Many years ago, Mary Jo & I spent a full evening answering a professor’s arguments for evolution and presenting a solid case for creation. About midnight it dawned on us that nothing was penetrating. We asked the professor what he would accept as evidence in favor of a Creator. He replied, “Absolutely nothing!” I wished we had asked that question 5 hours earlier! Just recently we asked another professor the same question. His response was (rough quote from memory), “If...

For a long time people thought that living things came from non-living things … mud turned into frogs, old rags turned into rats, and rotten meat turned into white worms. In the late 17th century, a man named Francesco Redi did an experiment to see if meat did turn into worms. He put meat into two jars, one covered with fine gauze and the other left open. Redi observed that flies crawled all over the uncovered meat laying eggs, which later turned to fly larvae (white worms...

If the world is millions or billions of years old as evolutionists claim, river deltas should extend hundreds of times farther out into the ocean than they do. If earth were created around 6000 years ago as the Bible leads us to believe, deltas should be more or less the length we find them now. So what can those who insist on believing in millions of years claim if they look at a map and see that the longest deltas at the mouths of the worlds large rivers only extend...

Did you hear about the recent claim that Noah’s ark has been found? ( http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/04/27/noahs-ark-found-turkey-ararat/?test=latestnews ) Within 24 hours of the original news report, another report indicated that it is a hoax. ( http://doctor.claudemariottini.com/2010/04/inside-noahs-ark-hoax.html ) Which one is reliable? We are not sure, yet, but are still waiting for more dust to settle before making a determination. While most Christians...

Even a polar bear has to keep warm. Part of its heat is produced in the daylight by the sun shining on its fur. The fur consists of clear, hollow hairs which are very similar in design to fiber optics. Sunlight penetrates these fibers and the warmth from the sun is transferred directly into the body. The hollow hair also provides a dead air space for insulation, thus helping the polar bear stay warm longer. Is it fair to say that since fiber optics are highly designed, so...

Evolutionists used to believe and teach that 180 parts of the human body were “vestigial”, or useless leftovers, from our supposed past evolution. We now realize that these are not unnecessary leftovers, but actually have very important functions. Included on that list were such crucial parts of our body such as the pituitary gland (the master gland of the body), and the thymus, etc. Even today, people still call the appendix and the tonsils leftovers from our...

Some rock layers contain fossils that are found out of the supposed evolutionary order, i.e. older fossils on top of younger fossils. This is usually explained by a concept called “overthrusting.” In this process, rock layers break up and one section is uplifted. Forces push the one layer containing the older fossils over the top of the younger layers. In some cases, there seems to be evidence of this, and at other times there is absolutely no evidence. But we...

Frequently, one colored geologic formation is tightly stacked upon another formation. If there were really millions of years of gradual deposition (as normally assumed), wouldn’t the water saturated with the chemicals responsible for the coloration have seeped into the formations below? This would result in unclear boundaries between formations, but we see razor sharp boundaries. Perhaps alternating currents during the time of the Flood quickly stacked one layer on...

Throughout the world, there is a sharp break between ancient rock and the sedimentary or volcanic material on top of it. This is called the “Great Unconformity.” In many places just above this break, large deposits of rock debris including very large boulders are found. It appears like a major water catastrophe planed off the existing landscape leaving the large boulders behind. This is considered by many Biblical geologists to represent the time of the initial...

Fossil Clams and Orthoceras Bedding Directions Some limestone layers found in Texas contain thousands of petrified clams. The clams are so tightly packed, they are touching each other. Clams don’t normally live nor die the way they are found. Most of the fossils are tightly closed. Since clam shells open when a clam dies, these clams were buried alive so quickly that they didn’t have a chance to dig their way out of the sediment. This mass mortality of clams...
