TCM - SpeciationBacteria's Long Reign4/1/2002 Why do stars twinkle? Why does God sometimes seem silent? Some “why” questions are more elusive than others. Biology’s Big Bangs12/13/2007 Explosive Innovations Point to a Creator’s Role in Life’s History Cambrian Flash1/1/2000 From two independent teams of paleontologists working in Yunnan, China, comes powerful support for the creation model and, at the same time comes further serious challenge to the naturalistic model for the origin of animals. 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. Creation vs. Evolution: Why a Model Is Essential8/25/2008 The public debate about teaching intelligent design has exposed widespread confusion both inside and outside the church about how the scientific enterprise operates. One of the most frequent complaints scientists make about the Intelligent Design movement is that their brand of intelligent design is not testable, falsifiable, or predictive. Evolution as Mythology, Part 1 (of 5): The Theory of Evolution is a Myth5/5/2008 The creation-evolution debate is usually framed as science v. religion: verifiable fact v. faith. But we contend that it takes at least as much faith to believe in the theory of evolution as in creation by a supernatural God. And in reality, evolution has more characteristics of a “myth” than of a scientific theory. Evolution as Mythology, Part 2 (of 5): Evolution is not a Scientific Theory5/12/2008 A previous article noted how the theory of evolution evinces characteristics of a myth. This article will consider how it measures up to the definition of “science.” Evolution as Mythology, Part 3 (of 5): The Myth of Abiogenesis5/19/2008 The last two articles have discussed how the theory of evolution has characteristics of a myth (which cannot be proven or disproven by the technology of the culture), and lacks characteristics of a scientific theory (which is testable and falsifiable). Evolution as Mythology, Part 4 (of 5): The Myth of Macroevolution5/19/2008 The last article discussed the mythlike characteristics of abiogenesis, a key component of the theory of evolution, that says living organisms appeared spontaneously from nonliving matter. This article discusses evolution itself, which is separated into two categories. Evolution as Mythology, Part 5 (of 5): Conclusion5/19/2008 The four previous articles in this series have shown that the theory of evolution is more like a creation myth than a scientific theory. A myth may be true or false, but its principle characteristic is that it validates the thinking, practices, and ideals of a culture. Evolution explains our existence within the framework of our modern culture of naturalism, which has no need for a god. Evolution Loses Its Direction1/24/2008 Fossil evidence reveals that evolutionary change is seldom directional Evolution Loses Its Equilibrium1/31/2008 Punctuated equilibrium doesn’t have a viable mechanism Extinct Shell Fish Speaks Today4/1/2001 A recent study of Isoxys (marine crustacean) fossils from the Maotianshan Shale of China provides important new evidence for creation. The study reveals that a complex and expansive ecology existed in the period known as the Cambrian Explosion, the time when advanced multicellular animals suddenly appeared on Earth.1 Marine Body Sizes Add Weight to Creation Model1/1/2001 Evolution predicts change over time, not stasis; so researchers continue to search for an organism that shows significant evolutionary change. A recent analysis of marine creatures, however, revealed the unexpected: not the shift in body sizes predicted by evolutionary theory, but rather, an optimal body size unchanged for millions of years. Mutations Exceed Expectations4/1/1999 Ironically, modern "advances" could serve to hasten humanity's demise. For the first time, geneticists have measured the proportion of harmful mutations arising in one generation of advanced species. The numbers are staggering. Photosynthesis Is Not Enough9/22/2008 After the first appearance of life on Earth, the Great Oxygenation Event marked the biggest chemical transformation of the planet. This event occurred approximately 2.4 billion years ago. The oxygen content of Earth’s atmosphere rose from just one thousandth of a percent (10-5) of its present level (about 21 percent of the total volume of the atmosphere) to several percent of its present level. Summary of Reasons To Believe's Testable Creation Model2/7/2000 One reason we evangelicals have had so little impact on secular society with our creation teachings is that we try to teach Genesis without presenting a testable creation model. We either focus all of our guns on what is wrong with naturalism or we duck the issue by claiming that Genesis presents no specific creation model. Thus, we are perceived by society as either negative or cowardly. Whale Ankles- No Support for Neodarwinism4/1/2000 Proponents of gradualism often trot out so-called “transitional” whale fossils as evidence supporting their view.1, 2 In my book, The Genesis Question, I explain why no other animal has a higher risk of rapid extinction and a lower chance of natural advancement than the whale.3 TCM - SpeciationEarth DayAuthor: Jeff Zweerink, Dave Rogstad, Kenneth Samples, and Joe Aguirre Earth Extinctions Blamed on Cosmic Speed BumpAuthor: Dr. Jeff Zweerink Just-Right Timing of Oxygen on Early EarthJeff Zweerink, Hugh Ross, Kenneth Samples, and Joe Aguirre Time, Space, and EternityFuz Rana, Jeff Zweerink, and Kenneth Samples TCM - Speciation |
