Today's Creation Moment

Unlike other animals, octopi use a variety of strategies to solve the same problem. They can use their eight powerful arms to open clams, or they can drill through the shell and inject a fast-acting poison. In the laboratory, octopi kept in isolation were given a floating plastic bottle. The bored octopuses quickly devised a variety of games to play with the bottle - a sure sign of intelligence. P...

People often worry about the fat in nuts. However, most of that fat is the good kind that protects hearts, while at the same time satisfying the body's need for fat. Photo: Pixabay.com (PD)

John Stevens Henslow was a highly respected scientist of the 19th century. He taught both botany and mineralogy at England's Cambridge University. In addition to being a scientist and professor, he was also a devout Christian and ordained into the Anglican clergy.   Lithograph: John Stevens Henslow. (PD)

All the textbooks inform us that the speed of light is about 186,000 miles per second. This is the absolute speed limit of the universe, according to Einstein's theory of relativity, we have always been told. Should anything travel faster than that, Einstein's theory falls.

When bees are threatened by some diseases or predators, they act like sick children - they get a fever. More specifically, they give their nest a fever, sometimes raising its temperature to levels nearly fatal to themselves.   Photo: Pixabay.com (PD)

There are some pastors and teachers who tell me that it does not matter what we believe about Genesis. It does not matter if there were really six 24-hour days, or millions of years. It does not matter if there was death before Adam’s sin. It does not matter if Adam were not a real person, but an allegory. Ref: Taylor, P.F. (2007), The Six Days of Genesis Chapter 1.

Everyone knows Charles Darwin . . . but do you know there was another evolutionist who isn't quite as well known.  Ref: Encyclopaedia Britannica, , accessed 1/31/2018. Image: Public Domain.

Evidence speaks for itself, we are told. But, that is not the case. The one thing that evidence cannot do is to speak for itself. Image: Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.         

In 1814, Thomas Chalmers was a young Scottish clergyman with an interest in geology. He had grown up with the deep-time views of James Hutton, and the work of more contemporary geologists seems to have caused Chalmers difficulties in accepting these ideas along with the book of Genesis. So it was that in 1814, Chalmers wrote a review of Georges Cuvier’s book Theory of the Earth . Cuvier was a cata...

The ideas of deep-time geology are actually older than Darwin’s theory of evolution. In many ways, it was the deep-time ideas that gave birth to Darwinism, not the other way around. Image: portrait of Georges Cuvier, Public Domain.  

T he idea of plate tectonics is today such a deeply ingrained idea that many people assume the concept is completely proved and is the only obvious way to explain the Earth’s crust. Many creationists – and I include myself – would suggest that plate tectonics is indeed the best explanation, though we would not accept the evolutionary timescale, suggesting that tectonic movement must have been rapi...

There is an upper layer to the Earth’s Mantle called the Asthenosphere. This comprises of semi-molten rock. Crustal rocks of the Earth’s tectonic plates seem to almost float on this. The heavier rocks of the ocean crust float lower than the less dense rocks of the continental crust. This suggests that the rocks of the ocean floor would be older than the rocks of the continent. However, this is not...

The Westminster Confession of Faith and showed that the statement in chapter 4 it is very clear on the necessity of believing that God made the world in six literal 24-hour days. The same statement also appears at chapter 4 of the 1689 London Baptist Confession.   Image: Claes Janszoon Visscher II  (1587–1652), license: Public Domain (more than 100 years after artist’s death).

When scientific ideas seem to disagree with the Bible, Christians should hold firm. The Bible is God’s word, and oftentimes changes in those scientific ideas create renewed alignment with the Bible.

The Bible teaches that until several centuries after the Flood all people on Earth spoke the same language. The fact that many supposedly unrelated languages have similar sounding words with the same or similar meanings supports this teaching. Some language researchers say that this is simply due to chance. Now some language researchers say that they have developed another line of research that su...

While most people know that several ancient cultures built pyramids, which culture built the most? Most people would answer "Egypt", but they would be wrong. However, they did inspire the culture that built the most pyramids. Photo: Aerial view of the Nubian pyramids at Meroe. CC By SA 1.0 .

Often the most productive science is done when scientists, as one founder of modern science put it, "Think God's thoughts after Him." For example, while antibiotics have saved millions of lives, they have proven to be only a temporary solution. In addition, there are some bacterial infections that move too fast for antibiotics to be effective.   Photo: Micrograph of ''Vibrio vulnificus'' bacteria....

Let's go back to the very first moment that the supposed Big Bang took place. Evolutionists say that at that very first moment, everything was up to chance. The size and charge of electrons, protons, the structure of atoms or whether they would even exist could have been anything. Photo: Space-filling model of the oxygen molecule. (PD)

The Bible does not directly refer to abortion. Of course, there are many other issues on which the Bible does not give a specific comment. However, in many cases, it is clear what the biblical position is. I believe the same is true with the subject of abortion.   Image: Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.

Four words refute all naturalistic explanations of the universe. They refute evolution because they make clear that there was a planning intelligence behind the universe rather than blind, random chance. Image: Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.  

Did the complexity of the photosynthesis process evolved by chance. Evolutionary scientists like to point to what they refer to as simple systems from which more complex systems might have evolved, and so a recent scientific article discusses the earliest known organisms that use photosynthesis. Evolutionists assume that more complex plants could have evolved from single-celled algae, many of whic...

Green plants are green, mostly because of a green pigment called chlorophyll. Many of us learned in high school that this green pigment is what causes photosynthesis. Image: Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.
