Today's Creation Moment

Jesus talked about "the sign of Jonah" when He was being asked about signs. He said it was the only sign that would be given to that generation. He then proceeded to tell them what the sign meant.

Most people are familiar with the story of Jonah and the whale. However, by calling it a story, some people want to cast doubt upon the key event of the account. Image: Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.

It is almost like a religious catechism to state that apes and humans share a common ancestor from which they have both evolved. Photo: Neanderthal Skeleton and Reconstruction, CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

The Aye-Aye is one of the strangest little monkeys on earth. Its peculiar features bear witness that it was specially designed and created to fill a unique niche in nature, not a chance development of evolution. Photo: Wild Aye-Aye. Courtesy of nomis-simon. (CC BY 2.0)

Dinosaur fossil hunters and paleontologists have long debated whether dinosaurs were warm-blooded or cold-blooded.   Photo: Reconstructed skeleton of a Thescelosaurus at the Burpee Museum of Natural History in Rockford, Illinois. Courtesy of Ben Jacobson. (CC BY 2.5)

"Survival of the fittest" is an essential principle of evolution. This principle has not only been applied to animals, but also to human beings, as a social theory. Scientists, however, are learning that cooperation among animals is more often the rule. Photo: Capuchin monkey-Pixabay.com

For generations cave guides have been telling cave visitors that the stalagmites and stalactites that they see around them grow at incredibly low rates. The figure that is usually given is one inch per century for stalactites (they are the ones that hang down). Now a group of scientists who believe in young Earth creationism has studied the chemistry of stalagmite and stalactite formation in actua...

Most mammals in Australia are marsupials. That is one of the things that makes Australia so special to those of us elsewhere in the world who may never have been there. Yet, there is one placental mammal that is associated with Australia, as a typical wild animal. That is the wild dog known as the dingo. mage: Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic.

The significance of Newton’s historical writings is that he compared biblical timescales to those of other nations and peoples. He started with an important presupposition – that the biblical timescale is correct.   Image: Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.

It is less well known that Newton wrote a lot about history and theology. He accepted a biblical timescale of events. Image: Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.

An article in the New Scientist magazine suggests that the Reformation was a spur to scientific development. In their minds, Luther was a rebel, and it was this attitude of rebellion that led to the free-thinking required for modern science to develop.   Image:  Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.

Genesis is one book. That might seem pretty obvious to many of you, and yet sometimes we have given the impression that it is two books. The first book runs from chapter one through chapter eleven. The second is from chapter twelve onward. Image: Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.

There has been a tendency among some evangelicals to worry about scientific opinion. For example, there has been a drive to reinterpret Genesis in the light of evolutionary theory, and, although that drive is decades old, it has accelerated among conservative evangelicals.   Image: Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.

Comets are fascinating objects. At their best, they can be spectacular objects in the sky, with beautiful tails pointing away from the Sun.   Image: Comet Hale-Bopp at Death Valley; License: Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 Unported.

The old joke goes: “What’s gray and has a trunk? A mouse on vacation.” Of course, we know that this is really the description of the world’s favorite animal, the elephant.   Image: Muhammad Mahdi Karim, GNU Free Document License 1.2.

At every stage in a supposed evolutionary process there needs to be a spontaneous production of new genetic information. Yet, the only mechanisms seen are the coding and decoding of existing information. Image: Mariana Ruiz, released to Public Domain.

When you look through the Bible, there is one interesting land animal type which is missing.   Image: Silodon populator, 1903, American Museum of Natural History, Public Domain due to age.

We know orange juice is good for you, but did you know just what it does to help you?

What does our skeleton and the bones in our bodies teach architects about building?

Evolutionists claim “music” and “language” developed independent of each other.  Did they?   ( Illustration: Approximate location of Broca's area highlighted in gray. PD)

According to evolution all life is related. So, are humans closer to worms or coral?

Humans work together and so do certain animals, but did you know some bacteria do too?   (Photo: An iridescent biofilm on the surface of a fish tank. Courtesy of Zaereth. CC-BY-PDD 1.0)
