By Creation Moments The leviathan of Job 41 appears to be a ferocious creature. It cannot be caught with any sort of hook. It cannot be captured by harpoon, either through its jaw or its nose. The description given in Job 41 is that of an enormous sea monster with great strength, defensive armor, and able to breathe fire. This last attribute has led many to suggest that the creature is not real but only mythical. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
By Creation Moments “There’s glory for you!” said Humpty Dumpty. “I don’t know what you mean by ‘glory'” Alice said. Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. “Of course you don’t – till I tell you. I meant ‘there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!” “But ‘glory’ doesn’t mean ‘a nice knock-down argument,'” Alice objected. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
By Creation Moments The word prehistoric refers to a period of time before there were people on the Earth. Evolutionists assume that to have been for millions of years, so their accounts of the majority of fossils would refer to them as prehistoric. As Bible believers, we know that God made everything in the Creation Week, so there was no prehistoric time. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
By Sarah Chaffee Matti Leisola, the Finnish biochemist whose story is told in his new book Heretic: One Scientist’s Journey from Darwin to Design, spoke by Skype with a crowd in Dallas recently. He describes that journey, including his research, some of the reasons he made the turn to belief in design, and other scientists’ sometimes irrational reactions to his conclusions.

By Creation Moments We are all familiar with the concept of the Ice Age – probably due to the eponymous cartoon feature film series. Evolutionists believe that this event took place about 2.6 million years ago. There is considerable evidence around the world of valleys carved by glaciation, and glacial moraines – deposits of rocky debris left at the end of glaciers. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
By Sarah Chaffee Robert Crowther speaks with Sarah Chaffee, the CSC’s Program Officer in Education and Public Policy, about some recent threats to academic freedom in America, particularly in the area of evolution and intelligent design. The two also discuss a new website, Freescience.today, supporting academic freedom through resources for school board members, teachers and students; stories of academic discrimination; and strategic advice on getting involved to defend the academic freedom of students and educators.

Is the universe billions of years old—or only thousands? Many Christians are uncomfortable with the idea of recent creation because they think science has “proven” otherwise. Is this a worthy battle? Can science prove the age of the universe? Click to listen
Textbooks and even children’s books tout dinosaur history going back millions of years. The Bible presents a different account of only thousands of years. Can fossils help us discern between these two different interpretations? Click to listen
Many famous secular physicists claim we don’t need a Creator to explain the universe’s origin. They say “the laws of physics created the universe,” or, “the universe could have created itself.” Dr. Hebert offers four compelling reasons why this is not a scientific claim. Click to listen
By Creation Moments It was singer Frank Sinatra who was known as Ol’ Blue Eyes because of the piercing color of his irises. But now evolutionary scientists are suggesting that those, who, like me, share Sinatra’s eye color, might also share a common ancestor. Frank might be my cousin! read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
“Birds are living dinosaurs.” Can we trust the bold narratives of museum displays and textbooks? Evolutionary scientists investigate this subject and are still divided on the matter. What is the truth? Brian shares three clear reasons why birds did not evolve from reptiles. Click to listen
By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, Rob Crowther continues his conversation with J. Scott Turner, biologist at the State University of New York (SUNY), visiting scholar at Cambridge University, and author of the new book Purpose and Desire: What Makes Something “Alive” and Why Modern Darwinism Has Failed to Explain It. Turner critiques evolutionary biology’s bias toward mechanistic and gene-centric thinking, and contemporary biology’s failure to come to grips with the evidence of purpose and intentionality at many levels of biology. Viewing the brain as a computer, for example, obscures many things about the brain and

By Creation Moments I am completely relaxed. I have my work under control. I have a cup of coffee with me. And Beethoven’s Pastoral Symphony is playing in the background. Then there is an ugly sound. It is a pinging sound, and it comes from my smartphone. It is a notification. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments

For this reason, evolutionists would assume that those frogs which produce toxins are likely to be fitter to survive in the process of natural selection. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
By Creation Moments The Book of Ecclesiastes keeps on referencing the world “under the Sun”. What does the writer mean by this? The writer of the book of Ecclesiastes is referred to in Hebrew as Qohelet. This word describes an office rather than a name and refers to one who addresses a gathering, assembly, or congregation. Therefore, Qohelet is often roughly translated as teacher or preacher. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments

By Sarah Chaffee Scott Turner is a biologist and physiologist, a professor at State University of New York College of Environmental Sciences and Forestry and visiting professor at Cambridge. In this episode, Rob Crowther interviews him about his new book Purpose and Desire: What Makes Something Alive and Why Modern Darwinism Has Failed To Explain It. Turner argues that modern Darwinism has reached a scientific dead end, unable to tell us what life is, treats many of its features — including purpose and desire — virtually as illusions. There’s a better way to view life, says Turner. Your browser does

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, Dr. Jay Richards talks with John Lennox about his book God and Stephen Hawking: Whose Design Is It Anyway? In this book, Prof. Lennox counters Stephen Hawking’s argument in The Grand Design that “the universe can and will create itself from nothing.” Is philosophy dead, as Hawking claims? Is the so-called M-theory the “only viable candidate” for a complete ‘theory of everything’? Tune in and find out!

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, we explore two topics. Sarah Chaffee analyzes New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof’s viewpoints on intellectual diversity. Kristof makes a compelling case for hiring faculty with varying political and religious viewpoints, but stops short when it comes to those skeptical of evolution. Then, David Klinghoffer discusses the “anti-science” label – and how it’s now used by those on both sides of disagreements on scientific issues.

By Creation Moments One of the fundamental lessons we learn from Scripture is that there is only one God. There are, however, a lot of false gods. In biblical times, these would often have been idols of wood, stone, or metal. But there are idols all around us today which demand our worship. These could be anything that people have put in the place of God. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
By Creation Moments The Ark was made of wood, so it had to be waterproofed. The most suitable type of waterproofing would be a hydrophobic substance, such as oil or grease. So it was coated inside and out with pitch. But what actually is pitch? In modern parlance, this refers to an oil fraction. But here some people raise a problem. If pitch is an oil fraction, then do we not assume that oil was produced during the Flood? read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
By Creation Moments Imagine that the tide went out much farther than it had ever done before. Imagine that you lived in a world full of evil, but this day it seemed like something big was about to happen. One man and his family had been building an enormous vessel while warning people of the coming judgment of God. You had joined in the laughter with everyone else. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
By Creation Moments Genesis 1:1 is pretty cool. It tells us that God made the world, the universe, and everything from nothing. It is a verse that gives the lie to all the great philosophies of the modern age. Yet, if I had to choose what I thought was the most beautiful verse in Genesis, that first verse would be close, but not the one. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments
