God’s Word Vs. Man’s Word
September 04, 2020 10:00All this week we’ve seen that the battle between science and the Bible isn’t really over … science and the Bible! It’s actually a battle over interpretations … and starting points.
A Lot of Time . . . or a Lot of Water?
September 03, 2020 10:00What shaped our earth: a lot of time, or a lot of water? These are the two primary interpretations of the rock layers and fossils.
It’s Faith Vs. Faith
September 02, 2020 10:00Often, we hear about a supposed battle between science and the Bible. But it’s really a struggle over two starting points—man’s word or God’s Word.
Two Kinds of Science
September 01, 2020 10:00When you think of “science,” you probably think of the scientific method … or knowledge about the natural world. Well, there’re actually two different kinds of science.
Same Evidence, but Two Worldviews
August 31, 2020 10:00We often hear about the battle over who has the most evidence for their worldview. But is evolution versus creation really a battle over evidence? No. The real battle is over interpretation.
Speaking Life
August 28, 2020 10:00When a woman expecting a baby is asked if she’s having a boy or girl, she may respond with, “We just want a healthy baby.” Now, of course, no one wants their baby to be sick!
Pro-life Beyond Abortion
August 27, 2020 10:00Scripture has a lot to say about the sanctity of human life. We’re told in Genesis that each person is made in God’s image.
The Testimony of Scripture
August 26, 2020 10:00Scripture has a lot to say about the sanctity of human life. We’re told in Genesis that each person is made in God’s image.
A Natural Consequence
August 24, 2020 10:00At Answers in Genesis, we’re unashamedly pro-life. We stand against abortion and euthanasia. We stand up for life. It’s a natural consequence of our position on biblical authority.
Millions of Years? We Don’t Need Them!
August 21, 2020 10:00Many Christians try to add millions of years into Scripture. But they don’t need to! The supposed millions of years come from the rock layers and fossils.
Only Noah Was Left
August 20, 2020 10:00Scripture obviously teaches a global flood. It says, “All the high mountains under the whole heaven were covered” … and “all flesh died.” Also, “only Noah was left, and those with him on the ark.”
Just a Local Flood?
August 19, 2020 10:00The idea of a local flood comes from outside the Bible, specifically the idea of millions of years. But those supposed long ages allegedly come from the rock layers and fossils.
Traditional . . . or Biblical?
August 18, 2020 10:00When I talk about marriage, I always refer to “biblical” marriage. Now, others say “traditional marriage” … or “traditional family values.” Why don’t I?
Just a Different Interpretation?
August 17, 2020 10:00Christians are starting with ideas from outside Scripture. When we reinterpret God’s clear words in light of the ideas of fallible man, God’s Word is no longer our authority.
Lazarus Bacteria?
August 14, 2020 10:00These “Lazarus bacteria” are a challenge for evolutionists—but not for creationists. The salts these bacteria were found in were likely laid down during Noah’s flood.
Not Enough Salt in the Sea
August 13, 2020 10:00Every year, over three hundred million tons of salt are added to the ocean. This is a problem for the evolutionary worldview. From a biblical worldview, the earth is young.
A Melting Snowball
August 12, 2020 10:00Comets can’t last very long, yet they’re all over the solar system. And this is a big problem for the billions of years worldview.
Fossils, Coal, and Diamonds
August 11, 2020 10:00What do fossils, coal, and diamonds have in common? Well, they’re all assumed to be millions of years old. And they’ve all been tested for a radioactive form of carbon called C fourteen.
Helium in Rocks
August 10, 2020 10:00When certain elements in rocks decay, they produce helium. Now, helium’s very slippery, quickly leaving the rock. It leaves so fast that it should’ve leaked out within just one hundred thousand years.
Our Magnetic Field
August 07, 2020 10:00Our earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that protects us from the sun’s harmful radiation. The magnetic field is so important that, without it, life just wouldn’t exist on earth.
Soft Tissue in Fossils
August 05, 2020 10:00When we think about dinosaurs and other extinct creatures, we think of fossils. And, of course, we should—that’s how we find their remains today.
A Freezing Earth?
August 05, 2020 10:00When we start with God’s Word, we know that the sun was made perfectly for earth. Just the right distance, and just the right temperature … and created only a few thousand years ago!
Bent Rock Layers
August 04, 2020 10:00According to evolutionists, these layers are laid down very slowly … with millions of years in between the layers. This means each layer would’ve been hardened before the next layer was laid down.
Not Enough Sediment on the Seafloor
August 03, 2020 10:00Wind and water will erode dirt … and rock debris … off the continents into the ocean. On average, there’s just over one thousand feet.
A Balanced Approach
July 31, 2020 10:00> How should we approach caring for God’s creation? Well, as we’ve seen this week, we’re to have dominion over all God has made. We’re to care for creation for God’s glory … and our good.
