Ice sheets don’t form just one layer per year. And in the past, after Noah’s flood, layers formed very quickly.

The ice cores need to be interpreted, and our starting point determines how we interpret the evidence.

The ice age, which came after the flood, provided the perfect conditions for mankind to spread around the Earth.

There was only one ice age, and it came after the global flood. As the fountains of the great deep burst open, underwater volcanoes warmed the oceans.

The idea of an icy world inhabited by mammoths and saber-toothed tigers fascinates people. But where does this fit into biblical history?

Zonkeys are the offspring of zebras and donkeys, ligers come from lions and tigers, and wholphins come from false killer whales and dolphins.

DNA is an information system with all the instructions on how to make you. So where did this information come from?

There was more than enough vegetation before the flood to produce all the coal we have today.

The Bible provides the true age for coal. Most deposits were initially formed during the year-long, catastrophic global flood just thousands of years ago.

Many think it took millions of years of slow processes to produce coal. But when scientists copy these natural processes in a lab, it only takes a few months!

Plants were designed as a food source in a perfect world. So, God didn’t make them to live or die like animals.

When you start with the Bible, the law of biogenesis makes sense. There was never a time when life had to come from non-life because life is from the Creator.

Many think it doesn’t matter what you believe about Genesis as long as you believe in Jesus. But it does matter because the gospel message begins in Genesis!

Many Christians believe in evolution and just add God in. But this view misrepresents who God is.

Many people claim that the Earth can’t be just thousands of years old like the Bible teaches, because carbon-fourteen dating gives such old ages.

The Bible’s account of the flood explains what we see in the world around us—millions of years doesn’t! The evidence confirms God’s Word—beginning in Genesis.

Around the world we find fossil graveyards. These are massive deposits of billions of fossils buried together.

According to secular geologists, the layers of coal we find around the world were laid down over millions of years. But there are big problems with this idea.

Many think it took millions of years to get the billions of fossils we have today. But the fossil record shows evidence of having been laid down very quickly.

Evolutionary teaching has indoctrinated us to think it takes millions of years to make a fossil—but it doesn’t! It just takes the right conditions.

The only way to combat false teaching is by knowing the truth! We need to study the Word of God so we can recognize false teaching when we hear it.

When you read and interpret the Bible, compare Scripture with Scripture!

This week we’ve been looking at how to read the Bible. And one important principle is the “plain meaning of Scripture.”

Did you know the Bible says there’s no God? Well, the Bible only says this if you ignore the context!

If we interpret Genesis literally, do we need to interpret the whole Bible that way?

The penalty for sin is death, and because we’ve all sinned, we all deserve death! But from the beginning God promised a Savior.

After sin entered the world, mankind became increasingly wicked. So wicked that God judged them with a global flood.

Yesterday we learned about the first of the Seven C’s of History, Creation. God created a perfect world, free from death and suffering. But what happened?

At the Creation Museum we summarize the foundational history of the Bible as the Seven C’s of History. And we’re going to look at those C’s this week.

Many families gather to read from the Gospels of Matthew or Luke as they celebrate the birth of the Savior. But we really should start reading back in Genesis!

We need to do good research that starts from a biblical worldview and recognizes that our climate was designed by an all-wise Creator who sees the future.

Climate-change alarmists tell us that it’s definitely man-made carbon dioxide emissions that are causing climate change.

Climate-change activists argue that virtually all scientists agree that devastating climate change is the result of man’s actions. But is this true?

I often hear the claim that creationists don’t believe in climate change. But that’s not true!

Climate change is constantly in the news. But did you know it’s not really about the data—it all has to do with your worldview?

What’s the key to forming a fossil? Well, if you guessed “time” you’re wrong! The key is the right conditions—specifically rapid burial and mineral rich mud.

Have you ever seen an opal? These beautiful blue, green, yellow, and red gemstones nearly all come from Australia.

In God’s perfect creation, toxic trees didn’t exist. But God designed koalas with the ability to adapt their diet after the fall.

In the earthworm, God has provided Earth with an efficient system of enriching the soil. Even the lowly worm proclaims the Creator’s glory!

How can we answer someone who’s hurting who asks, “why would a good God create death and suffering?”

Just weeks after the resurrection, the apostles were preaching and also suffering persecution! Their lives were radically changed when they met the risen Lord.

If the disciples had invented Jesus and his resurrection, would they really have been willing to suffer and die for it?

Josephus and Tacitus are just two of the many non-Christian, early sources that mention Jesus. To say Christians made him up is to ignore the Bible and history.

If Jesus never even lived and the disciples just made him up, somebody could’ve pointed out that no one remembered any such man! And yet no one did that.

Have you ever heard the claim that Jesus never even existed but was just a made-up figure? Now, how would you respond?

