God is a great Communicator. From the very beginning of time, He has been speaking. Just notice how often the phrase “God said” appears in Genesis 1. Truly, the universe was created by His powerful Word. Hebrews 11:3 says, “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” Then, after creating man, God established communication with him. Even after Adam fell into sin, God came...
Read MoreGod’s Created Creatures Communicate
Not only does God communicate through His creation and to mankind, we also see that many of His creatures are also able to communicate in unique and interesting ways. Consider the following examples: Ants have always been known for being masters of communication. Mary Jo and I confirmed that while watching ants in a huge ant farm in a natural history museum. One ant was carrying a very large load when it stumbled crossing a narrow “log bridge.” It continued to grasp its...
Read MoreHints of Life on Saturn Moon
If you saw an article with this title, what would you think? Obviously, you’d think somebody had found evidence for life on one of Saturn’s moons. Well, the title is real. But its implication is not. The article appeared earlier this year in New Scientist [2], a respected scientific journal. It described an analysis of certain chemicals on Saturn’s moon Titan. The analysis did not reveal any evidence of life. Instead, evolutionists are speculating that...
Read MoreThe Moon is dry, the evolutionary model is saved. Oops, maybe not. Never mind again
In 2008, a shocking discovery was announced. Scientists had analyzed some lunar soils that Apollo astronauts had brought back from the Moon over 30 years earlier. They found that the soils contained traces of water. Not only that, the water was contained within tiny spheres of volcanic glass. This means that there’s water deep inside the Moon, not just on the surface. In fact, the concentration of water down there might even be comparable to the concentration of water...
Read MorePeppered Moths Revisited
Students, do you like being misled? Consider a classic “centerpiece” of evolution that has been taught for 50 years. Textbooks show photos of light and dark colored moths camouflaged on light and dark tree trunks. Texts and many teachers then tell a convincing story about the moths being “proof” positive for Darwin’s idea of natural selection and resulting evolution. The story goes like this: Before the industrial revolution in Great Britain, a large number of light-colored...
Read MoreProfessor What Would it Take for You to Believe?
Many years ago, Mary Jo & I spent a full evening answering a professor’s arguments for evolution and presenting a solid case for creation. About midnight it dawned on us that nothing was penetrating. We asked the professor what he would accept as evidence in favor of a Creator. He replied, “Absolutely nothing!” I wished we had asked that question 5 hours earlier! Just recently we asked another professor the same question. His response was (rough quote from memory), “If...
Read MoreMay Have, Might Have, Could Have. The “Scientific Answer” to Design
“The final evolution of the flagellum might then have involved only the novel recombination of sophisticated parts that initially evolved for other purposes.” – Scientific American’s attempt to discredit design It is interesting how many evolutionary “explanations” are hedged by the words, “may have, might have, or could have.” This is quite acceptable if the words are used to indicate a hypothesis, or an educated guess to be tested. However, what...
Read MoreThe Bible and Archaeology
Archaeology The systematic study of past human life and culture by the recovery and examination of remaining material evidence, such as graves, buildings, tools, and pottery. Source: kids.yahoo.com/reference/dictionary/english The Bible speaks about hundreds of ancient cities, kings, names, and events. Is everything written in the Bible really true? Important discoveries in archeology (sometimes spelled archaeology) have shown that the...
Read More“Race” and Politics
With the election campaign in full swing, we anticipate a very common question at our seminars this fall: “How do you explain the origin of the races?” Our answer to this question almost got us tarred and feathered one time. We had said that all “races” originated from Adam and Eve, and more recently from Noah and his family. Therefore, we aren’t so distant from our black brothers and sisters. Whew! Some of those in attendance didn’t want to hear that! It was a small...
Read MoreGems From Genesis – How Did All the Skin Colors Arise?
A common question of skeptics of the Bible and even of some Bible-believing Christians is, “If we all came from Adam and Eve, why are there so many different skin colors?” There is a good answer, which is consistent with both the Bible and with well-known genetic principles. I will deal with the genetic principles in the next article (The Origin of the Races), but let’s review here the Biblical foundations for answering this question. The early chapters of Genesis reveal...
Read MoreThe Origin of the Races
The explanation of the origin of “races” is given by simple genetic principles. (For those of you who freaked out in high school biology, hang in there! I will try my best to make this understandable. Geneticists, please bear with the simplification!) All right, here we go! Our “looks” are determined by genes. Genes coding for a particular trait (like skin color) can come in a variety of forms called “alleles.” Sometimes these alleles appear to be of equal strength,...
Read MoreGems From Genesis – What Happened to God’s Good Earth?
In our last Gems From Genesis article,, we focused on Genesis 1:31: “And God saw that it was very good.” And truly it was, but as we look around our world today, we see many things that are NOT good. How do we reconcile these things with the Bible? How do we reconcile them with a loving, powerful Creator God? We need to read further in Genesis. Genesis 3 describes the steps leading up to the tragic event that theologians have come to call The Fall. The first human...
