Creation Science Rebuttals -

A Touching Truth

8 March 2006

     The 8 March 06 daily feature for the young earth creation science ministry Creation Moments discusses the importance of our sense of touch.

     I agree with the authors, our sense of touch is a wonderful thing.  As they point out, without it, we would not feel pain.  Which brings up a good point.  Did Adam have a sense of touch?  I'm certain he did.  If he had a sense of touch, then he could feel pain...before he sinned.  Young earth creationists who say there was no pain before sin are denying man's sense of touch.  If Adam was fully human, as we are, then he felt pain.

     As Christians we should thank God for our bodies, including our ability to feel pain.  However, as is typical of Creation Moments claims, this is strictly a "God of the Gaps" type argument.  Presenting such an argument in defense of creation is a pointless exercise in futility...it will strengthen those who already believe, but will do nothing to argue for your position with the atheist or old earth creationist.
