Many do not realise that index fossils are still crucial to the millions-of-years geological dating, in spite of the advent of radioactive 'dating' techniques.
‘Instant petrified wood’—so ran the heading to the announcement in Popular Science, October 1992.
A popular myth is that radioactive dating methods confirm the geologic time-scale and the concept of human evolution.
Diamonds have been highly prized throughout history, being regarded as symbols of wealth and power.
A fossil truly ‘in-between’ the crucial fish and amphibian characters is not only hard to conceive, but has never been found.
For as long as anyone can remember Mt Wingen has been burning, with an acrid smell of sulphur in the fumes issuing from cracks along its summit.
We can be satisfied that there are reasonable explanations, consistent with Scripture, for the seeming lack of human fossils in Flood rocks.
Sydney has its beautiful harbour and famous bridge, its Opera House and golden beaches, but it also has some unique and characteristic rock formations.
Creationists are often ridiculed for pointing to gaps in the fossil record. It is alleged, the finding of a ‘transitional form’ means that one can now argue two gaps in the fossile record.
A century ago, a shock went through the scientific community when a whaling crew reported finding fossil wood on the Antarctic Peninsula.
However, Pennock frequently ridicules the Bible and is generally contemptuous when referring to creationists.
Since the jovian planets have only recently been formed, they do not need nuclear processes to keep them hot for non-existent evolutionary aeons.
Evolutionary astronomers have great trouble accounting for the origin of the moon. There have generally been three competing hypotheses, but they all have serious physical problems.
It would be great if we could know the actual three-dimensional distribution of the fossils in the earth. This would go a long way towards understanding their deposition during the Flood.
The physical features which distinguish 'primitive' from modern man can be accounted for by non-evolutionary explanations.
Dembski reviews many of the earlier ideas and adds new thoughts relevant to the evolution vs. creation debate.
Argument for an impact bombardment event surrounding the Flood that began with the onset of the Flood and continued for some time, trailing off into the post-Flood period.
Any scientific understanding of the Biblical Flood must address the hydrology and sedimentation that occurred during the Flood and in subsequent years as the Earth settled down.
Commonly, apologists for evolution put up a bold front and try to deny that the tree of evolution is full of holes (or, more accurately, is mostly holes with just twigs at the end). It is therefore instructive whenever an article appears that is written by evolutionists who candidly acknowledged the major discontinuities in (alleged) evolutionary sequences.
Throughout Church history, a popular argument for the existence of God has been based on the appearance of designed structures in nature.
Fifty studies on teaching origins found about 90% of the public desired that both creation and evolution or creation only be taught in the public schools.
A century ago, Lord Kelvin calculated an upper limit for the age of the Earth.
In the Preface, Dawkins declares that his intention in this book is to make science more appealing to a young generation which prefers the beauty of art.
According to the ‘big bang’ theory for the origin of the universe, equal amounts of matter and antimatter should have formed. Antimatter is the same as matter except that each has the opposite charge.
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ.
