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”...
Read MoreTragic Consequences!
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...
Read MoreAnswer – Not Accepted!
Scientific conclusions are based on some element of faith. Now we have to define “faith.” Some define faith as believing in something with no evidence for it. This is absolutely not the definition of faith, though it would be the definition of blind faith. Faith, even in religion or God, is very often associated with evidence. In the quote here, this scientist shows his bias and shows his faith – and blind faith, in this case. He is not being open-minded to consider or...
Read More“Scientific evidence does not have to be interpreted. Science is science.”
The above was a response (“Scientific evidence does not have to be interpreted. Science is science.”) that I received while in a debate with an evolutionist. This is how I rejoined in the debate: Crime Scene Scientists, Paleontologists, and Archaeologists along with probably every other scientist is faced with the challenges of how to best interpret the evidence. If you were a crime scene investigator, you would come into a house and observe a dead body laying on the...

Here is a simple argument for the fact that we can trust the Bible. Now we simply have to support the claims. (See Picture)...
Read MoreThe Most Logical Cause!
The Law of Cause and Effect states that every effect must have a cause. One apologist says “common sense is foreign to many when God is brought into the discussion.” This is true when naturalists are forced to try to explain the cause of the universe without the most logical cause (the all-powerful, outside of time and space, God). Jeff Miller, God and the Laws of Science: The Law of Causality, 2011, Apologetics Press,...
