Dinosaurs must have been Ark passengers. Most dinosaur fossils were formed by the Flood, and God told Noah to take two of every land vertebrate alive before the Flood. There were far fewer dinosaur kinds than species or genera, and the average size of a full-grown dino was about the size of a bison/buffalo. But Noah probably boarded much smaller juveniles a year before their growth spurt.

‘Who created God?’ is an age-old question. Atheists ask it because they think it is a ‘gotcha’ question for Christians. As Dr Batten explains it has a simple, logical answer!

How did 80 whales end up fossilized in the Chilean desert? What conditions led to them swimming there in the first place and getting rapidly buried so that they would fossilize?

Is God not all-powerful or not all-good? Are evil and suffering proof that God doesn’t exist? The Bible makes sense of the world and provides hope through even the darkest pain.

Children are being indoctrinated with a secular view of dinosaurs. Dr Tas Walker shares questions to ask and tips for teaching kids about dinosaurs from a biblical perspective.

Dr Mark Harwood discusses the age of the earth, focusing especially on why an old Earth sits in conflict with the Bible, while also providing evidence for a younger age of the Earth.

What looks to be a brilliant teaching on creation week by BibleProject is really an already refuted view of the framework hypothesis. This literary view is typically used to allow the idea of millions of years into the text of Genesis 1. Join us as we use Scripture to examine some of the core problems with this view.

Did you know that atheists must believe in miracles? How so? Dr Don Batten, explains, there are many things in the universe that defy naturalistic explanations.

Epigenetics: from Greek epi-/ἐπι-, meaning = “over, outside of” to genetics (i.e. heritable changes that are above the genes coded in the DNA). That is, genes code for various traits, but epigenetics controls when they are switched on or off, and how intensely.

Hezekiah of Judah was one of the few godly kings who descended from David. Three recent and very significant archaeological discoveries have provided confirmation of many of his greatest accomplishments, including new details about his famous water tunnel, carved underneath Jerusalem. These new finds offer fascinating support for the historical accuracy of the Bible. Gary Bates and Keaton Halley d...

Creation Talk 102 ~ YouTube Version

This episode features Dr Robert Carter and Dr Jonathan Sarfati. They discuss in detail many of the facts surrounding the famous trial of Galileo and dismiss many of the associated urban myths (many of which are intentionally propagated by skeptics). They also delve more deeply into the intellectual background in the centuries leading up to Galileo, Copernicus, and Newton. Galileo was politically n...

Why did dinosaurs go extinct? Did you know that there are over a hundred theories by secular scientists for why dinosaurs died out? Did an asteroid strike cause the extinction of dinosaurs? Why doesn’t this theory work? How do biblical creationists explain the extinction of dinosaurs if dinosaurs and man once lived together?

In this episode, we look at even more ways God has engineered the genome to generate diversity. We look at mutations, epigenetics, and natural selection. God is the master engineer. He did not just create life; He designed life to robustly respond to the environment. He overdesigned living things so that they could withstand, so far, thousands of years of mutational accumulation. His designs were...

Many creationists once proposed that the source of Flood waters was a water vapour canopy surrounding the earth above the atmosphere. But most modern creationists reject the model. A vapour canopy is not a direct teaching of Scripture, seems to contradict Scripture, and it would not have done what it was claimed to do.

How did all the animals fit on Noah’s Ark? How many animals were on board the Ark, and how did Noah take care of all of them? What did carnivorous animals eat on the Ark and after the Flood?

Creationists are often accused of arguing from ignorance when they insist God is responsible for the apparent design in nature. The design argument makes a case that certain features of nature are best explained by an intelligent cause. But a common criticism is that this arbitrarily inserts God as a placeholder to fill a gap in our knowledge, a gap which science will eventually explain, leaving G...

The question of what happened to Adam when he ate the ‘forbidden fruit’ has been debated for centuries. Was Adam’s death physical or only spiritual? Was it instantaneous or delayed? God promised that Adam would die if he disobeyed, but the Bible also says Adam lived for hundreds of years afterward. Which is right? The answer requires an understanding of the underlying Hebrew wording and a comparis...

According to the popular ‘gap theory’, the Genesis creation account can accommodate a history of millions of years in between the first two verses. But this attempt to squeeze millions of years into the Bible suffers from fatal flaws. The gap theory is inconsistent with its proponents’ own interpretation of Ezekiel 28. There are further problems with the gap theory as well, including its ad hoc su...

The Bible does not name the pharaohs with whom Moses interacted. Which Egyptian king was confronted by the biblical plagues and defeated at the Red Sea? Evidential clues suggest how biblical history and Egyptian history might best align. In this fascinating discussion, Gary Bates and Keaton Halley of Creation Ministries International talk about the evidence for the timing of the Exodus, and they p...

Christians have wrestled for centuries on how to reconcile Egyptian chronology with a biblical one. Many fail to understand Egyptian culture at the time which is a key to understanding how they treated foreigners, for example, which would help us understand why Egypt is silent about the Hebrew occupation prior to the Exodus event. We need to look for other clues that might help us place the timing...

In this second episode dealing with how God created species to change over time, we discuss the concept of the ‘created kind’ as opposed to ‘species’ and what it means for our understanding of what God actually created. The concept of a ‘frontloaded’ genome is important, and there are multiple ways for the genomes of living things to change over time.

In this episode, we cover three myths that people often have about biblical biology. What are species? What are created kinds? Did God create all species as we see today, and did those species stay in the same general location after they were originally created? And did God only create two of each kind of animal at the beginning?

In the last few years, apologist William Lane Craig has attacked biblical (‘young earth’) creation. However, he is not enamoured with many of the other compromise views. In 2021, he published a book, In Quest of the Historical Adam. He concluded that Adam and Eve were a real original couple who gave rise to all humans, and who committed the first acts of sin. But they were a pair of Homo heidelber...
