How to Debunk a Conspiracy TheoryIn this interview, creation apologist and credentialed scientist, Dr Robert Carter, explains what to do when confronted with people who believe the impossible. He’ll focus on flat earth and NASA conspiracy theories and give a few easy rules to follow that will help you cut through the issues and give a biblical answer to these and many other challenges.Video24 Jul, 202430:51
5 Signs the World is Young!You could be forgiven for thinking that the age of the earth has been established with absolute, unquestionable certainty. The scientific evidence, we are told, has conclusively shown that it is 4.543 billion years old (give or take a smidgeon). Case closed. Hold on—not so fast! Is this really ‘case closed’? What most people have NOT heard is that there are many scientists around the world who vigorously disagree with this conclusion. On what evidence? Well, they, too, say “Science!” Join one such scientist—biologist and science communicator, Dr Don Batten—for a discussion of just five (of the many) scientific evidences that point to a young earth. (Also, note the extensive supporting material in the ‘links and show notes’, below.)Video17 Jul, 202424:13
Science Wouldn’t Exist Without ChristianityScience requires many assumptions to work. A major one is an orderly universe. But an orderly universe doesn’t follow from an atheistic or pagan worldview. It does follow from the biblical teaching of a divine Lawmaker who is a God of order. Science first flourished in Medieval Europe thanks to the rise of the university and theologian–natural-philosopher class. The Reformation brought Christians back to objective understanding of Scripture, which was transferred to understanding nature. Later scientists like Francis Bacon were motivated by trying to recapture the knowledge they thought Adam had before his Fall. Many atheists have made false claims about Christians believing in a flat earth, opposing childbirth pain relief, and totally misrepresenting the Galileo controversy. Join us as we discuss the Christian origins of real science.Video10 Jul, 202428:38
Why Darwinism is Not a Testable Scientific TheoryThere is an often-repeated assertion that evolution is scientific fact, while the Bible’s account of creation is mere religious stories or myths. However, it might be surprising to learn that there is some ‘storytelling’ included in the paradigm of evolution. You see, scientists from the evolutionary and creation paradigm both start from a particular worldview. And the worldview drives their interpretation of the facts. An evolutionary bias results in a natural focus on their presumption which leads to interpretations that ignore scientific evidence that supports biblical creation. In this discussion you will learn how the very nature of real science gives us a better understanding of why scientists come to very opposing conclusions. You’ll also get a taste of some simple scientific facts that stand in complete opposition to that idea that evolution is a scientific fact. You see, believing the Bible is not a ‘blind faith’.Video03 Jul, 202425:12
Why Evolution Can't Explain MoralityThere are many different ways to logically show that God must exist. One approach is called the ‘moral argument’. It shows that objective morals (i.e. moral standards that are not derived from human beings, but stand above them) clearly exist, and that God is the only reasonable explanation for them. Join apologist and speaker, Keaton Halley, to find out why!Video26 Jun, 202431:55
Why the Creation-Evolution Issue is so Important!Should Christians bother with the biblical account of origins and the creation/evolution debate? Isn’t it just a distraction from more important biblical matters—like the Gospel? In this interview, creation apologist and speaker, Scott Gillis, explains why the origins debate matters for Christians—and for everyone. It is not just a side issue! And failure to answer people's questions in this area impacts their openness to the Gospel! Find out why!Video20 Jun, 202432:32
Earth Can’t be Old – Answering the CriticsWhy do biblical creationists insist that the earth is ‘young’? Hasn't science proven that it is millions/billions of years old? Where does the ‘6,000 years old’ figure come from, anyway—and is the methodology used to get that figure defensible? What did the church fathers believe? And for Christians, isn’t this whole topic just a massive distraction from the ‘real’ issues of the Gospel? Join Dr Mark Harwood for an engaging discussion in which he responds to some of the challenges skeptics have posed following his previous, highly popular, video on the age of the earth (https://youtu.be/zSGGnx2dT3k [https://youtu.be/zSGGnx2dT3k]).Video05 Jun, 202451:24
20 Criticisms of Christianity and Creation ANSWEREDDoes Christianity lack logic, reason, and evidence? Worse, is it “the cancer of humanity”? Is the Bible “just fairy stories and ancient scribblings”? Is the God of the Bible a moral monster? Are Christians hypocrites who brainwash their children? Are they just driven by fear of punishment? Are creationists science deniers who “tell lies for Jesus”? These, and many more, are criticisms of Christianity and biblical creation that we hear regularly. If even half of these claims were true, Christianity would be a wretched religion indeed! But they're not true! In fact, many of these criticisms don’t even withstand low-level scrutiny, never much less serious appraisal!

Only the Bible Can Explain the Ice AgeWe are told that there have been multiple ice ages in Earth’s history. What does that even mean? What is an ice age? What physical evidence would one leave? And most importantly of all, how does an ice age start (and later, stop)? Secular scientists have major trouble modelling how even one ice age could start in the real world—never mind multiple ice ages! And they have many associated ice age mysteries to explain—such as the post-ice age extinction event. The biblical post-Flood Ice Age model, on the other hand, does a good job of explaining the observed evidence! After all, if the Bible is a true record of history, it makes sense that it would have strong explanatory power when trying to make sense of the past!

New Telescope Findings Challenge Big Bang TheoryOn Christmas Day, 2021, the world’s most powerful space telescope was launched. A joint effort between the North American and European Space Agencies (NASA and ESA), the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)’s “primary aim is to shed light on our cosmic origins”. So, how's the mission going? What discoveries has this multi-billion-dollar marvel of technology and engineering produced? Are the latest cosmic revelations consistent with the big bang model of the universe (as was widely predicted before JWST was launched)? Or has the data, in fact, _contradicted_ that model? How has the _biblical_ model of the origin of the universe fared (and were creationist predictions about JWST findings any more accurate)?

Flood Expert Gives 5 Evidences For a Global FloodIf there really was a global flood—as the Bible has always said—then there should be abundant evidence of that fact, right?
