“Nearly every line in Paul’s Areopagus address seems tailored to the cultural errors and misconceptions of the Greeks. This made his message very relevant to them because it addressed particular areas where they needed correction, and where they needed to repent. Some think it is offensive or unloving to engage in this type of dialogue, but provided we do this “with gentleness and respect” (1 Peter 3:15), it is actually one of the most loving ways we can engage with...

Are humans different than animals or are we just evolved animals? When I ask people, I have found that a large majority realize that there is more to us as humans than simply an evolved type of ape-like creature. It is clear that we are different based on our conscience, morality, ability to critically think and communicate. It may be slightly possible that those are all evolved traits, but given scientific evidence, we want to come to the reasonable conclusions....

We couldn’t agree more: “State education is never neutral, and today it is usually evolutionary and secular (i.e. atheistic). At best, the truth claims of Christianity are relegated to subjective opinion, and at worst they are contradicted entirely.” How can we at AOI help you? How about some teaching for you and your group? Hosting an Event Read more here too:...

“Concluding that a body structure is poorly designed, as Oxford University Ph.D. Professor Hafer claims, instead of asking why the existing design exists, is a science stopper. The ‘why’ question motivates research into the reasons for the design. When this approach was applied to the human appendix, the tonsils, the backward retina, and the many putative other examples of supposed poor design, good reasons for the existing designs were found in all cases. The same...

Did we observe Evolution when killfish were able to start living in polluted waters? “there is nothing ‘evolutionary’ in what the researchers observed and documented, in the sense of any evidence of mutation-derived increase in genetic information as microbe-to-man evolution requires. The killifish mutations were already present in the clean-water populations, ready for natural selection to act upon when the environment turned toxic. (Natural selection can only act...

“Various marine engineering studies done on the sea worthiness of Noah’s Ark indicate that it was incredibly stable. See for example Safety investigation of Noah’s Ark in a seaway. Engineer Werner Gitt also did a stability study on the Ark and concluded it was remarkably stable in fierce seas. He presented a paper on this at a CMI conference (see How Well Designed was Noah’s Ark?).” Read more here:...

“It was the God of the Bible who gave people unalienable rights. And it was the Bible and Christianity that convinced the Founders that it was true. Without Christianity, you don’t have unalienable rights, and without unalienable rights you don’t have the United States of America. Government cannot give unalienable rights. That requires a Higher Power that our nation recognizes. A secular country cannot give you unalienable rights. There is no higher power there than...

“A “quick shot” response: There are a number of ways to answer this objection. Here is just one suggestion (of three) from the Quick Shot section of” their phone app (https://coldcasechristianity.com/the-cold-case-christianity-app/): “What do you mean by ‘loving?’ A loving God must also be just, or His love is little more than an empty expression. If everyone was offered the same experience in the afterlife, how loving (or fair) would it be for Mother...

Why does this myth live on? “Comparison of whole genomes has revealed much greater differences than 1%, and yet the myth of 1% persists. Why? Why does Science perpetuate the myth in 2012? In 2007 Cohen cited geneticist Svante Pääbo, a chimp consortium member at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Germany, as saying, “In the end, it’s a political and social and cultural thing about how we see our differences.”2 Perhaps evolutionists will not let go...
