“Thanks for staying all night and going to church with me this morning, Tommy.” Ron said to Tommy as they were walking to Ron’s house. “Yeah, it’s been a blast, Ron, …but I have got to tell you, you’ve got some crazy people at your church!” “What do you mean?” “Well you know, that teacher was telling us about some big ol’ flood, and then your preacher talked about some guy named Adam and his wife Eve talking to a snake!” Tommy laughed. “What’s so funny about that, Tommy?”...
Read MoreA Flood of Evidence Supports God’s Word
You may have heard the skeptics say, “You can’t use the Bible to prove the Bible!” No problem. A wealth of non-Biblical evidence backs up the Bible as God’s Word. Based upon anthropological research, the non-Hebrew cultures already believe many of the things that the Hebrew Scripture teaches about Noah’s Flood. When a comparison is made between the Noahic Flood account of Genesis 6-9 to the flood legends present in over 200 cultures world-wide, striking similarities...
Read MoreFalse Gods Will Perish
“The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, even they shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.” (Jeremiah 10:11) I often find myself thinking about Jer.10:11 as I consider the importance and the seriousness of the creation message. The people of Jeremiah’s day were worshipping idols of wood, silver, and gold which they made with their own hands. God, through Jeremiah, points out the futility of their idolatry. He tells them: “Learn not the way...
Read MoreGems From Genesis – By the Word of the Lord
According to the evolutionary paradigm, it took millions of years of trial and error to “create” everything in the universe; but the Bible tells us a very different story – God spoke, and it was done! Notice how often words referring to speech are used in Genesis1. (“God said,” vs. 3, 6, 9, 11, 14, 20, 24, 26, 29; “God called,” vs. 5, 8, 10; “God blessed,” vs. 22, 28.) This truth is affirmed throughout Scripture. Note the following examples (bold added for emphasis):...
Read MoreHow About Theistic Evolution?
CREATION, EVOLUTION, AND THE BIBLE: Did God Use Evolution as His Method of Creation? There is a wide variety of viewpoints of how the universe and the life on earth began. From what has been presented already (please see article on What’s the Evidence?), it should be clear that we believe the atheistic perspective fails to fit the facts. The idea that life was seeded to earth by space aliens merely begs the question of where the first life came from and pushes it...
Read MoreAncient History Affirms the Bible
When it comes to history, most modern texts tell a similar story: man started as a hunter-gatherer, made tools, began farming, developed language, formed societies, and continues to evolve ever upward. If we assume this premise, however, we are left with a few false implications. First, if recorded history didn’t begin until the early Mesopotamian societies, anything prior is a blank slate. It also implies that early man was ignorant and lacked the desire or awareness to...
Read MoreThe Bible – Myth or Truth?
Mary and her new friend Sally were in the living room looking through a book. “Dad, take a look at this!” Mary called out, “It’s a picture of a guy holding up the earth!” Mr. Jones looked at the picture in the book. Smiling, Mr. Jones replied, “That’s a picture of an ancient Greek myth about a so-called god named Atlas, Mary.” “What’s a myth, Dad?” Mary asked. “Many years ago, when people were confused or didn’t understand something, they would sometimes make up stories to...
Read MoreGrand Canyon in Biblical Perspective
Grand Canyon is called a monument to a billion years of evolution and millions of years of gradual erosion. However, under careful scrutiny, the evidence seems to tell a different story – a story much more consistent with the Biblical record. No human was present to see the canyon form so here is just a possible scenario based on Biblical text and certain geologic clues. (See to correlate the numbers given below.) Genesis 1:1-7 says that God created the heaven and the Earth...
Read MoreWho Cares About the Flood?
The secular world laughs at it and scholars scoff at it. Moreover, university students point to the account of the Flood in Genesis to prove the Bible wrong. Earth science textbooks make statements like, “People used to believe in a Flood, but today …” Even many people in the Christian community marginalize the Flood, calling it a “myth” or a “story” for kids. In contrast, there are many people like me and the rest of the AOI staff, who not only accept the Biblical account...
Read MoreSea Anemones, Sea Slugs, and an Amazing Missile System
Life in the sea is filled with beauty, intrigue, and evidence for an amazing Creator. Sea anemones and sea slugs are beautiful from an artist’s standpoint, giving good evidence of the Master Artist Who created them. And it gets better! Note the tentacles of the sea anemone: Positioned at the end of each tentacle is a special missile system. It is a spring loaded, poison-tipped dart capsule that sports a trap door and a trigger. When a fish brushes the trigger, the trap door...
Read MoreLessons from Babel
I have been reading Bodie Hodge’s new book, Tower of Babel: The Cultural History of Our Ancestors. The information Hodge presents is not only fascinating and enlightening, but it also got me thinking about what we can learn for our own lives and times from this long-ago event. First of all, we need to understand that the event described in Genesis 11 is historically true and accurate. Like the rest of Scripture, it is inspired by God and included in the Biblical record for...
Read MoreRunning The Race – Dodging The Bombs
The starting gun fires, the cross-country race begins. Ahead of the runners are steep hills, narrow valleys and dense forests. However, this isn’t an ordinary race. There are snipers on the ridges shooting at the runners, minefields along the way, and hurdles to jump with coiled razor wire on top. In the forest there are snares, and overhead, squadrons of bombers are dropping bombs on the runners. No, this isn’t an ordinary race. It is the race of life all of us as...
