By doing so, Paul has fulfilled the mandate of the Law that all things be established by two or more
witnesses. There are many prophets who foretold the coming of Messiah. Paul could have mentioned
them alone to provide the requisite number of witnesses, but he goes beyond this. Paul provides two
different types of witnesses. There is the witness of God’s Spirit speaking through man, and the
witness of God’s Spirit speaking through the heavens.

Tim Warner has surely misstated the matter when he writes “apologetics [sic] and creation ministries
have debunked the work of Frances Rolleston (and with it all of the other books based on her work),
showing it as non-scientific and subjective...” I believe Tim meant to state that “apologists,” not
“apologetics,” have debunked the work of Frances Rolleston. In either case, Tim Warner has
exaggerated, for even as he also uses the plural word “ministries,” he provides only one link to the
writing of one man on one ministry’s website. The only apologist Tim Warner cites is Dr. Danny
Faulkner, and Dr. Faulkner is not even on staff with the creation ministry that posted his writing. He
was merely a guest writer whose article was approved for posting on the Answers in Genesis website.
Perhaps it was an over exuberance in promoting his own theory on this subject that led him to
overstate the matter.

About the time Tim Warner’s book came out, Dr. Danny Faulkner greatly expanded his writing that
argues against the veracity of Frances Rolleston’s book and those who have followed her. The
Answers In Genesis website once more published his letter, evidently after Warner’s book was
published, as there is only a link to the much earlier and shorter writing of Dr. Faulkner in the book.
Dr. Faulkner mentions in the expanded update to this writing that he received some objections to his
previous critical work, and felt the need to expand it.

Danny Faulkner admits that he did not have access to Frances Rolleston’s book when he wrote his
first criticism, for Mazzaroth had long been out of print. Now that the book is once more readily
available in print and to be read or downloaded freely online, he was able to do a much more thorough
vetting of the book, and I am impressed with his scholarship in this second attempt at the writing. His
second writing is all the more impressive when held up against the deficiencies of his first effort on
