FORWARD

As Kent began traveling and speaking fulltime on Creation,Evolution, and Dinosaurs, some things became a repetitive process.Loading the old van which did not have air conditioning or aworking heater but was equipped with a leaky roof, then unloadingthe van and cleaning it after a family of five "lived in it" a few dayswere a few of the less desirable reoccurring chores. Equallyrepetitive, but contrastingly precious, were seeing some of God'smarvelous creation firsthand, meeting some of God's choicestservants, and watching as God chose to use these humble servantsto testify of His awesome power as Creator of the Universe!

One activity that seemed to become a regular item of businesswas spending time in the church's copy machine room followingseminars. Copies of certain information, charts, references, andother miscellaneous materials were repeatedly being requested.Kent spoke so fast that it was impossible for people to take notesquickly enough to capture key points of interest on paper for futurestudy and reference.

Only those who have spent extensive time "on the roadministering" can fully appreciate the euphoria and exhaustion at theclose of a meeting. One feels so humbled and grateful to have beenused by God, rejoicing in those who have trusted Christ or beenchallenged to serve their Creator in a greater way. Yet, the body isusually just plain tired. Ministry is hard work.

Therefore, in an effort to save the extra hour in the copymachine room, each week Kent began developing "The SeminarNotebook." Hence, everything in the little notebook was pretty"hodge-podge," simply a culmination of often-requested material.Some items such as poems and songs didn't even fall specificallyunder the creation science topic, but because they were requested sooften, Kent included them. Then when people asked for copies ofmany items, he could tell them, "Oh, that's in the SeminarNotebook," and we could pack up the old van an hour sooner.

It is a never ending process of editing a notebook like this one.We are grateful for those who are lending their expertise to make itan even more user-friendly, up-to-date resource. We commitanother editing of it to God, praying that it will provide valuableresources to Christians, or as Kent would say, "give Christians morebullets for the war against evolution."

• Every religion tries to answer four great questions.-

• Two irreconcilable worldviews exist.- Creation- Evolution

• Satan’s lie to Eve is revealing.-

Who am I?- Where did I come from?- Why am I here?- Where am I going when I die?

Masked his own desire to be God- Began his 6,000-year attempt to destroyhumanity

- Began a false worldview of evolving togodhood

• Big lies are believed more easily than small ones.• Effectual lies are mixed with truth.• This technique is used in advertising.• Modern science textbooks mix evolution and science.• Textbooks confuse six types of evolution.

- Cosmic evolution (big bang - origin of matter)- Chemical evolution (higher chemical)- Planetary and stellar evolution (origin of the

stars)- Organic evolution (origin of life)- Macroevolution - animals changing into new

kinds (unobserved)- Microevolution (variation)

• Fairy tales are taught in school.- Frog + kiss = prince- Frog + time = prince

• The evidence is against the big bang.• Evolution violates both laws of thermodynamics.• Students are taught they are animals.• Many students begin to behave like animals.• Teachers can teach creation in public schools.• A great decline in morals is seen since 1963.• Scientists have a long history of being wrong.• The majority of Americans do not believe in evolution.• Belief in evolution destroys confidence in Scripture.

• Look at the proofs of a young universe and earth.- Earth’s population

“Researchers suggest thatvirtually all modernmen—99.9% of them, saysone scientist—are closelyrelated genetically and sharegenes with one male ancestor,dubbed ‘Y-chromosomeAdam.’

“We are finding thathumans have very, veryshallow genetic roots which goback very recently to oneancestor, ...that indicates thatthere was an origin in aspecific location on the globe,and then it spread out fromthere.”

ARTICLES

“One cannot be exposed to the law and order of theuniverse without concluding that there must be design andpurpose behind it all.... To be forced to believe only oneconclusion— that everything in the universe happened bychance—would violate the very objectivity of science itself....They (evolutionists) challenge science to prove the existenceof God. But must we really light a candle to see the sun? It isin scientific honesty that I endorse the presentation of alter-native theories for the origin of the universe, life and man inthe science classroom. It would be an error to overlook thepossibility that the universe was planned rather than happen-ing by chance.”

