    When Is a Billion Years Not a Billion Years?

    We often hear evolutionary scientists talking about this or that fossil that is, they say, "millions" or "billions" of years old. On the other hand, the Bible preserves ancient calendars from the time of Adam, such as in Genesis 5, which allow us to place the creation at only a few thousand years ago. How do evolutionists arrive at those millions of years?All dating systems in use are based on the supposed evolutionary progression of life. Some people think that there are radioactive dating methods that are independent of the evolutionary tree, but the technical literature admits that this is not the case. Rock samples are dated by what are called index fossils. If a given rock sample has a certain shell in it, and the evolutionary tree says that creature lived 55 million years ago, the rock is dated at 55 million evolutionary years.This dating system, however, doesn't always work the way scientists expect it to. The rock sample, from a layer previously dated from other samples, was said to be 1.1 billion years old. Yet it had worm burrows in it. Evolutionist history says that worms didn't evolve until half a billion years ago. Another evolutionist examined the rock and said he found shells in it that date it at 545 million years ago. Yet other scientists looked at the rock and said that the shells weren't really shells. So they are now stuck with dates that conflict with each other by more that 100 percent.Rocks will continue to be found which don't fit into the evolutionary timetable because they, and all life, were formed by God not millions but only thousands of years ago.Genesis 5:5"And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.”Prayer: I thank You, Father, that You have made everything and told us about it in Your perfect Word. In Jesus' Name. Amen.Ref: R.M. “A rock that lies about its age,” Science News. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1232/29?v=20251111

    Doctors Study GOD

    Physicians have been mystified by and are in the process of studying GOD. But in this case, the acronym "GOD" stands for "generation of diversity." The diversity that amazes them is the diversity found in our immune system. While we have fewer than 100,000 genes, our immune system is able to generate tens of millions of distinct antibodies to defend and protect itself from disease. How can only 100,000 genes produce thousands of times that many antibodies?Actually, we have two immune systems. The first is called the innate system. This rapid response system relies on common characteristics found in most microbes to bind and conquer them. The second immune system is called the combinatorial immune system. It is this second immune system that generates tens of millions of different and very specific antibodies. Its response is slower than the innate system because it responds to an infection by making and sending a variety of antibodies at invaders. Depending on which antibodies recognize the invader, the combinatorial system then begins to manufacture more specific antibodies until the invader is conquered.Researchers studying the details of the immune system are astonished at how evolution could design such a complex, ingenious and precise system. Even from a scientific standpoint, the simpler explanation is that our immune system, like everything else, was created by an all-wise, all-powerful Creator!John 11:11-12"These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well."Prayer: I thank You, Father, for providing us with immune systems, and I ask You for good health. In Jesus' Name.

    The Evolutionary Tree of Life Is Dying

    We are all familiar with the evolutionary tree of life. It is supposed to depict how life began as a single-celled organism and over immense periods of time mutated into all the various forms of life we see today. We have offered several Creation Moments programs recently that explained how new genetic studies simply don't support this evolutionary tree.Those of us who accept young earth creationism are not the only ones who are beginning to notice this problem. Creatures that are completely unrelated, according to the evolutionary tree, have very similar genes. More often than not, DNA information disagrees with a creature's supposed lineage as it is presented on the evolutionary tree of life. Very different creatures, unrelated according to the evolutionary tree, develop from very similar genes. Our genetic knowledge of creatures is most complete with the simpler organisms. Even evolutionists have admitted that microorganisms without a nucleus do not fit into any kind of evolutionary tree. The facts are killing the evolutionary tree of life. Some evolutionists are admitting that the history of life cannot be represented as a tree. Some even ask whether the history of life can ever be known with any certainty.In short, the new genetic information we are rapidly accumulating supports the Bible's teaching that each kind of creature was separately created. New genetic information shows that there is not one trunk to the tree of life. The only real source of life is our victorious, risen Savior, Jesus Christ.John 11:25"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live…"Prayer: Lord, thank You for giving me life, especially eternal life.

    Conchs In Space!

    The shell of the giant pink queen conch is made of such remarkable material that scientists speak of its design, even while they say that it is a product of evolutionary chance. The beautiful shell is made of a form of calcium carbonate called aragonite. Yet it is structured in such a way that it resists fractures 100 to 1,000 times better than aragonite ordinarily would.The conch's secret is that it combines the aragonite with protein. Further, its shell is made up of three layers of aragonite. The middle layer is structured around a rectangular beam of aragonite sheathed in protein. This duplex rod is then bundled with others into a larger beam. The larger beam is in turn bundled with others to produce a larger beam. This complex arrangement gives the shell its extraordinary strength. Pressure that ordinarily causes a catastrophic crack in the aragonite merely scatters the pressure into thousands of tiny cracks.Materials scientists studying the conch shell refer to this as a high-performance composite structure. They hope to apply the principles learned from the conch shell to make stronger building materials, bridges and even space vehicles.If such sophisticated design could arise without a Designer, modern companies would surely be wasting their time hiring highly trained designers to improve their products.Ephesians 6:11"Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil."Prayer: Protect me, dear Lord, within the armor of Your perfect Truth. Amen.Ref: Science News, "Conch yields clues for future materials." Image: Researcher holding juvenile queen conch, Jennifer Doerr, NOAA SEFSC Galveston, PD, Wikimedia Commons.

