This is a great article on the problem with trying to fit billions of years with the Bible: “So, am I accusing every Christian who holds to a theistic evolutionary/old earth position of directly blaspheming Jesus and God the Father? No, because the fact is, most Christians don’t join-the-dots when they accommodate evolution and long ages into their understanding of the Bible. However, what I am saying is that to attribute error (and by extension) falsehood to Jesus...
Read MoreOriginal Sin – Truth from Genesis
Put so clearly: “We might think chapter 2 of Genesis teaches that “God formed the man of dust from the ground,” and Eve from Adam—but if they were the product of evolution, then early Genesis becomes a myth, and everyone who assumed the history to be true (including Jesus and Paul) were naive. Original sin becomes a theoretical construct rather than harsh reality, so why do we desperately need Christ?” Read more here:...
Read MoreDeath within History…
The following is an excerpt from an article describing a radio show regarding the age of the Earth. What do you think about the question asked and the response in this article? “the caller proceeded with his main question: “ … knowing the world as we see today, if extrapolating back millions of years, we have millions of years of death (as the engine of evolution), suffering, cancers, parasites and diseases. How is all that equated for if the Fall is responsible for...
Read MoreHow do you pronounce…??
I love those passages in the Bible with long lists of names! My favorite part is listening to other people trying to pronounce them out loud! These and the Levitical laws often times stop people (myself included) from our daily reading plans. We may often react like this – ‘why is this in the Bible? It is so boring. It has no application for my life today.’ If it is in the Bible, it is God’s Word though, right? So He must have a purpose for it, right? These names,...
Read MoreDo Creationists Believe in Cavemen?
Yes, we do. Of course! “People assume, based on their evolutionary beliefs, that humans who once lived in caves were primitive brutes. But this is not a deduction from the evidence; rather, it is a consequence of evolutionary conditioning. Even the caves occupied by Neandertals show clear evidence that they were skillful human beings, even talented musicians.” Think about it – as people were dispersing from the Tower of Babel and traveling/spreading out all over the...
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 Jesus really overcome Death? See the different perspectives on Death. Think about it…God intended us to live forever with Him in the Garden…and still intends to live forever with us for eternity! Picture Source: Answers in Genesis (See also yesterday’s post)
Read MoreWhich Age is True?
In this picture, we find a lengthy list of age of the Earth estimates based on uniformitarian dating methods. All of the examples shown estimate a much younger Earth than 4.5 billion years. Now, an evolutionist would argue that the Earth goes through cycles over time and thus that is the reason for many of these dates appearing younger, but that is an unprovable assumption as we cannot directly observe the conditions of the past. We would also say that these dates are...
Read MoreSuch Striking Similarities!
“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 MoreAre Fossils in Order??
Are Fossils in order according to the Evolutionary Theory??? “Perhaps most astonishingly, pollen fossils—evidence of flowering plants—were found in the Precambrian strata. According to evolutionists, flowering plants first evolved 160 mya, but the Precambrian strata is older than 550 mya. Dinosaurs are supposed to have evolved into birds. But Confuciusornis was a true beaked bird that pre-dates the ‘feathered’ dinosaurs that it allegedly came from. It also has been...
Read MoreWhere Did Cain Get His Wife?
Answer: The answer is clear from Gen 5:4 – Adam and Eve had other sons and daughters. In short, he married his sister. It may sound weird to us in our current, modern culture, but in the past, many cultures did not have the stigma that marrying within the family was bad. In fact, with Isaac and Jacob, marrying within the family was encouraged and that was only written into law later. Early on in human history, the genetics were more pure from the beginning and...