We’re all without excuse for rejecting our Creator. And yet people do—not because of a lack of evidence, but because they suppress the truth in unrighteousness.

When scientists copy nature in their designs, it’s called “biomimicry.” But, they aren’t really copying nature. They’re copying God’s design!

Earth is a very special place, uniquely suited for life. Consider that our sun is just the right color for plants to be able to turn sunlight into energy.

If you take a telescope and peer into outer space, you might notice that it’s very orderly. There’s nothing random out there!

DNA is so complex and so compact that just a pinhead of DNA holds enough information to fill a stack of books that would reach to the moon—five hundred times!

The Christmas season should remind us that our biggest problem has already been solved!

Because of what Christ has done, and no matter what your present circumstances, you do have something to give thanks for!

All the consequences of man’s sin will be done away with, and those who have trusted Christ will live with him for eternity.

So, how close might we be to the end? Well, I don’t know but I do know this! We’re living in the end times, compared to those who came before us.

At the Creation Museum we teach “The Seven C’s of History,” the foundational history in God’s Word. But one of those C’s isn’t history—it’s still to come!

Some people say we can’t be dogmatic about things like the age of the earth. They say we can’t really know what the book of Genesis really means.

Once at a conference, I had a young boy ask me, “If God created us, who created God?”

We’ve never seen such a dramatic rise in moral relativism—and the LGBTQ worldview—in our lifetime. What’s going on?

As Christians, let’s start our thinking with God’s Word. And that means we need a seventh kingdom of life—the human kingdom!

The United Nations released shocking guidance that called for the decriminalization of sexual relations with minors, with no age limit given. It’s appalling!

God created a “very good” world with a “very good” design for the family. But sin broke God’s very good creation and now everything groans because of sin.

God’s design for the family is for one man and one woman to get married and have children, and those children are a gift from God! Children belong to parents.

God defines marriage because he created it! And he designed it to be between one man and one woman for life.

We aren’t self-made people who can just create our own identity. We’ve already been given an identity by God as either a male or a female.

It doesn’t take much to see that our culture in general hates God’s design for the family. They hate marriage between one man and one woman.

It’s God—not us—who saves. We simply obey his Word, do our part, and trust that Christ will build his church. The gates of hell just can’t prevail against it.

We can’t save the spiritually dead—only Jesus can. But we can “move the stones” by sharing reasons for the hope we have. Then trust God with the results.

In my conversations with atheists, I’ve had many say that if they just had more evidence for God’s existence, they’d believe. But, do they really mean that?

Today is Halloween here in America. For many, this is a day to dress up the kids and get some candy. But for others, it’s a day of witchcraft and wickedness.

Satanism—which is really just a form of atheism—is growing. But why? Because everyone worships something, there’s always a god on the throne of your heart!

Using the history of Genesis as our framework, we can properly interpret the evidence in biology, geology, astronomy, and so much more.

Our culture is very confused about what it means to be a man or a woman or if there are even men and women! There’s confusion everywhere.

People believe the Supreme Court of the US defines marriage. But marriage wasn’t invented or defined by humans! It was created by God and defined in Genesis.

God created a perfect world, free from death and suffering. But the first man, Adam, disobeyed God’s command, and the penalty for sin is death.

Did you know every major doctrine of Christian theology is ultimately grounded in the history in the book of Genesis? Think about it!

Mankind did not evolve but was made in the image of the Creator. It’s no surprise our ancestors used their God-given intellects to accomplish great feats.

Since man was created intelligent and told to fill the earth, it should be no surprise to us that ancient man explored and navigated around the world.

Evolution claims human society evolved into more complex forms. But the evidence instead shows complex civilizations arising around the world—at the same time!

Ancient man was not unintelligent. Humans were created in God’s image and have been using their minds to accomplish great things since the very beginning.

According to man’s ideas about history, humans evolved from ape-like creatures and were originally primitive and unintelligent.

We see many similarities between living things. This is called “homology.” It’s often used by evolutionists as evidence of descent from a common ancestor.

Creation is also important because this is an authority issue. There are only two starting points: man’s word and God’s Word.

It doesn’t seem to matter how much—or how good—our evidence is. Some people just won’t believe. So, do they need more evidence?

Jesus said humans were created at the beginning; evolutionists say we didn’t arrive until billions of years after the big bang.

Just like there was only one door into the ark, there’s only one way to escape God’s judgment. And that is through Jesus Christ.

The more we learn about the intricacies of space, the more we’re in awe of what he’s done. Yes, space exploration can be a good thing!

Scientists used to think Neanderthals were sub-human brutes. But creation scientists recognized that Neanderthals had all the hallmarks of being human.

Flood legends confirm that the Bible’s history is true. Yes, people groups from all over carry the memory of Noah’s global flood.

