Q: True or False? The age of moon rocks is what secular scientists use to determine the age of the solar system. A: True (and False). The assigned age of 4.6 billion years for the solar system is based on radioisotope study of moon rocks and meteorites. However, check our web (use the Discover Creation Search Engine) to understand the problems with these dating methods. Q: True or False? Most earth rocks tend to yield younger radioisotope ages than moon rocks. A: True....

Whenever a scientist begins an experiment, he accepts certain basic, unprovable assumptions. Sometimes these assumptions may seem quite believable – other times, they may be a shot in the dark. If the assumptions are good, the results are probably reliable. If the assumptions are bad, so are the results. Consider the following examples. In the past, functions of various body organs were not understood. Since evolution was assumed true, many organs were assumed to be...

Certainly Stauroteuthis syrtensis, a little baseball-sized octopus, takes first place in the talent show of intelligent design. It is the first of its kind to be found in the ocean depths flaunting glow-in-the-dark legs. This particular octopus has bioluminescent organs, similar to suckers that emit an eerie blue-green glow to attract its dinner. Sea creatures living above it have a diet that includes an abundance of light-generating microbes. These become luminescent as...

Personally, praying mantises give me the “creeps.” I am not like a friend of mine who, as a child, kept a praying mantis named, “Barbara” in his bedroom. To me, there has always been something sinister and austere about them. After reading about their reproductive habits, I had more reason to feel this way. As a part of the mating process, the male praying mantis is actually eaten by the female! If a male is lucky, the female will wait until during or after the ritual...

After a seminar, a girl came forward who was obviously struggling. She was a foreign exchange student from Germany who professed to be an atheist. As she talked with Rich Stepanek, she confided, “One of my friends went to America, and came back a Christian. I promised myself that wouldn’t happen to me.” After Rich and the pastor shared with her for over an hour however, she prayed to receive Christ as her Savior! For seven months her host family had been witnessing to...

When specimens of the duckbill platypus were first sent to England in the late 1700’s, many English scientists thought it was a fraud. It plainly didn’t fit well in any of the categories of animals known at that time. Was it a bird, a reptile, a mammal or a combination of all of these? The platypus is an extremely interesting creature. It has fur like a mammal but it lays soft, leathery eggs like a reptile. Usually 1-3 eggs are laid in a nest built by the mother...

Pun intended, but ants really do produce antifreeze, too! Yep, it gets cold out there in the ground under a blanket of snow. Since the ants don’t have their own central heating systems, they need to have a way to keep from freezing during the winter. So the colder it gets, the more antifreeze is actually produced. Did this ability happen by chance over millions of years by mutation and natural selection as our evolutionist friends would claim? Scientists have long...

Think of how many times we have said, “It sure is cold this winter. Global warming nothing — it isn’t happening here!” Sometimes it would seem our blood is ready to freeze in our veins. So we crank up the heat in the house and head for the auto store to get extra antifreeze for the car. We throw extra blankets on the bed and snuggle in with a good issue of Think & Believe for comfort! Bears hibernate in their dens and other animals put on thicker fur coats, but what...

Most linguists agree that children are born as universalists; meaning that they have the potential to speak any language. It is obvious that speech patterns become more ordered and sophisticated as a child grows. However, for spoken language to develop, the links between the phases of development must be exact and complete before the next phase can be achieved. For example, if a child is interrupted in one stage of development by trauma or lack of stimulation, it is...

Marine iguanas are found only on the Galápagos Islands located in the Pacific Ocean near Ecuador, South America. They are the only lizards that are able to live and feed in the sea. Marine iguanas are vegetarians. They feed on seaweed and algae which they find on rocks, in tidal pools, or in the sea. The adult males can grow to over 5 feet long and the females up to almost 4 feet. On land, marine iguanas are rather clumsy lizards, but in the water they are powerful,...
