Owls are interesting animals, with a complex visual and hearing system. They speak of God’s design, rather than evolution by random chance. It makes much more sense to believe what God’s Word says about these animals as opposed to evolutionary theory.

To the extent that the researchers have observed that selective culling of large-horned rams at Ram Mountain has diminished the size of rams and their horns… Evolution—the supposedly information-gaining process by which, over millions of years, some primeval soupy ‘seep’ became sheep—is nowhere in evidence here.

Some people object to a literal Creation Week by claiming that the seventh day on which God rested was not an ordinary day. An interpretation of Scripture which contradicts other statements of Scripture must be wrong. Scripture points clearly to a six-day creation.

Evolutionists expend much energy on political struggles against all shades of ‘creationism’ — including ‘intelligent design’ long-agers, progressive creationists, and the like. On such battlegrounds, she has a chance of selling her “evolution-won’t-mess-with-your-religion” message.

The concept of a ‘retroactive Fall’ (an event extending punishments backward), is unbiblical and is totally different from the pre-ordained salvation explained in Scripture. Like all compromise opinions, it is simply an attempt from the minds of men to blend man’s illusory deep time into the Bible.

The progressive creationists’ claim that the seventh day of creation is still continuing is without any exegetical foundation whatsoever, making it a worthless argument for non-literal creation days.

The belated push to preserve the wild varieties of our food plants highlights the fact that no amount of selection—artificial, by breeders, or natural—can generate information which is not there.

The ancient Greeks well before Christ had realized that the earth is a globe by observing lunar eclipses. The flat earth’s two main proponents were obscure figures in the third century named Lactantius and Cosmas Indicopleustes in the 6th century. The flat-earth belief was extremely rare in the Church.

Scientists have searched for years for planets orbiting other stars. These are called extrasolar planets or ‘exoplanets’. Today there are research teams around the world searching for extrasolar planets with greatly refined research techniques. As of writing this article, there are over 450 objects catalogued in exoplanet lists.

If someone says the earth is old — you can agree with them, so long as you define what you mean by old — it’s really, really old, in fact it’s ancient. Some six entire millennia have elapsed since God made the world in six real days.

It surprises many that there are an increasing number of voices speaking out against evolution. They say we are not evolved, but created. It’s even more of a surprise to discover many of those voices are from leading scientists across a range of disciplines. Not only are they pointing out the flaws in evolutionary theory, but they’re also showing that the evidence around us fits with the Bible’s a...

In an age where people are reading less and less, they are getting their information about scientific ‘facts’ continually embellished in a cloud of associated ‘entertainment fiction’, such as modern science fiction.

Theistic evolution has enormous implications for one’s spiritual walk. If it were true that God kick-started evolution but relinquished control over the outcomes, then we should not trust the Bible since it speaks of God’s pre-creation intention to bring about mankind, to carry out the plan of salvation, and to call out the Church.

The doctrines of creation and evolution are so strongly divergent that reconciliation is totally impossible. Theistic evolutionists attempt to integrate the two doctrines, however such syncretism reduces the message of the Bible to insignificance.

In the last half century the Doctrine of Sin appears to have become a doctrine under attack in theological circles, but this has largely gone unnoticed. This podcast aims to show how in various ways the classical doctrine has been challenged.

The number of organs that once were believed to be functional in the evolutionary past of humans but are non-functional today has been steadily reduced as the fields of anatomy and physiology have progressed. Few examples of vestigial organs in humans are now offered, and the ones that are have been shown by more recent research to be completely functional, and in many cases critically so.

‘All those scientists’ can be wrong — and often have been! The reason hoaxes dominated textbooks for many decades as the chief evidence for man’s evolution is not because of a mistake, a small aberration somewhere along the line of a self-correcting march towards truth, but because of the strong influences of presupposition and prejudice.

Many in the general public will be duped into thinking that this undisputed example of natural selection is yet more evidence that fish turned into philosophers over millions of years. Beware the bait-and-switch.

Everyone will have an opportunity to accept or reject Christ, right? But down through history, and even today, there are people who have never of of the Bible, Jesus Christ, or had that opportunity. Here are a few principles which help us to think through this difficult issue.

Dr Hugh Ross believes in the same general sequence of events and the same order of appearance as evolutionists. Although he believes that God made Adam from the dust, he also accepts the evolutionists’ long-age interpretation of the fossil record. But human fossils are found ‘dated’ earlier than Adam’s genealogies could possibly allow.

Young-earth creationists believe that the biblical account of creation is incompatible with an earth history of billions of years. One reason is that if the fossil record represents millions of years of Earth history, it has to be said that God’s method of creation was both cruel and wasteful.

The next time you discuss this topic with an old earther or theistic evolutionist, try out this helpful parable to explain the relevance of Genesis 1:29–39 and Genesis 9:3–4 on the topic of pre-Fall death and carnivory.

Many evolutionists use ‘junk’ DNA as ‘proof’ of evolution, but the amazing design and complexity of living things provides strong evidence for a Creator. One aspect of this sustenance is that God has programmed the recipe for all these structures on the famous double-helix molecule DNA.

The scientists who discovered the fossils said that “a very special situation” had preserved them. The spiders were rapidly buried as part of a deposit of enormous depth and area. Nowhere on the earth are depositional events of such size occurring today.p

Walton’s ‘Lost World’ books offer such a radical rethink of the biblical text that one wonders how the church could have gotten it so wrong for so long. Longman and Walton say you can tell that a passage is figurative when you “have to work hard to take it any other way” but, concerning the historical Flood account, they are the ones having to dance around the plain sense of the text.
