The Dinosaur Delusion: Part 2
| Answers in Genesis Without biblical history to rely on, evolutionists have created an extremely elaborate narrative that is chock-full of holes once you put all the evidence together.
Transhumanism and the Evolution Connection
| Answers in Genesis Using science to enhance living standards in a fallen world is a practical and biblical concept—after all, Jesus is our “great physician” (Mark 2). It gives us medicines and mechanisms that can help overcome accidents, crime, disease, and disasters. But there are limits.

response-biologos-heresy-part-2/1 page
Repent: Response to BioLogos: House of Heresy, Part 2
| Answers in Genesis If a professing Christian admits that the authors of Scripture were teaching a specific concept but declares that the biblical author was wrong, then that individual is a false teacher. Scripture is ultimately God’s Word, so declaring any part of what Scripture teaches to be wrong is ultimately saying that God is wrong.
BioLogos: House of Heresy & False Teaching
| Answers in Genesis Declaring a professing believer or ministry to be heretical and guilty of false teaching is a serious charge. Understanding the full weight of leveling such an accusation, however, I maintain that the BioLogos organization is guilty as charged.

Understanding Easter
| Answers in Genesis We can know for certain that Jesus, the last Adam, paid the penalty of sin and death brought into the world by the first Adam.
Don’t Be Double-Minded
| Answers in Genesis Genesis 1–11 is the ultimate seedbed of all major Christian doctrines. So, those theologians that offer an inconsistent application of the meaning of Genesis (gap theory, theistic evolution, progressive creation, etc.) have been some of the easiest targets for Christianity’s opponents for quite some time.
The Humble Bee—a Flying Supercomputer!
| Answers in Genesis Comparing bee brains to supercomputers isn’t a stretch, because the “software package” inside their minds contains far more capabilities than most people think about, including their incredible flight capability.
What Gets You Going?
| Answers in Genesis Something that lies within our cells and produces an important molecule found in all life forms which provides the vitality or “fuel” living things need—a powerful substance called ATP.
“How Could All Those Scientists Be Wrong?”
| Answers in Genesis A common refrain from Christians who have accepted secular interpretations in origins science relating to either deep time geology, biology, or cosmology (the supposed evolution of living things over billions of years) is “But how could all of those brilliant scientists possibly be wrong?”

mountain-of-evidence-part-5/1 page
A Mountain of Evidence? (Part 5)
| Answers in Genesis As we’ve seen in Parts 1–4, upon closer examination, the individual pieces of evidence used to prop up the gleaming tower of evolution are actually just rickety supports that collapse under even the slightest weight of scrutiny.
A Mountain of Evidence? (Part 3)
| Answers in Genesis As soon as one gets past the bluff and bluster of the oft-touted “mountain of facts for evolution” and begins examining the individual pieces, the mountain looks much more like a molehill indeed.
Mr. Potato Head and Genetic Inheritance
| Answers in Genesis We see changes in animals (within their kind) because there is an incredible amount of variability inherently built into all the creatures God made. But just like Mr. Potato Head, the number of variants inside is limited.

Marxism: Darwinism Lived Out
| Answers in Genesis Marxism, Communism and socialism violate many of God’s ordained laws and principles for society to operate under and should be rejected by those that hold to scriptural authority.

The Search for Scientific Evidence
| Answers in Genesis From its inception, the scientific proofs offered to support human evolution have been riddled with holes. In fact, many of the earliest proofs were fraudulent, and modern research shows that many proofs were driven by scientific ignorance and evolutionary interpretations rather than solid evidence.
Fueling the Fire of “Scientific” Racism
| Answers in Genesis The demeaning exploitation of people as sideshow freaks helped propagate a much more insidious belief which gained steam became and normalized in Western society—the belief in scientific racism.
Understanding Science
| Answers in Genesis Ask some people you know this question: “What is science?” You’ll likely get all sorts of answers. However, typically, the more scientifically educated the person is, the less certain and dogmatic their answer will be. The average person will likely be far more dogmatic in asserting what they believe that science is.

How can we protect our youth from the wiles of the devil?

Who’s Minding the Children?

The Date Doctors
| Answers in Genesis When you think about the concept of atheism as a whole, a system of belief where practically everything is meaningless because our very existence is thought to have been brought about with no purpose or direction, it is extremely odious, as there cannot be true meaning to anything at all!
If God created everything, why are things so unintelligently designed?
| Answers in Genesis One of the most instinctive and obvious arguments for the existence of God, the master Architect of all things in the universe, is the incredible design we find in nature. And Romans 1:20 reinforces that to a maximum degree by pointing out that it can be clearly seen that there was a designer
Trash Talk: Junk DNA
| Answers in Genesis New scientific studies are showing that so-called junk DNA has an important function—and that’s a problem for evolutionists.
Playing With Personhood
| Answers in Genesis Christians, it is time to stop messing around with ideas like millions of years of supposed evolution and attempting to insert them into the Bible where they don’t belong and where they do great damage to biblical understanding.
Why Evolution’s "Emperor" (Natural Selection) Has No Clothes!
| Answers in Genesis Because natural selection is so equated with the story of evolution, and biblical creationists of course do not hold to the evolutionary story, many people are sometimes surprised when they find out we actually “believe in” natural selection, perhaps thinking we do see the Emperor’s shiny getup.

The Rock of (Long) Ages?

The Bid for "Intellectual Credibility" Among Many Christian Leaders in the West

Astrophotography I
| Answers in Genesis Being a professional astronomer, you might think that astrophotography is something I have done for a long time. However, I took this up only six years ago.
A Prominent Flat-Earther Proves the Earth Is a Globe
| Answers in Genesis Nathan Thompson, a prominent flat-earther that I’ve previously discussed, recently made a video where he claims to have proven a flat earth. Proper analysis of Nathan’s video reveals that it proves exactly the opposite of what he claimed. That is, Nathan’s video ended up proving the earth is a globe.
The Flat-Earth Gospel
| Answers in Genesis To many flat-earthers, believing in the flat earth is either equivalent to, or nearly on the level of, the gospel, and thus they promote it religiously.
Astrophotography II
| Answers in Genesis In an earlier blog, I discussed my experimentation with astrophotography over the past six years. I continue that discussion here with more of my time-lapse videos.

Flat-Earthers and the Coriolis Effect

Eratosthenes Reconsidered
| Answers in Genesis At the time of Eratosthenes, it was already generally known in the West that the earth is a globe. Eratosthenes built on that knowledge to measure the earth’s circumference and hence its radius.
The Scientific Method and the Flat Earth II
| Answers in Genesis With its emphasis on experimentation, flat-earthers use their definition of the scientific method to exclude from science an observational approach to testing ideas, which leads them to conclude that astronomy is not a science. This approach excludes any astronomical evidences when discussing the earth’s shape.

Most flat-earthers don’t appear to be anti-Semitic, so I had been willing to overlook it. So, what changed my mind to take up this topic up now?
