“Paleontologists just were not seeing the expected changes in their fossils as they pursued them up through the rock record. … That individual kinds of fossils remain recognizably the same throughout the length of their occurrence in the fossil record had been known to paleontologists long before Darwin published his Origin. Darwin himself, … prophesied that future generations of paleontologists would fill in these gaps by diligent search … One...
Read MoreAwe, Wonder, Worship!
Often I read evolutionary statements like the following. Notice that evolutionists often speak with almost religious language and this makes me think that they worship and serve the creation rather than the Creator (Remember – Rom 1:25). “Charles Darwin, of course, belonged to the second group, and expressed the beauty of evolution in the famous final paragraph of the book that started it all—On the Origin of Species (1859): There is grandeur in this view of life,...
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 MoreAre Creationists Against Science? Are We “Science-Stoppers”?
“Instead, tissue remaining in dinosaur bones is far more consistent with an age of thousands of years. While this is contrary to popular teachings, science is driven by discoveries that challenge the status quo of our understanding and open doors to new conclusions. Dismissing data that does not fit with current thinking always has the potential to be a “science stopper”—freezing the state of knowledge on a specific subject. It also can discourage critical analysis...
Read MoreLearning and Growing!
Here is a scientist who became a Christian, but struggled with the Creation and Evolution topic. He started studying Creation Science, but it took him around 10 years – see his words here: ‘I didn’t like these new ideas, but I realized I had to pay attention to them because they were properly justified. It took me a decade of reading more creationist literature before I made the switch completely.’ He says that his ‘conversion to trusting what God taught in the...
Read MoreYummy…sweat??
“Darwin’s followers believe milk evolved from sweat. But milk is nutritious food containing proteins, fats, and sugars, while sweat is a salty mix of various poisons, including urea. (Now you can see why evolution takes millions of years; it’s all those platypus babies drinking sweat until a series of “miracle mutations” finally turned it into milk!)” Source: Parker, Mary and Gary, The Complete Zoo Adventure¸ Master Books, Green Forest, AR, 2007,...
Read MoreGod is at work even when we Crash!
I looked in the rear-view mirror and saw a Semi-truck barreling down on us…no more than 30 feet from us. I knew it was going to be bad. And a second later, I was looking all around trying to survey what just happened. I was still in control of the car, still going straight forward. I looked back in the rearview mirror and my 4-year old son was still sitting in the third row – just stunned – seemingly not in pain. The two younger girls in the second row had awoken from their...
Read MoreA Skeptic Responds…
We had shared some insights, a resource that made an argument for Design not Evolution, and had defined some terms. A skeptic responded with mockery, mixed with a little vulgarity in trying to be humorous. The skeptic made some claims, which were ultimately only their claims and opinions regarding our position. THIS IS THE KEY PART WHEN RESPONDING TO OTHER VIEWS: Learn to recognize claims/opinions from arguments supported by reason/evidence. Press them to support...
Read MoreWhat Evidence Do You Need?
In the last year, often I have heard people say “I don’t believe in God because there isn’t enough evidence (or there is no evidence).” There might be different ways of approaching that statement, one might be to simply say: If I gave you evidence, would you seriously consider God? Another key aspect is to define what is meant by the word “evidence”. I asked someone recently, “what evidence do you need for a supernatural entity?” He said he need some physical...
Read More“What has evidence got to do with faith?”
From our experience talking with people all over regarding the intersection of faith and science, we consistently run into the idea that many think faith is a belief in something with no evidence for it or even in opposition to the evidence. This is not a correct definition of faith! Our faith is reasonable and is based in scientific and philosophical evidence. In fact, given facts and pieces of evidence, every person has to have faith or trust in how to best...
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...
