In this paper the origin and genesis of COVID-19 are postulated, and the epidemiological/ecological aspects of the disease and biblical perspective are shared.
When we begin to examine life on the molecular level, we quickly begin to realize that hemoglobin is specially designed for multiple purposes.
Uranium-lead radioisotope dating is now the preferred absolute dating method among geochronologists. But there are several problems with this particular method.
Researchers studying mole-rats and the East African root rat discovered that several had pain insensitivity to different irritants (referred to as “algogens”).
It was recently discovered that double-stranded microRNA (miRNAs) fed to honey bees conferred resistance to certain viral diseases that they were exposed to.
Animal polyploidy does exist, though it appears to be far less common than it is in plants. As in plants, polyploidy arises as a reproductive mistake.
Since an increase of information is needed for molecules-to-man evolution, evolutionists postulate polyploidy as a means for this.
A significant fraction of the earth’s radioactive elements, particularly uranium and thorium, appear to be in the granitic rock of the upper continental crust.
PDF DownloadERVs are found in the same location in the genome across species, so evolutionists apply their ideas of common ancestry and say ERVs demonstrate evolution.
If mathematics is already thought out and constructed by someone, it is logical that there would be no contradictions.
From almost the same genetic building blocks, DNA, very different results are achieved! But is that the result of evolution, or God’s design?
Evolutionists say the oldest human fossil, the Ledi jaw (LD 350-1), shows humans had evolved from ancestors like Lucy in East Africa 2.8 million years ago.
Many Christians today embrace the big bang theory as an avenue for evangelism, but if big bang evangelism ever was effective, its window is rapidly closing.
Rather than providing good evidence for the big bang model, the abundances of the light elements represents a significant problem for the standard cosmology.
Explore stunning evidence consistent with the young-earth model for the earth’s geomagnetic polarity reversal during the Flood and its aftermath.
Baptist theologian Dr. John Gill had an essential grasp on how the creation account is extremely important to Christianity in the 1700s. It still is.
Despite debate about the accuracy of the uranium “clocks” they contain, scientists say they’ve found a zircon with a confirmed age of 4.4 billion years.
