Scientists now believe that all life on Earth sprang from one being...But, they still believe that it was an amoeba. It takes far more faith to believe that 530+millions of years ago that the small amount of slime crawled out of the ocean to form into all of these species. How can anyone believe that tripe? It takes far more faith to believe that, especially in light of these questions.... 1. Where did this planet come from if the universe began with a "Big Bang"? 2. How could there have been a "Big Bang" to start everything if there was NOTHING? Is this REAL science? 3. Why is it so hard to admit that their "beliefs" are nothing more than a series of f…

Once again scientists are trying to prove that the Bible isn't telling us the truth concerning our human lineage stating that they've proven that the Biblical account of creation is false and that we came from a form of one-celled organic pond scum. It wasn't until the early 1900s that these theories made their way into the mainstream conscience of Americans and the world. Remember the Scopes Monkey Trial in Tennessee? It's an interesting read, to some degree, but wholly incorrect. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/study-confirms-humans-share-one-common-ancestor-and-it-s-not-adam/ss-AA1oMTvU?ocid=chromentpnews&pc=U526&cvid=721d805784e74596ec9a8…

The 7 days of Genesis & 7,000 years old earth view (Ps. 90:4, II Pet. 3:8)), have you heard this? A full Download here of all historical citations - http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=88323982112145612890 For instance (summary): In Matthew 13, Jesus gives several related parables, about the work of a laborer, sowing in the field and then reaping. According to Holy scripture, the workweek is six days long, with one of rest at the end (Exodus 20:8-11; &c). Therein, the ‘field’ is identified with the “world”, and the sowing of the gospel seed for those six days. The harvest is the end, but notice in St. Matthew 13:3…

Genesis 1:28 KJV: And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. I have been asked by a Ruckmanite about this verse. I know that my father and i went round and round about this verse and the one word "replenish" in particular. If the "Gap Theory" isn't correct, then what is the resoning behind this particular word being used in the English (KJVO) translation?

I am coming across more and more Christians who believe the Earth is anywhere from 20K to 250 billion years old. What Biblical basis would they possibly have for such beliefs? I could possibly understand the 20K range, but longer? It's highly debatable. I don't understand where they could get such a notion. Any reasonable explanations in your minds?

Here is the equation for determining the age of an object. Lu-Hf isochrons plotted of meteorite samples. The age is calculated from the slope of the isochron (line) and the original composition from the intercept of the isochron with the y-axis. The mathematical expression that relates radioactive decay to geologic time is D* = D0 + N(t) (eλt − 1) where t is age of the sample, D* is number of atoms of the radiogenic daughter isotope in the sample, D0 is number of atoms of the daughter isotope in the original or initial composition, N(t) is number of atoms of the parent isotope in the sample at time t (the present), given by N(t) = N0e−λt, and λ is…

We Christians, don’t believe in the Big Bang theory, but when God the creator, created the heaven and earth, was there a big bang going on here, or was it all done in silence.

This is a true story from my area... Recently, a group of college students from a nearby university volunteered to "help" at a nearby elementary school. Unbeknownst to the school's administration, the college students spent their time preaching evolution to the children. They even had an "altar call" when it was over...asking that if they (the elementary children) believed what they had just heard, to just raise their hands. Apparently all but one child was "saved" ... In other words, all but one child raised their hands to acknowledge that they believed in evolution. I'm not sure at this point what (if any) repercussions will…

As a scientist and researcher, and as a missionary for fifty some years... I have to tell you from ebing in maybesix or seven evolution/creation forums or supposed discussion boards, that evolution is unscientific and has no basis in biology, genetics, chemistry, math or physics... Evolution is totally bogus and a forced religion. This is why it is forced and not allowed to be questioned and why evolutionists have no idea what they believe nor why. They have no proofs, and no evidence. They say they do, but cant produce it when challenged. Whereas creationism is scientific and is based on laws and cycles and adaptations, instincts, balance, harmony...all given…

HOW OLD IS THE EARTH? By Bill Sizemore February 20, 2009 NewsWithViews.com Many Christians are under the impression that if you believe the Bible, then you must believe that the earth is 6,000 years old. But is this so? Christians come to the 6,000 year conclusion, not based on something the Bible says about the age of the earth, but by tracking the biblical genealogies from Jesus back to Adam, which add up to about 4,000 years, and then adding in the 2,000 years from Christ until now. From a biblical perspective, this approach tells us approximately how long man has been around, but as we shall see, it does not necessarily tell us how long the earth has be…

