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 […]
I was wondering how to refute the teachings of the Jehovah Witnesses? I have a sister who is very involved in this religion and I don’t know how to reach her without her getting defensive. I want to be able to help her be discerning when it comes to committing herself to something so life […]
What about the people who speak with the dead spirits. Is it true? Are there really people who can heal thru the spirits? What about that people who can predict the future? My wife’s grandmother was able to cure with the help of the spirit of some dead scientists, e.g. Robert Hook, and we know […]
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 […]
Where did God come from? You ask what is really more a question for the philosopher. This is a question which philosophers have pondered from the time belief in God or even in “gods” has existed. In other words, you ask a question which has been asked since there were people. Let me give the […]
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 […]
The Qur’an (or Koran), which actually mentions Jesus Christ far more than it does Mohammed, teaches the Virgin Birth of Christ, as well as his Second Coming, but not his crucifixion. (Muslim apologists call it ‘the crucifiction.’) They consider Jesus to have been one of the greatest prophets of all time, though Mohammed, according to […]
I have heard that the Quran has been changed and corrected a few times. Could you please shed more light on this? i.e. where? when? by whom? Although I have read the entire Quran, as well as a number of books on Islam, I do not feel I am an expert on this subject. Yes, […]
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 […]
Miracle of Science or Perspective of the observer; Did the sun stand still? God is a God of order, yet he performs miracles outside of the natural laws that govern our world. From a scientific perspective, even a miracle would not allow the sun to suddenly simply stop in the sky. That would mean that […]
I have been a Christian for three years and a half, so I believe in the Bible. And I WANT to believe in the Bible. Couldn’t I change the truth to please myself and to justify my faith? How can I be sure that I am following the right way? I have read some apologetic […]
“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 […]
I understand that Thomas went as far as India, but I am not so sure whether he is the one who wrote ?The Gospel of Thomas.? Should this book be in the Bible? Indeed, tradition is strong that the apostle Thomas established the church in India sometime in the ?40s. Although I started out skeptical […]
I recently read of books called ‘Q’ and the Gospel of Thomas. Interesting reading! I was wondering what you thought of them and their authenticity. Why are they not included in the Bible? Actually, much of “Q”-the hypothetical source of material common to Matthew and Luke-is in the New Testament. Let me recommend you read […]
Rather than aim to demonstrate the error of other religions, denominations, or sects, Christians are called to proclaim the truth and let their light shine. The positive focus will draw others to Christ much more than a negative demonstration of the ignorance and lostness of those who do not know God. Still, there is an […]
If so, was it a world-wide flood, or just a local phenomenon in Mesopotamia? Is there any evidence for the flood happening? This question has certainly brought about a lot of debate over the years. Many have scoffed at the “myth” of the flood in the time of Noah. The principle reason for intellectuals to […]
This question is answered in detail in an article at this web site, The Miracles of Jesus. Let us give a synapsis. The reason for belief in the miracles of Jesus can be separated into two categories, which are; 1. The reliability of the gospel witnesses. 2. The testimony of non-Christian authors. The first point […]
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 […]
Question: What about other religions? Are they true ways to know God? How can I know? Answer: In the end, those who seek after the truth will have to answer this question for themselves, because for each individual, what he or she really means by the question will be different. Many people, of course, say […]
Abstract: Many major fields of science were founded by Bible-believing Christians. A number of these are listed and discussed. Newton, Faraday, Kelvin, and Maxwell, who are among the greatest physicists in history, were all Bible-believing Christians. Many of the major fields of science were founded by Christians. This information was taken from the book Men […]

