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...

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.

“All over the world we find cultural legends and myths that closely resemble certain accounts in Scripture, such as the Creation, the Fall, the Flood, and the Tower of Babel accounts.” Source: Steve Ham, Is Genesis 1-11 a Derivation from Ancient Myths?, March 29, 2011, Answers in Genesis, http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2011/03/29/derivation-from-ancient-myths, accessed September 18, 2013.

Read MoreEver Wonder Where Golf Ball Dimples Came From?
“Golf balls made during the 1800s were made with a smooth surface so it would fly farther. At some point, golfers noticed that older balls covered with nicks and grooves seemed to fly farther. By the 1930s, the standard golf ball was covered with dimples. Just as golf balls are designed with “dimples,” so is shark skin. To swim faster, a shark bristles with its denticles, causing tiny whirlpools to form within the cavities between the denticles. These tiny...

Recently, my family and I were blessed to be able to help lead the Yellowstone Creation Tour and we had a blast! We had beautiful weather, we saw a lot of animals, and had great fellowship praising God and enjoying His creation together. Now, here is a confession…I am a nerd. I get excited about the furthering education about all of the history, the facts and the creation evidence as seen at Yellowstone and it is just an amazing experience to be able to go...
Read MoreEvolutionary Claim: “The Laws of Logic exist now because we have higher evolved brain chemistry.”
Answer: “If the laws of logic are just electro-chemical connections in the brain, then they would differ somewhat from person to person because everyone has different connections in their brain,” and thus they would be an arbitrary standard, not universal. “Rational debate would be impossible.” Jason Lisle, Atheism: An Irrational Worldview, October 10, 2007, Answers in Genesis,...
Read MoreDid Adam and Eve have Belly Buttons?
Since Adam and Eve were not born of a woman, it is possible that they may not have had belly buttons since they didn’t need an umbilical cord connecting them to a mother. This likely was yet another reminder and evidence to the people living in that day of the fact that God specially created Adam and Eve. Think of it, young children for hundreds of years could have gone to visit great-great-great Grandpa Adam and great-great-great Grandma Eve to ask “Can we see your...
Read MoreWhich came first, the Chicken or the Egg?
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...

Imagine what Noah felt like – knowing God’s plan for more than a hundred years building the ark and even the last seven days before the flood. And Noah was obedient, are we obedient to God’s calling on our lives? pic.twitter.com/Hnw3ykJJTN
