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 MoreComparing Evolution and Creation
Take a look, which one do you think makes more sense? “If evolution is true, we should expect that: There would be fossil evidence indicating the ancestor of all the dinosaurs. There would be fossil evidence of intermediate forms showing many stages in the formation of such diverse characteristics as the plates and spikes of the armoured dinosaurs (stegosaurs), the one-to-seven horns of the horned dinosaurs (ceratopian), the distinctive beaks of the duckbilled...
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...
Read MoreWho is Smarter…?
I love showing this slide to audiences – especially with a lot of rambunctious kids! Husbands and wives even get riled up over the last question! These three questions clearly show us that we all have a bias and a worldview which determines the way in which we view the world!
Read MoreWhen 3 Equals 5?
This is one of my (Brian Mariani’s) favorite quotes showing the challenge of taking the observations from science and correctly interpreting them.
Read MoreWhat Do You See?
The way we view the world affects what we see (when wearing red glasses – the world appears more red, and therefore viewing the world in terms of evolution – that’s all you would expect to see). This is one of the main challenges in the Creation/Evolution debate. Both sides believe that they have evidence, but let’s continually try to study it deeper to look at which view makes the most...
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...
Read MoreJunk DNA… Functional, but still Junk?
This is intriguing. For years evolutionists have been predicting — then claiming without proof — that a high percentage of our DNA is “junk” – the leftovers from millions of years of evolution. Creationists predicted that since God doesn’t make junk, we will find important uses for so-called “junk DNA.” When we pointed out that virtually everything that was called “junk DNA” has now been shown to have important and sometimes vital functions,...
Read More“An Ever-Receding Pocket of Scientific Ignorance”
Atheistic Claim: The claim that “God did it” is simply asserted as truth without any evidence to back it up. “God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance.” Answer: Atheists run into the same, but worse problems. They run into the laws of logic and their worldview cannot justify or explain them, whereas an all-powerful God is a valid and reasonable explanation. See recent posts from Tuesdays for more clarification on this...
Read MoreYou Can’t Not Have Faith!
Notice from the pictures below that everyone…even the atheist and even the agnostic live by faith. You have to have faith that when you turn the keys to your car that everything will work correctly and that it will start…although some people need more faith in that. Science is simply a method of gaining more knowledge through observation and experimentation. So everyone has faith and anyone can do science as I could also add to the picture. These are all ultimately...
Read MoreHow Old Are You…Really??
Before I begin, I have a quick prayer request. AOI speakers have many camps and VBS’ coming up, so please pray for us and for those who will be attending! Now back to the story… When I am doing a VBS or a camp, I like to start out the week with the following scenario: I tell the students that I am an alien. I have just arrived and I am on a scientific mission to study the human beings on Earth. Let the investigation begin! So I ask one of the campers –...
Read MoreHow Do We Handle “Climate Change”?
How do we handle the Climate Change issue? This article covers a great different angle on the question of how to handle climate change. This is not an endorsement of any political stance. -Here is the main point of this article: “Efforts to “fight” global warming under the U.N.’s Paris Agreement could cost the world $100 Trillion in lost wealth by the end of this century…That, I guarantee you, will lead to (preventable) deaths, due to poverty and all problems...