(Father of American rocket and space program)— Dr. Wernher von Braun

* AUTHOR’S NOTE:When I use the word

evolution, I am not referringto the minor variations foundin all of the various life forms(microevolution). I amreferring to the general theoryof evolution which believesthese five major events tookplace without God:

1. Time, space, and mattercame into existence bythemselves.

2. Planets and stars formedfrom space dust.

3. Matter created life byitself.

4. Early life forms learnedto reproduce themselves.

5. Major changes occurredbetween these diverse lifeforms (i.e., fish changedto amphibians,amphibians changed toreptiles, and reptileschanged to birds ormammals).

Dr. Hovind’s $250,000 OfferOffered Since 1990–Increased from $10,000 in 1999

$250,000

I have a standing offer of $250.00 to anyone who can give anyempirical evidence (scientific proof) for evolution.* My $250,000offer demonstrates that the hypothesis of evolution is nothingmore than a man-made belief system (religion).

Most thinking people will agree that:

1. A highly ordered universe exists.2. At least one planet (probably only one) in this complex

universe contains an amazing variety of life forms.3. Man appears to be the most advanced form of life on this

planet.

Choices of how the observed phenomena came into being:

1. The universe was created by God.2. The universe always existed.3. The universe came into being by itself by purely natural

processes (known as evolution) so that no appeal to thesupernatural is needed.

Students in tax-supported schools are being taught that evolu-tion is a fact. We are convinced that evolution is a religion masquer-ading as science and should not be part of any science curriculum. Ithas nothing to do with the subject of science. There are at least sixdifferent and unrelated meanings to the word “evolution.”Students are deceived into thinking all six types of evolution (listedbelow) have been proven because evidence is given for the minorvariations called microevolution.

1. Cosmic evolution—the origin of time, space, and matter(the big bang theory)

2. Chemical evolution—the origin of higher elements fromhydrogen

3. Stellar and planetary evolution—origin of stars and planets4. Organic evolution—origin of life from inanimate matter5. Macroevolution—changing from one “kind” into another6. Microevolution—variations within kinds (only one to be

observed)

This deception is a classic bait and switch. One definition ofevolution (descent with modification) is given. The others areassumed to be true by association. The first five meanings arebelieved by faith and therefore religious. Only the last one isscientific.

Observed phenomena:

Known options:

Creation Science Evangelism • 29 Cummings Road • Pensacola, Florida 325032

People do not evolution is true; yet, they believe in it.While beliefs are certainly fine to have, it is not fair nor legal to forceon the students in our public school system the teaching of onebelief, at taxpayers’ expense. It is my contention that evolutionismis a religious worldview that is not supported by science, Scripture,popular opinion, or common sense. The exclusive teaching of thisdangerous, mind-altering philosophy in tax-supported schools,parks, museums, etc., is a clear violation of the First Amendment.

Prove beyond reasonable doubt that the process of evolution(option 3, pg. 2) is the only possible way the observed phenomenacould have come into existence.

Only empirical evidence is acceptable. Persons wishing tocollect the $250,000 may submit their evidence inwriting or schedule a time for a public presentation.A committee of trained scientistswill provide peer review of theevidence offered and, to the bestof their ability, will be fair andhonest in their evaluation andjudgment as to the validity of theevidence presented.

If you are convinced that evolution is an indisputable

may I suggest that you offer $250,000 for anythe general theory of evolution. This

might include the following:

• The earth is not billions of years old (thus destroying thepossibility of evolution having happened as is taught).

• No animal has ever been observed changing into any funda-mentally different kind of animal.

• No one has ever observed life spontaneously arising fromnonliving matter.

• Matter cannot make itself out of nothing.

Proponents of the theory of evolution would do well to admitthat they in evolution, but they do not if it happenedthe way they have been taught. They should call evolution their“faith” or “religion,” and stop including it in books of science. Irecommend that you not trust evolutionism, but in the God of theBible (the Creator of this universe Who will be our Judge one daysoon) to forgive you and to save you from the coming judgment ofman’s sin.

