    Is There Evidence For a Creator? Interview With Jon Noyes (Part 2)

    In Part 2 of his latest conversation with Know Why, apologist Jon Noyes, a former atheist, encourages listeners to follow scientific evidence to its conclusion. For Christians, Jon believes following the evidence will lead to a more robust faith in God—not the opposite, which many people fear. For non-Christians, Jon shares his own testimony of how scientific evidence and logic led him to reject naturalism in favor of the Christian worldview.

    Did a Global Flood Cause the Ice Age? Interview With Dr. Jake Hebert

    What caused the Ice Age? Returning for Part 2 of his conversation with the Know Why Podcast, Dr. Jake Hebert, a research scientist with the Institute for Creation Research, explains why the global flood described in the Bible would have created the perfect environment for an Ice Age. In fact, he argues the evidence for a flood-induced Ice Age is more compelling than the reigning theory, which depends on manipulated calculations and questionable science.  Skeptical?
