What are the problems with adding millions of years to the Bible? How does such compromises drive old-earthers such as Hugh Ross into other errors?

Atheists not only can, but must be (at least to some extent) good without believing in God—even if they hate God with every inch of their being. If they are really made in the image of God as the Bible teaches (Genesis 1:27), then that fact must have some results. They, like all of us, are fallen (as explained in Genesis 3), but even so must still have an in-built sense of the reality and the importance of right and wrong.

A limestone shale slab from the Green River Formation, USA, has incredibly ‘captured’ a mass of 257 fish swimming together in a school. Interestingly, it is clear to evolutionists that the fish school’s fossilization absolutely required a rapid process.

Did God create millions of years ago, or only thousands? Can we know for sure? How accurately can a date be determined? Watch this week's episode for a discussion on these topics.

Ignoring the 100 million killed last century through the evolution-fueled ideologies of Hitler and Marx, Prof. Richard Dawkins has eagerly attacked all the ‘Abrahamic religions’, including Christianity, as intrinsically slaughter-prone. His message: only belief in an afterlife would make one capable of suicidal atrocities. But it was not secularism, but America’s Biblical heritage which made it, for all its faults, the most just, free and religiously tolerant nation on Earth.

Why is it important that God became man in the Incarnation? What does the Bible tell us about this important event?

Surveys show that many youth who grow up in the church will leave. Today we examine these surveys and present a powerful solution that is already making a difference.

Christ’s birth is one of the greatest events in all of history. Although the popular media and most educational institutions largely ridicule the biblical version of the Nativity, a fair-minded analysis paints a different picture. Foretold by Old Testament prophecies, supported by historical evidence, and logically feasible based on the existence of the God of the Bible, the Nativity is much more than just a nice story.

Human genetic engineering is no longer science fiction. The Christian community needs to understand the pros and cons of the issues involved so that we can develop informed responses to the upcoming moral and cultural challenges.

Whatever may have been the exact nature of this star at Christ’s birth, it did give perfect witness to its Creator, Christ. Therefore, key representatives of the world’s great Gentile nations came to fall down and worship the King of the Jews, knowing that one day every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ, the Creator and Redeemer, is Lord (Philippians 2:10,11).

A few people occasionally recalled the legendary Lost Squadron of 1942, but it was only in 1980 that anyone thought of a salvage mission. U.S. airplane dealer Patrick Epps told his friend, architect Richard Taylor, that the planes would be like new. “All we’d have to do is shovel the snow off the wings, fill them with gas, crank them up and fly them off into the sunset. Nothing to it.”

The star of Bethlehem and the wise men: separating true history from the legends.

Jesus pre-existed creation, and never came into existence because He existed eternally. It was through Him that all created things came into existence. This entails a plurality in the Godhead, which is taught even from Genesis, and this required our Creator to add human nature to His divine nature.

It is clear that there is one overall reason why birds have always been able to fly, and why man’s attempts have taken off only with the invention of flying planes. What is it? The birds got off to a flying start at the time of their creation. Flight, like birds, could not, and did not, evolve. It was created intact in the beginning.

We agree that for a lot of people who celebrate Christmas it has lost its meaning. But that does not in itself make it wrong. Most people in Western countries will celebrate Christmas and give each other gifts. What a great opportunity we have to explain the love of God for lost mankind. We say, Merry Christmas to you all and put the Christ back in Christmas.

As we enjoy all the good things about Christmas, we also need to remember that the ‘reason for the season’ is that Jesus came to Earth to be born, to live, and to die for the sins of the world, and then to rise again to give new life to all who put their faith and trust in Him.
