I just read the article by Professor Geisler about early monotheism and had a few questions. I’m guessing that the author is assuming that Adam and Eve were the first ‘homo sapiens’ , and that the levant civilizations, particularly that of the ancient ‘habiru’ was the very first. I have read that the Chinese and […]
CREATIONISM By C. Foster Stanback Creationism is a term that has frequently been misunderstood by its opponents. In its most general sense the term means a worldview which attributes the existence of the earth, the cosmos, and life to a divine Creator. Yet within this broader sense there are a number of […]
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities?his eternal power and divine nature?have been clearly seen being understand from what has been made? Romans 1:20 10 Could This All Be Just a Coincidence? Note to self: include a section on deism Mr. Flew and the tendency of scientists to move in this […]
1. Cro-Magnon lived up to 100,000 and Neanderthal up to 300,000 years ago. What was the most recent dates for those species and when were they extinct? What year was Homo-Sapien on the scene – 45,000 years ago? Cain was the first agricultural farmer as far as evidence in the Bible, were the Homo-Sapiens the […]
As I was reading Genesis, I came across a scripture that I don’t quite understand. In Genesis 1:3, “God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light… there was evening and morning the first day” However, the sun was not created until the fourth day, right? In Genesis 1: 14 “Let there be lights […]
I receive the “Does God Exist?” periodical. I am one to agree with the notion that the Bible does not say that the earth/universe is 6,000 years old. It seems to me that many arrive at that conclusion based on the time dating back to Adam. By taking the age that the Bible says Adam […]
Had a thought while reading, “Is there a God?” – you list ‘Elementsessential for life’ as carbon and H20. I’m interesting in your thoughtsabout adding oxygen to the list. First its ability as an aerial solvent(to help create/sustain an atmosphere – and seems as strong an argument as H20 in the solvent arena?) & essential […]
In Genesis 2:7b What does it mean when it says “and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life”? is the “breath of life” referring to oxygen or the spirit/soul? I would say that, when in doubt, we should let the obvious meaning stand. Genesis seems to be saying that God made the inanimate Adam […]
I would just like to ask one or two questions. I can easily accept what it says about Genesis and the interpretation of the word ‘day’. What puzzles me is the age of the human race. How do you address the inconsistency relating to the age of man? If Adam & Eve were the first […]
In the opening chapters of Genesis, the Bible says that Cain was afraid of others who might take vengeance upon him. Where did these people come from??? They could not have been his brothers for there is hardly enough time for procreation to have resulted in a population large enough for Cain to be concerned […]
Astronomical Evidences for the God of the Bible by Hugh Ross, Ph.D. Dr. Hugh Ross earned a BS in physics from the University of British Columbia and an MS and PhD in astronomy from the University of Toronto. For several years he continued his research on quasars and galaxies as a post-doctoral fellow at the […]
Note: I do not know the author of this excellent article. It was found at http:/ /mywebpages.comcast.net/mkent595/Originoflife.html Origin Of Life (and irreducible complexity) notes Origin of Life – 1 "Any theory with a probability of being correct that is larger than one part in 1040,000 must be judged superior to […]
The Origin of Biological Information and the Higher Taxonomic Categories By: Stephen C. Meyer Proceedings of the Biological Society of Washington September 29, 2004 On August 4th, 2004 an extensive review essay by Dr. Stephen C.

A Closer Look at the Laws of Thermodynamics In chapter four of this book, the application of the laws of thermodynamics to the question of the origin of life was introduced. There are some more subtle and technical questions which could arise concerning the use of thermodynamics to investigate whether life could have originated spontaneously. […]
Did Life Just Happen? What about the life that exists on the earth? How can one explain the origin of hundreds of thousands of species of plants, as well as insects, reptiles, birds, mammals, and most complex of all, humans? To the Christian, although all this life is a thing of beauty and wonder, the […]
Molecular Machines: Experimental Support for the Design Inference by Michael J. Behe A Series of Eyes How do we see? In the 19th century the anatomy of the eye was known in great detail and the sophisticated mechanisms it employs to deliver an accurate picture of the outside world astounded everyone who was familiar with […]
THE MIRACLE OF CREATION In this book, we will principally consider the miracles performed by Jesus Christ during his approximately three year ministry on the earth. We will ask questions about the evidence that these miracles actually happened. We will make the effort to consider what is implied on a physical, scientific level […]
How Old is the Earth? How old is the earth? That is a good question. Although I could provide my best estimate based on the scientific evidence, I can honestly say I do not know. One thing which can be said with confidence (as will be shown in this chapter) is that the earth appears […]
EVIDENCE FOR DESIGN IN NATURE The wonders of nature shout out to all those willing to hear that there is a wonderful and powerful creator of it all. Anyone willing to take the time to look and to listen can see evidence for God all around them. Anyone, that is, who is willing […]

Of all the questions I have received at this web site, this is the first one I am going to have to say I do not know the answer. You ask a very good question which is very difficult to know how to answer. Because you ask the question, I assume you already see the […]
We do not know when the flood happened, but presumably it was at least several thousand years ago. I can only assume that human beings evolved the different “racial” characteristics over the past several thousand years. In a gene pool with a fairly broad genetic diversity, the physical characteristics which lead to the greatest survival […]
