Today's Creation Moment

According to evolution, life began in the sea. However, because the land was better for life, evolution developed land life from sea life. It was on land that mammals evolved, according to evolution. Here, though, evolution has painted itself into a corner. Or perhaps it is better to say that evolutionists have fallen into one of the traps set for them by the Creator. You see, the largest creature...

There are five known groups of orchids that throw their pollen. These flowers are designed with mechanical flower structures that work as triggers. Some types use a bee's back to trigger the pollen discharge. Another uses, yes, the bee's knees.   Ref: Batten, Mary. 1983. "Sex & plants." Science Digest, Oct. p. 61.

Even though many frogs live much of their lives out of the water, they need water to reproduce. This can be a problem since some frogs live in trees and some even live in the desert!   Ref: Wilder, Rachel. 1983. "Flying frogs." Science Digest, Nov. p. 120.

Hydraulic machines are part of our everyday lives. When you step on the brakes in your car, brake fluid, which cannot be compressed, is forced from a cylinder into the braking mechanism attached to your wheels. Hydraulic mechanisms work because fluid cannot expand, but it will easily flow to areas where there is less pressure.   Ref: Tributsch, Helmut. 1983. "How spiders stretch." Science Digest ,...

  There are between 10,000 and 15,000 species of orchids. While you surely are not familiar with all of them, it sounds strange to talk about orchid behavior. This huge variety of orchids offers a multitude of different flower shapes, colors and sizes. Each unique shape, color and size is perfectly suited to the bees, butterflies, bats, moths, flies and birds that are involved in that orchid's pol...

  It sounds silly to ask whether bacteria can think. However, science has known for more than 100 years that the little guys can indeed think. Experiments in 1883 conducted by Wilhelm Pfeffer showed that bacteria will swim toward good food like chicken soup and away from poisons such as mop disinfectant. Ref: Pietsch, Paul. 1983. "The mind of a microbe." Science Digest, Oct. p. 69. Photo: Chicken...

While the Bible teaches us that sex is a wonderful gift of God, evolutionists believe that sexual reproduction should not have evolved. According to evolutionists, if sexual reproduction were to develop, evolution is supposed to get rid of it.   Ref: Batten, Mary. 1983. "Sex & plants." Science Digest , Oct. p. 59.

  When the piranha is mentioned, nearly everyone thinks of a picture of a herd of cattle crossing the Amazon – and splish, splash – nothing is left but bones. Actually, the piranha is a rather interesting fish. It certainly seems to be the bearer of a few tricks the Creator wanted to play on those who want to explain the world without Him. Ref: "The piranha's fishy feeding habits." Science Digest...

Modern skeptics of the Bible, including skeptics within the church, often deny the Bible's description of God's actions in the ten plagues against Egypt. However, our growing knowledge of ancient Egypt tells us that the plagues described in the Bible were exactly what God Himself said that they were.

Some creatures are so bizarre that they suggest a lesson to us. Yet even in their strangeness we see that they have been perfectly provided for by their Creator. Photo: Sloth in tree – Pixabay.com

Back in 1836, well-known astronomer Sir John Herschel wrote a series of articles for the New York Sun reporting his discovery of life on the moon. Image:    Rough image of the lithograph of the “ruby amphitheater” described in The Sun (New York City) newspaper (August 28, 1835) (PD)

You might not think of the crocodile as a particularly loving creature. In reality, the crocodile is among the most gentle and loving of parents.   Photo: Crocodile – Pixabay.com

Imagine a huge living creature covering about one square mile and made up of almost a third of a billion cells. Imagine each of those living cells being able to move about independently of the others. Note: Photo: Wood ant mound by Hans – Pixabay.com

How certain are evolutionists of evolution? Of course, no believer in evolution is going to go on national television and say that he is not sure of evolution. However, within the scientific community, those who really know the facts don’t always sound so convinced of their arguments. Notes: Photo – Karl Popper (PD)

If God created, but He did so by evolution, it means that there were many generations and billions of deaths before the first man appeared on the scene. Does Scripture say anything about this? Photo: Gravestone – Pixabay.com  

  Many Christians are willing to accept what Genesis has to say about creation with one exception. They don’t want to accept the six days as literal, natural, approximately 24-hour days. Photo: Stained glass window of Moses with the ten commandments – Pixabay.com  

Many, if not most, of the leaders of the creationist movement today were once evolutionists. Most of them once believed that God created, but that He created through evolution. Image: Sign post.

Let’s be honest. If you believe God created, but that He used evolution to do so, you have to answer a difficult question. Does evolution allow the supernatural to take place? Photo: Bible on table – Pixabay.com

Nearly 50% of the people in the United States, including many Christians, believe that God did indeed create all things. Unfortunately, they believe He used evolution as His instrument of creation. Photo: Man kneeling at cross – Pixabay.com

How old is the universe? Evolutionary scientists talk about how radiometric dating methods prove the universe and the earth are billions of years old. Let’s look at all the methods scientists could use. Image: Stars – Pixabay.com

Nearly everyone just “knows” that if enough monkeys were allowed to pound away at typewriters for enough time, they would eventually produce all the great works of literature. But there are some fundamental laws of science and some very simple commonsense facts that show this claim to be nonsense. Photo: Antique typewriter -Pixabay.com

It has been said that if you take a frog and turn it into a man by adding a kiss, you have a fairy tale. But if you take a frog and turn it into a man by adding millions of years, you have science. Photo: Frog on lily pad – Pixabay.co
