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.

As popularized by the New Atheist movement, atheists prefer the definition of “atheism” as “lacking belief in god(s)”. So, meet atheists on their own ground: if they want to define atheism as a mere lack of God belief, grant it and continue the discussion. Then, make them see whence their position comes and where it leads.

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?

In this second episode dealing with how God created species to change over time, we discuss the concept of the ‘created kind’ as opposed to ‘species’ and what it means for our understanding of what God actually created. The concept of a ‘frontloaded’ genome is important, and there are multiple ways for the genomes of living things to change over time.

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.

There is a historical explanation from the biblical worldview that explains degeneration in biology: the Fall. This is often scoffed at as an explanation, but it does explain the biological data as we see it today, and does so without the hindrances that evolution has.

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?

In this episode, we cover three myths that people often have about biblical biology. What are species? What are created kinds? Did God create all species as we see today, and did those species stay in the same general location after they were originally created? And did God only create two of each kind of animal at the beginning?

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.

If theistic evolutionists admit that the world was completed in the past, then they must abandon their view that God used naturalistic, evolutionary processes to accomplish that work. But if they continue to insist that creation is an unfinished work in progress, they cannot be faithful to Scripture. So, which should it be?

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.

The nation of Israel started out with a small number of children that were born to one man living among a large and mixed population that was, in turn, made more cohesive by matters of religion and language. Clearly, being an Israelite is not a statement about genetics.

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.

In the last few years, apologist William Lane Craig has attacked biblical (‘young earth’) creation. However, he is not enamoured with many of the other compromise views. In 2021, he published a book, In Quest of the Historical Adam. He concluded that Adam and Eve were a real original couple who gave rise to all humans, and who committed the first acts of sin. But they were a pair of Homo heidelbergensis who lived perhaps 750,000 years ago. Dr Jonathan Sarfati and Keaton Halley of Creation Ministries International offer their analysis.
