Answering Tuesday’s question: Which came first, the Chicken or the Egg? We see in Gen 2 that Adam was created with enough intelligence (and maturity) to name the animals, so he was probably older than a child. We also see that God created the trees with fruit and seed in them which means that these are mature plants – since we know it may take years for some plants or trees to be old enough to have food. So we can probably say God created the mature chicken first (possibly...

How does this fit?
Have you ever tried to put a puzzle together without the picture on the lid? It’s pretty hard isn’t it? How about this – have you ever tried to put a puzzle together with the wrong picture? It’s much more confusing! This shows how important having the right worldview is – nothing makes sense unless you have the right worldview then all the pieces fit into place just right!
Read MoreWhere Did All The Water Go?
“If there really was a global flood, where did all that water go?” “How could there be a worldwide flood? We do not have enough water to cover the whole earth above the tallest mountains.” These arguments sound good on the surface until one dives a bit deeper. The answer to this question is amazingly simple yet well-known (and even Christian) scholars have never thought of it. In fact, popular “progressive Creation” teacher, Hugh...
Read More“No Intelligent Designer Would Have…”
“No Intelligent Designer would have created the eye that way – it is wired backwards!” “Is there material at the front of the retina that limits some vision? Yes! If that material wasn’t there, could we be able to see farther and in dimly lit rooms? Yes! Therefore, since I could design it better, that means there can’t be a God. Wrong! That is merely the third stage of deception that students are subtly led into. First of all, this is an argument from perceived...
Read MoreCould Adam have really named all of the animals in one day?
“There are several factors, which may not be immediately obvious to the casual reader, that need to be considered. Firstly, Adam did not have to go out and round up or track any of these animals. Genesis 2:19 clearly states that God brought the animals to Adam. Secondly, although many objectors have claimed that the species Adam had to observe and name would have numbered in the millions, the actual number would almost certainly have been only a small fraction of this. Note...

“Empirical/Operational/Observational Science: a systematic approach to understanding that uses observable, testable, repeatable, and falsifiable experimentation to understand how nature commonly behaves.” “Historical/Origins Science: interpreting evidence from past events based on a presupposed philosophical point of view.” Notice also that assumptions are critical to how accurate a conclusion may or may not be. Definitions from...
Read MoreA Full Size Floating Ark in the Netherlands?!?!
The Bible says that Noah was a preacher of righteousness (2 Pet 2:5). The ark was built over a period of 100 years and so for much of that stood as a testament to God. Today we have numerous arks that have been constructed, in the Netherlands, in China, and in Kentucky if not others and they are still proclaiming God to the world! Check this out: http://arkofnoah.org/

Here is a great argument for the existence of God. We all know certain things are inherently good or bad, and this means that there is some higher standard and thus some higher power. See more in this video....
Read MoreA Common Memory!!
Pyramids, henges, and the similarities in many worldwide legends are evidences that people were remembering the same common memory of a common event in the past – The Tower of Babel. We also see these historical evidences (including evidence of intelligence and civilization appearing out of nowhere) as fitting best with the Biblical accounts of human history as opposed to the slow evolution of dumb cave-men slowly evolving. These are evidences that the Bible is True! See...
Read MoreWhat do you mean by that?
What do you mean by that? How did you come to that conclusion? Recently, a couple of AOI staff members were blessed with the opportunity to take a church youth group to California to do surveys on the beach and college campus. Surveying and Evangelism can be a scary and intimidating thing for anyone let alone our high school students. But we learned a ton on that trip including how to use the above questions. When a person on the street makes a claim – ask questions....
Read MoreEvolution…Mathematically Implausible!
A prestigious mathematician said: “a theory of evolution that depends on uniformly randomly occurring mutations cannot be the truth because the number of mutations needed to create the speciation that we observe, and the time that would be needed for those mutations to have happened by chance, exceed by thousands of orders of magnitude the time that has been available.” -Marcel-Paul Schutzenberger Read more here:...
