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 […]

??So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.? Many of us grew up hearing this story at a Sunday school class or on our parent?s laps. Is this a quaint story; a fable with a religious message, […]
Think for a minute back to the first century.? What do you think the typical gospel sermon was like? Do you think the early evangelists principally made an appeal to the emotions of their hearers?? Were they a diatribe against the pagan religion of the day?? The book of Acts is the most reliable source […]
A REMARKABLE COLLECTION In this article we will investigate some of the most often-asked questions about the Bible. Where did it come from? Who decided what was going to be on the official list of accepted writings? How do we know if the Bible we read today is a reliable version of the original writings? […]
Simon Greenleaf, a Harvard Law Professor wrote: "All that Christianity asks of men?is, that they would be consistent with themselves, that they would treat its evidences as they treat the evidence of other things; and that they would try and judge its actors and witnesses, as they deal with their fellow men, when testifying to […]
by S. Alan Corlew The Use Of Aristotle’s Law Of Non-Contradiction To Defend Christianity The ways in which the Law of Non-Contradiction might be used to defend the Christian faith, are numerous. If one were to take an approach like that used by Francis Schaeffer in exposing the inadequacy of the presuppositions generally held by […]
Purpose:? To help those who are either skeptical or lack sufficient faith to move past some point in their Bible study. ? John 5:39,40?? Question:? What is Jesus claiming here???? He is claiming that the Old ?Testament, written hundreds of years before he was born, was written ?about him!? Imagine the implications of this claim. […]
Let us consider the ultimate miracle?the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Now, wait a minute.? Did Jesus do this miracle?? Did he raise himself from the dead, or did the Father raise his son from the dead?? We will let the theologians work out this question because it really does not matter who […]
What evidence did Jesus point to in order to support the claims he made about himself? The answer is that Jesus backed up his claims about himself by pointing to the miracles he worked. ?Don?t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to […]
We will begin with a scenario.? Imagine for a moment that you are having an informal conversation with a close friend you have known for some time.? Your friend?s name is Bill.? In the course of the conversation, Bill tells you that he has the ability to raise people from the dead.? How would you […]
During his ministry in Palestine, Jesus was often challenged on the issue of authority. Many, especially the religious authorities, would demand of Jesus to know on what authority he based his teachings. In general, he would let the evidence of the miracles speak for themselves, but on one occasion Jesus replied to his hearers concerning […]
