The Scholarly Case for the Bible as the Authentic Word of God. That phrase may sound ambitious, even bold, in an age skeptical of absolutes. Yet the case is not built on sentiment or tradition alone—it rests upon evidence that has accumulated across centuries of serious study. Approximately forty human authors, writing over nearly fifteen…

Snowflakes are a symphony of intricacy and beauty and are among the most exquisite forms that nature has to offer, and no two flakes are alike. Several evolutionists have attempted to use the order of crystal formation, a result of atomic structures based solely on natural laws, as evidence for the purely natural development of…

Have you ever heard of the term golden numbers? Evolutionists theorize that the universe came into being through random means. Fundamentally, randomness lacks symmetry since the very concept of symmetry implies order. Randomness also lacks periodicity, such as events occurring in a cycle or objects in a repeating sequence. Quite simply, randomness lacks any evidence…

Apollo 8 was the inaugural human space mission to depart from low Earth orbit and reach the moon. Its three astronauts—Frank Borman, William Anders, and James Lovell—made history when they observed and documented an earthrise and the moon’s far side.1 The spacecraft splashed down in the northern Pacific Ocean on December 27, 1968.2 Upon their…

As the old proverb goes, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Inspired by God’s creation mandate in Genesis 1:28, humans across the centuries have sought ways to optimize processes, solve problems, and ultimately “subdue” the world for our benefit. The quest to observe and record the laws of nature has…

The problem with mixing long ages and the Bible stems from how someone interprets Genesis 1 and 2. If these chapters are read as symbolic and/or poetic (not as a literal, historical account of how God created the universe), the question then becomes: How should the rest of Genesis—and the Bible—be interpreted? The answer is…

The magnificence of a colorful autumn comes to the northern latitudes at the end of every year. Scientists have long endeavored to comprehend the transformations that take place in trees and plants throughout the autumn season. While lacking complete knowledge, they possess sufficient understanding to explain the fundamental aspects of these spectacular displays. Interestingly, the…

Is there any evidence for a creator? Contrary to what some scientists claim, there is compelling philosophical and scientific evidence that a Creator of the universe exists. For example, the conditions described by the two laws of thermodynamics demand special creation.[1]1. Although no model of origins can be tested via the scientific method—since history is…

Have you ever wondered about the beauty of creation? Why a sunset on a beach is captivating, snowcapped mountains are breathtaking, and a valley filled with wildflowers is enchanting? Scripture, as a whole, teaches that God brought the universe and everything in it into existence to magnify His glory. The creation of all these things…

Was the moon formed in just hours? Despite the moon’s apparently simple shape, uniformitarian scientists have long had great difficulty explaining how it could form by natural processes apart from a supernatural Creator. One Harvard astrophysicist once quipped that the best explanation for the moon’s existence was observational error—the moon doesn’t really exist![1]Lissauer, J. J.…