We live in an age of incredible technological growth. I can remember when my school system brought me the first small computer that I had ever seen. It was a Commodore and the only language that it knew was BASIC. I learned the language and wrote my own programs for my students because there was […]
And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, "Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest […]
Summary Many scientists and others have regarded Christianity as an absurd belief system, or at best as a "religious," and by that they mean non-rational, faith. Why? Often it is because the hook on which Christianity is based, the Bible, has been said to date the origin of the universe at 4004 B.C., or some […]
As most of us are aware, many in today?s rationalistic/materialistic world would claim that the creation account in Genesis is simply a myth.? What is our response to this claim?? Many who believe that the creation account is a myth are professed Christians.? What is the effect on a supposed believer who assumes that the […]
A large number of books have been written in the past ten years to summarize this surprising feature of our universe; namely, that the universal constants have to be "just so" to have a universe suitable for life. A partial list includes The Anthropic Cosmological Principle by Barrow and Tipler (1986), Universes by John Leslie […]
INTRODUCTION On more than one occasion, evolutionary scientists, while diligently struggling to banish God from His own Universe, have inadvertently accomplished exactly the opposite, and in so doing, have come face-to-face with evidence so powerful, and so astonishing, that it enshrines Him all the more as Creator. However, rather than simply admitting that their findings […]

The existence of God is a subject that has occupied schools of philosophy and theology for thousands of years. Most of the time, these debates have revolved around all kinds of assumptions and definitions. Philosophers will spend a lifetime arguing about the meaning of a word and never really get there. One is reminded of […]

From its inception Darwinism posed a challenge to Christian theology. Darwinism threatened to undo the Church’s understanding of creation, and therewith her understanding of the origin of human life. Nor did the challenge of Darwinism stop here. With human beings the result of a brutal, competitive process that systematically rooted out the weak and favored […]

The Case of the Missing Mechanism The growing crisis in Darwinian theory is becoming more apparent all the time. The work of creationists and other non-Darwinians is growing and finding a more receptive ear than ever before. In this discussion I want to elaborate on what I believe are the five critical areas where Darwinism […]
Australopithecines A recent issue of Time magazine (14 March 1994) displayed a picture of Homo erectus on the cover with the title, "How Man Began: Fossil bones from the dawn of humanity are rewriting the story of evolution." The question of human origins fascinates us! Many people are intrigued by the possibility of descending from […]
Neo-Darwinism Under Attack One of the most significant questions in the origins debate concerns the nature of biological change. Can organisms change into an infinite array of creatures? Or are there genetically imposed limits to the amount of change which can take place? There are two major theories of evolutionary change: neo-Darwinism and punctuated equilibrium. […]
Another Big Bang? The impish Calvin, from the now defunct daily comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes," once offered to rename the Big Bang Hypothesis, "The Horrendous Space Kablooie!" Most of us have heard at some point of cosmology’s preferred explanation for the origin of the universe, the Big Bang Hypothesis. The Big Bang of cosmology […]
Understanding Archaeology Christianity is a historical faith based on actual events recorded in the Bible. Archaeology has therefore played a key role in biblical studies and Christian apologetics in several ways. First, archaeology has confirmed the historical accuracy of the Bible. It has verified many ancient sites, civilizations, and biblical characters whose existence was questioned […]

Our knowledge of the ancient past is normally obtained through written sources which have been copied and passed down over the years.? The accuracy of these written accounts is verified by making? comparisons with other written documents from a similar time period.? Further confirmation of historical events can be obtained through physical evidence uncovered by […]
No question related to science and the Bible has generated more controversy and even outright animosity between creationists and atheists than the question of evolution and the related question of the origin of man. Atheists have staked out the claim that evolution is on such a solid foundation that it is no longer a theory, […]
The Bible in Genesis chapters six through eight describes a great flood of apparently worldwide scope. Did this flood actually happen? Is the story just a myth, or perhaps less argumentatively, is it just a parable about the nature of man? These questions will be considered in this chapter. It might be a good idea […]
How did the human race originate? This question is obviously very closely related to the question of evolution. This was the real issue behind the Scopes monkey trial. Did man evolve from apes? Or is humanity a special creation of God? It has already been shown that life was created. Editor?s note:? that is in […]
Science is certainly not one of the main themes in the Bible. However, the Bible does contain information and claims of a scientific nature. Careful analysis of the parts of the Bible which relate to things scientists talk about will provide dramatic evidence that the Creator of the universe has revealed himself in this great […]
"Don’t all roads lead to God?" "Does it really matter which religion you follow, as long as you believe in a higher being?" "Aren’t all religions basically the same, anyway?" These are questions that many people are asking today. It’s hard to see the real difference between one religion and another, and it’s even harder […]
