The summer of 2005 marked the 80th anniversary of the infamous Scopes trail. Creationists have drawn attention in recent years to the way in which this event has been distorted by humanists – especially through the well-known play and movie “Inherit the Wind”. “Inherit the Wind” portrays Biblical creationists as narrow-minded persecutors of evolutionists, resorting to bad tactics to enforce their own viewpoint. However, the Scopes trial transcript tells quite a different...

God’s Word has come under attack on many fronts. For over 25 years, our particular “assignment” in this battlefield has been to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ and proclaim the truth of His Word, starting with Genesis 1-11. These passages are foundational to understanding the rest of the Bible. Genesis lays the groundwork for all the major doctrinal themes found in the rest of the Bible such as God’s sovereignty, man’s position under God, righteousness, sin, judgment, and...

When I started reading How Blind Is the Watchmaker, by Neil Broom, I was strangely reminded of a cartoon. Although I can’t remember the source, it illustrates the all-too-frequent practice of modern science. Words like “meaning,” and “purpose,” are covered up because they go against the prevailing notions of materialism – that we exist in a vast, meaningless, cosmic machine that is driven completely by chance. Ironically, to fabricate their story, scientists can’t escape...

People ask us at AOI, “What do you do?” Before I answer this question, it would be good to answer another question first: Why Do We Do What We Do? The theory of evolution doesn’t hold up to scientific investigation, yet we and our children are being taught it is a “fact.” Evolutionary ideas impact all of our society, affecting the way people think about God, themselves, and issues facing society – and consequently, how they live their lives. A high percentage of youth from...

When God said, “Let there be light,” He energized the creation. In John Chapter One we read: “All things were made by Him (Christ), In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” It was Jesus who brought life into this world, because Jesus is the light of the world. (John 8:12) Light is pure energy, which brings life to all God’s Creation. That little child of Bethlehem has turned the light on and brought us Light and Life – eternal life. As we look at His...

Before I became a Christian, I was taught that the Word of God was an outdated book written by primitive people who did not have modern scientific knowledge. However, the Bible revealed scientific knowledge thousands of years ahead of its time. About the same time Charles Darwin was developing his theories of evolution, a man named Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk and scientist, was performing scientific experiments with pea plants. His work on breeding pea plants reopened...

The Bible indicates the universe is young but why does it appear so old? Physicist, Dr. Russell Humphreys studied this problem for about 12 years. His professional career as a scientist at Sandia Laboratories includes investigating various aspects of nuclear energy which requires a thorough understanding of relativity theory. His answer to the problem is based upon Einstein’s prediction that clocks run at different rates. The rate that a clock records time has been...

Have you even been struck with awe and wonder on a clear, starlit night? There is something special about the stars that lift our eyes heavenward and our thoughts beyond every day cares. Somehow, in a very real way, God reveals His Glory in the heavens. In our modern world of cities, smog, and electric lights, we can often go for weeks without gazing at the stars; but I suspect it wasn’t that way in times past. For settlers scattered on the plains of the American west,...

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shewest his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. (Psalsm 19:1-3) As a child, few things jarred my awareness for the existence of God more than a clear summer’s night sky. The incomprehensible vastness and peaceful sparkling beauty testified of an all-wise, all-powerful God. The Bible states that on the fourth...

“By all rights, life in the sea should leave a dolphinbaked, crushed, and sterile. This graceful mammal avoids such a fate only by slipping through loopholes in the laws of physiology.” With such a come-on, who could resist reading “The Dolphin Strategy,” in the March, 1997, issue of Discover? The discoveries revealed in the article proved to be fascinating and exciting. One puzzle for scientists was the problem of oxygen consumption on a deep dive. Research showed that...
