now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)What is the Biblical Evidence for Long Days in Genesis? (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. Norman Geisler)
There are many indications within the text of Scripture to support the belief that the creation "days" were longer than twenty-four hours. The authors offer five examples.

July, 2007
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)How Long Were the Days of Genesis 1-2? (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. Norman Geisler)
There are two major view with regard to the time involved in Creation: the old-earth view and the young-earth view. The latter believes the universe is no more than approximately 15,000 years old, while the former holds that it is probably about 13.7 billion years old.

July, 2007
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Was There Death Before Adam? (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. Norman Geisler)
Those who hold to the young earth position deny that there could have been death before Adam's fall. They argue that the Bible declares death came only after Adam as a result of his sin. "Just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned."(Rom.5:12)

September, 2005
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Where Did Everything Come From? (Dr. John Ankerberg)
Dr. Ankerberg explores, primarily through quotes from scientists and theologians, the failures of the Darwinian evolutionary model, and the marvelous wonders of creation.

March, 2005
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Current Debate on Creation and Evolution (Dr. Norman Geisler)
What is the difference between "old-earth creationists" and "theistic evolutionists"? What are the areas of agreement between young- and old-earth creationist? Where do they differ? What do both sides need to agree upon?

February, 2005
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Anthropic Principle (Dr. Norman Geisler)
The anthropic principle (Greek: anthropos, “human being”) states that the universe was fitted from the very first moment of its existence for the emergence of life in general and human life in particular. In order for life to be present today an incredibly restrictive set of demands must have been present in the early universe—and they were.

August, 2004
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)What is the Biblical Evidence for Long Days in Genesis? (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. Norman Geisler)
There are many indications within the text of Scripture to support the belief that the creation days were longer than twenty four hours.

July, 2004
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Differing View of the “Days” of Genesis (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. Norman Geisler)
There are two major views with regard to the time involved in Creation: six literal 24-hour days, or six long periods of time. This article presents arguments for the 24-hour-day position with response from Scripture and science.

June, 2004
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)“Young Earth” vs. “Old Earth”—Where Do They Agree? (Dr. John Ankerberg
There are actually a number of areas of agreement between those who disagree on the age of the earth. But there are other areas where they ought to agree—but that are still a problem. Dr. Ankerberg explains.

by Fazale (Fuz) Rana, Ph.D. (Vice President of Science Apologetics), Richard Deem, MS (Apologist), Hugh Ross, Ph.D. (President, Reasons To Believe, Pasadena, CA, 91117) - Article courtesy Reasons to Believe: www.reasons.org ©Reasons To Believe

now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Design and the Anthropic Principle
by Hugh Ross, Ph.D.

Summary : Human existence is possible because the constants of physics and the parameters for the universe and for planet Earth lie within certain highly restricted ranges. John Wheeler and others interpret these amazing "coincidences" as proof that human existence somehow determines the design of the universe. Drawing an illogical parallel with delayed-choice experiments in quantum mechanics, they say that observations by humans influence the design of the universe, not only now, but back to the beginning. Such versions of what is called the "anthropic principle" reflect current philosophical and religious leanings towards the deification of man. They produce no evidence to support the notion that man's present acts can influence past events. Furthermore, their analogies with quantum mechanics break down on this point. The "coincidental" values of the constants of physics and the parameters of the universe point, rather, to a designer who transcends the dimensions and limits of the physical universe. - Article courtesy Reasons to Believe: www.reasons.org ©Reasons To Believe

now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Does Scientific Evidence Today Show That God Created the Heavens and the Earth? And What Does the Bible Say About When He Created?
By Dr. John Ankerberg

February, 2004
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Six False Assumptions Concerning Evolution—Part 2 (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
Does the fossil record offer genuine scientific evidence that evolution is true? Can matter alone (without God) explain the origin of life and the complexity of the universe? Is scientific creationism only a religion, with no scientific merit?

February, 2004
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Six False Assumptions Concerning Evolution—Part 1 (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
What one concludes about human origins is crucial for deciding a whole range of other issues. In light of that, the authors explore three of the false assumptions that are often brought into the discussion: That evolution is a proven fact of science; that scientists are always objective; and that evolution is compatible with belief in God.

January, 2004
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Evolution, Logic and Increasing Doubts (Dr. John Ankerberg and Dr. John Weldon)
Evolutionists tell us that the evidence for evolution can be found in numerable scientific disciplines. Ankerberg and Weldon say the real problem isn’t so much a lack of data—there’s plenty of it—the real problem, they suggest, is the bias against the biblical God that so many scientists bring in to their interpretation of the data.

January, 2004
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)What is the Probability of Evolution Occurring Solely by Natural Means? (Dr. John Ankerberg and Dr. John Weldon)
Most modern scientists agree that the materialistic theory of evolution is an established fact of science and cannot logically be questioned as a view of origins. However, what one concludes about human origins has a bearing on a whole range of other issues, so it’s important to get it right!

