A strange group of scientific ‘outsiders’, the Hoylites, are denouncing Darwin while promoting panspermia.

Did God use evolution to create? Could Jesus and Paul be wrong about creation? Tune is as we discuss statements by leading theistic evolutionists.

While a lot of modern people want to separate theology from history, in the New Testament the two are inextricably tied together. We should be encouraged that the New Testament authors placed such a great confidence in the Bible’s history, and that should inspire us to be equally as confident.

Because we know that we do, in fact, reason in a generally reliable way, the evolutionary worldview must not be correct. Evolution lacks the resources that enable us to trust in our own rational faculties, but Christianity succeeds where evolution fails.

Questions and objections to the Genesis creation account continue to lead many people away from Christianity. We tackle some of popular questions showing how evidence from science and history supports the Bible. Who did Cain marry? How did ‘bad things’ arise? Where are all the human fossils? How did people live so long before the flood? Who were the Nephilim? Where did all the races come from?

Accounting for all presently known relevant details and assuming the Babylonian Captivity began in 587 or 586 BC, we can say with confidence that the Bible places limits on the year of creation between 5665 and 3822 BC. If the traditional historic date of 587 BC or 586 BC for the Captivity is correct, the earth cannot be more than 7,680 years old.

Those of you who are unable to drink milk as adults today without feeling nauseous (or worse) can take heart from being closer in that respect to the originally ‘physically-perfect’ first man and woman than are those of us who are milk-drinking ‘mutants’!

Christians believe the Bible is the Word of God, but how do we know that’s true? How did we get the collection of books we call the Bible, and can we trust them? In part 2, we discuss who wrote the Bible, how they copied it throughout the centuries, preferences for various English translations, and the consistency between the Old and New Testaments.

Archaeological discoveries provide powerful support for the accuracy of Scripture. Today we highlight fascinating portions of an interview with a leading archaeologist.

There’s no need for ‘magic decoder ring’ hermeneutics; at best, it’s a distraction from what should be our focus, and at worst, it is directly contradictory to the plain meaning of the text.

If we apply the normal principles of biblical exegesis (ignoring pressure to make the text conform to the evolutionary prejudices of our age), it is overwhelmingly obvious that Genesis was meant to be taken in a straightforward, obvious sense as an authentic, literal, historical record of what actually happened.

The Creator God of the Bible spoke the universe into existence. This great miracle is supported by the conclusions of science, logic, and history. Key reasons why God did not use evolution are summarized in this episode.

God pronounced judgments on the serpent, Eve, and Adam. Because of sin, the serpent would crawl on his belly and eat dust, Eve and all women after her would have pain in childbirth, and Adam and all of his descendants would experience painful toil on the earth until death. But in the middle of these terrible pronouncements, there is a glimmer of hope.

Christians do not need Hawking’s elusive ‘grand unified theory’ of the universe to know the mind of God or to know who they are, why they exist, and where they are going. As matters stand at present, there is no better astronomic theory for the origin of the universe than the inspired explanation of the Bible.

Christians believe the Bible is the Word of God, but how do we know that’s true? How did we get the collection of books we call the Bible, and can we trust them?

Are Christian deluding themselves? How do we know there is a God, and specifically the God revealed in the Bible?
