This is pretty amazing! Around 1500 years, about 40 authors, in 3 different languages – “And yet there is one consistent, noncontradictory theme that runs through it all: God’s redemption of humankind.” http://www.equip.org/articles/bible-reliability-m-a-p-s-to-guide-you-through-bible-reliability/
Read MoreA Common Memory!!
Pyramids, henges, and the similarities in many worldwide legends are evidences that people were remembering the same common memory of a common event in the past – The Tower of Babel. We also see these historical evidences (including evidence of intelligence and civilization appearing out of nowhere) as fitting best with the Biblical accounts of human history as opposed to the slow evolution of dumb cave-men slowly evolving. These are evidences that the Bible is True! See...

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 MoreA Biblical Model of Earth History
The book of Genesis has been called the book of origins. Though it is not a detailed “textbook,” it gives a framework for understanding the origin of space, matter, time, the earth, the universe, life, marriage, families, cultures, government, religion, languages, and people groups. For study purposes, it is helpful to divide the Biblical record of earth history into 7 major periods or events: Creation, Fall, Pre-Flood, Flood, Post-Flood, Present, and Future. While it is...
Read MoreA Mammoth Problem
From the pages of the encyclopedias we are apt to read that mastodons and mammoths were ancient relatives of today’s elephants which have been extinct for about 10,000 years. This has been accepted by virtually all the “experts” today and consequently is taught at all levels of education. There are other experts, however, who suggest that these great creatures have been extinct for not more than a few hundred years. Many of these experts are historians who have read...
Read MoreThe Star of Bethlehem – My Perspective
Our study of the Star of Bethlehem begins with the wise men coming to Jerusalem (Matthew 2:1). The wise men came from the East, so I am assuming they are either from Persia or the Babylonian area. In Matthew 2:2, the wise men inquire concerning the whereabouts of the King of the Jews, because they saw His star the night Jesus was born. Why were they looking for a star? I believe they were looking because of the prophecy made by Balaam in Numbers 24:17, 19a, about the...
Read MoreChinese Writing Tells of Genesis
Did you know that many ancient Chinese words have their roots in Genesis? These ancient words are made up of pictures. For example, the word for tempter is made up of pictures representing a garden, a serpent, and a woman. Amazingly, the word for boat is 8 mouths in a vessel. This reminds us of accounts of Adam and Eve’s fall and the 8 individuals who survived the flood of Noah’s days. Their culture had a creation base, but, sadly it was lost to religious...
Read MoreGems From Genesis – How Did All the Skin Colors Arise?
A common question of skeptics of the Bible and even of some Bible-believing Christians is, “If we all came from Adam and Eve, why are there so many different skin colors?” There is a good answer, which is consistent with both the Bible and with well-known genetic principles. I will deal with the genetic principles in the next article (The Origin of the Races), but let’s review here the Biblical foundations for answering this question. The early chapters of Genesis reveal...
Read MoreLessons from the Scopes Trial
The summer of 2005 marked the 80th anniversary of the infamous Scopes trail. Creationists have drawn attention in recent years to the way in which this event has been distorted by humanists – especially through the well-known play and movie “Inherit the Wind”. “Inherit the Wind” portrays Biblical creationists as narrow-minded persecutors of evolutionists, resorting to bad tactics to enforce their own viewpoint. However, the Scopes trial transcript tells quite a different...
Read MoreJust What Does AOI Do???
People ask us at AOI, “What do you do?” Before I answer this question, it would be good to answer another question first: Why Do We Do What We Do? The theory of evolution doesn’t hold up to scientific investigation, yet we and our children are being taught it is a “fact.” Evolutionary ideas impact all of our society, affecting the way people think about God, themselves, and issues facing society – and consequently, how they live their lives. A high percentage of youth from...