I have been studying many of your articles. They make one think. Therefore questions come up. In reading Genesis it appears that the earth was formed before God said “Let there be light.” Genesis 1:3 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over […]
I have encountered a “theology” on creation (Gen 1:1 and Gen 1:2) that the Bible gives us a hint where Dinosaurs thrived here on earth. Yes, science claims that they really lived millions of years ago. A “teacher” taught that in between these verses, there is a very long time span. Verse 1 states that […]
1) The natural amino acids are L and D, and in proteins are only L. So in any hypothetical primordial soup, surely there would have been an equal proportion of both. The problem for the materialist is to answer how did the first proteins become just L amino acids (since racemic proteins can’t exist). If […]
I have already answered a couple of very similar question. Let me make a single statement and refer you to the questions and answers provided below. When God created the universe, he also created time. God exists outside of time, and therefore the question “What did God do before he created the universe?” does not […]
This is one of those unanswerable questions. I myself struggled over this question at earlier points in my life. Philosophers have certainly struggled with this question as well. Although I cannot give a totally satisfactory answer to your question, God himself provided a hint of an answer in Exodus 3:13,14. When Moses asked God what […]
Was the Holy Spirit already in existence during the Old Testament or only after the New Testament? What was Holy Spirit doing in the beginning? The Holy Spirit, being God, existed before the creation of the world. He was not created, but has always existed, just like the Father and the Son. As proof of […]
Some argue that Noah’s flood was only local. What’s your view on this? In my experience, those who have proposed a local flood have done so in order to provide some sort of reasonable natural explanation of the flood, making it more easily acceptable to skeptics of the Bible flood story. The problem with these […]
I have heard that the word ‘made’ in Genesis, actually means appointed in Hebrew not made (to make). Does this means that God could have created, appointed, Adam from an already upright walking species and formed it with dust into what we now know as Humans? My Hebrew dictionary defines the word asa as to […]
I know that the God of the Bible is all-knowing but doesn’t it seem that in Genesis 2 God made Adam and did not know that Adam wouldn’t find a companion? Why didn’t he make them at the same time if he know that no other animal would compare to Adam? God did know that […]
Why did God create the other planets(Mars, Mercury, etc.)? Also, if stars are meant to give us “light” what about other stellar phenomena such as nebulae and black holes? In the final analysis I cannot speak for God about why he did what he did. However there seems to be a perfectly natural explanation for […]
Where did Cain’s wife come from in Genesis 4? This is a fairly common question. I have only seen only one reasonable explanation which does not require bending the biblical text. That is to assume that Adam and Eve had a great number of children and that Cain married one of them. Clearly if there […]
If Adam and Eve were created first, who did their children marry? If one is to take the account in Genesis chapter one and two at face value, then one must assume that Adam and Eve’s children did indeed marry one another. Some have speculated that at this point in the history of humanity, there […]
Mammoths have been unearthed and were found to have died from freezing while their last meal was warm weather food (namely flowers); does this support the Hydroplate theory This is apparently a fact. I am not sure I can answer how it happened. Perhaps some catastrophic event caused this. Perhaps even a catastrophic event of […]
I read the Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 accounts and they seem contradictory. I began the Adam and Eve at Genesis 2:7 and was not able to completely eliminate discrepincies. My major confusion is that in Genesis 2 it seems that the order of the creation of man and the creation of animals is reversed. […]
The sun and the moon were created by the end of the first day. What you see in Genesis 1:14-16 is that now, for the first time, the sun and the moon became visible from the earth’s surface. In the early history of the earth, there was a very thick atmosphere containing substances such as […]
“Where are the dinosaurs mentioned in the Bible? How would you answer this question, and what scriptures convey the truth about the matter?” The fact is, nowhere in the Bible are dinosaurs mentioned! Nor are quasars, black holes, blue-green algae or DNA. The Bible is a book focused on humans and our relationship with God. […]
I have a question that I am finding hard to come to grips with though. From the fossil record, as you put it, we see ape, ape ape, man, man. Now Cro Magnon man is considered by anthropologists to be biologically speaking, as human as we are. You didn’t actually mention in your book how […]
This is a very good question, and it brings up one of the most important issues one faces in dealing with question relating to the Bible and to faith. The fact is that we will almost certainly never find a “smoking gun” sort of proof that Adam and Eve were actual historical people. It is […]
This is probably the most controversial question which relates to science and the Bible. In fact, many Bible believers have divided along the lines of this controversy. In addressing this question, one would do well to remember the words of Paul in 2 Timothy 2:23,24; “Don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments, […]
Science says the earth is old, but the Bible says the earth is young. Which is correct, and how can I know? The first statement is correct, while the second statement is a question of interpretation. In other words, scientific evidence, from any of at least a dozen independent methods of calculation leads to the […]
