    Wild claims about only SDAs being young Earth Creationists in the 1800's and early 1900's.

    for context: From Science and Faith - Young-Earth Creationism "The Bible clearly teaches the young-earth creationist view of Genesis 1–11. That was the almost universal belief of the church for 1800 years. Progressive Creationism and Theistic Evolutionism in all their various forms (day-age...

    John Walton's Lost World of Adam and Eve

    In case anyone missed it, a lecture by John Walton on Adam and Eve. The video covers topics such as "who did Cain marry?" And "was Eve made of Adam's rib bone?".

    Creationist Site Flubs Speed of Light

    It seems that creationists are shaky on even the simplest and most well known points of science. Recently, I ran across a creationist site that thought they'd found a way to dethrone the speed of light as a constant of the universe. They cite phys.org but don’t link to any particular article, so...

    Why Creation Science is Bogus

    There is a strong movement to teach creation science in the schools. The name “creation science” is attached to a number of organizations and websites. Does creation science have a sensible basis? Can an idea that came out of religion be turned into a science? Not really. You don’t have to...

    Discord for Christian creationist.

    We are a community for creationist to discuss and conversate among each other all things relating to creation, its relevant science, and empirical evidences of God. Where we differ from most apologetic / philosophy servers is we have a strong focus on the evidential arguments and aspects, which...

    How do Creationists Explain Black Shale?

    Creationists have often told me that all sedimentary rock was formed during the Flood. That is one reason they see no reason for rock formation taking place slowly over millions of years. Sedimentary rock certainly isn’t rare, it accounts for 70% of the Earth’s crust. If forty days and nights...

    The Origins of Young Earth Creationism

    Here is a video explaining the origins of Young Earth Creationists. It is also being discussed at Biologos and Peaceful Science. Perhaps the biggest surprise is that modern day YEC can be traced back to not the early church fathers but to 19th century Seventh Day Adventist (SDA) founder Ellen...

    More atheist discoveries.

    Recent article by William Lane Craig suggests the historical Adam lived more than 750,000 years ago

    WLC embraces both sacred myth and some current scientific understandings to locate the historical Adam. Given the recent archaeological findings, Adam and Eve may plausibly be identified as belonging to the last common ancestor of Homo sapiens and Neanderthals, usually denominated Homo...

    Did God create aliens?

    We know that there are angels and animals as well as humans. But do you believe and can you demonstrate that God created aliens in his enormous act of creation. If the universe is magnificent desolation except for earth, why all that wasted space and effort? Are we meant to fill it ourselves?

    Do Creationists Believe in Talking Snakes?

    In Genesis 3, a serpent, or snake, talks with Eve. In Genesis 3:14-15, God says that the serpent will lose its legs. God doesn’t say that the serpent will no longer be able to talk or no longer have the intelligence to talk. We know there are no talking snakes today. Snakes do not have the vocal...

    The Earth is not 6,000 years old.

    I'll be posting lines of evidence against a young earth. The first I don't think anyone has noticed before, the long lived Greenland Shark. It reaches maturity at a staggering 150 years of age and has a gestation period of at least 8 years. If more than 38 generations existed, the Earth could...

    Poe's Law?

    I just came across this today. I'm so curious! "Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere by...

    Creationism revisited

    All Christians are Creationists in the sense that they believe that God created the universe. "We believe in One God, Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things seen and unseen" as the Nicene Creed declares. There is a considerable amount of mystery in the biblical accounts as...

    EVOLUTION-X (a helpful mnemonic?)

    Dear friends, I wanted to share with you a video which has helped me to remember a common sense response to Darwinian Evolution, in the form of a mnemonic: EVOLUTION-X It has certainly been very useful for me, especially when suddenly thrown into a discussion of Creationism v Evolution and I...

    Creationism Losing Ground in Education

    Creationism Losing Ground in Education In 2019 the National Centre for Science Education (NCSE) commissioned a survey of US public high school biology teachers. The survey duplicated a similar survey conducted in 2007 and was designed to assess shifts in the teaching of evolution, in US...

    News: Fewer educators teach creation in the classroom

    According to new article by Ann Reid of the NCSE “...the proportion of US secondary-school biology teachers who present creationism as a scientifically valid alternative to evolution fell from 32% in 2007 to 18% in 2019” (E. Plutzer et al. Evo. Edu. Outreach 13, 14; 2020). I am curious what...

    History of viruses is a proof of creationism

    The history of viruses is actually a proof of the biblical account taken literally as there has been a gradual development of bad viruses from a situation where there were far less of them. In fact the really deadly viruses have not always been with us but are mutations on earlier less dangerous...

    A Young Earth Friendly Old Earth Creationism

    Hi all! A decade ago I was a hard core Young Earth Creationist (YEC). I taught it with zeal at youth group services, evangelism classes, and apologetics seminars. I thought that the main two views of Genesis 1 were the Biblical view (literal), and the non-Biblical view (non-literal)...
