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.

The answer to the question in the title of this article is No. Acceptance of the big bang (with or without accepting biological evolution) undermines biblical authority in crucial Gospel-related ways.

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.

Old Testament scholar John H. Walton has argued that modern readers have misunderstood the true meaning of Genesis 1. Given its ancient Near Eastern context, Walton says the creation account is not about God making material objects, but merely assigning functions. On this basis he sees no conflict between Genesis and evolution. In this episode, Keaton Halley and Joel Tay offer reasons why both Genesis and other ancient texts do not support Walton’s interpretation. So theistic evolutionists should find no refuge in Walton’s claims.

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?

The clever and intelligent research done by these scientists goes a long way to demonstrate that information and the machinery required to utilize it can only come about by intelligent means.

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.

Soft and stretchy blood vessels, intact cells, animal protein, and even DNA have been found in dinosaur bones. How could they have lasted 66 million years?

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.

While feathered dinosaurs are not ruled out by the biblical creationist model, the claims of feathers are looking more and more dubious.

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.

Where are all the human fossils? Have we found any pre-Flood human fossils? And why don’t we find human and dinosaur fossils together?

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?

Ironically, the sort of ministry Creation Ministries International engages in ends up helping the poor, too. Because by strengthening the faith of believers, and by arming and equipping them as they reach out to others, the numbers of Bible-believing Christians, motivated by the Gospel, increase.

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.

A few years ago, a new study claimed to have found that pterosaurs were feathered. What did they really find? And why is this problematic for the evolutionary idea that dinosaurs evolved into birds?
