The strategy of using design arguments which are divorced from Scripture was tried once before, in the early 19th century, and it failed to convert people or to overcome the growing skepticism in the once-Christian cultures of Britain and America. In our evangelism we need to present design arguments and the Scriptures at the same time.
Science is both a fabulous body of knowledge and a fantastic method of investigation. However, scientific discoveries are subject to interpretation. Evolutionary interpretation of numerous datasets point to an earth that is millions or even billions of years old. Is this true? Has the universe truly existed for millions or even billions of years? Or is the earth young as the Bible claims?
It is difficult to understand how anyone can believe that the nervous system, particularly the brain, could have been produced by evolutionary randomness and selection. Its complexity, which far surpasses anything produced by man, is nothing short of a miracle.
Another marvelous reflection of creation is the astonishing process of embryonic development, including the way a human being develops in his or her mother’s womb. Evolutionists say that the so-called “gill slits, yolk sac, and tail” are useless evolutionary leftovers (vestiges) that virtually “prove” we evolved from fish, reptiles, and apes. How does a creationist respond? Does this represent the stages of evolution, or is there another explanation?
Gecko feet, bat wings, and horse leg bones are among many structures that defy evolution. Design implies a Designer, and life certainly looks designed!
If your travels take you to breathtaking waterfalls or geological wonders, get equipped to combat the indoctrination of millions of years with truth before you go!
Without millions of years, evolution completely falls apart. Here are just some of many credible evidences from science that support a young earth.
Language is more than just symbols and sounds. It is a gift from God that lies beneath the reality of creation.
Christians who believe in the literal historical existence and fall of Adam should also believe that God created everything in six literal days about 6,000 years ago.
Ten strong evidences for the earth’s relative youth that confirm the Bible from geology, biology, paleontology, oceanography, and even astronomy
Curious about creation but don’t know where to start? Let’s begin with the basics.
If the world’s oceans have been around for three billion years, they should be filled with vastly more salt than the oceans contain today.
The earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that protects living things from solar radiation. Without it, life could not exist.
How presuppositions for and against God's Word directs the creation and evolution debate through facts, evidence, interpretation, and worldview.
The Scopes trial showed it was foolish to teach only creation; is it any wiser to teach only evolution?
Studies have shown that essentially all 180 organs once listed as evolutionary vestiges have significant functions in human beings.
Is it really possible to talk honestly and fairly about scientific evidence of creation?
The apparent redundancy of the genetic code has long been called codon “degeneracy”—evidence that the present genetic code is an evolutionary product.
Surprising evolutionists but not biblical creationists, scientists have discovered an additional layer of information in DNA.
Did you ever wonder how instincts are passed down from mothers to their offspring?
We want to see the wonder of God’s creation through your camera’s lens.
Though the Bible is our foundation for understanding earth history, scientific “evidences” have a place.
Speech is a non-material phenomenon; that is why all evolutionary hypotheses for its origin fail.
A simple experiment will help you to see the secret behind the eggshell’s amazing strength.
A recent study shows that bees can do the same work as computers in determining the shortest path when making multiple stops.
It is often challenging to determine the source of specific similarities and differences between animals, but one thing is clear: there is awe-inspiring beauty and variety apparent in living things.
Mosaics are better understood as wonders in God’s tapestry of creation.
PDF DownloadThe great variety in color, shape, pattern, and scent we observe in flowers is a direct result of the intimate association of the flowers with their animal partner pollinators or cohorts.
Our Creator placed enough discontinuity in just the right places, showing us that no natural process could have generated such a diverse creation.
The popular American TV news program 60 Minutes recently aired a segment about a remarkably preserved dinosaur bone.
Although some plant species rely on wind or water to transfer pollen from one flower to the next, the vast majority of all plant species need the help of animals for pollination.
Language is foundational to more than our communication. It underlies the whole universe.
PDF DownloadBoth bats and dolphins (a type of toothed whale) are known for their abilities to “echolocate,” or use sonar to capture prey.
While some people may talk to their plants, we don’t hear the plants talking back.
It’s tempting to ignore Bible-rejecting scientists or to dismiss their work.
A few creationists are suggesting that “transposable elements” could have been very important in this post-Flood recovery process.
A recently discovered fossil squid is evidence of rapid burial in a watery catastrophe.
An online news report suggests that humans may be primed to believe in creation.
A debate over biblical creation is a lot like a debate over the existence of air. Can you imagine two people debating whether or not air exists?
The discovery of the jagged peaks under Antarctica’s ice surprised scientists.
Evolutionists are having a difficult time deciding which animal came first: the sea sponge, comb jellies, or placozoans.
Scientists are once again reporting how the brain processes religion—or does it simply create it?
If Darwin had interpreted the Galapagos islands from a Biblical perspective, he might have reached a very different conclusion.
PDF DownloadThe word “heavens” in the first verse of Psalm 19 draws our attention immediately upward to the creation of God.
An amazing new human creation is a reminder of one of God’s amazing creations.
Where do cave critters come from?
The recent discovery of rapid changes in a lizard population has offered an excellent test—and an astounding confirmation—of the creation model.
PDF DownloadResearchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Germany have made “overwhelming” discoveries that, according to the researchers, show that worm nervous systems and the human brain are distant cousins.
It’s another case of science turning to God’s design for inspiration: a study published in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics (which focuses on such natural inspiration) describes how engineers may be taking a cue from dolphins in devising improved sonar systems.
The article “From Fins to Wings” is a clever adaptation of the argument of complexity proposed by both biblical creationists and those in the Intelligent Design movement.
Stanford researchers trained rhesus monkeys to reach for different-colored spots at different speeds (red fast, green slow), then analyzed their success at repeatedly reaching for the red at the same speed, and repeatedly reaching for the green at the same speed.
One of the strongest arguments for a young age of the earth is the amount of salt found in the oceans.
All evidence is actually interpreted, and all scientists actually have the same observations—the same data—available to them in principle.
Artist Steve Cardno feels that the beauty and design in creation all around us is a constant testimony to the handiwork of God.
What appeared to be chaos, on closer examination is another layer of more complex order in this universe God created.
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ.
