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 Bible’ was...
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 evidence. I...
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 understand...
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 want...
Read MoreMysteries – Solved!
“Science has told us so much about our world! We now understand, more or less, what reality is made of and what forces push and pull the stuff of existence to and fro. Scientists have also constructed a plausible, empirically founded narrative of the history of the cosmos and of life on Earth. But when scientists insist that they have solved, or will soon solve, all mysteries, including the biggest mystery of all, they do a disservice to science; they become the mirror...
Read MoreWhy Billions of Years?
What is the need or motivation for the supposed millions and billions of years? It is to find natural explanations for the origin of the Universe, Life, Rocks, etc. These long age theories are motivated to get rid of the need for God. If there is a God, we are accountable to Him. Evidence from science continues to show that these naturalistic theories are still not explaining everything well enough – they still need more time! (See this article titled Time – no friend of...
Read MoreIt’s Like Such a Story!
Read the excerpt below regarding the evolution of bees (we have added the bold lettering). The author does state much of the following paragraph with certainty (much of which shouldn’t be stated with certainty). So be discerning as you read – there are also a lot of guesses, assumptions, and faith/trust and this is just a short snippet of the supposed billions of years of history. Though it is not inherently bad to have a lot of “guesses, assumptions, and faith/trust”...

Did you see Tuesday’s post on the Fossil “Forests” of Yellowstone? See here the tragic consequences of misinterpreting the evidence! “I vividly remember the evening I attended an illustrated lecture on the famous sequence of fossil forests in Yellowstone National Park and then stayed up much of the night with a biologist friend of like mind, Joe Willey, first agonizing over, then finally accepting, the disturbing likelihood that the earth was at least thirty...
