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 used to admire Kent Hovind. A great deal of his work on Creation vs Evolution is very sound and helpful. However, his integrity was called into question, for me, when he was sent to prison. When he was released, he immediately and obsessively began the process of re-starting his Dinosaur Adventure Land. By watching his daily videos, more and more of his quirkiness in conspiracy theories were becoming apparent. His wife divorced him, he remarried a divorced woman (claiming God told him to) and has recommended others do the same. He obsesses about his court case and Dinosaur Adventure Land and he openly and unapologetically antagonizes and ridicules atheists …

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Scientists are now breathing life into the concept of chimeras by creating organisms containing the cells of humans and animals. Several teams in the US are inserting human tissue into early pig and sheep embryos. The journal MIT Technology Review estimates that 20 such hybrid embryos have been produced, an early proof-of-principle step towards growing human organs inside animal tissue. The hybrid embryos have been observed in early development but, crucially, are never brought to term. The Salk Institute in California, together with the universities of Stanford and Minnesota, are among the institutions pioneering the as-yet-unpublished research. http://www.ft.com/intl/c…

My phone just showed me this site: http://religionnews.com/2016/06/11/why-some-evangelicals-changed-their-minds-about-evolution/ A group going to churches to promote the idea that science and the Bible are not mutually exclusive, but only because the Bible doesn't mean what it says. I agree that the Bible and science are not mutually exclusive but that is because the more you study science, the more you find that it fits with the Bible actually says.

What a Creator we have! I got this in my email this morning. God's diversity in creation is amazing. The article has pictures that show some of what the Mimic can do. http://creation.com/mimic-octopus "In 1998 a fantastic creature was discovered off the coast of the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia. The Mimic Octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) is the first living thing ever observed to imitate the shape, colour, texture, posture and behaviour of several other animal species. It performs multiple impersonations as it crosses the ocean floor."

A whale fossil was discovered on a mountain in California on September 4... The fact that a whale fossil was found on a mountain isn't necessarily the focus of the article; they focus on HOW it got there. The article opens by explaining how it got there, and it closes by (once again) explaining how it got there. Link to article --> Evolutionary article that spins one whale of a tale! This makes much more sense to me and is a better explanation... Genesis 7:20 Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail; and the mountains were covered.

Hi all! This topic isn't so much about arguing the merits of evolution versus creationism, but rather for me, an outsider (as a "believer" in evolution), to understand what it is exactly members of this forum believe about the theory of evolution. I appreciate any input and here are a list of suggested content to be discussed: what do you think evolution is? Why do you reject evolution? What do you think a theory is? What led you to be interested in this topic? Why do you think evolutionary theory is popular in biology? Can you define a "kind"? To what extent can a creature evolve if you believe it's possible? Why is there an extent to which a creature can evolve? And, o…

I stopped watching after he rambled something about men on the moon and aliens. Maybe he wants aliens to wear masks? Nah, they'll just come through Mexico with $100 worth of stuff from the hardware store to get over the wall. lol -

Two years ago I was at a conference and Pastor Wilkerson of First Baptist church in Hammond, IN was there and to make a long story short we ended up talking and praying together for about 20 minutes. Fast forward to last month where our paths crossed again. He mentioned hello preacher, didn't I pray with you under the tent a couple years ago. How's your church Highpoint in Connecticut doing? Here I can't even remember what I had for breakfast or my kids names, but Pastor Wilkerson who pastors a very large church remembers almost every detail about our conversation. Why can't I do that? lol -

"But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully; Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust." 1Tim 1:8-11 -
