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...
Read MoreWas Earth a Giant Snowball??
Here is an interesting article: https://crev.info/2018/05/snowball-earth-theory-not-set-stone/ Note the following paragraph that was added toward the end: “Few readers may notice that Tae Hamm borrowed the illustration “Explosion of Life” (shown above) from a creationist website, Alpha Omega Institute. It was lifted from a blog post, where Brian Mariani at AOI was showing both sides of Cambrian Explosion issue, first the naturalistic/evolutionary perspective...
Read MorePhilosophy or Scientific Fact?
“Critiquing deGrasse Tyson’s commentary as to where humans come from, wherein the astrophysicist reiterates the common atheistic “fact” of the mere materialism of humans, Cairn University’s Dr. Keith Plummer noted the importance of differentiating “between what they’re saying that’s scientific and what they’re saying that’s philosophical.” “First, I think it has to be said that Neil deGrasse Tyson is a very competent astrophysicist. He knows his stuff in terms of...
Read MoreCan Evolution and the Bible Fit Together?
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 MoreWhy it is important to define the word – “Theory”?
Evolutionists say that Evolution is the Theory of how life has arisen on planet Earth. So many Christians say “See…Evolution is just a theory, not a fact.” But what most don’t understand is that the way scientists now DEFINE “theory” is that there are models to try to explain something, but there is only one “theory” which explains it the best. And especially in the case of Evolution, theories are thus often attributed the ranking of “Fact” since it is the most...
Read MoreHow should we teach Evolution? How should we teach Creation?
Here is how one program teaches Evolution: “In our course, we include many of the popular arguments and evidence supporting evolution. Importantly, we teach about evolution but we do not teach evolution as the explanation for the origin of life and mankind. It would be irresponsible if we did not present information about evolution. If our students were not presented with the common arguments and evidence used to support evolution, then they will be poorly equipped...
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...
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...
Read MoreDid Darwin’s Pigeons Support his Theory of Evolution?
“Darwin’s work actually demonstrates how the intense selection pressures after the Flood could have acted on gene pools rich in variety to allow rapid speciation/adaptive radiation from the restricted number of land-dwelling kinds represented on the Ark. The variability built into each created kind thus allowed post-Flood populations to respond to changing environmental pressures (adapt) and thus conserve the kinds.8 Ardent supporters of Darwinism might well fancy...
Read MoreTorturing babies for fun is okay when…
Some might try to argue: “Right and wrong is a hierarchy not an absolute A man decides if what he does is [right] or wrong His community decides if that is [right] or wrong Then the communities outside of that decide whether they are right or wrong.” Response: This “view can be classified as a form of cultural relativism, where morality is subjective and depends on what the culture at large defines it to be.” “…If the collective says torturing babies for fun...
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...
