Creation MiraclesBacteria Help Prepare Earth For LifeBy Hugh Ross Sulfate-reducing bacteria are among the oldest life forms on Earth. They are dominant in the geologic record from 3.9 to 2.9 billion years ago, an era in which oxygen concentrations in Earth’s atmosphere were relatively low. Researchers discovered not long ago that sulfate-reducing bacteria play a critical role in Earth’s sulfur and carbon cycles, both of which are essential for life.1 More recent studies reveal bacteria’s additional contribution to life sustenance. Closing the Gap: A Scientist’s Response to the Gap Theory1/1/2001 Reviewed by John Rea The work of an apologist in some ways parallels the work of a scientist. Both seek to “prove” (as in “establish by testing”) the truth of their explanation for something and, thus, to defend their idea against challenges. CREATING CREATIONISM: MEANINGS AND USAGE SINCE THE AGE OF AGASSIZ, PART 14/1/1995 Despite a few helpful attempts to trace the development of vocabulary in the public discourse about Darwinism, no one has yet looked closely at the deployment of the terms "creationism" and "creationist" in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. CREATING CREATIONISM: MEANINGS AND USAGE SINCE THE AGE OF AGASSIZ, PART 24/1/1995 To compound the confusion about special creation [Was it a recent, six-day phenomenon, an ancient day-age phenomenon, or a dual phenomenon with a gap between "the beginning" and Eden?], its most vocal scientific proponents disagreed markedly over the number of supernatural interventions required. CREATING CREATIONISM: MEANINGS AND USAGE SINCE THE AGE OF AGASSIZ, PART 34/1/1995 Such efforts (as "flood geologist" Dudley Joseph Whitney's) to co-opt the creationist label did not go uncontested for long, in part because evangelical scientists who did not subscribe to flood geology could ill afford to have their constituencies view them as non-creationists. Four Views of the Biblical Creation Account8/8/2000 The following information comes from the "Report of the Creation Study Committee" posted on PCANEWS.COM, the Web Magazine of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), dated July 6, 2000. The 92-page document, presented to the 28th General Assembly of the PCA, results from the committee’s two-year study of Genesis 1-3 and of the meaning of "day" in that creation account. 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. President's Laptop- April 2001Dear Friends, Perhaps you have come across (or heard about) the claim that I am a “danger” to evangelical Christianity, that I am part of the great deception of 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12. I prefer to be known as a danger to deceivers. Response to Genesis and the Big Bangby Hugh Ross and Miguel Endara A book authored by Gerald SchroederIn 1990 Bantam Books published a 212 page book entitled Genesis and the Big Bang: The Discovery of Harmony Between Modern Science and the Bible. The author, Gerald L. Schroeder holds a Ph.D. in applied physics from MIT. Genesis and the Big Bang has received considerable attention from the Christian community since Pat Robertson began interviewing Schroeder on his television program. Ten Major Differences Between Calendar-Day and Day-Age Creationists1/23/2001 cdc = Calendar-Day Creationists Ten Major Similarities Between Calendar-Day and Day-Age Creationists1/23/2001 Ten Major Similarities Between Calendar-Day and Day-Age Creationists Timely Appearance of Land Life Benefits HumansBy Hugh Ross Two more pieces of evidence strengthen the case for the early appearance of land life. The significance of such findings is two-fold. First, it demonstrates the accuracy of the Genesis 1 record, which says that God created land life early, very early, in the creation week. Second, it demonstrates God’s planning and provision for the needs of advanced life, especially of humans in the development of their civilization. Unnecessary Apologetic BaggageI travel frequently for work and pleasure. Whether loading up the minivan for a vacation or packing bags to fly to a speaking event, I work hard to avoid carrying unnecessary baggage. Creation MiraclesCreation Miracles |