On Subjects such as Evolution, Many Americans Are Aware of -- but Reject -- the Scientific Consensus by David Masci, Senior Research Fellow, Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life August 27, 2007 The relationship between faith and science in the United States seems, at least on the surface, to be paradoxical. Surveys repeatedly show that most Americans respect science and the benefits it brings to society, such as new technologies and medical treatments. And yet, religious convictions limit many Americans' willingness to accept controversial scientific theories as well as certain types of scientific research, such as the potential use of embryonic stem cells for medi…

The Ordinances of Heaven Job 38:33, “Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? An ordinance is an established law or rule. Astronomer and mathematician, Johannes Kepler 1571-1630, verified that the sun and the planets are governed by scientific laws, or ordinances. Johannes Kepler was a devout Christian. Kepler believed that God created the universe as the Bible says He did. Psalm 119: 90 & 91, “Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth. They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.” All of the ordinances of the physical universe were estab…

This is interesting - @DaveW, have you heard about this? In September 2018, a 20-strong team of palaeontologists and volunteers gathered near Karoola homestead in Central West Queensland to rescue a slew of dinosaur footprints (figure 1).1,2,3Over 20 days, they excavated endangered tracks from a dry creek bed and moved them some 100 km to the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum near Winton, founded by Executive Chairman, David Elliott. Australian vertebrate palaeontologist Dr Stephen Poropat of Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne is leading the research work. The tracks were first exposed 20 years before when floods altered the course of the creek. Al…

I was thinking about something that bothered my last night. Some of you may have heard about how the Bombadeer beetle, or other creatures with unique characteristics that refute evolutionary process, for example the long neck of the giraffe: It is my understanding that the giraffe has two different organs in it's neck, 1 to keep blood in the brain, and another to keep blood from flowing into the brain, these two organs must both be present in order for the giraffe not to die when raising and lowering it's head. therefore the 2 organs and the neck of the giraffe must "evolve" at the same time. I have often heard this used to debunk darwinian evolution. 1. where did the m…

For a Christian, the phrase, "What came first, the chicken or the egg?" is a simple answer: the chicken of course! Genesis 1:21 - "And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good." For an evolutionist, the answer is .... complicated. I saw this video on youtube and thought they did a good job describing how a chick can breathe inside it's egg. The entire process of a chick forming is very intricate, but looking at just the shell of the egg and how it was created to protect the forming chick inside as well as provid…

One of the problems of not accepting a literal interpretation of Genesis is that, Genesis being so foundational for so much of what we believe, we can easily go astray on vital matters. 3 examples will suffice: 1. Edmund Gosse was born to a Christian couple in 1849. His mother went to be with Christ when he was still a boy. His Father raised him in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord" and he made a strong profession of faith in Christ. However, he had serious problems accepting Genesis and, eventually, went right away from the Lord. 2. Charles Templeton was a preacher alongside Billy Graham in the 1940s. However, he started to doubt Genesis and this…

I was having a discussion with a new friend a few weeks ago and the subject of Theistic Evolutionism came up. Apparently, she believed in it, but I didn't know that. She asked me if I thought that it was possible for God to have used Evolutionism to bring about things. I told her, "Not the God of the Bible." She asked me why I said that and I replied, "Because Evolutionism has a long string of deaths bringing man into existence, but the Bible says that one man brought death into existence. (Romans 5:12, 15, 17, 1 Corinthians 15:21). I didn't make a presentation out of it; I said it in about 30 seconds or so. I wasn't expecting the affect it would have. She jus…

I heard this over thirty years ago on a late night AM radio station. (Genesis 1:1) "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth." The very first verse of the King James Bible contains a trinity of trinities consisting of time, space and matter. "In the beginning" = Time (Past Present Future) "God created the heaven" = Space (Length Width Height) "and the Earth" = Matter (Solid Liquid Gas) I just love things like this.

Someone shared this video on facebook and I thought it was interesting. I had not heard of the Caddisfly before, but apparently fly fishermen have! What I found interesting is that the Caddisfly larvae have the ability to build themselves a protective covering, binding it together with a sticky silk they produce. In the video they call it "evolution". However, when I looked these critters up on wikipedia, they've been found in fossil records that date back over '250 million years ago', with nary a change. My thought is, why did the Caddisfly larvae 'evolve' the ability to secrete sticky silk to bind together debris for protection, rather than 'evolve' a shell like a sna…
