Petrified Forests – One Giant Flood or Many Ancient Forests?
Are Yellowstone’s Petrified Forests all due to one great flood or did they slowly form as multiple forests over thousands of years? “Because he believed the biblical framework, geologist Dr John Morris predicted in 1975 that trees in different layers of the Yellowstone formations would have matching patterns, rather than completely different ones.6 Years later, Dr Michael Arct analyzed cross-sections of 14 trees in different levels spanning seven meters (23...
Read MoreHow do we best interpret ancient human archaeology?
Here is a great article showing the difficulty and assumptions necessary of dating stone age man. Use this as a reference for best interpreting human history. It shows evidence of how different “stages” of human innovation that has supposed occurred over tens or hundreds of thousands of years could be understood better as actually contemporaneous groups of dispersing people within only a few thousand years till now since the flood. In fact, the article gives evidence...
Read MoreAre Creationists Against Science? Are We “Science-Stoppers”?
“Instead, tissue remaining in dinosaur bones is far more consistent with an age of thousands of years. While this is contrary to popular teachings, science is driven by discoveries that challenge the status quo of our understanding and open doors to new conclusions. Dismissing data that does not fit with current thinking always has the potential to be a “science stopper”—freezing the state of knowledge on a specific subject. It also can discourage critical analysis...
Read MoreCan Dino Proteins Last 65 Million Years?
Or is this good evidence that it is not that old?? “He acknowledges that certain conditions may slow the rate of degradation, “but not by a lot.”19 “Since proteins decay in an orderly fashion,” he considers it very unlikely that any condition “could arrest protein degradation for tens of millions of years.”20 In other words, Dr. Collins knows proteins are far from immortal. Thus, he faces the conundrum of his evolutionist position: protein cannot last millions...
Read MoreAngular Momentum – a BIG Problem for a Natural Solar System Formation!
“Consider our sun with a mass representing 99.86% of the mass of the solar system but only 1% of its angular momentum.7 The planets on the other hand have a total combined mass of only 0.14% of the mass of the solar system yet 99% of its angular momentum (mostly in Jupiter). Most of the angular momentum of any solar system must reside initially in the central core of the collapsing cloud, which eventually becomes the star, according to the theory. Basic physics tells...
Read MoreHow Do Planets Develop?
“Computer models cannot explain how dust particles stick together due to gravity. As grain size increases, so does the mean collision velocity, which would cause grains to break into smaller pieces.6 Simulations show that meter-sized particles have the highest drift speeds, about 100 m/s. This makes it quite challenging to grow to larger than meter sized objects, since collision speeds of this order will rather destroy the bodies via fragmentation or erosion.6,8...
Read MoreLearning and Growing!
Here is a scientist who became a Christian, but struggled with the Creation and Evolution topic. He started studying Creation Science, but it took him around 10 years – see his words here: ‘I didn’t like these new ideas, but I realized I had to pay attention to them because they were properly justified. It took me a decade of reading more creationist literature before I made the switch completely.’ He says that his ‘conversion to trusting what God taught in the...
Read MoreMADE IN HIS IMAGE!
“Psychology, the study of the mind of man, points to the uniqueness of man in creation. Since man was made in the image of God, he has capabilities far beyond any other creature. The following is a partial list of attributes that are uniquely human: Complex emotions Individual creativity Moral consciousness Appreciation of beauty Ability to think abstractly Capacity to love and worship God Ability to articulate symbolic speech No animal shares these characteristics....
Read MoreGood Hair Day!
Human hair is actually a complex functioning feature, not just a simple cosmetic addition to our bodies. Not only does hair provide warmth and enhanced appearance, but hair is an integral part of the body’s protection system. Eyelashes protect our eyes by triggering them to almost instantly and involuntarily close when dust strikes the lashes. Body hair serves as tiny levers. Each hair is connected to a muscle which squeezes oil from adjacent glands that keep our skin...
Read MoreNote to Critics
“Let the critic of young-earth creationists realize that there is a host of evidence for biblical Earth history as defined from the Scripture. Critics should apply the scholarly approach by examining these issues beyond the superficial level. Flood geology has progressed a huge amount since the time of Whitcomb and Morris,1 but because the Earth sciences are so complex, there are still many unknowns and some issues have not been worked out. This is where it is good...
