Secular ‘experts’ have often claimed that there is no evidence that the Hebrews lived in Egypt. If this is so, then the entire history of the book of Exodus—which is foundational to understanding God’s dealings with humanity throughout history, and which is repeatedly referred to throughout the rest of the Bible—is a lie! Are these ‘experts’ correct? Or, if they are wrong, how could they be so wrong? Join researcher, author, and speaker, Gary Bates, for a fascinating and helpful look at the many...

Instances of natural selection are constantly held up as examples of evolution in action. But they are no such thing. Creation scientists know it. Evolutionary scientists know. And yet textbooks and the popular media continue to use examples of natural selection to promote evolution. It’s misleading at best; simply deceptive, at worst. Join biologist, Dr Don Batten, for a fascinating look at why natural selection is a conservative, culling force—rather than a creative one. What’s more, learn why...

We live in an age where it is common to hear terms such as ‘My Truth’ and ‘Your Truth’, and people are encouraged to believe whatever they want. Anyone who claims to know absolute truth is seen as dogmatic, divisive, and intolerant. At the same time, we live in an age where it is increasingly difficult to know what’s real and what’s not. Many people simply don’t know what to believe anymore; they are genuinely unsure what is trustworthy, reliable and … true! As Dr Mark Harwood explains, truth is...

One of the most-asked questions by both Christians and non-Christians alike is: ‘If God is a god of love, why is there so much death and suffering in the world?’ The Bible actually provides a clear explanation for how the world came to be in this state. God didn’t make it this way—we did! In fact, God has gone to extraordinary lengths to rescue us from the very painful mess we have gotten ourselves into. In the process, He experienced the worst of suffering and death—and in fact conquered them ‘...

People all over the world are taught that everything in nature—including life itself—is the result of purely natural processes. Is this right? Did life form itself? Is that even possible? What would it take? What ingredients would the simplest, self-replicating life need? Or are people being misled—in the name of ‘science’? Join biologist Dr Don Batten for a discussion of the origin of life. Learn why the very laws of chemistry dictate that life could never form itself—not even in a trillion yea...

There are many religions in the world, and many holy books. Even a cursory examination shows that they do not agree with each other. Clearly, they can’t all be right. So, are they all wrong? Are any of them right? How would we be able to tell? Christians claim that the Bible is the one true, written revelation from God. That’s a big claim! Can the claim be tested? What’s the evidence? Dr Mark Harwood says the Bible can, indeed, be both tested and trusted. Join the conversation as he provides evi...

What do coal seams tell us about Earth’s history? Do they show signs of having formed very slowly—over millions of years—in huge swamps? (This is the most common naturalistic explanation of how coal formed.) Or does the evidence point to vast quantities of vegetation being rapidly, catastrophically buried in a flood of, well, biblical proportions—only a few thousand years ago? (This is what biblical creationists claim.) The real-world evidence is consistent with one of these stories—but directly...

Numerous people around the world claim to have seen UFOs or experienced interactions with aliens. An unbiased assessment of the evidence shows that something is certainly going on, and even the US government is now open about the fact that they are investigating! Is there a viable, naturalistic explanation? Are aliens physically visiting Earth—and if so, why? Or does the evidence point to a more supernatural explanation? Are these ‘aliens’ being completely honest with experiencers? And why do th...

If there really was a global flood—as the Bible has always said—then there should be abundant evidence of that fact, right? But what would that evidence look like? And who could be better placed to ‘see’ such evidence than a scientist who studies the way that floods and flowing water shapes landscapes? Join fluvial geomorphologist, Dr Ron Neller, for a fascinating discussion of the evidence that, over a 30-year period, eventually led him to conclude that there has, indeed, been a global flood on...

Everybody has heard—REPEATEDLY—that the earth is billions of years old. People are led to believe that this is an unassailable scientific fact. IT’S NOT! There are many people—including well-qualified scientists—who believe the evidence can be read QUITE DIFFERENTLY. In fact, there are numerous lines of evidence that contradict the millions/billions-of-years idea, and instead point to a relatively ‘young’ Earth! Join Dr Don Batten for an illuminating discussion of just FOUR such evidences. (And ...

