Geology and the BibleBig Bacteria Help Resolve Big Creation/Evolution DebatesBy Hugh Ross For most jobs the size of the applicant does not matter. But, there are exceptions: basketball centers must be tall, offensive tackles in professional football must be heavy, and World War II submarine sailors had to be both short and lean. In biology size did not become a significant factor until the Cambrian explosion some 542 million years ago. At this event most of today’s main groups of animals, or animal phyla, suddenly appeared. Climatology Reveals Creation Clues10/1/2001 By day, climatologist Kevin Birdwell seeks answers to mysteries of human history via climatological records. By night, he uses that research to enhance his teaching at a Christian college. Continental Landmass Growth and the Genesis 1 Chronology10/8/2007 Thanks to a spectacular new discovery concerning the geophysical history of the earth, one more detail in biblical author Moses’ chronology of Earth’s creation history has been scientifically verified. The breakthrough yields yet more evidence for the divine inspiration of the Bible’s words and message. First, let me offer some personal background for this discovery. Deep Core Tests for the Age of the Earth7/1/2005 The clash between young-earth and old-earth creationists can seem bewilderingly technical at times. Is there any easy-to-understand scientific data for determining whether Earth is young or old? In recent months, new evidence has emerged that may be simple enough for everyone to understand, regardless of science background-as simple as counting tree rings. Earth Day 2009 - Earth Day ChallengeThe call to care for our environment actually dates back much earlier. In the Garden of Eden God commanded the first human couple, and by implication the entire human race, to wisely manage the resources of the whole planet for the benefit of all humanity and of all life. Thus, environmentalism is a biblical mandate. God’s people, most of all, should be concerned about taking excellent care of the natural world. Exploring the Extent of the Flood: Part One1/1/2009 In my years of speaking and writing on science-faith issues, I've discovered only one topic that stirs more heated debate than the age of the universe or the days of creation, and that's the Flood of Noah's lifetime. Often this event is called the Genesis Flood, and yet multiple biblical passages, in addition to the initial narrative (Genesis 6-9), shed light on what occurred and why. Global Warming3/1/2007 Global warming is real. But its causes–therefore its solutions–are more complex than most people seem to realize. We tend to think Earth’s climate will always be optimal for human civilization if we just take good care of it. But nothing could be farther from the truth. When we put emotion and politics aside and take a rational look at our planet’s history, we see a different picture. Noah’s Flood: A Bird’s-Eye View7/1/2002 Ms. Johnson smiles and settles her class for the week’s lesson. She opens the Bible on her lap and begins to read the story of Noah's flood. Her first-graders sit cross-legged on the floor, wiggling a little but listening quietly. Ode to Oxygen4/1/2007 My seventh-grade science teacher asked the class to list “the three most essential needs of human life.” The “correct” answer—water, food, and sleep—illustrates how easily people take for granted the air we breathe, specifically its oxygen content. Most humans can live a few days without water, food, and sleep, and yet we can’t go more than a few minutes without oxygen. I understood that much in junior high, but at the time I had no idea that Earth’s oxygen-rich atmosphere represents—and facilitates—a miracle. Subduction Designby Hugh Ross Stanford University geophysicist Norman Sleep has outlined some new constraints on habitable planets.1 He explains how the possible existence of advanced life crucially depends upon a planet maintaining efficient plate tectonics for billions of years The Usefulness of Carbon 14RTB's correspondence team is asked repeatedly to explain methods for dating the age of the universe and earth. The most frequent question has to do with the reliability of carbon 14 dating. Geology and the BibleGeology and the Bible |
