Introduction: Rock layers are levels of sediment that build up over time. They look like bands and they usually run horizontally, but can sometimes be slanted or vertical due to its compaction and formation being on an angle like sand dunes or due to seismic activity. In rock layers, fossils can be found giving evidence of the past. How did the rock layers really form? How fast did they form? How many rock layers are there? How do the rock layers compare all over the...
Read MoreAsk Now The Beasts
“Hey, kids! Head on out to the flower garden, while I get a book from the library,” said Mr. Jones. “I want to show you some of God’s wonderful creatures.” “What’s up, Dad?” asked Billy. “This morning I was reading my Bible, and in Job, chapter 12, verse 7, it says, ‘But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee;’ I wondered, what could the animals teach me?” “Animals can’t talk, Dad. How can they teach us anything?” asked Mary. “Actually Mary, some animals can...
Read MoreThe Horned Lizard
What is a toad that is not really a toad at all? It’s the Phrynosoma, or Horned Lizard, found only in the western areas of the United States and Mexico. Usually called a Horned Toad, Horny Toad, and even Horned Frog, the Horned Lizard is neither a toad nor a frog. In fact it is not an amphibian at all. It is a reptile! The nicknames come from the horned lizard’s rounded toad-like face, and because it has a short, wide, and squat body like that of a frog or toad. Horned...
Read MoreA Biblical Model of Earth History
The book of Genesis has been called the book of origins. Though it is not a detailed “textbook,” it gives a framework for understanding the origin of space, matter, time, the earth, the universe, life, marriage, families, cultures, government, religion, languages, and people groups. For study purposes, it is helpful to divide the Biblical record of earth history into 7 major periods or events: Creation, Fall, Pre-Flood, Flood, Post-Flood, Present, and Future. While it is...
Read MoreDarwinism and the Art of Deception
It is an old proverb that the best lie is mostly true. An effective falsehood needs the fabric of truth to hold it together and make it credible. As a classic example of the ancient art of deception, consider Shakespeare’s tragedy of MacBeth. In an early scene, MacBeth is accosted by three witches, who greet him with mock courtesy and mysterious words. The first hails him as “Thane of Glamis,” the second hails him as “Thane of Cawdor,” and the third tells him that he...
Read MoreGems From Genesis – Are the Days in Genesis 1 Really Days?
My first year of college, I went to a liberal “Christian” college. I remember being taught that the days of creation were not “real” days, but were periods of time, millions of years long and were representative of the long ages of evolutionary history. This is a common belief in our world today. However, I believe that there are many reasons to reject this “Day-Age Theory” and to confidently affirm the literal accuracy of the Creation account in Genesis. First, God...
Read MoreFalse Gods Will Perish
“The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.” (Jeremiah 10:11) I often find myself thinking about Jer.10:11 as I consider the importance and the seriousness of the creation message. The people of Jeremiah’s day were worshipping idols of wood, silver, and gold which they made with their own hands. God, through Jeremiah, points out the futility of their idolatry. He tells them: “Learn not the way...
Read MoreSecularAstronomy and Logical Fallacies
Evolutionary astronomers claim to have solid scientific backing for their beliefs. But over and over again, their claims often contain the same logical flaw — a flaw to which they seem blind. Here are a few recent examples of this flaw at work. See if you can spot it. ———- Example 1: The planet Uranus has a strange characteristic. Instead of spinning like a top as it orbits the Sun, it rolls along sideways like a ball. This contradicts the secular...
Read MoreIndex Fossils: How old are they? Creation Perspective
Creation Answer: “The order of the fossil record can best be explained by hydrological sorting during Noah’s flood.[i] Currents direct the different sediment types to where they will be laid down. Animals often move in herds, flocks, or groups and thus you will find similar organisms with similar organisms. Some animals could run and climb from tidal waves for longer or fly for longer before being submerged by the catastrophic flood. Because of these abilities, we...
Read MoreMissing Links: Will we find them…or not? Creation Perspective
Creation Answer: Evolution assumes that every organism has evolved and so ultimately the burden of proof should be on them to show the transitions of every type of organism. It is okay to hypothesize that there are transitional forms in the fossil record, but at a certain point, if evidence is not found, the hypothesis should be discarded. There is little to no evidence for the transitions of: giraffes, elephants, the platypus, dinosaurs, Precambrian to Cambrian,...
Read MoreMissing Links: Will we find them…or not? Naturalistic/Evolutionary Perspective
Introduction: Missing Links are the hypothetical intermediates between two differing types of organisms, like between humans and apes. They are termed “Missing” because they are…missing. “There are missing links all over the evolutionary tree”[i] between different kinds of organisms. How many missing links are there? Are they still missing? Why are they missing? Naturalistic/Evolutionary Answer: “There are many transitional fossils.”[ii] Darwin’s tree of life...
Read MoreThe Cambrian Explosion: Fast Evolution or Flood Layers of Buried Organisms? Creation Perspective
Creation Answer: The fossil record is made up of layer after layer of rock that has been laid down by the different water currents before, during and after the flood. The fossils found within the layers are the animals that have been caught up and buried rapidly in those sediments. As the sediments build up during the flood, a sorting happens, which is natural. Lower layers, like the Precambrian, will have smaller organisms that are less able to move and escape the...
