Dawkins professes to find himself highly disturbed that anyone at all accepts young earth or creationist views, and is even more despairing that despite years of evolutionary indoctrination in our schools, creationism just doesn’t seem to be going away. He would be well advised to remove the log cabin from his eyes prior to giving creationists advice on extracting the mote he thinks he sees in the...

Altogether the waters were receding for more than seven months before the earth was dry and Noah could open the door of the Ark. The Wollomombi Gorge at the edge of the large plateau near Armidale, Australia, is a good example of the sort of geologic signatures that the receding waters of Noah’s Flood carved onto the earth.

The standard source of the new information needed in evolutionary theory has long been mutations—inherited changes in the DNA which until recently have been assumed to be almost exclusively random, i.e. genetic copying mistakes. An obvious implication is that any purposeful adaptation system would have been intelligently designed to generate the variety needed for creatures to be able to survive a...

Neither racism—nor the idea of evolution—started with Darwin. However, Darwin’s writings greatly fueled racism, providing a ‘scientific’ justification for it. The origin of the earth’s different ‘races’ has long caused unnecessary confusion among both Christians and non-Christians. The truth is surprisingly simple.

Were the ten plagues of Egypt, as recorded in Exodus chapters 7–11, all overt miraculous acts of God? No, according to the natural-cause-and-effect theory of Greta Hort. Concerning the miraculous, a god who cannot work miracles is not a god worth following.

The Bible draws a clear line between animals and humans, and gives us ethical guidelines. While it may be right under certain circumstances to clone animals to benefit people, it is absolutely wrong to try to clone humans.

The earliest Christians boldly proclaimed the Resurrection as the central tenet of the faith and ultimate proof of Jesus’ deity. The apostle Paul confirms the historicity of Genesis in 1 Corinthians 15:21–22 ‘For since by [a] man came death, by man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.’

I was able to catch the children’s attention when talking about natural selection, variation within a created ‘kind’, the origin of ‘races’ where all people came from, and, of course, dinosaurs. The Bible suddenly became connected to the real world. It wasn’t just a book of stories about morals to beat them over the head with. It dawned on them that the Flood of Noah was real history accounting fo...

Viruses are a part of a system that helps to produce the variety that is critical for life and, importantly, they carry resistance to disease from one organism to another. Most viruses live in their host without causing problems. Pathogenesis is evidence of something gone wrong, a mutation or the accidental movement of genes, and not evidence of a system deliberately designed to cause human diseas...

The false belief system of evolution has been used since its inception to dull people to the moral absolutes of Scripture, whether justifying Nazism, Stalinism, the abortion holocaust, indifference to starvation in Africa, or the maltreatment of indigenous people.

We are all connected with the first Adam (the natural and legal head of the human race) as depraved and guilty sinners, and so are included in the sentence of death which God pronounced on him. However, all who are connected with the last Adam, Jesus, through repentance and faith in His redeeming work, are forgiven, have ‘received the free gift of righteousness’, and so ‘have passed from death to...

Only when we insist that the terms of the debate be fair and accurate will we have any chance to clearly communicate the truth of creation and the bankruptcy of Darwinism to the world at large. As we have undertaken to demonstrate here, evolutionists have been guilty of hiding behind the misleading use of the term ‘fitness’; it is now time for honest scientists to adopt a more realistic, objective...

It is difficult for many to understand why seemingly credible witnesses make up fantastic stories—so fantastic in some cases that it would be normal to think that no one would make such incredible claims unless they were true. Human beings are complex creatures and for some their emotions and beliefs can override reality.

Where did Cain get his wife? How do you know there’s a God? Could Noah get all the animals on the Ark? Was the flood global? Most Christians have questions about science and the Bible, and many struggle with their faith because of them. We should examine our foundations, which may lead us to a better realization of why we face the issues we do.

Since, they say, creation fails their definition of ‘science’, it is therefore ‘religion’, and (by implication) it can simply be ignored. But what is science? Many attempts to define ‘science’ are circular. The point that a theory must be acceptable to contemporary scientists to be acceptable, basically defines science as ‘what scientists do’!

In the second part of this article we will analyze several critical geological features of heavily eroded surfaces that further confirm the idea that Eden cannot be placed on the contemporary surface of the earth.

There are no textual, geographic, linguistic, or even probabilistic reasons to hold to a near-Mesopotamian Eden. The few words used in parallel before and after the Flood are easily explained and the specific geography given in Scripture does not match anything in the region, nor indeed anywhere on the earth today.

Eschatology is core to CMI’s ministry in one sense—we absolutely assert that the goal of Jesus’ work was to restore not just believers, but the entire physical creation. And this will happen when He comes again. No matter what various people believe about the timing, or how to interpret various prophecies, getting the biblical foundations right means we all should look forward to the day when we s...

Satan and his host of evil angels are well aware of the truth of Scripture. Concerning God, ‘the demons believe—and tremble’ (James 2:19). And the temptation account suggests that Satan knows that the Genesis record of creation is true.

It is not ‘academically sophisticated’ to hold to the inspiration of Scripture. Some people argue that believing a priori that the Bible is true and without error in anything it teaches is an ‘unintellectual’ position. It is true that with a Christological starting point, we give up any appearance of an ‘impartial, academic’ viewpoint. Yet there are very good reasons to hold to the infallibility o...

Supposedly, it began as a singularity, an unimaginably hot ‘point’ into which was compressed all the matter and energy now making up the billions of galaxies found throughout space. Biblical creationists, of course, should reject big bang theory because the order of events contradicts the Bible. Christians need not be intimidated into accepting secular accounts of origins.

The doctrine of the Trinity states that in the unity of the Godhead there are three eternal and co-equal Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the same in essence but distinct in role — three Persons (or three centres of consciousness) and one Being. The doctrine of the Trinity is difficult for some people to understand, but this is what God has revealed in Scripture about His own Being, so we sho...

Currently, to our shame, millions of people, including many of our own neighbours, have no idea that there is a biblical alternative to evolution. Having rejected God on the grounds of belief in evolution, the guys I met at a hospital were hardly likely to give the time of day to the church’s message of salvation in Jesus.

The idea that death was in creation before the Fall has major implications for the character of God. The same problem arises if one thinks that God used evolution to create. At some point, this allegedly ‘good’ God ordains a lottery of death that finally results in humans, and then God looks at His image-bearers, standing on top of layers upon layers of rocks filled with the remains of billions of...

Atheists not only can, but must be (at least to some extent) good without believing in God—even if they hate God with every inch of their being. If they are really made in the image of God as the Bible teaches (Genesis 1:27), then that fact must have some results. They, like all of us, are fallen (as explained in Genesis 3), but even so must still have an in-built sense of the reality and the impo...
