Creation.com’s Shaun Doyle has made the argument that the Mosaic covenant actually prevented science from developing. Yes. You read that correctly. He commits this theological overreach in his zeal to force the Bible In an article entitled Aliens and the Bible: Should we leave room for the possibility of sentient aliens?, Doyle lays out his…

The UFO Deception: How Answers in Genesis & Other Creationist Organizations Are Getting Aliens Wrong
Why it’s important not to confuse the UFO/alien abduction deception with the ultimate question of whether extraterrestrials exist
Evolution versus Christianity: Why You Really Do Have to Choose
I once said God could have used evolution and that we had to allow for long ages in the days of the Creation Week. The following excerpt from my book, Defending Genesis: How We Got Here & Why It Maters, explains my dilemma at that point and why we really do have to choose between the authority of God’s Word and the claims of men who’ve interpreted the evidence by science chained to pure naturalism, despite claims to the contrary by Michael Zimmerman and BioLogos.
Pastor Blasts Biblical Inerrancy. I Demonstrate Why This Is A Bad Idea
On June 24, 2010, Associated Baptist Press reported on a sermon delivered on the same day by Dr. Wm. Richard Kremer to Garden Lakes Baptist Church in Rome, GA, entitled, Is the Bible Inerrant? Dr. Kremer’s sermon begins with the following claim, which I find utterly baseless for reasons I shall relate afterwards: “Few words in the…
God Rested: How the Sabbath Day Destroys a Critic’s Argument Against Young Earth Creationism
Recently, a fellow named David Evarts posted a rather subversive comment on the Defending Genesis Facebook page, hoping to attract Biblical Young Earth Creationists over to what he sees as a more reasonable point of view. He began with the following statement: “Christians and other theists are, by definition Creationists. As such, the debate isn’t…
Is the Resurrection a Legendary or Mythical Element Added to the Real History of Christ?
One of the more common objections to the resurrection of Christ is that we have no contemporary records of His life, so that legendary elements were added to the historical facts over time. This is ridiculous double standard and easily refuted by taking a look at the actual evidence. Sir Frederick Kenyon notes that: “In…
Why Animals, Humanity and the Rest of Creation Suffers for Adam’s Sin
In a post called “A theological argument against young earth creationism,” J W Wartick has argued that Biblical (young earth) Creationism is “morally impermissible.” His reasoning? Because animals died because of Adam’s sin, not because of anything they themselves did. If you’re reading that from an orthodox Christian worldview, something about his argument should be…
Defending Christ’s Resurrection
Many people flat-out object to the idea that Jesus actually rose from the dead. Of those who admit that He historically existed and that he physically died, they propose various theories for the belief that Jesus rose from the grave. The four basic arguments against the Resurrection are the Grave Robber Lie, the Wrong Tomb…
Defending Christ’s Death
It seems strange to me to have to defend the historicity of the death of Christ, but there are actually folks out there who make the claim that Jesus never died. This particular claim comes in two forms, which I dub the Swoon Lie and the Muslim Lie, respectively. The Swoon Lie, made popular by…
Defending Christ’s Existence
There are some who say that Jesus Christ never lived or, at the very least, we can’t prove that He really ever lived. But of course He did, as we will demonstrate. I call this one the Skeptic’s Lie. A true Skeptic believes that we really cannot know anything for sure. One is tempted to…
Causality: Biblical Creationism, Why Kids Quit Church & The Smeller’s The Feller Argument
It’s becoming more and more common for those who to accuse Young Earth Creationists of causing people, particularly younger generations of falling away from the faith. I call it the “Smeller’s the Feller” [STF] argument. Basically, Biblical Creationists have pointed out that something stinks, that our people are leaving the Church just as they abandoned…
Where Does the Bible Teach Millions of Years?
Old Earth Creationists often object to the idea that the observation that they are imposing millions of years upon a Bible which does not teach anything of the sort. But where in the Bible do you find any mention of the Earth being millions of years old? Nowhere. The Bible does not say this. Most…