Many cultures have legends with elements remarkably similar to the account of creation, the fall, and the flood. Consider this one from Tanzania, in Africa.

All last week, I answered common questions about Noah’s ark. But is there any evidence there really was a global flood and a Noah’s ark?

At the Ark Encounter, we feature several sculpted dinosaurs to depict how they were housed and cared for. Wait—how could dinosaurs fit on the ark?

So many people wonder how Noah could’ve done such a big project with just his three sons.

Many secularists mock the account of the flood, claiming there’s no way just eight people could care for all the animals on the ark.

Have you ever wondered how Noah fit all the animals on the ark? Well, he didn’t need all the species we have today.

Secularists claimed we shouldn’t be using technology to build the Ark since Noah didn’t or did he?

Assisted suicide is murder—it’s not compassionate and merciful. It takes advantage of the poor and sick. It devalues precious human lives.

Genesis explains our differences! There’s one race—the human race.

The creation/evolution debate isn’t a battle over the evidence—it’s a battle over two different interpretations of the same evidence.

Take advantage of opportunities when they hear the lies of the world. Point them to God’s unchanging truth. Teach them to always start thinking with God’s Word.

Several years ago, researchers in Europe wanted to see if morality was declining within the church. And their answer was “no, not really.”

A few years ago, the media excitedly announced proof of the big bang. Many Christians were troubled by this, since the big bang directly contradicts God’s Word.

We shouldn’t be surprised when archaeology confirms God’s Word. After all, God’s Word is true, so this is exactly what we should expect!

Evolution is a story about the past. But, it’s also a story of the future. You see, in this worldview, death and suffering are just part of life.

When you mix man’s ideas with God’s Word, it’s God’s Word that usually gets radically changed. And change in one area leads to change in other areas.

Today is 9/11, the sad anniversary of the terrorist attack on America. This event shocked America, and many wondered, “Where’s a loving God in this tragedy?”

Biblically, we’re to steward earth for our good, God’s glory. But what does that mean?

God cares for what he’s made—including the plants and animals. So, we can’t just do whatever we want, depleting resources with no thought of the future.

This week we’re looking at the issue of climate change. Should we be in panic? No.

If you listen to the media, it’s time to panic, because we’re ruining earth. And there’s supposedly only a few years left before it’s too late!

This world isn’t better off without humans. God has designed creation to be cared for by us, so let’s practice biblical dominion.

Cultures all around the world have legends of dragons. Their art features some of these creatures, recognizable as brachiosaurs, stegosaurs, or other dinosaurs.

There’re a lot of secular theories for why the dinosaurs went extinct. But the Bible gives us the proper framework for understanding their extinction.

Noah took two of every kind of land-dwelling, air-breathing animal. Since dinosaurs are land-dwelling and air-breathing, they came to Noah to go on the ark.

Genesis chapter 1 tells us that, originally, people and the animals were created vegetarian. God gave them the plants to eat.

If you were asked “where did dinosaurs come from?,” how would you answer? Well, it’s not a hard question if we start with the Bible. Let’s take a look.

Who would’ve thought, even ten years ago, people would be asking “what is a woman?” But, well, here we are!

God has made you the way you are on purpose. You are fearfully and wonderfully made by him in his very image as either a male or a female!

I have a question for you—who owns the children? Well, our culture today largely believes that the government does! But, is that what the Bible teaches?

It’s been horrifying to watch children being sucked into trans ideology. What can we do to protect our children?

Our culture today says gender is fluid, that biology has nothing to do with it! Boys can be girls, and girls, boys.

When it comes to the foundation for your worldview, there’s only two choices: man’s word or God’s Word.

The temples of atheism are most public schools. This religion is taught to millions of students every day in our education system, many are believing it.

A few hours in church is just not enough. You need to be diligent every day to teach your children the things of the Lord, combat the lies of the world.

Many parents claim, “well, my kids need to be in public school. They can be missionaries to the other children.” But can your child really be a missionary?

Many people think that secular means “neutral.” So public schools—because they’re “secular”—are neutral. But there’s actually no such thing as true neutrality!

Trilobites are extinct sea creatures. Many of them are found in the fossil record. But what’s even more interesting is that many trilobite tracks are also found in the fossil record.

When leaves fall from the trees, it doesn’t take long for them to curl up and start to crumble. And yet fossil leaves are flat and look like they were freshly picked!

Evolutionists believe birds evolved from dinosaurs. In fact they actually think birds are dinosaurs! But there’s big problems with this idea, including the way birds walk.

T. rex supposedly lived sixty-eight million years ago—so how could soft tissue last that long? Well, the short answer is—it can’t!

This week we’re going to look at five fossil mysteries that evolution can’t explain.

The only way we can recognize those who won’t endure sound teaching is by knowing God and his Word!
