Recently, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach a group of young students touring the US from France! I know hardly anything about France, but now I guess I know a little more. It was interesting to watch these students as they started off shy and unsure of what I was sharing with them. I was told at one point too, that as much as evolutionary thought has infiltrated the US, in France it has gone even farther. There is really no debate at all there, because Evolution...
Read MoreInvestigation and Debate within Science
“We need investigation, not arbitrary exclusion of what is scientifically unfashionable. In particular, Christian colleges, funding sources, and fellow scientists should not excommunicate young-earthers. We should encourage debate among all those who see the Bible as God’s Word but have differences in interpretation.” -Marvin Olasky, Riding the rapids, World Magazine, http://www.worldmag.com/2010/08/riding_the_rapids/page4 This quote surely describes the...
Read MoreCatastrophes and Time
“In other words, the history of any one part of the earth, like the life of a soldier, consists of long periods of boredom and short periods of terror.” -Derek Ager , The Nature of the Stratigraphical Record, pp 106, 107. This quote is from a naturalistic scientist and he admits that catastrophe is clear when looking at the fossil record and rock layers. Naturalistic scientists then assume that there are often large gaps of time between...
Read MoreBest Evidence for Evolution: Examining Common “Best Proofs” Of Evolution
(From the larger article “What’s the Evidence?”) Typically, textbooks, museums, zoos, and the popular media present a very one-sided, evolutionary approach to the question of origins, with no consideration of the possibility of creation by an intelligent designer. This section will show how data, which is usually interpreted as “proof” of evolution, can be interpreted through a different set of glasses. For study purposes, this evidence is grouped under 4...
Read More3 Nails in the Evolutionary Coffin
(From the larger article “What’s the Evidence?”) Nail #1 Mutation and Natural Selection—A Dead theory Dr. John Sanford, a top genetics researcher from Cornell University (Credentials below), has discovered that that the genetic load caused by detrimental mutations is mounting up so quickly in large genomes that Darwin’s famous “natural selection” cannot reverse it. Therefore species are not getting better, but are being driven to extinction. He concludes...
Read MoreA Crucial Question: What Is The Evidence?
One of the most important, but most difficult, things to accomplish in schools is to teach students to think. It’s easy for teachers to fall into the trap of allowing their students to just memorize all kinds of information and repeat it on a test. However, real learning entails much more than just memorizing. Real learning comes by comparing, contrasting, classifying, applying, analyzing and evaluating data. It starts with asking the right questions. Whenever we speak...
