“The history of most fossil species include two features particularly inconsistent with gradualism: 1) Stasis – most species exhibit no directional change during their tenure on earth. They appear in the fossil record looking much the same as when they disappear; morphological change is usually limited and directionless; 2) Sudden appearance – in any local area, a species does not arise gradually by the steady transformation of its ancestors; it appears...
Read More“I Live By Science…Not Faith!!”
How would you respond to the following statement? “Christians only believe based on faith. Evolutionists use evidence and reasoning.” In conversation, as we were talking about this, one good argument that we might use is that there are many people that believe in Evolution basically only on faith – having not based their belief on evidence and reasoning. So ultimately, there are some Christians that have not studied and take their position by faith, but the same is...
Read MoreMore Problems with an Anti-Creation Website!
Referring to yesterday’s linked podcast, there was actually a second part that continues the discussion regarding the misinformation from the website Talk Origins. See Part 2 here: https://www.discovery.org/multimedia/audio/2015/11/talk-origins-speciation-faq-pt-2-lack-of-evidence-for-big-claims/ If you want an in-depth look at his research – check out his very expansive article:...
Read MoreProblems with Anti-Creation Website!
On many occasions, we have been referred to a website called Talk Origins (an evolutionary devoted to refuting Creationist claims) and in many cases, I go on to their website simply to hear their best arguments against the Creation view. Check out this podcast, where the researcher explains many problems that he found in studying the Talk Origins website: http://www.discovery.org/multimedia/audio/2015/11/talk-origins-full-of-claims-but-short-on-real-evidence/ If you...
Read MoreComparing Evolution and Creation
Take a look, which one do you think makes more sense? “If evolution is true, we should expect that: There would be fossil evidence indicating the ancestor of all the dinosaurs. There would be fossil evidence of intermediate forms showing many stages in the formation of such diverse characteristics as the plates and spikes of the armoured dinosaurs (stegosaurs), the one-to-seven horns of the horned dinosaurs (ceratopian), the distinctive beaks of the duckbilled...
Read MoreGod Did Not Use Evolution!
God did not use Evolution. God’s plan was to live with man forever in the garden! Like a good father, He did not want us to have to suffer and die, but he knew that we would choose that in choosing sin. He now works through the pain, suffering, and death and amazingly works it out for good (though sometimes we can’t see or understand it). God is a good God! All the time – God is good!...
Read MoreCreation Ordered Just As God Intended!
If one were to try to fit the supposed 13.7 billion year history into the Bible, one would run into problems with the order of Creation as described in Genesis 1. According to the Bible, the Earth is created before the sun. Plants are also created before the sun – causing problems for the views that suggest that the days are long periods of time – because plants wouldn’t last more than a few days without the sun! To try to fit the long periods of time as...
Read MoreComparing Both Sides!
Take a look at these charts! There is definitely a difference of opinion in how both sides (Creation and Naturalism) interpret the same evidence and you can see the vast difference in the implications of each view. You can clearly see how depression and suicide can be caused by being taught that we are simply evolved apes and that there is no purpose in life. Oh, how marvelous are God’s ways that He would love us and want to redeem...
Read MoreHow Old is the Grand Canyon?
The Grand Canyon is a great example showing how scientists can look at the same evidence and (because of their worldview and assumptions) come up with very different conclusions. In fact, it is interesting that most secular scientists believe that the Grand Canyon has been carving for the last 6 million years, but there are many secular scientists that instead argue for between 3-5 millions, and some that argue for 17 million years and some even argue for 70 million...
Read MoreWhen 3 Equals 5?
This is one of my (Brian Mariani’s) favorite quotes showing the challenge of taking the observations from science and correctly interpreting them.
Read MoreWhat Do You See?
The way we view the world affects what we see (when wearing red glasses – the world appears more red, and therefore viewing the world in terms of evolution – that’s all you would expect to see). This is one of the main challenges in the Creation/Evolution debate. Both sides believe that they have evidence, but let’s continually try to study it deeper to look at which view makes the most...

“Such striking similarities between creation stories from numerous cultures worldwide and the Genesis account have been hard to explain for evolutionists.” Calvin Smith, Indian creation myths: The Genesis of Native American creation stories, published June 10, 2010, Creation Ministries International, http://creation.com/indian-creation-myths, accessed September 7, 2013.
