We are all connected with the first Adam (the natural and legal head of the human race) as depraved and guilty sinners, and so are included in the sentence of death which God pronounced on him. However, all who are connected with the last Adam, Jesus, through repentance and faith in His redeeming work, are forgiven, have ‘received the free gift of righteousness’, and so ‘have passed from death to life.’

Only when we insist that the terms of the debate be fair and accurate will we have any chance to clearly communicate the truth of creation and the bankruptcy of Darwinism to the world at large. As we have undertaken to demonstrate here, evolutionists have been guilty of hiding behind the misleading use of the term ‘fitness’; it is now time for honest scientists to adopt a more realistic, objective look at the parameters of life.

Is creation/evolution a side issue for Christians? Does it have any impact on the Gospel? We’ll provide some clarity about the links between scientific discoveries and beliefs about the creation/evolution issue.

It is difficult for many to understand why seemingly credible witnesses make up fantastic stories—so fantastic in some cases that it would be normal to think that no one would make such incredible claims unless they were true. Human beings are complex creatures and for some their emotions and beliefs can override reality.

Evolution is accepted as ‘scientific fact’ by most people in 2020, but is it consistent with the Holy Scriptures? Does it matter if a Christian depends on Jesus Christ for their eternal soul and secular unbelieving scientists for the historical origins of the universe at the same time? Joel Tay and Scott Gillis draw on their testimonies and challenges that all Christians face today to inform believers—what God’s Word says may surprise you!

Where did Cain get his wife? How do you know there’s a God? Could Noah get all the animals on the Ark? Was the flood global? Most Christians have questions about science and the Bible, and many struggle with their faith because of them. We should examine our foundations, which may lead us to a better realization of why we face the issues we do.

What is the nature of the relationship between faith and science? Can the apparent separation between science and faith ever be eliminated? Many scientists are convinced that evolution happened, does that mean it did? Join the discussion.

Since, they say, creation fails their definition of ‘science’, it is therefore ‘religion’, and (by implication) it can simply be ignored. But what is science? Many attempts to define ‘science’ are circular. The point that a theory must be acceptable to contemporary scientists to be acceptable, basically defines science as ‘what scientists do’!

In the second part of this article we will analyze several critical geological features of heavily eroded surfaces that further confirm the idea that Eden cannot be placed on the contemporary surface of the earth.

Have the continents moved apart? If so, when? Creationist Antonio Snider, the first person to publish on continental drift proposed that the continents separated during the Flood. Today his original idea is backed by cutting-edge computer modelling.

In living cells, there is something amazing: Biological robots, that demonstrate nanotechnology way beyond anything that man can make. Machines, such as the ATP Synthase, common in all living cells, require many component parts which are useless until the machine is fully formed, thus defy evolutionary explanation. Even more amazing is that the recipe (DNA) needed to build this machine, needs that machine working first in order to get that recipe. And there must be machines to untangle the DNA while it’s being read.

There are no textual, geographic, linguistic, or even probabilistic reasons to hold to a near-Mesopotamian Eden. The few words used in parallel before and after the Flood are easily explained and the specific geography given in Scripture does not match anything in the region, nor indeed anywhere on the earth today.

Eschatology is core to CMI’s ministry in one sense—we absolutely assert that the goal of Jesus’ work was to restore not just believers, but the entire physical creation. And this will happen when He comes again. No matter what various people believe about the timing, or how to interpret various prophecies, getting the biblical foundations right means we all should look forward to the day when we stand on the restored earth with our resurrection bodies, in the presence of our incredible Creator.

The coronavirus currently sweeping the world is a major threat. What are Chistians supposed to think about it? Most viruses are beneficial to us and the environment. Also, we live in a sin-cursed world where many originally ‘good’ things have turned bad. When the coronavirus jumped to people, that was very, very, bad, but this gives us another opportunity to share the gospel.

The Bible says that all people know there is a God because of what He created. Many atheists say there is no evidence for design. This episode explains how we recognize when something is designed and explores some of the amazing design all around us—the evidence for an intelligent Designer.

Satan and his host of evil angels are well aware of the truth of Scripture. Concerning God, ‘the demons believe—and tremble’ (James 2:19). And the temptation account suggests that Satan knows that the Genesis record of creation is true.
