Some people say that Genesis means to tell us WHY God created not HOW He did. But Genesis doesn't tell us why God created. It tells us When, Who, What, and gives us a sequence in which things were done, but not why they were done. (The 'why' appears later in the Bible.)

Animals preserved as fossils (often assumed to be millions of years old) suffered from cancer, arthritis, tooth decay, bone infection, vertebra fusion, parasitic infections, abnormal teeth, tumours, bite wounds, fractured bones, ossified tendons, avascular necrosis (death of bone tissue due to a lack of blood supply). Could God have described all this as "very good" about 6000 years ago?

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?

Old-earth believers assert that there are gaps in the Genesis genealogies. Where are the gaps?

God describes His original creation as "very good". The Bible reveals that there was no death of (nephesh) animals or people before Adam sinned. But Christians who accept faulty dating methods must accept that there was human death before Adam. Thus destroying the Gospel. (Rom 5:12)

Can we know the exact year God created? What range of dates for creation can be calculated?

How old is the earth? Six to ten thousand years old? Older? How precisely can a creation date be calculated? Does the Bible teach a six thousand year old Earth? 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 regarding when God created.

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?

A persistent evolutionary argument has been the concept of vestigial (left over) organs and genetic information in humans, supposedly inherited from man’s evolutionary ancestors. One popular idea is that sometimes humans are born with fully functioning tails, and that the genetic information for tails is hidden in our DNA.

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.

Some say that the Bible doesn’t say how it should be interpreted. So can everyone determine how to interpret it for themselves? Is there a universal way to interpret the Bible? If there is, what is it?

Dinosaur tracks have been found all over the world, but curiously, these track ways are almost always straight. Usually, when animals are relaxed, they meander around in all directions. But if they’re frightened, they tend to move fast in one direction. So why do dinosaur tracks suggest they were panicking when they made the footprints? The global flood recorded in the Bible provides a compelling answer. As the waters rose during Noah’s Flood, various mechanisms—such as tidal movements of the water—caused flood-laid sediments to be briefly exposed. This allowed dinosaurs that had previously been caught up in the currents, to make tracks on the freshly-laid sediments, before the sediments were inundated again. Thus dinosaurs were experiencing global panic when they made their footprints, and that explains why their track ways are so often straight. The preservation of tracks also requires their rapid burial—as would happen in the Flood.

Did you know that the earth’s magnetic field has reversed direction—or ‘flipped’—multiple times in the past? The evidence for these reversals is rock solid, because when molten rock cools, certain mineral grains align with the earth’s magnetic field, thus recording the direction of Earth’s magnetic field at the time, in the solidified rock. Previously, most geologists thought that a single reversal would take many thousands of years. However, creationist physicist, Dr Russell Humphreys, reasoned they must have happened quickly to fit within the biblical timescale. So Dr Humphreys made a prediction that quickly-cooling thin lava flows would be found that recorded fast changes in the direction of the magnetic field. This prediction was later proven correct. Scientists were shocked to find major magnetic field changes had occurred within weeks in a single lava flow. They published this in the regular scientific literature. Thus yet another scientific prediction, based on biblical history, proved to be correct.

How can a lack of erosion undermine evolutionary ideas of long ages of earth history? Well, when geologists study the boundary between two rock layers, they sometimes conclude that there was a significant time gap between when the lower and upper rock layers were laid down. However, many boundaries don’t show any evidence of elapsed time. The Grand Canyon provides startling examples. One is where the Coconino Sandstone overlies the Hermit Shale. The surface between these rock layers is remarkably flat and smooth—a ‘flat gap’. Yet according to conventional geology, there is a 6 million year gap between these rock layers. The underlying shale is a soft rock, so it should have eroded a lot if exposed for this time. But the Hermit Shale doesn’t show this erosion. This shows that the upper sandstone was deposited on the lower shale so quickly that there was not time for erosion of the shale. Something is obviously wrong with the conventional geological timescale.
