Even the controversal book of Genesis can be confirmed by Science to be true. For example, the Bible begins with: "In the beginning". Science confirms that the world has a beginning and a end. We read about how: "the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep". The Ruin-Reconstruction theory says that this is exactly what happens. Destruction on the earth often comes from a Volcano and the dust is so thick that there is darkness on the earth. It is said that at one time a comet hit the earth and raised a lot of dust so that darkness covered the earth and there was a lot of destruction. A lot of the different species at the time went extinct. Often these is followed by a population explosion or radiation.

Nice leap from the world being without form and void, to there being a volcano that erupts, killing life on earth.. followed by either a population explosion OR radiation.
grasping for pretty tiny straws, and not just a little vague... Or should I say leaping?
Actually, science doesn't/can't know what happened "before" [using the term loosely] the Big Bang... it's entirely possible that the Universe has existed forever, and that the Big Bang was simply the most recent expansion of space-time.
Even the controversal (nice spelling ) book of Genesis can be confirmed by Science to be true. For example, the Bible begins with: "In the beginning". Science confirms that the world has a beginning and a end. All books have a beginning and an end
We read about how: "the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep". The Ruin-Reconstruction theory says that this is exactly what happens. No it doesn't. Destruction on the earth often comes from a Volcano and the dust is so thick that there is darkness on the earth. Technically right, although retarded when in context with the rest of the rubbish It is said that at one time a comet hit the earth and raised a lot of dust so that darkness covered the earth and there was a lot of destruction. A lot of the different species at the time went extinct. Often these is followed by a population explosion or radiation. Yes, it's called the Cambrian explosion after all the dinosaurs kicked the bucket. And sorry to break it to you but that occurred millions of years after the 'beginning ' of life mentioned in your fairy tale, while millions of years before your book claims life actually started.
"We read about how: "the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep". The Ruin-Reconstruction theory says that this is exactly what happens."
The RRT is an argument of apologetics that untold time passes between the events of Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. You've just quoted verse 1:2, which under RRT occurs after the period covered by the argument.
Fail science. Fail apologetics.
"Destruction on the earth often comes from a Volcano and the dust is so thick that there is darkness on the earth."
Wait, what about the "without form" bit? Remember the earth is supposedly without form, and void. So no volcanoes, sorry, and no atmosphere to fill with dust and blot out the sun (not made until Gen 1:9), no sun to blot out even (Gen 1:16).
Fail logic. Fail bible study.
Are we nit-picking words now? Yes, the world had a beginning; the Big Bang. confirm that the world has an end?
The sun came much earlier than the Earth, so no, it was light before the Earth ever came to be.
What does Science say about the different orders of creation in Genesis 1 and 2? Could God create man first and then the animals, while simultaneously create animals first and then man?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
