I came across a post from GotQuestions.org, a creationist website, that describes what they call “Progressive Creationism“. One of the characteristic beliefs of a Progressive Creationist apparently is that:

Death and bloodshed have existed from the very beginning of creation and were not the result of Adam’s sin. Man was created after the vast majority of earth’s history of life and death had already taken place.

Without geting into the whole thing I would like to respond to this passage:

Another error of Progressive Creationism is that death existed prior to the Fall, which undermines the Bible’s clear teaching that death is a result of sin (see Romans 5:12 and 1 Corinthians 15:21-22). Any theory which places man or animal death prior to the Fall of Adam must be rejected.

Various resources for Bible study:

• Gospelcom.net is an alliance of Christian ministries apparently - however it’s most useful features include modern, ie new and relevant, study information and commentaries / devotionals alongside a large range of Bible translations which are also accessible as the Bible Gateway.
• World Wide Study Bible, this one is actually from CCEL but deserves a special mention. Brilliant resource for preparing Bible studies for use at your homegroup / cell group or whatever. It lists each book of the Bible, follow the link and eg. under Phillipians it list links under the headings “About, Scripture, Commentary, Sermons, Expository Outlines, Article References, More Scripture”. Just useful and not to dense to access.
