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?
The popular American TV news program 60 Minutes recently aired a segment about a remarkably preserved dinosaur bone.
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.
A recently discovered fossil squid is evidence of rapid burial in a watery catastrophe.
A few creationists are suggesting that “transposable elements” could have been very important in this post-Flood recovery process.
It’s tempting to ignore Bible-rejecting scientists or to dismiss their work.
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.
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ.
