If the whole Earth were covered by a worldwide Flood, there would have been no place for freshwater to survive. This seems like a huge problem until you examine the possibilities. First, many fish species can adjust to both fresh and saltwater conditions, even if this is not their preferred environment. Second, many species could have easily lost the ability to live in one environment over time. Third, there are multiple ways to preserve freshwater pools and lenses during the worldwide Flood. In the end, this is not a problem at all. Freshwater and saltwater fishes could easily survive this year-long watery catastrophe.

Preserved in amber, the bee is dated at 100 million years old on the evolutionary timeline. The lack of great morphological change supports the biblical creation model in which bees were created only about 6,000 years ago. Ironically, the way in which this bee was fossilized may also point to a massive flood.

Debate rages about whether there is ‘design’ in nature, or if the teaching of intelligent design is even ‘science’. However, the best robotics engineers have yet to design a navigation program as good as a bee’s and run it on a chip with the energy efficiency of a bee’s brain. So it’s reasonable to believe that the honeybee was designed by a Master Programmer whose intelligence is beyond our own.

We discuss the value of applying the mountains of creation evidence to your walk with Christ. Guidelines and some things to think about for developing a solid, unshakable faith.

I want my students to be able to catch this vision as I did, to be critical thinkers and able to grasp the significance of this world and their place in it. ‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge … My son, eat honey, because it is good; and the honeycomb, is sweet to your palate; so shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul’.

Among the wonders of God’s creation, the honeybee provides some startling evidence against evolution, and for design and purpose by the Creator.

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.