In 1980, Mount St. Helens (in Washington State, USA) erupted, blasting the top and side off the mountain. Then, as volcanoes do, it began to rebuild. In 1992, samples of new volcanic rock—KNOWN to be only about 10 years old—were dated using standard radiometric dating techniques. The results were eye-opening. Radiometric dating is not all it’s cracked up to be! In fact, it’s fair to ask: “Can radiometric dates be trusted at all?” Join geologist Dr Tas Walker for a discussion of the Mount St. Hel...

Atheists, parroted by Genesis compromisers, accuse biblical (young earth) creationists of believing in rapid evolution after the Ark landed. But the creationist model has always included rapid variation, and rejects fixity of species. And the thousands of Ark animals were land vertebrates; most of the millions of species were invertebrates and marine creatures. This episode features Keaton Halley and Jonathan Sarfati.

Is Earth really the only planet in our vast universe that supports life? After all, there are trillions of other stars out there—and the number of planets is likely to be huge! For those who believe that everything created itself by natural processes, this is almost unthinkable. But for those who believe the Bible’s account of origins, it makes perfect sense. The question is, what does the evidence say? Join Dr Mark Harwood (who played a key role in the development of Australia’s national satell...

Dinosaurs have long been used to popularise the idea that life on Earth has been evolving for hundreds of millions of years. Almost from the cradle, people are taught about ‘the age of the dinosaurs’, which is said to have ended over 65 million years ago—LONG before humans evolved. But what if this account is all wrong? What if there is evidence that dinosaur fossils are MUCH younger than claimed—and that these fascinating creatures shared the Earth with humans?! This would upset the entire evol...

Dinosaurs must have been Ark passengers. Most dinosaur fossils were formed by the Flood, and God told Noah to take two of every land vertebrate alive before the Flood. There were far fewer dinosaur kinds than species or genera, and the average size of a full-grown dino was about the size of a bison/buffalo. But Noah probably boarded much smaller juveniles a year before their growth spurt. The Ark had an equivalent volume of 340 semitrailers, so there was plenty of room for all the animals, water...

‘Who created God?’ is an age-old question. Children sometimes ask it because they’re curious. But atheists more commonly ask it because they think it is a ‘gotcha’ question for Christians. So, is it really a ‘gotcha’ question? Does God—like everything else in the universe—need a cause? Or have atheists made an error in logic in assuming this? As Dr Don Batten explains, ‘Who created God?’ has a simple, logical answer—so Christians have no need to be intimidated! On the other hand, atheists have s...

How did 80 whales end up fossilized in the Chilean desert? What sort of conditions led to them: i) Swimming there in the first place, and ii) Getting RAPIDLY and DEEPLY buried so that they would fossilize? Can evolutionary history supply a satisfactory explanation for this—as well as the many other marine fossil graveyards all over the world? Or does the global Flood described in the Bible supply the best explanation for the evidence? And if the biblical Flood (or something like it) is, indeed a...

One of the most-asked questions by both Christians and non-Christians alike is: ‘If God is good and loving, why is there so much evil and suffering in the world?’ Is God UNABLE to do something about the situation (i.e. not all-powerful)? Or is He UNCARING (i.e. not all-good)? Or perhaps, as some critics claim, the presence of evil and suffering in the world are proof that God DOESN’T EXIST at all? The answer is ‘none of the above’! As Dr Mark Harwood explains, the biblical account of history mak...

Did you know that atheists must believe in miracles? How so? As plant biologist, Dr Don Batten, explains, there are many things in the universe that defy naturalistic explanations. That is to say, naturalistic explanations for these events actually contradict the very laws of physics, chemistry, genetics, and so on, that naturalism is built on!

This episode features Dr Robert Carter and Dr Jonathan Sarfati. They discuss in detail many of the facts surrounding the famous trial of Galileo and dismiss many of the associated urban myths (many of which are intentionally propagated by skeptics). They also delve more deeply into the intellectual background in the centuries leading up to Galileo, Copernicus, and Newton. Galileo was politically naïve, which got him into a lot of hot water. He was also overconfident about his ideas, while his op...

In this episode, we look at even more ways God has engineered the genome to generate diversity. We look at mutations, epigenetics, and natural selection. God is the master engineer. He did not just create life; He designed life to robustly respond to the environment. He overdesigned living things so that they could withstand, so far, thousands of years of mutational accumulation. His designs were holistic, in that He accounted for what each kind would need in the future. He built redundancy in t...

Many creationists once proposed that the source of Flood waters was a water vapour canopy surrounding the earth above the atmosphere. But most modern creationists reject the model.
