The "Little Extra" of Believing the Word of God
Over at the interesting, and often thought-provoking, non-Calvinist blog “Diglot” (anonmyously authored), I found the following statement: I think that today’s Christianity in large part has fused the basics of the Christian gospel message together with many peripheral beliefs. When you become a Christian in today’s Western culture, you are not merely “accepting Christ” but…

Radioactive Dating – a Problem
One of the assumptions behind the use of radioactive dating is the idea that the rate of decay of radioactive elements is essentially constant over long periods of time. There are a number of problems with this assumption. One of the problems is identified in the linked article (link to article). As identified in the…

Mitochondrial Eve
One of the problems for Evolutionism is the discovery of mitochondrial DNA. This DNA is passed down maternally. In an article published recently, “scientists” indicated that using various assumptions they have calculated mitochondrial Eve (the female ancestor of all living humans) as having lived about 200,000 years ago (link to article). That number is probably…

>Morphology vs. Genetics vs. Evolution
>Peter Pike made an interesting argument in the comment box of my previous post (link to post). The argument runs along these lines: 1) Evolutionism claims that common descent can be demonstrated via clading, where clading is broadly defined as grouping individuals in a family tree based on genetic similarity. 2) Clading is great for…

>Synthesizing Light and Darkness
>Christopher Benson has a new post called, “The Future of the Science and Religion Debate.” (link to post – not recommended) Benson argues that, “Christians can achieve a “synthetic middle ground” in the debate if they get a better handle on the vocations of science and religion and a more robust doctrine of creation.” But…

In the Beginning …
God created the heavens and the earth. It’s the first doctrine of Scripture. It’s one of the first doctrines of the so-called Apostles’ Creed. God’s title of “Creator” is found in both Old and New Testaments. Adam is in Christ’s line and Adam’s very real sin is central to the need for Christ’s incarnation. That…

The Proof Evolutionists Have Been Waiting For
This sea slug is (according to journalists, a huge qualification) part animal and part plant (link). Thus, the slug defies conventional clades. It does not fit into the evolutionary tree. Will any atheists accept this evidence and discard evolution? Probably not. Most will simply try to build a new tree and assume that one can…

Evidence for Recent Fossilization
That’s how I’d characterize the linked article, that describes alleged findings of dinosaur proteins, an unlikely event if the sample were really 65 Million years old (link). Caveat: Scientists dispute findings all the time. I wouldn’t be surprised to see folks try to challenge these findings as well. -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!

Another Broken Link in the Darwinian Chain
There has been much hubub about a supposed missing link that has been allegedly located in the form of what appears simply to be a lemur monkey skeleton. Less attention has been given to a serious problem for evolutionists: a newly discovered species of mega-shrew (link). Why is this mega-shrew a problem? It has a…

More Evidence of Creation and Providence
There is no lack of evidence that God created and rules all things. In this case, the evidence is a marvellously designed fish, which has a transparent dome on the top of its head, and tube-like eyes that can rotate up to look through the dome to look for prey above the fish (link). I…
