Teaching our sons and daughters a biblical worldview is one of the most important things we can do as Christian parents. Even from a young age, our children are absorbing information about origins through storybooks, cartoons, and documentaries. It is important for parents to be proactive in presenting our children with a biblical answer in all aspects of learning. One of the primary audiences of the Scripture, “always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks for a reason for the hope...

How old does the Bible say the earth is? Can we trust biblical chronology, and how close to an exact ‘age’ can we get? Is the Greek translation of the Old Testament a better record of the Bible’s history? These questions can be answered, but we have to think through the issues.

Skeptics often say the account of Noah’s Flood is not credible, because it would be impossible to fit two of every creature in the world onto a single boat and sustain them for a year. But when one considers the size of the Ark and the number of animals Noah needed to take, this challenge turns out to be not so daunting. Further challenges are also raised and addressed as well, including how fish and insects could survive the Flood conditions despite not being present on the Ark. This episode fe...

If the whole Earth were covered by a worldwide Flood, there would have been no place for freshwater to survive. This seems like a huge problem until you examine the possibilities. First, many fish species can adjust to both fresh and saltwater conditions, even if this is not their preferred environment. Second, many species could have easily lost the ability to live in one environment over time. Third, there are multiple ways to preserve freshwater pools and lenses during the worldwide Flood. In...

Why are some people talking about ‘simulation theory’ (the idea that all of our universe is an illusion and we are living in a matrix)? Elon Musk said “there is a one in billions chance that this is base reality” as opposed to us living in a simulation.

Flat earth claims have exploded on the Internet. However, essentially nobody in Christianity ever taught this, although they had a very high view of Scripture. The Bible simply doesn’t teach that the earth is flat.
