Scripture On Creation podcast

In this 5th and final episode on Psalm 139 its relevance to the issue of abortion is discussed.  We then consider the change in focus from an intimate relationship with the Creator to an indictment of the wicked.

Verses 13-18 include David's thoughts about being "fearfully and wonderfully made."  Even from the perspective man had 3000 years ago, the fantastic design of our bodies was evident--and that was without the knowledge of what is involved at the cellular and molecular level.

We consider the 2nd stanza of the Psalm; this section emphasizes the idea that no matter where we go God is there.  A comfort to the child of God, scary for the rebel.

What is a Fibonacci sequence?  Dr. Scripture didn't know either (or maybe you do know). He addresses a question about the shape of the Milky Way, and  considers what the meaning of the "sea" is in Rev 21:1.

Though scientists debate over the question of whether or not time had a beginning, the Bible does have the answer. The scientific issues related to the question and the biblical texts that address the question are discussed.

Popular Mechanics reports on a proposal that mammals' lifespans, including humans, were shortened as a result of evolutionary pressure from dinosaurs 100 million years ago.  We consider that idea and then discuss human lifespans recorded in the Bible.

David marvels at the attention his Creator pays to him; and rejoices over the closeness of their relationship.  However, if a person is estranged from God, the Lord's knowledge of that person may cause them discomfort.

"Fearfully and wonderfully made;" this Psalm reflects the amazement we all have when considering the wonderful human body.  Some convince themselves this was accomplished by evolution--random mutation and natural selection; others see Divine Design in every detail.  This program begins an in depth study of Psalm 139.

This Psalm was repeated antiphonally in the Israelites' worship.  One of the ways God shows His everlasting lovingkindness is in the dependability of His creation.

People complain about the weather but don't do anything about it!  Well, now environmental activists claim we CAN do something about it.  This program discusses what Psalm 135 says about the weather and God's real control of it.

Psalms 135 and 136 call us to worship the Creator.  Praise Him and thank Him for Who He is and what He has done.  They give suggestions for what to praise and thank Him for; we can and should also consider, from our own experience, what we personally can praise and thank Him for.

These songs of Ascents (120-134) reflect the Israelite's journey to Jerusalem, and form a microcosm of life.  Praising the Creator and asking for His help and protection are themes found in this special group of Psalms.

What is the meaning of the word "day" in the Genesis creation account?  It actually has 3 different meanings.  How about the numerous references to "ancient times" or "forever?"  A study of the use of these various "time" words shows that many have quite flexible meanings--the key to interpreting them correctly is their context.

This week we celebrate 250 years as a nation.  The Founders of our nation assumed not only that there was a God, they understood He was the Creator.  This program considers the Declaration of Independence and other statements of Thomas Jefferson in particular.

This Psalm graphically contrasts the gods Man makes and God THE Maker of heaven and earth.  In response to idolatry, which at its core is Man making his god/s, the Lord God repeatedly in Scripture makes the point that He, the Creator, made Man.

The Creator humbles Himself (stoops if you will) to simply observe the heavens and the earth that He created, yet He cares for us more than we can know.  Hallelujah!

Dr. Scripture continues answering questions from a group of young people he spoke to at a conference.  These questions relate to the creation of animals and the cosmos.

Dr. Scripture answers a number of questions from a youth group: who created God, when did God create everything, when were angels created and more.  Most of the questions focused on God and Man.

The Psalmist begins with "Hallelujah!" and praises the Lord for all His works.  Those works include God's work in creation as well as His acts of righteousness and faithfulness. 

Although we thought we finished Psalm 104, Scott had a couple more questions related to verses 30 and 35.  We consider Psalm 104:30 and 35 in more detail in this final program on Psalm 104.

It's apparent that God intended a single man and a single woman to be mated for life, i.e. polygamy was not God's idea; but how about for all the other creatures? Photo credit PeopleUS.

This program continues Dr. Scripture's response to a student asking for evidence refuting evolution; in particular the millions of years of evolution claimed to have occurred by all evolutionists.

This program was first aired in 2010, but is still relevant today.  It's remarkable how strongly some evolutionists react to any challenge to their theory.  A student shares their experience in an English class.

This final program on Psalm 104 quickly reviews the first 26 verses then considers the last 9 verses.  The question, do animals have a spirit? (vs 29) is discussed, and the Lord's ongoing interaction with His creation is highlighted.

The later portions of Psalm 104 describe a number of the life forms God created.  The plants, animals and Man all live and to a great extent cooperate in the circle of life on earth.  The Psalmist then exclaims, "in wisdom You have made them all!"
