Genesis is NOT poetry. Rather, it is written as historical narrative, and affirmed by Jesus and the NT writers as true history, not myth.

Pro-choice advocates like to frame the debate as simply a matter of ‘choice’. Men aren’t even supposed to have an opinion. But if evolution is true, can there even be freedom of choice if our thoughts are simply the result of chemical reactions? Freedom to choose comes from God, who allowed us this freedom so we could choose to love Him and do His will, not choose our own selfish desires.

Millions of people from all around the world have reported seeing what they think are aliens from outer space. How should Christians respond to these reports? The Bible provides direction for understanding aliens and UFOs.

Within a theistic evolutionary framework, and many other ‘old earth’ views too, all members of Homo sapiens who were alive prior to the point when God made them like himself were soulless. Actually, there is irrefutable evidence that human ancestors of the genus Homo—allegedly soulless ones, according to advocates of theistic evolution—were spiritually aware beings, that they had a concept of an after-life.

Teaching our sons and daughters a biblical worldview is one of the most important things we can do as Christian parents. Even from a young age, our children are absorbing information about origins through storybooks, cartoons, and documentaries. It is important for parents to be proactive in presenting our children with a biblical answer in all aspects of learning. One of the primary audiences of the Scripture, “always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks for a reason for the hope that is in you” (1Peter 3:15), would be our children no matter how young or old.

The question has been raised: have we learned our lesson? We are in a spiritual battle against powerful adversaries and the enemies of the Gospel are not going to stop. But we have the Creator of the universe on our side.

How old does the Bible say the earth is? Can we trust biblical chronology, and how close to an exact ‘age’ can we get? Is the Greek translation of the Old Testament a better record of the Bible’s history? These questions can be answered, but we have to think through the issues.

The Bible itself is a historical record that is often discounted, but over and over again it has been shown that it accurately speaks about people, places, and events in the ancient world. While we believe that as the Word of God it is more than a historical document, it is not less.

It is evident that beliefs stemming from antiquity regarding the existence of mythical creatures continued into the early modern period, despite clear statements of caution from Augustine. Popular superstition and mythology filtered into the minds of many academics when faced with new, but limited numbers of primate specimens from Africa and Asia.

What is the evidence for it? Where does it fit into Biblical history? What caused it? This weeks’ episode has the answers.

The assumption that Darwin did not convert is relatively easy to reconcile with the available evidence. In contrast, the notion that he did become a Christian seems to me to be very difficult to reconcile with several aspects. In any case, the truth or otherwise of creation or evolution is not affected by whether or not Darwin changed his mind.

Skeptics often say the account of Noah’s Flood is not credible, because it would be impossible to fit two of every creature in the world onto a single boat and sustain them for a year. But when one considers the size of the Ark and the number of animals Noah needed to take, this challenge turns out to be not so daunting. Further challenges are also raised and addressed as well, including how fish and insects could survive the Flood conditions despite not being present on the Ark.

Leading evolutionists at a special conference agree that what is taught in classrooms today is inadequate in explaining our existence. But teaching that God created is not considered.

Scientific American: “in the lingo of evolutionary biology, natural selection favored those cats that were able to cohabit with humans and thereby gain access to the trash and mice.” In contrast, the supposed evolution pathway from primordial cell to Persian cats, pumas and panthers requires an increase in genetic information.

Genesis 11 implies that the Flood survivors set out westward from a camp not far to the east of the plain of Shinar in southern Iraq. A map shows that the camp must have been in the western part of the Zagros mountains.

Is ape and human DNA really 99% similar? Many people believe humans evolved from and apelike ancestor, but science disagrees: we were created!