The general theory of evolution is based on several faultyassumptions. (Note: It is important to understand by this state-ment that we are not disputing simple variations that some call“microevolution,” whose micro-changes are often observed butnever lead to a fundamentally different kind of plant or animal.)The following assumptions of evolutionary theory are easily provenfalse:

• The universe is billions of years old.• Life spontaneously arose from nonliving minerals.• Mutations create or improve a species.• Natural selection has creative power.

In this section we will deal with the first of these assumptions.The others will be dealt with elsewhere. If, in fact, it could bedemonstrated that the universe is not billions of years old, all otherarguments about evolution become meaningless and unnecessary.

In children’s fairy tales, we are told

(usually a kiss) =

In modern “science” textbooks we are told

The same basic fairy tale is being promoted in textbooks today,but the new magic potion cited is When the theory of evolu-tion is discussed, is the panacea for all the thousands ofproblems that arise.

In nearly all discussions and debates about evolution that I haveheld at universities and colleges, I ask the evolutionists how certainthings could have evolved by chance. Their answer is nearly always“Given enough time...” is the evolutionists’ god. is ableto accomplish anything the evolutionists can propose. caneasily turn a frog into a prince. can create matter from noth-ing and life from matter. cancreate order from chaos.

If were to be removed from the above equation, thefollowing three results would occur:

• The obvious impossibility of evolution would be clearlyseen.

• Evolutionists would scream like a baby whose pacifier hasbeen pulled out because they know that if time is removed,the silliness of their religion (evolution is religion, notscience) will be exposed.

• Creation would become the only reasonable alternativeexplanation for the existence of this complex universe.

Origin ofSpecies


Let’s imagine we are exploring an old gold mine, and we find aCasio Databank watch half buried in the mud on the floor of themine. Suppose, also, that the correct time and date are displayed onthe watch, and it is still running smoothly. Then imagine that I tellyou the watch has been there for over

“That’s impossible!” you say. “That watch could not have beenthere for a thousand years, and I can prove it!”

“How can you prove I’m wrong?” I say.“Well, for one thing, this mine was dug just 150 years ago,” you

say.“Okay,” I admit, “you’re right about the thousand years being

too much, but the watch has been here for 150 years at least!”“No!” you say. “Casio didn’t make the Databank watch until

twelve years ago.”“All right,” I say. “The watch was dropped here twelve years ago

then.”“Impossible!” you say. “The batteries only last five years on that

watch, and it’s still running. That proves it has been here less thanfive years.”

While we still can’t prove exactly when the watch was left there,you have logically limited the date to five years at the most. You haveeffectively proven my initial statement about 1,000 years wrong.The larger numbers prove nothing in this debate. Even if I were tocarbon date the mud or the plastic in the watch to try to prove that itis thousands of years old, my data would be meaningless. The samelogic can be applied to finding the age of the earth. If several factorslimit the age of the earth to a few thousand years, the earth cannot beolder than a few thousand years! Even if a few indicators seem toshow a greater age for the earth, it takes ONE fact to prove theearth is young

The Bible teaches that: God created the universe approximately6,000 years ago, (out of nothing) in six literal, twenty-fourhour days. Then, approximately 4,400 years ago, the earth wasdestroyed by a worldwide Flood. This devastating, year-long Floodwas responsible for the sediment layers being deposited (the waterwas going and returning, Genesis 8:3-5). As the mountains rose andthe oceans sank after the Flood (Psalm 104:5-8, Genesis 8:1), thewaters rushed off the rising mountains into the new ocean basins.This rapid erosion through still-soft, unprotected sedimentsformed the topography we still see today in places like the GrandCanyon. The uniformitarian assumption—that today’s slowerosion rates (that take place through solid rock) are the same ashave always been—is faulty logic, and ignores catastrophes like theFlood. Second Peter 3:3-8 says that the scoffers are “willinglyignorant” of the Flood

Though it cannot be scientifically proven exactlywhen the universe was created, its age can be shown to NOT bebillions of years. Each of the following evidences of a young earth isdescribed in great detail in the books referred to in the side column.

