Do you guys find this persons video as hilarious as I do? Answers to his ten questions: 1. I think its possible that the fault which split the Australian continent from either (more likely) the Asian continent or (less likely) the African continent didnt occur until after the Flood, which would make it possible for kangaroos to have gotten from the mountains of Ararat to modern-day Australia. Who even said that Australia was always the habitat of kangaroos from the time of the Flood? Alternatively, God could simply have translated kangaroos to any place He wanted, regardless of landmass separation; He is God, remember. 2. The Bible doesnt say the window of the ark was necessarily on its roof. (Genesis 6:16.) Noah could very well have had the window open the entire time. 3. My two cents for this is that, although Adam and Eve did not understand the distinction between the concepts of good and evil, or their particulars, they did understand imperatives, so they were accountable for rebelling against God. 4. Love necessitates choice, so without the option to either rebel or obey, Adam and Eve would not have been given the opportunity to experience or demonstrate real love for God. 5. The Bible doesnt explicitly say in any of the accounts that the stone had been rolled away before they arrived, but it does say that when they got there, they saw the stone rolled away. Very tricky wording, but read it over again. It could mean when they got there they saw the stone IN THE PROCESS of being rolled away (the sentence structure permits this interpretation), and Matthews account does say that they saw an angel taking the stone away; Marks account is slightly more vague. Remember that Luke never even walked with Jesus; his account is second- or third-hand at best. 6. Although Matthews account mentions only both Marys and not Salome, like Marks account does, it is possible Salome was still there. Lukes account is ambiguous, so it offers no controversy. Johns account mentions Mary Magdalene coming the first time on her own, but says that she got the disciples together to come with her a second time; that second time, Mary and Salome could have accompanied her (and that second time could have been the event recorded in the other Gospel accounts). 7. Paul believed the creation account is historical; so do I. No issue there. 8. Fact you should know: a colt is not a donkey, its a male horse not more than four years old. The fact that Mark, Luke and John say Jesus rode on a single donkey and Matthew says He rode on a donkey and a colt are not contradictory. The former three simply never mentioned the colt. 9. Is it possible that Jacob and Heli were alternative names for the same man? It wasnt unheard of for someone to have more than one name in those days. There are other explanations for this too, but we wont go there. 10. I more readily believe Johns Gospel on this because he was the only apostle who was actually PRESENT for the crucifixion. The others were in hiding. They got their information through hearsay. They might be simply wrong. https://youtube/watch?v=tu3NomBg5EA
