Today's Creation Moment

At one time the tropics may have extended into what are today polar regions. However, the Bible and evolutionary geology don’t agree on how long ago that was. Bible-believing geologists, on the other hand, are reporting evidence to support the Bible’s story of history.

The silk produced by spiders is very different from the silk produced by silkworms in some very important ways. While silkworm silk is strong yet not prone to stretching, spiders make silk that is both strong and stretchy. They also make several different kinds of silk, each with its own purpose.

The book, entitled The Blind Watchmaker , tried to show that the design we see in the creation is simply an illusion. 

Most of us were amazed when we first learned that physicians in ancient Egypt did brain surgery. Even more amazing is that the skulls of their patients showed healing: they accomplished such complicated surgery without killing their patients. That physicians had the knowledge to do such delicate operations thousands of years ago challenges the modern, evolutionary view that humans began as primiti...

It should be obvious that attentive parents are a blessing to their children. However, as we look around us, we see too many examples of inattentive parenting. Scientists in Canada have experimentally demonstrated one of the benefits of attentive parenting. Photo: Courtesy of Pixabay. (PD)  

According to the Bible, Noah's Ark was 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. It was built of a type of wood called "gopher wood." This may have been laminated wood, but it was wood. However, skeptics claim that even today wooden boats cannot be made that large simply because wood is not strong enough to endure the huge stresses generated by such a large structure; they say only iron can en...

Many people do not want dandelions in our garden because thye are classed as weeds, and they have a tendency to take over large areas,  But, did you know pretty much every part of a dandelion plant can be put to some useful purpose?

"One day, long long ago, before the white man came to America, a party of Sioux Indian warriors were out hunting. They had left their village far behind. Before they realized it, the group of braves found themselves alone in the bare and rocky badlands of the West. Suddenly the sky darkened…. There was a clap of thunder that shook the earth. Looking up in terror, the Indians thought they saw the s...

The Moon is covered with craters. Other bodies in the Solar System are also covered with craters. If you look at an unlabeled photograph of Mercury, it is likely that you would simply assume it was the Moon because the cratering is so similar. Such craters have only been discovered since the advent of spacecraft to view the planets close up, so it was not until 1965, when the Mariner 4 craft flew...

Like burning embers removed from the fire, when believers fail to be a regular part of their faith community, believers' faith, too, cools to the temperature around it. Notes: Science News, 6/3/00, p. 359, "Religious commitment linked to longer life." Courtesy: Pixabay

Genes carry the biological information to make specific living things. Evolution says that simpler living things evolved first, and more complex life evolved later. This would lead us to believe that more complex living things would have developed more genes. Photo: Side view of fruit fly. Courtesy of Karl Magnacca. (CC BY-SA 2.5)

We take the sky for granted. It is just there. Yet, whether it is covered with cloud, or clear, we do not consider the fact that, during the daytime, all of the sky is somewhat light. In particular, on a clear day, the sky appears blue. The blueness itself is remarkable, given that the sun is yellow, but why is the sky any color at all? . Image: PiccoloNamek at En.

Curiously, the bones of the famous "Lucy"  are always mounted in such a way as to give the impression of a creature looking much like a human being. However, this presentation is extremely deceptive since, apart from the shape of the pelvis, knee, and ankle joints, the bodily proportions are distinctly ape-like.

It is generally assumed by schoolteachers and the media that fossilization is a painfully slow process. In fact, there are many contemporary evolutionists who know that fossilization can be much more rapid.

What is an exoplanet? An exoplanet is a planet orbiting a star other than our own sun. You might suppose that they were discovered by peering through a telescope in the same way that planets like Uranus and Neptune and the dwarf planet Pluto were discovered. However, this is not the case.   Image: NASA, Public Domain
