“Camels have red blood cells that are shaped flat, oval, and much smaller than human red blood cells. Human red blood cells are round. When humans become dehydrated, our blood becomes “sluggish” as the blood cells get stuck; a 5% water loss can result in serious medical problems. For humans, a 12 % water loss can result in death by dehydration; but not so for a camel, with its smaller, flatter, oval-shaped red blood cells. Even as the camel’s water level drops,...
Read More“Where are all the bodies???”
Can you imagine stumbling across 4 billion skeletons? – “Where are all the bodies???” “Evolutionists also claim there was a ‘Stone Age’ of about 100,000 years11 when between one million and 10 million people lived on Earth. Fossil evidence shows that people buried their dead, often with artefacts—cremation was not practised until relatively recent times (in evolutionary thinking). If there were just one million people alive during that time, with an average...
Read MoreFunny Addition to Some Significant Evidence!
Did you hear about the scientific paper (explained here: https://phys.org/news/2018-05-gene-survey-reveals-facets-evolution.html) that showed “that 90 percent of animal life, genetically speaking, is roughly the same age”? How do we correctly interpret that scientific evidence? Notice that that is continually the question that we have to ask – and that shows that everyone is forced to say that their assumptions affect how the data is interpreted. Note the following...
Read MoreDoes the Age of the Earth and Science matter to Christianity??
Does a belief in the ancient Earth lead to Atheism? Charles Templeton “was more famous than his team-mate at the time, Billy Graham.” “Then things changed. Templeton had long had doubts about the history in Genesis, which is foundational to the entire structure of the Gospel, and how it seemed to contradict the ‘scientific facts’. Logically, ‘millions of years’ meant that the fossils were laid down long before man, hence before sin. But the fossils showed death,...
Read MoreAre Young Earth Beliefs New?
Some have claimed that “for the last 2000 years most Christians have not believed in a young earth and it is only in the last half century that it has become a big issue for some Christians.” Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Wesley and many of the great Christian commentary authors have considered the age of the Earth to be young. See this resource: https://creation.com/british-scriptural-geologists-in-the-first-half-of-the-nineteenth-century-part-1#interpretation The...
Read MoreDoes the age of the Earth matter to Christians?
“This question implies the Earth’s age, like its shape, can be directly measured—well it can’t, it’s a category-mistake.3 Earth’s age can only be inferred and depends upon the worldview of the investigator. The philosophical assumptions behind these dating techniques invalidate any supposed claim for rocks being reliable clocks, so are not “proven results of science”” See more about this question and 9 other questions here:...
Read More“There is no evidence for a ‘Young Earth’!” – Or is there?
“There is much powerful and positive evidence for a young earth, including dinosaur soft tissue discovered in dinosaur bones supposedly hundreds of millions of years in age; or the presence of carbon 14 in diamonds, coal, oil and other fossils; or global geological formations that can only be explained by invoking continental scale catastrophic flooding, such as planation surfaces, and water gaps; or the amount of salt in the world’s oceans, etc. For an extensive...
Read MoreEvangelism must confront the errors of the culture
“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...
Read MoreJust Evolved Animals??
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....
Read MoreIs it really neutral…??
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:...
Read MoreIs believing in Design stopping the progress of science…or not?
“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...
Read MoreDid we observe evolution…??
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...