The shrinking sun limits the earth-sun relationship to fewerthan billions of years. The sun is losing both mass anddiameter. Changing the mass would upset the finegravitational balance that keeps the earth at just the rightdistance for life to survive , p. 169; , p. 30; , pp. 56-63; ,p. 26; , p. 43; p.34-35 ).The ½ inch layer of cosmic dust on the moon indicates themoon has not been accumulating dust for billions of years ( ,p. 26; , p. 22; , p. 15; , p. 35; ; , p. 25; , pp. 33, 80).NOTE: Insufficient evidence to be positiveThe existence of short-period comets indicates the universeis less than billions of years old ( p. 31; p. 27; , p. 35; ,p. 37; , p.29; , p.22).Fossil meteorites are very rare in layers other than the toplayers of the earth. This indicates that the layers were notexposed for millions of years as is currently being taught inschool textbooks ( , p. 26; , pp. 27, 67).The moon is receding from the earth a few inches each year.Billions of years ago the moon would have been so close thatthe tides would have been much higher, eroding thecontinents quickly ( , p. 25; p. 43; p. 33).The moon contains considerable quantities of U-236 and Th-230, both short-lived isotopes that would have been longgone if the moon were billions of years old ( p. 177; see also

p. 51 & p. 28 for information on rock “flow”).The existence of great quantities of space dust, which by thePoynting-Robertson effect would have been vacuumed outof our solar system in a few thousand years, indicates thesolar system is young ( p. 29; , p.44; p. 33, 80;pp.87-88).At the rate many star clusters are expanding, they could nothave been traveling for billions of years ( p. 29; pp. 30and 59; p. 44; p. 82).Saturn’s rings are still unstable, indicating they are notbillions of years old ( p. 45; p.22-23).Jupiter and Saturn are cooling off rather rapidly. They arelosing heat twice as fast as they gain it from the sun. Theycannot be billions of years old ( p. 26; p. 43).Jupiter’s moon, Io, is losing matter to Jupiter. It cannot bebillions of years old ( p. 3; p. 23).Jupiter’s moon, Ganymede has a strong magnetic field ( ).

The YoungEarth


Among other factors to consider is that all the ancient astrono-mers from 2,000 years ago recorded that Sirius was a red star—todayit is a white dwarf. Obviously, the view of modern astronomy text-books that billions of years are required for a star to “evolve” from ared giant to a white dwarf needs to be restudied ( , p.7).

The decaying magnetic field limits earth’s age to less thanbillions ( , p. 157; , p. 27; , p. 20; , p. 23; p. 42; , p. 25;

p. 38; p. 32, 80; , p.91).The volume of lava on earth divided by its rate of efflux gives anumber of only a few million years, not billions. I believe thatduring the Flood, while “the fountains of the deep were brokenup,” most of the earth’s lava was deposited rapidly ( p. 156;p.26).Dividing the amount of various minerals in the ocean bytheir influx rate indicates only a few thousand years ofaccumulation ( p. 153; p. 24; p. 42; , p. 26).The amount of Helium 4 in the atmosphere, divided by theformation rate on earth, gives only 175,000 years. (God mayhave created the earth with some helium which wouldreduce the age more.) ( p. 151; p. 42; p. 25; , p. 25;

, 83-84).The erosion rate of the continents is such that they woulderode to sea level in less than 14,000,000 years, destroying allold fossils ( p. 31; p 38; Vol 56 pp 356-374; , p. 31, 79; pp. 88-90).Topsoil formation rates indicate only a few thousand yearsof formation ( , p. 38; p.94).Niagara Falls’ erosion rate (4 - 7 feet per year) indicates an ageof less than 8,400 years. (Don’t forget Noah’s Flood couldhave eroded half of the seven-and-a-half-mile-long NiagaraRiver gorge in a few hours as the floodwaters raced throughthe soft sediments.) ( p. 39; , pp.48-49).The rock-encasing oil deposits could not withstand thepressure for more than a few thousand years ( p. 32; , p.24; , p. 24; , p. 37; , p. 26).The size of the Mississippi River delta, divided by the ratemud is being deposited, gives an age of less than 30,000 years.(The Flood in Noah’s day could have washed out 80% of themud there in a few hours or days, so 4,400 years is areasonable age for the delta.) ( p. 23; p. 38; ).

