At AOI, we often are reminded that as modern-day Christians, we are in a battle for hearts and minds. That fact is clearly illustrated by the perspective of the devout humanist who said: “I am convinced that the battle for humankind’s future must be waged and won in the public school classroom by teachers who correctly perceive their role as the proselytizers of a new faith: a religion of humanity that recognizes and respects the spark of what theologians call...
Read MoreOrder of Fossils
“The general order in which fossils are found also supports the Flood model, as it reflects the stages of burial during the year of the Flood. For example, bottom-dwelling sea creatures were buried first, then fish, followed by the slow-moving land animals unable to flee to higher ground. The larger animals were buried late in the Flood as they continued to move to higher ground until unable to escape the rising Flood waters.” “For preservation to occur through...
Read MoreMajor Fossils All in One Layer!
“One example [of a variety of major fossils found all in one layer] is seen in Canada’s Yoho National Park, high in the Rocky Mountains. Fossils from nearly all the major animal groups (phyla), including the vertebrates, are found in the same rock layers. The evolutionary scientists have no reasonable explanation for this sudden appearance of complex life-forms, let alone all of them at virtually the same time, and very early in their supposed evolutionary...
Read MoreDinosaurs in Pompeii??!!
Recently, dinosaur fossils have come from an area in China, nicknamed “‘Chinese Pompeii’ because it was assumed the animals had been killed by volcanic gases and buried at the same time under clouds of ash from erupting volcanoes.” It turns out that they were buried by water-laid volcanic sediments. One researcher said, “It was difficult to distinguish the water-carried ash from airfall ash.”[i] So here we have secular archaeologists admitting yet another example of fossils...
Read MoreBest Evidence for Evolution: Examining Common “Best Proofs” Of Evolution
(From the larger article “What’s the Evidence?”) Typically, textbooks, museums, zoos, and the popular media present a very one-sided, evolutionary approach to the question of origins, with no consideration of the possibility of creation by an intelligent designer. This section will show how data, which is usually interpreted as “proof” of evolution, can be interpreted through a different set of glasses. For study purposes, this evidence is grouped under 4...
Read MoreGreat Evidences for Creation
(From the larger article “What’s the Evidence?”) Intelligent Design or Blind Chance? It’s a Battle of Worldviews! Dr. Scott Todd says, “Even if all the data point to an intelligent designer, such an hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not naturalistic.” (Correspondence to Nature, September 30, 1999) So much for truth! However, Todd’s statement clearly reflects the philosophical viewpoint of Naturalism. This belief system teaches that...
Read More3 Nails in the Evolutionary Coffin
(From the larger article “What’s the Evidence?”) Nail #1 Mutation and Natural Selection—A Dead theory Dr. John Sanford, a top genetics researcher from Cornell University (Credentials below), has discovered that that the genetic load caused by detrimental mutations is mounting up so quickly in large genomes that Darwin’s famous “natural selection” cannot reverse it. Therefore species are not getting better, but are being driven to extinction. He concludes...
