, and never again would the sunrises and sets be so vibrantly pink. The world was changed completely, and everything that had been familiar was not anymore. Dinosaurs and Dragons and other species went extinct, along with the memories of the old world's glory. The beauty of that former land was now preserved only in the words of the Bible, and even in that, it was not truly described in full. But Mankind survived, and we live now to wonder at what the world was like before--what it was like to see a Dragon fly, or a dinosaur lumber by, or a bright pink sky painting the world, or the teeming life that was of old.
