Creation Talk Podcast

Old Testament scholar John H. Walton has argued that modern readers have misunderstood the true meaning of Genesis 1. Given its ancient Near Eastern context, Walton says the creation account is not about God making material objects, but merely assigning functions. On this basis he sees no conflict between Genesis and evolution. In this episode, Keaton Halley and Joel Tay offer reasons why both Gen...

Soft and stretchy blood vessels, intact cells, animal protein, and even DNA have been found in dinosaur bones. How could they have lasted 66 million years?

Where are all the human fossils? Have we found any pre-Flood human fossils? And why don’t we find human and dinosaur fossils together?

A few years ago, a new study claimed to have found that pterosaurs were feathered. What did they really find? And why is this problematic for the evolutionary idea that dinosaurs evolved into birds?

Can Christians explain why a good, all-powerful God would allow so much evil in the world? Yes. But it turns out that the problem of evil is a much bigger problem for atheists than it is for Christians. Atheism makes no sense given all the evil that is in the world. Good and evil are objectively real, yet how could there be an objective standard (to which we owe allegiance) without God’s nature to...

We agree that for a lot of people who celebrate Christmas it has lost its meaning. But that does not in itself make it wrong. Most people in Western countries will celebrate Christmas and give each other gifts. What a great opportunity we have to explain the love of God for lost mankind. We say, Merry Christmas to you all and put the Christ back in Christmas.

Archaeology confirms the Bible’s history. In this episode, Keaton Halley and Dr Robert Carter discuss ancient artifacts and evidences that support the biblical account of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and how God rescued him from an attack by Sennacherib, king of Assyria, in 701 BC.

Genesis Chapter 6 very clearly sets out the dimensions, purpose and shape of Noah’s Ark. British Museum curator Irving Finkel claimed that this legend was part of the Babylonian Atrahasis Epic, and that it predated the Genesis account by a thousand years and so was the original Flood story on which the Genesis account was based. Not so! The idea that the Judaean Jews concocted their own history du...

Bad arguments and thinking rebound on the cause, and doesn’t honour Christ who is called the Truth and the Logos. It’s important to keep up with the latest CMI information not use outdated or downright bad arguments

Belief in alien life is predicated upon the evolutionary concept of a big bang. But even if true, where are all the alien races?  And if there was no big bang what happens to the concept of intelligent, alien life.

The idea of genetic entropy is simple: species decay over time because mutations build up in populations over time. Yet, evolutionists strongly resist this idea and often use false arguments to try and explain it away. Keaton Halley and Dr Robet Carter discuss this important topic and show how evolutionists play fast and loose with the facts. In the end, genetic entropy is a strong refutation of d...

The little gecko can stick to ceilings because of intricate microstructure, and its skin’s microstructure repels water and kills bacteria. Humans are trying to duplicate both microstructures.

Gary Bates and Erin Hughes discuss the importance of having a biblical worldview as a family, and how attending CMI’s 2022 SuperConference in Myrtle Beach South Carolina will not only be beneficial to the spiritual health of your family, but it will also be a vacation your family will never forget!

Many Christians claim that the big bang theory and the Genesis 1 creation account are compatible, since both affirm that the universe had a beginning in time. Yet, this superficial agreement dissolves upon closer inspection. Keaton Halley and Lita Sanders discuss several contradictions between the big bang story and Genesis, and encourage Christians not to rely on the big bang as support for their...

Many skirmishes in the culture wars are really battles over the dictionary. We helpfully translate many evolutionary buzz-words.

What are we to make of supposed small-sized apeman? Are they human or ape? Are they ‘missing links’? Dr Robert Carter and Joel Tay discuss these unusual small sized beings: the Hobbit, Homo naledi, and H. luzonensis.

Who were the Neanderthals? Sub-human cave-dwelling brutes, or descendants of Adam and Eve, made in God’s image? The evidence from Neanderthal anatomy, culture, and DNA is consistent with a biblical worldview. Neanderthals were a fully-human post-Flood people group, not an evolutionary side branch.

Does everything revolve around the earth? What do the Bible and science say? Was the Galileo controversy really science vs religion? Why the Kepler–Newton barycentric model is great science.

The Apollo moon landings: triumph of operational science founded by creationists, especially Kepler and Newton. Conspiracy theories deny well known science.

How can we see stars over 6,000 light years away if the earth is about 6,000 years old? But the big bangers have their own distant starlight problem, and creationists have multiple working hypotheses.

Planets around other stars? Are they real and how do we know? Is there life on them? With all those planets and such a huge universe, why should God care so much about Earth?

If humans did not come from apes, then what are we to make of Lucy, Neanderthals, and Homo erectus?

Could life have arisen from non-living chemicals via chemical evolution? If life couldn’t start by itself, then Darwinian evolution could not have started, therefore it is a fiction.

Gary Bates and Robert Carter discuss an idea that is popular in some creationist circles: programmed filling. While the idea does have merits, it is limited in its scope, especially after the entry of death into the world. Programmed filling is also associated with a rejection of natural selection in general, to which CMI does not agree.
