In a debate on June 30, 1860 Thomas Huxley stated that monkeys could, given enough time, produce a Psalm purely by chance. Similarly, molecular movement, given enough time could produce man without a Creator. See why probability arguments like this fail to support evolution.
Despite what some people believe, logic and reason are essential to Christianity. Without them it’s impossible to deduce anything from the true propositions of the 66 books of Scripture, which is the final authority for a Christian.
A popular myth is that radioactive dating methods confirm the geologic time-scale and the concept of human evolution. The methods appear so impressive that many Christians accept them as evidence that the earth is very old. Many have been taught that radiometric dating methods are absolute. But exactly how solid are those dates?
Many Christians wonder about what our eternal existence will ‘look like’. Bible believing Christians know that God is going to create a New Heavens and a New Earth. Hints about what it will be like are found in Genesis.
One of the most common questions asked of Christians is some version of: “If God is so loving, why are there bad things in the world?” The implication being that if God created this world in the state it is in, He can’t be ‘very good’ Himself. And the Bible explicitly says that God created everything there is in 6 days. So when exactly were bad things created?
Some people think that evolution has nothing to do with an individual’s philosophical outlook. But atheism can’t exist without evolution! The question of origins has only two possible answers, and for atheists there is only one choice.
The Bible describes a global flood about 1600 years after creation. The most devastating catastrophe ever recorded would surely leave evidence, wouldn’t it? So what are consequences of Noah’s Flood?
Easter is a celebration of Jesus resurrection. This is the central event of Christianity, and continuously attacked by skeptics.
Contrary to what many popular Old Earth Creationists have said, the Reformers held to a ‘Young Earth’ position. Examine the documented quotes from these esteemed theologians that put to rest any doubt as to their biblical creationist position.
How old is the earth? Six to ten thousand years old? Older? How precisely can a creation date be calculated? Why do most scientists believe the earth is old? This episode explores one of the most controversial issues in the church, and answers these and many more questions about when God created.
God described His original creation as 'very good' but did that include the death of animals before Adam sinned? We explore the implications of animals dying before the Fall.
Contrary to scripture, old earth creationists and theistic evolutionists often claim that there were animals dying long before Adam and Eve. But did creatures just live happy peaceful lives and then quietly die? What does the fossil record reveal?
A persistent evolutionary argument is the concept of vestigial (left over) organs in humans, supposedly inherited from man’s evolutionary ancestors. One popular idea is that humans are sometimes born with tails.
Charles Darwin is often presented as a brilliant, iconic figure who singlehandedly changed the scientific landscape. His picture is on the British ten pound note, and he is looked up to by many as a great scientist. But research over the last 100 years reveals a different story.
Does it matter whether it was global or local? What does the scripture actually say? If it was a global flood, where’s the evidence for it? These and other questions are answered in this episode.
Does belief in old earth creation or young earth creation impact the Gospel? If so, how? If not, are these topics side issues? How important are they really? Should they be included in your church's Statement of Faith?
The theory of evolution is described in much detail in most classrooms today. Names, dates, classifications, etc., all seem to point to a very ‘scientific’ history of the world. But what about Creation? Does it have a cohesive historical narrative that can be backed up scientifically? Absolutely! Look at the ‘big picture’ of the Bible’s history on this week’s show.
Continuing from last week, we examine more failed climate predictions, find the root of the claim that “97 % of scientists” agree that climate change is man-made, and consider the dangers of a singular focus on fixing the climate.
Underlying assumptions and worldviews behind different approaches to climate change are summarized along with questionable scientific models.
Many people say the Muslim god and the God of the Bible are the same. If that’s true then the Koran and the Bible should agree with one another, but they don’t. Find out why a belief that the god of the Koran could never be reconciled with the God that wrote Genesis.
God’s Word says that animals were created to reproduce ‘after their kind’ (not to evolve into other kinds over millions of years). But what is a ‘kind’? If new species are being produced, does that support creation or evolution? Are the ‘kinds’ mentioned in Genesis the same as today’s species? Find out!
Rapid speciation has always been a cornerstone of Young Earth Creationist belief. If all of the animals we see today are descended from the limited amount of animals on Noah’s Ark then rapid speciation must have occurred. See the stunning evidence of this very thing and why it is so challenging to evolutionists and ‘Old Earth’ creationists alike.
Creationists often point to the incredible evidence of design in nature as proof of God’s existence. But what about things that don’t look well designed or appear to have been designed to do ‘bad things’? Evidence of ‘design’ is not enough. Find out why the true history in the Bible is essential to understand the world we live in.
Many seem to think Christianity is for simple, uneducated people who are out of touch with science. This week we share a little of the growing, positive evidence for the truth of creation and Christianity. It really is a great time to be a Christian!
Whoops! What happens when scientists find fossils in the ‘wrong’ evolutionary sequence? This week, learn how the neat, ordered sequence of fossils required by evolution theory has serious problems, but fits wonderfully with the Bible. The facts reveal that the evolutionary timeline is wrong.
Is it true that no ‘real’ scientist can be a creationist? Many of the founding fathers of modern science were Bible-believing Christians, as were many of the lesser known scientists who expanded our scientific knowledge. This episode examines the lives of brilliant men of science who were also men of God.
Dynamic street evangelist Henry De Roos gives practical advice on how to use evidence about God’s creation to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Continuing on from previous episodes, “What the church fathers believed about Genesis” and, "What the Reformers believed about Genesis”, we now examine the words of the Son of God in His written revelation to us. What did Jesus believe about Genesis?
In the famous tale from Homer’s “Odyssey” the fortress of Troy was defeated by the Greek army leaving a large wooden horse (secretly filled with soldiers) behind as a supposed gift. The Trojans willingly took it into their city leading to their defeat. Today’s episode retraces how ‘deep time’ infiltrated the church in a similar way, and led to the lack of biblical authority we see today.
There are a variety of views on creation that could be called the ‘creationist’ view. Whether Christians hold to the Gap Theory, Day Age Theory, Framework Hypothesis or Biblical (Young Earth) Creation, they all believe their interpretation is correct. Which one is correct? Find out who the real creationists are as we sort through the issues on today’s show.