January, 2004
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Evolution of Life, Probability Considerations and Common Sense (Dr. John Ankerberg and Dr. John Weldon)
The purpose of this article is to bring home the folly of belief in naturalistic evolution. The point is belabored intentionally because evolutionists frequently argue that probability considerations do not disprove evolution.

January, 2004
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Darwin’s Leap of Faith (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
Most people consider evolution to be an indisputable fact, but if that is true, how do we account for the statements by reputable scientists calling it a “myth” a “fairy tale” or admitting the evidence simply isn’t there?

January, 2004
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Darwin, Evolution and His Critics—Part 1: How Convinced Was Charles Darwin About His Theory of Evolution? (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
Darwin himself expressed serious doubts about his theory, as we see expressed in letters to friends and colleagues.

January, 2004
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Darwin, Evolution and His Critics—Part 2: Darwin’s Escape from God—Why Did Darwin Continue to Believe in Evolution? (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
Sadly, Darwin continued to hold to his theory despite his many doubts. Dr. Robert Clark (and others) suggest that Darwin’s motivation to hold on to his ideas was his continued rejection of the God of the Bible.

January, 2004
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Darwin, Evolution and His Critics—Part 3: How Was Darwin’s Theory of Evolution First Received? (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
In fact, even the scientific community of his own day did not accept Darwin’s theory as either valid or possible.

January, 2004
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Truth in Advertising: Damaging the Cause of Science (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
Scientists who declare that evolution is a fact should recognize the damage they do to the credibility of science—and not just evolutionary science, but all of science.

October, 2003
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Discovery of the Sin Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah—Part 2 (Dr. Bryant G. Wood)
Further archaeological evidence that indicates the location of Sodom and Gomorrah, and which fits beautifully with the biblical account about them.

October, 2003
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Creation Debate: How Do Coal Beds Form? (Dr. John Ankerberg with Dr. Steve Austin)
Dr. Austin relates how he came to reject the conventional model of how coal beds formed—and how events at Mt. St. Helens confirmed his alternate theory.

September, 2003
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Discovery of the Sin Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, Part 1 (Dr. Bryant G. Wood)
We welcome new author Dr. Bryant G. Wood of the Associates for Bible Research. This fascinating article reveals the search for the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the amazing correlation between the on site evidence and the Biblical account of their destruction.

Dr. Austin explains some of the observations he made at Mt. St. Helens following the 1980 eruption, and why they caused him to rethink his position on the evolutionary model...

August, 2003
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Creation Debate: Geological Evidence for the Age of the Earth—Part 2 (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. Steve Austin)
Dr. Austin relates why his observations at Mt. St. Helens caused him to rethink some of his assumptions about the age of the earth..

August, 2003

What evidence caused geologist Steve Austin to doubt the generally accepted dates for the age of the earth?

July, 2003

What theories have been put forth to explain the origin of the universe? What are some of the problems scientists have encountered with those theories?

July, 2003
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Problems with Human Cloning (T. M. Moore)
Most people aren’t quite sure what to make of the prospect of “engineering” human beings, although they are a little troubled by the thought. Writing from a biblical and Christian viewpoint, T. M. Moore points out three problems associated with the human cloning project

June, 2003
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Creation Debate: The Origin of the Universe—Part 3 (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. Don DeYoung, Dr. Duane Gish, Dr. Kurt Wise)
Oscillating universe? Second law of Thermodynamics? Moon rocks? Fission Theory? Capture Theory? Are any of these proof of, or pointers, to the Big Bang?

June, 2003
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Creation Debate: The Origin of the Universe—Part 2 (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. Don DeYoung, Dr. Duane Gish, Dr. Kurt Wise)
Is the Big Bang theory credible? Is there scientific data that sheds doubt on that theory as the origin of the universe? Dr. Ankerberg’s guests for this discussion have Ph.D’s in physics, biochemistry and paleontology.

May, 2003
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Creation Debate: The Origin of the Universe—Part One (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. Don DeYoung)
Dr. Don DeYoung (Ph.D. in Physics) explains the Big Bang Theory, and why it is not a reasonable explanation for the universe as it exists.

Dr. Ankerberg's guests explain that one reason why the lab experiments that "created" life were not valid is that they were done in a controlled environment that lacked oxygen—a condition that is not "normal" true on most of the planet.

Is it possible to create life in the laboratory? Some years ago an experiment conducted by Stanley Miller was reported as having produced the components necessary to form DNA thus, theoretically, “proving” it was possible to produce life. Dr. Gish explains why that conclusion was wrong.

October, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Creation Debate: Part One—DNA and the Origin of Life (Dr. John Ankerberg with Dr. Duane Gish)
Dr. Gish explains why the complex structure of DNA indicates that the probability of the spontaneous generation of life is, as Francis Crick put it, “equal to the probability that a tornado sweeping through a junkyard would assemble a Boeing 747.”

September, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Evolution and Recent History: Darwin, Evolution and His Critics—Part Eight (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
Darwin gathered and systematized a good deal of data, but he proved nothing. He no more proved evolution by amassing facts than scientists of an earlier era proved the world was flat by amassing facts. Facts are facts, but they can be interpreted quite differently depending upon presuppositions and other considerations.

September, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Evolution and Recent History: Darwin, Evolution and His Critics—Part Seven (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
Many people assume that upon publication of Darwin’s The Origin of Species that its weight of argument was so convincing, belief in his theory was compelled from all quarters. Not so. In fact, most scientists initially rejected it.

August, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Evolution and Recent History: Darwin, Evolution and His Critics—Part Six (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
W. R. Bird, author of The Origin of Species Revisited suggests that Darwin tended to “jump to conclusions without adequate evidence”, and “stubbornly maintaining his theories regardless of the arguments and evidence against them”. Ankerberg and Weldon give examples to back up this charge.

August, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Evolution and Recent History: Darwin, Evolution and His Critics—Part Five (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
Robert Clark, author of Darwin: Before and After, says that “Darwin was determined to escape from design and a personal God at all costs.” What affect did that have on his reasoning processes? On his science?

July, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Evolution and Recent History: Darwin, Evolution and His Critics—Part Four (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
People believe in evolution for a variety of reasons. One reason is so they can reject the Christian faith. Darwin himself lost his faith, and the repercussions in his life were quite profound.

July, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Evolution and Recent History: Darwin, Evolution and His Critics—Part Three (Dr. John Ankerberg and Dr. John Weldon)
Darwin, and indeed, followers of his Theory today must go to extreme lengths to overcome some of the difficulties raised by the Theory of Evolution. But their efforts are absolutely necessary. The authors explain why they must make evolution work.

June, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)Evolution and Recent History: Darwin, Evolution and His Critics—Part Two (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
How convinced was Darwin about his theory of evolution? The authors say that he frequently expressed doubt about the feasibility of the theory, in one place stating: “Some of them [the difficulties] are so grave that to this day I can never reflect on them without being staggered.” So why would he continue to hold to the theory? Why do many scientists today ignore the evidence against it?

How convinced was Charles Darwin about his theory of evolution? Did it gain immediate acceptance within the scientific community? What changed?

May, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Evolution of Life, Probability Considerations and Common Sense—Part Eight (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
In the end, a creator God is our only logically possible explanation for origins. The authors list four options to be considered for the origin of the universe, then point out that only one—that it was created by something self-existent—does not contradict the laws of logic.

May, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Evolution of Life, Probability Considerations and Common Sense—Part Seven (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
Modern science’s assigning the origin of the universe and all life in it to pure, random chance does an incalculable disservice to science because it “reduces scientific investigation not only to chaos but to sheer absurdity.” The authors suggest that modern science’s sin against reason is, in fact, a sin against God.

April, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Evolution of Life, Probability Considerations and Common Sense—Part Six (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
What are the odds that televisions will evolve into elephants? There are none—no matter how much time we allow or the event to occur. But this is essentially what evolutionists ask us to believe—dead matter + time + chance = life.

The odds that you would win the lottery every week of your life, consecutively, from the day you were born, without missing even one winning weekly ticket, for 80 years, is infinitely more likely than the odds in favor of evolution as the origin of life.

February, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)The Evolution of Life, Probability Considerations and Common Sense—Part Two (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
According to Dr. David Rodabaugh, even giving evolution every conceivable chance and even “assuming that evolution is 00.0000% certain, then evolution has only a 1 in 10123 chance of being valid.” The authors give examples to show how extremely miniscule this chance is.

There is an overwhelming lack of evidence for life originating from non-life on this planet, but what about on other planets? If scientists can find such evidence on Mars, what will that do to bolster the theory of evolution?

January, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)What is the Probability of Evolution Occurring Solely by Natural Means?—Part Two (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)
A 1962 scientific symposium was held in part because of “a pretty widespread sense of dissatisfaction about what has come to be thought of as the accepted evolutionary theory…the so-called neo-Darwinian Theory….” Drs. Ankerberg and Weldon suggest that one of the hurdles evolutionary scientists must overcome is the overwhelming odds against evolution.

December, 2002
now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) now_view.jpg (1863 bytes)What is the Probability of Evolution Occurring Solely by Natural Means?—Part Two (Dr. John Ankerberg, Dr. John Weldon)

now_view.jpg (1863 bytes) Biblical Evidences for an Immediate Creation Event (Dr. David Fouts and Dr. Kurt Wise)
A debate rages among creationists at to whether the "days" of creation were 24-hour days, or long periods of time. At issue as well is whether the earth is "young"—a few thousand years, or "old"—perhaps millions of years. Using language a layman can understand, these two scientist lay out evidence that suggests that Creation was instantaneous rather than an extended event.
