Creation Talk 102 ~ YouTube Version

Too many churches have abandoned the literal history of Genesis, the only solution. Instead, they have embraced evolutionism, a major part of the problem. The best way to counter bad thinking and ideas is not censorship but good ideas.

God, who is holy, true, good, and has beauty, created man for His glory. Created not evolved, we can reflect holiness, truth, goodness and beauty in our language, literature, music, mathematics, creativity and dominion, and so fulfill the purpose for which God brought us into being. Or we can rebel. It is true that we have all rebelled, but we can become new creatures in Christ through repentance and faith in Christ’s death and resurrection on our behalf.

This episode features Dr Robert Carter and Dr Jonathan Sarfati. They discuss in detail many of the facts surrounding the famous trial of Galileo and dismiss many of the associated urban myths (many of which are intentionally propagated by skeptics). They also delve more deeply into the intellectual background in the centuries leading up to Galileo, Copernicus, and Newton. Galileo was politically naïve, which got him into a lot of hot water. He was also overconfident about his ideas, while his opponents (correctly) pointed out the flaws in his reasoning. Yet, he did his best and most enduring work during those years of house arrest. The history of scientific progress and how it relates to Christian history is well worth studying and this episode will not let you down.

The guidelines we find in the Bible address the ethical claims of animal rights advocates. Our interaction with animals and our use of them must be consistent with God’s moral requirements and for His glory.

Jesus said that God causes the rain to fall on the righteous and the unrighteous. Both believers and non-believers all share this same sin-cursed planet, and there is nothing we can do of ourselves to save ourselves from the effects of it.

Why did dinosaurs go extinct? Did you know that there are over a hundred theories by secular scientists for why dinosaurs died out? Did an asteroid strike cause the extinction of dinosaurs? Why doesn’t this theory work? How do biblical creationists explain the extinction of dinosaurs if dinosaurs and man once lived together?

If evolution was true, the further back into history we look should reveal a gradual decline in man’s intelligence. Science shows otherwise. Man, created in God’s image, has always been intelligent.

On July 15, 1942, six P–38 Lightning fighters and two B–17 bombers left a secret US Army air base headed for a British airfield to fight Hitler. They never made it. Find out how this story relates to the Ice Age and the authenticity of scripture.

Understanding that ‘God is light’ highlights the need for people to come into a right relationship with God by the one and only means that He has provided.

Cloning and stem cell research technologies have been around for a while now, and they often generate controversy. Discover the Biblical response that Christians should be taking regarding these things.

Can certain geologic features like tillites, chalk beds and paleosols be explained by a global flood? Skeptics say no. Find out how the Biblical flood makes more sense of the very features used to try and disprove it!

Considering the complexities of flight, it is really no surprise that it took over a century and a half after the development of the first machines in the Industrial Revolution to develop the first controlled flying machine. That it took so long, despite the application of much intelligence and engineering skill, is a powerful indication that flight could not have evolved by progressive selection of a series of random accidents.

Does the Bible say pi equals 3? Does it mention unicorns as real animals? Does it say that insects have 4 legs? Skeptics answer yes, but are wrong, again!

Jesus prayed that believers, “would be brought into complete unity, or become perfectly one”. Jesus prioritized unity. Listen to this episode to learn how this relates to Christians who hold different views of creation.

The new discovery by Vaknin and others may lead to further discoveries corroborating the historical accuracy of the Bible. The possibility that carbon-14 can be accurately calibrated is big news for archaeology, and particularly for biblical archaeology.