Stewarding with Wisdom
July 30, 2020 10:00All this week we’ve been looking at what it means to have “dominion” over God’s creation. We’re to care for creation for God’s glory … and our good.
Stewards over God’s Creation
July 29, 2020 10:00we’re to have dominion over creation. Having dominion means we’re to care for God’s creation … as its stewards. He’s entrusted what he’s made to us.
Humans—Made in God’s Image
July 28, 2020 10:00The dominion mandate flies in the face of our culture. We’re constantly told that humans are a blight on the planet. There are too many of us, and we need to limit the population.
What Does “Dominion” Mean?
July 27, 2020 10:00When God created the first two people, he made them in his image. And he gave them a purpose: “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion.”
Why Was This Volcano Important?
July 24, 2020 10:00Mount St. Helens taught us a lot about catastrophes and its aftermath did to the world. It showed catastrophes have the power to rapidly form features.
Centuries or Just Decades?
July 23, 2020 10:00It doesn’t take long for life to recover after a catastrophe, even the eruption of a volcano. When Mount St. Helens erupted forty years ago, the animals died, but life returned wihin a decade.
A Slow Recovery?
July 22, 2020 10:00God has designed his creation to come back quickly after something terrible happens. Here’s an example. If you visit Mount St. Helens in Washington state, you’ll see a beautiful wilderness.
Should We Trust the Dates?
July 21, 2020 10:00We often hear about rocks that are millions of years old. But should we trust these dates? Well, dating methods are based on assumptions.
Fast-Forming Canyons
July 20, 2020 10:00Some say a river slowly erodes the rock, and, over a long time, a canyon appears. It doesn’t take millions of years to form the features we see today. It just takes the right conditions.
Rock Layers in Just Hours?
July 17, 2020 10:00Forty years ago, Mount St. Helens in Washington state blew its top. This eruption started a series of geologic events. Hundreds of feet of sediment were laid down in just hours.
Making Coal
July 16, 2020 10:00Geologists assume it takes hundreds of thousands of years to form these beds. But Mount St. Helens reminds us that such is not the case.
A Forest Lake
July 15, 2020 10:00When Mount St. Helens erupted forty years ago, it created a massive wave in nearby Spirit Lake. This wave washed a million trees into the lake and many sank upright.
Causing an Ice Age
July 14, 2020 10:00This year marks forty years since the eruption of Mount St. Helens. So we’re looking at some of the lessons this catastrophe taught us.
Just a Small Catastrophe!
July 13, 2020 10:00Mount St. Helens was once a cone-shaped volcano—well, that is until the equivalent of twenty megatons of TNT blew a side of the mountain away.
Flood Legends
July 10, 2020 10:00Different cultures all around the world have similar stories. Here’s an example: “A man builds a boat, puts his family and animals on it, and there’s a flood.”
The Rocks Cry Out
July 09, 2020 10:00Many people think the account of Noah’s ark and the flood is just a fictional story. But did you know the evidence is all around us?
Millions of Animals on the Ark?
July 08, 2020 10:00Noah didn’t need to take two of every species, just two of every “family.” So Noah probably had less than seven thousand animals on the ark.
It Was How Big?
July 07, 2020 10:00Today we’re celebrating four years since the Ark Encounter opened in Northern Kentucky. Now, the centerpiece of the attraction is a life-size reconstruction of Noah’s ark, 510-feet long!
Noah’s Ark—Just a Story?
July 06, 2020 10:00Many people believe Noah’s ark … and the flood … are just a children’s story. They’ll say it certainly didn’t happen.
Was There a Canopy?
July 02, 2020 10:00The last few days we’ve been looking at the idea that a canopy of water vapor once surrounded the earth. We saw that this idea isn’t fully supported by Scripture.
A Vapor Canopy?
July 01, 2020 10:00Some Christians take the phrase “waters above the expanse” from Genesis chapter one and interpret them as a canopy.But that’s not directly stated in the text. We’re just told there are waters above.
Vapor Canopy?
July 01, 2020 10:00Some Christians take the phrase “waters above the expanse” from Genesis chapter one and interpret them as a canopy.But that’s not directly stated in the text. We’re just told there are waters above.
Disagreement Among Creationists?
June 30, 2020 10:00> I sometimes get asked about the vapor canopy model. This model comes from the idea that a canopy of water vapor used to surround the earth before Noah’s flood.
Who Wrote Genesis?
June 29, 2020 10:00Some Christians now deny that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible. But Jesus alluded that Moses is the author, when he said, “If you believed Moses, you’d believe me, for he wrote about me.”
No Need to Add Millions of Years
June 26, 2020 10:00Many Christians try to add millions of years into Scripture. But there’s absolutely no reason to do this!
