Creation Article Podcast

The agenda of the NCSE and the Australian Skeptics is to see everyone taught that evolution explains the origins of everything, so God is unnecessary in this scientific view. This totally contradicts the clear teaching of the Bible that God is clearly revealed in what He has created.

Only the powerful runoff of Noah’s Flood would provide the force needed to slam these boulders together and hammer the percussion marks. As in so many other parts of the world, the evidence for the global deluge is overwhelming.

Historical science gets progressively less reliable the further back in time it goes. It is for this reason that creationists are justified in being skeptical of the way forensic scientists make claims about the ultra-distant (alleged) past.

The warnings given to Noah’s generation are terrifyingly relevant today. When God's mercy is rejected, then His judgment must and will fall. But, as in the days of Noah, so now God has both given warning of the judgment to come and provided a way of salvation.

From a straightforward view of the evidence from these and other real-world examples, surely it’s obvious: natural selection can eliminate, but never create. And we see that mutations are no help to the microbes-to-man evolutionary storyline either.

Conflicting radioactive dating results are reported all the time and, on their own, there is no way of knowing what they mean. So geologists research how other geologists have interpreted the other rocks in the area in order to find out what sort of dates they would expect. Then they invent a story to explain the numbers as part of the geological history of the area.

We see Enoch mentioned three times in the New Testament. He is included in the genealogy of Jesus in Luke 3 [https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Luke%203]. The author of Hebrews says, “By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him.”

A total eclipse is a spectacular sight that draws people from hundreds (or even thousands) of miles away, for a phenomenon that lasts only a few minutes. David wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork” (Psalm 19:1 [https://biblia.com/bible/esv/Ps%2019.1]).

Perhaps you have seen a report in the media about a rock outcrop 800 million years old and wondered how that fits with the history of the Bible. We confront the same puzzle when we read about a fossil dinosaur that lived in Jurassic times. Once you have an idea of where a feature fits into biblical history you will be able to start thinking about the processes involved in forming that feature.

Pro-choice advocates like to frame the debate as simply a matter of ‘choice’. Men aren’t even supposed to have an opinion. But if evolution is true, can there even be freedom of choice if our thoughts are simply the result of chemical reactions? Freedom to choose comes from God, who allowed us this freedom so we could choose to love Him and do His will, not choose our own selfish desires.

Within a theistic evolutionary framework, and many other ‘old earth’ views too, all members of Homo sapiens who were alive prior to the point when God made them like himself were soulless. Actually, there is irrefutable evidence that human ancestors of the genus Homo—allegedly soulless ones, according to advocates of theistic evolution—were spiritually aware beings, that they had a concept of an a...

The question has been raised: have we learned our lesson? We are in a spiritual battle against powerful adversaries and the enemies of the Gospel are not going to stop. But we have the Creator of the universe on our side.

The Bible itself is a historical record that is often discounted, but over and over again it has been shown that it accurately speaks about people, places, and events in the ancient world. While we believe that as the Word of God it is more than a historical document, it is not less.

It is evident that beliefs stemming from antiquity regarding the existence of mythical creatures continued into the early modern period, despite clear statements of caution from Augustine. Popular superstition and mythology filtered into the minds of many academics when faced with new, but limited numbers of primate specimens from Africa and Asia.

The assumption that Darwin did not convert is relatively easy to reconcile with the available evidence. In contrast, the notion that he did become a Christian seems to me to be very difficult to reconcile with several aspects. In any case, the truth or otherwise of creation or evolution is not affected by whether or not Darwin changed his mind.

Scientific American: “in the lingo of evolutionary biology, natural selection favored those cats that were able to cohabit with humans and thereby gain access to the trash and mice.” In contrast, the supposed evolution pathway from primordial cell to Persian cats, pumas and panthers requires an increase in genetic information.

Genesis 11 implies that the Flood survivors set out westward from a camp not far to the east of the plain of Shinar in southern Iraq. A map shows that the camp must have been in the western part of the Zagros mountains.

Hell is a place of judgment and torment prepared for Satan and the angels who rebelled with him. But why do humans also go there? Really, the question that should boggle our minds is not “How can God send people to Hell?” but “How can God save people from Hell?” If this makes us uncomfortable to think about, it should, because every person outside Christ faces that penalty.

What are creationists to do with the word fossil? It seems there are two choices. Either creationists can redefine fossil to fit the creationary viewpoint every time we use it, or invent a new word.

The rainbow is a spectacular sight for man, the assurance we have that there will never be another global flood comes from God. He is the one who will ‘remember’ His covenant.

There is little doubt that the genuine discovery of certain objects would be both exciting and a powerful witness to the truth of the biblical record. However, we need to be careful not to become like some medieval pilgrims, keen to have relics to supplement (or supplant) the worship of the living God.

Dr Robert Gatenby has pioneered a move to change cancer treatment from eradication to management. Wired reports: “unlike your typical doctor, he is also obsessed with the evolutionary principles put forth more than 150 years ago by Charles Darwin.”

There is just no room for ‘billions and billions of years’ for life to evolve. And this life was not just the simplest type, but was advanced enough to photosynthesize.

Many things cause darkness in the world, and if the plants could not move toward the light, or capture the energy in it, they would not survive, and neither would we. It is all part of God’s clever design for our world.

Most Christians in the western world would admit that despite many Christian influences the culture is becoming less ‘Christian’ all the time. As God’s people we must make a united stand to affect those around us for Christ, but that stand can only succeed if it is based on the authority of the Word of God.