    Canada's Fossil Forest

    Axel Heiberg Island in Northern Canada is the closest point of land to the North Pole. The landscape is completely barren today but long ago a dense forest of large meta-sequoia trees grew there. At that time, the climate must have been like Florida today. The stumps of these “fossil trees” have not mineralized and are still wood, that is, cellulose. They are claimed to be 45 million years old.Researchers at Johns Hopkins University studied the hydrogen and oxygen isotopes of the cellulose. These lightweight isotopes are normally quickly lost by evaporation from dead wood but to their surprise the researches discovered an unusually high content. This means that their rate of evaporation was extremely low. In other words, not only did the trees grow in a humid climate but this climate continued a long time after the trees were destroyed. Further, cellulose is quickly broken down by bacterial action if exposed to air so that the trees were buried rapidly, deeply and a lot more recently than 45 million years ago.Creation Moments happened to be present when a sample of this wood was used to calibrate the equipment at a well-known Carbon 14 dating laboratory. Believing the wood to be 45 million years old it should contain no Carbon 14 but in fact it did and dated at only 41 thousand years!Ecclesiastes 11:3"If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth; and if the tree fall toward the south or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.”Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, You have given us so much evidence for a recent creation and Your sustaining hand upon it. Please open the eyes of those who would willfully ignore these signs.

    The "Bear Facts" About Good Health

    Imagine, lying around not just for days on end, but for months! And while lounging the months away, you get leaner and more muscular. The bear’s lifestyle sounds like a couch potato's dream.Such a lifestyle would cause our bones to become weak and smaller, and make the calcium level of our blood high enough to kill us. Apart from losing bone, we would also lose muscle and gain fat, lying around all day. We all know what happens to couch potatoes. But bears, they are different and scientists have been puzzled to learn that bears don't suffer bone loss, and don't lose muscle during their winter rests -- they don't really sleep all winter, but they do rest a lot. Moreover, they don't eat, drink, or use the bathroom all winter – a routine that would kill most creatures in less than a week.Researchers believe that they have found the chemical in a bear's blood that prevents bone loss during long inactivity. The chemical is under study for possible use in treating human osteoporosis. Bears avoid bathroom visits by chemically changing their own wastes back into proteins. The fact that scientists study how things in the creation work to improve how we do things is a tribute to the workmanship of the Creator, even if scientists refuse to admit His existence and activity.Ephesians 2:10"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath beforehand ordained, that we should walk in them.”Prayer: Dear Father, give strength and wisdom to those who study how You have made the creation to improve how we do things, not only for our Earthly benefit, but also that, seeing Your Hand, they would come to You through Jesus Christ. In His Name. Amen.Ref: Ingrid Wickelgren, “Bone Loss and the Three Bears: A circulating secret of skeletal stability,” Science News.  To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1232/29?v=20251111

    The Creator's Gift of Intelligence

    In many of our Creation Moments programs, we have shown that animal intelligence is not a result of evolution but God’s gift to His creatures. While animals are limited to a much smaller area of specialty, some can perform feats of intelligence that even man cannot accomplish.For example, at the Japanese Deer Park in California, pigeons have been trained to sort electrical parts. They can do this with greater efficiency and accuracy than humans. People usually become bored quickly with such work and lose their concentration.But then there is the mystery of migration. The Golden Plover bird migrates between Alaska and Hawaii. Yet the parents never teach their youngsters the route. When migration time comes, the young are usually old enough to fend for themselves, but too young to fly the thousands of miles, non-stop, required by the route. So the parents leave them in Alaska and head for Hawaii. A little later when they are stronger, the young plovers follow the same route without error, even though they have no guide.Intelligence is not the result of mindless natural forces, for how could mindlessness produce intelligence or even genius? Christians should not be surprised, as are evolutionists, to find many examples of intelligence in the animal world because intelligence is the gift of God the Creator to His creatures.Psalm 111:10"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; a good understanding have all they that do His commandments. His praise endureth for ever!”Prayer: Dear Lord, I thank You for the gift of intelligence. Help me to be a good steward of the intelligence You have given me. In Jesus' Name.

    Scientific Evidence for the Flood

    If there was a great worldwide flood, as described in Genesis, such a catastrophe certainly should have left obvious evidence of itself all over the world. Scientists who believe in creation say that we are surrounded by these evidences. Many of them also believe that some of the features associated with glaciers can be better explained by a catastrophic flood. While evolutionary scientists scoff at the biblical account of the Flood, they continue to run across evidences of what they take to be huge floods. Further evidence has been reported of a continental flood.The September 1989, issue of Geology, a scientific professional journal, carried an article about drumlins in northern Saskatchewan. Drumlins are hills that are traditionally associated with glacial activity. When viewed from the air, they resemble eggs lying on their sides, all pointing in the same direction.Over the years some scientists have proposed that drumlins were formed by large quantities of water running in the same direction. The article in Geology offers yet more evidence for large quantities of water moving over the continental land surfaces. One of the scientists remarked that, “There's nothing in recorded history that matches the size of these floods.”If we consider Genesis to be recorded history, rather than ancient and ignorant myth, there certainly is a historical record of a huge Flood!Genesis 7:20"Fifteen cubits upward did the waters prevail, and the mountains were covered.”Prayer: Dear Lord, in our age of unbelief, so many don't even feel they need to apologize for rejecting Your Word as ancient myths. Help me, along with all of Your people, to be bright, shining lights for Your truth in this dark world. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
