In light of all that tragedy in and out of the Church in the past two centuries, how do we even attempt to reclaim the message of God's good grace to undeserving sinners?. We do so by reclaiming and reasserting Biblical Authority. And though many devout Bible believing Christians have done so in most parts of Scripture, many still compromise with naturalism in the early chapters of Genesis regarding the Days of Creation and the Genesis Flood. If we do not assert Biblical Authority in Genesis 1-11, we will likely repeat the same mistakes as those during the early 19th Century.
We must not be afraid to take ridicule when we assert a literal six day 24 hr creation week and Genesis Flood. In reality, it is only through the Biblical lens that our present geology makes sense. As Ken Ham says, "If there was a Global Flood, what would we expect to find? Billions of dead things buried in rock layers all over the earth. And what do we find? Billions of dead things buried in rock layers all over the earth." The problem is never the Scripture, the problem is that man's fallible ideas both contradict Scripture and give us a false understanding of the world.

How easy it is for Christians who deny the authority of Scripture here, also deny it's sufficiency in other passages! Perhaps if they accept the Genesis account on faith, allowing it to shape their presuppositions, then they might find that the rest - the whole - of Scripture is more than sufficient for "practical" living!