Evidence from Earth

The slowing spin of the earth limits its age to less than the“billions of years” called for by the theory of evolution ( p.25; ).A relatively small amount of sediment is now on the oceanfloor, indicating only a few thousand years of accumulation.This embarrassing fact is one of the reasons why the conti-nental drift theory is vehemently defended by those whoworship evolution ( , p. 155; p. 28; , p.31; , p.90).

in the recent past

Those who believe the earth is billions of years old will typicallytry to discredit one or two of these evidences and then mistakenlythink that they have successfully proven the entire list wrong. Thisis not logical, of course. Each evidence stands independently: it onlytakes one to prove the earth is young. The burden of proof is on theevolutionists if they expect all taxpayers to fund the teaching of theirreligion in the school system. Many who believe in evolution aregreat at “straining at a gnat, and swallowing a camel” (Mt. 23:24).

Evolutionists love to assume uniformitarian processes. Many ofthe preceding evidences follow the same logic evolutionists use allthe time in dealing with carbon dating, strata formation, geneticdrift, etc.

It is interesting to read the ramblings of nay sayers like Scott,Matson, Babinski, etc. and see how many times they use words like:we believe, perhaps, could have, there is some reason to believe, etc.Evolutionists need billions of years to make people believe a rock canturn into a rocket scientist, but those years are not available.

The largest stalactites and flowstone formations in the world couldhave easily formed in about 4,400 years ( , p. 27; p.5 6, 39; ).7The Sahara desert is expanding. It is about 4,000 years old.See any earth science textbook (The oceans are getting saltier. If they were billions of yearsold, they would be much saltier than they are now ( , p.26; , p. 37; , p.85-87).Ice accumulation at the poles indicates less than 5000 years ( ).

The current population of earth (6 billion souls) could easilybe generated from eight people (survivors of the Flood) in lessthan 4,000 years ( , p. 167; p. 27; , p. 41; , p. 70-71).The oldest living coral reef is less than 4200 years old ( , p. 39; ).The oldest living tree in the world is about 4,300 years old ( ,p. 40; ).

Another factor to consider: The genetic load in man is increasing.Geneticists have cataloged nearly 1,300 genetic disorders in thehuman race. It is certainly reasonable to believe that the human racewas created perfect from the hand of the Creator but has been goingdownhill as a result of our disobedience to the laws established bythe Creator. The Bible teaches that we live in a sin-cursed world as aresult of Adam’s sin.

The oldest known historical records are less than 6,000 yearsold ( , p. 160).Many ancient cultures have stories of an original creationand a worldwide Flood . Nearly 300 of theseflood legends are now known( )Biblical dates add up to about 6,000 years ( ).

“There is no doubt thatnatural selection is a mecha-nism, that it works. It has beenrepeatedly demonstrated byexperiment. The question ofwhether it produces newspecies is quite anothermatter. No one has everproduced a species by mecha-nisms of natural selection. Noone has ever gotten near it.And most of the currentargument in neo-Darwinism isabout this question: how aspecies originates and it isthere that natural selectionseems to be fading andchance mechanisms of onesort or another are beinginvoked.”

Questions for Evolutionists

The test of any theory is whether or not it provides answers tobasic questions. Some well-meaning but misguided people thinkevolution is a reasonable theory to explain man’s questions about theuniverse. Evolution is not a good theory—it is just a pagan religionmasquerading as science. The following questions were distributedto the 750-plus people who attended my debate at Winona StateUniversity in Winona, Minnesota, on January 9, 1993.

? Questions added since thedebate are marked with an asterisk (*).

1. Where did the space for the universe come from?2. Where did matter come from?3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia,

etc.)?4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?6. When, where, why, and how did life come from non-living

matter?7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction

reproduce?9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of

its kind since this would only make more mouths to feedand decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individualhave a drive to survive, or the species? How do you explainthe origin of reproduction?)

10. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code)create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining Englishletters will never produce Chinese books.)

11. Is it possible that similarities in design between differentanimals prove that they had a common designer instead ofa common ancestor?

12. Natural selection only works with the genetic informationavailable and tends only to keep a species stable. Howwould you explain the increasing complexity in the geneticcode that must have occurred if evolution were true?

13. When, where, why, and how dida. Single-celled plants become multi-celled?b. Two- and three-celled intermediates evolve?c. Single-celled animals evolve?d. Fish change to amphibians?e. Amphibians change to reptiles?f. Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes,

reproductive organs, heart, method of locomo-tion, body covering, etc., are all very different!)

g. Intermediate forms live?

Darwin’stheory and the fossilrecord are in conflict.”— David Berlinsky,Commentary,


After you answer the previous questions, please look carefullyat your answers and thoughtfully consider the following.

1. Are you sure your answers are reasonable, right, and scien-tifically provable, or do you just believe that it may havehappened the way you have answered? (Do these answersreflect your religion or your science?)

2. Do your answers show more or less faith than the personwho says, “God must have designed it”?

3. Is it possible that an unseen Creator designed this universe?If God is excluded at the beginning of the discussion by yourdefinition of science, how could it be shown that He didcreate the universe if He did?

4. Is it wise and fair to present the theory of evolution tostudents as fact since over 90% of the population believeGod created the universe?

5. What is the end result of a belief in evolution (lifestyle,society, attitude about others, eternal destiny, etc.)?

6. Do people accept evolution because of the following factors:a. It is all they have been taught?b. They like the freedom from God (no moral absolutes, etc.)?c. They are compelled to support the theory for fear of

losing their job, peer status or grade point average?d. They are too proud to admit they are wrong?e. Evolution is the only philosophy that can be used to

justify their political agenda?7. Should we continue to use outdated, disproved, question-

able, or inconclusive evidences to support the theory ofevolution because we don’t have a suitable substitute(Piltdown man, recapitulation, archaeopteryx, Lucy, Javaman, Neanderthal man, horse evolution, vestigial organs,etc.)?

8. Should parents be allowed to require that evolution not betaught as fact in their school system unless equal time isgiven to other theories of origins (like divine creation)?

9. What are you risking if you are wrong? As one of my debateopponents said, “Either there is a God or there is not. Bothpossibilities are frightening.”

10. Why are many evolutionists afraid of the idea ofcreationism being presented in public schools? If we are notsupposed to teach religion in schools, then why not getevolution out of the textbooks? It is just a religiousworldview.

11. Aren’t you tired of faith in a system that cannot be true?Wouldn’t it be great to know the God who made you, and toaccept His love and forgiveness?

12. Would you be interested to see from the Bible how to haveyour sins forgiven and how to know for sure that you aregoing to Heaven? If so, call us.

“One cannot be exposed tothe law and order of theuniverse without concludingthat there must be design andpurpose behind it all.... To beforced to believe only oneconclusion— that everything inthe universe happened bychance—would violate thevery objectivity of scienceitself.... They (evolutionists)challenge science to prove theexistence of God. But must wereally light a candle to see thesun? It is in scientific honestythat I endorse the presenta-tion of alternative theories forthe origin of the universe, lifeand man in the science class-room. It would be an error tooverlook the possibility thatthe universe was plannedrather than happening bychance.”

Possum, Redwood Tree, andKidney Bean: “OurAncestors”

A Spoof on the Evolution Theory

The theory of evolution teaches that living thingsare becoming more complex as time progresses.Because the chromosomes in living matter are one

of the most complex bits of matter inthe known universe, it would seem logical to

assume that organisms with the leastnumber of chromosomes were the firstones to evolve and those with themost chromosomes are the end resultof millions of years of evolutionexperimenting to increase complexity

in living organisms. From the chart,it is “obvious” that we all started offas penicillin with only 2 chromo-somes, and that we slowly evolved

into fruit flies. After many millions of years we turned into toma-toes (or house flies) and so on, until we reached the human stagewith 46 chromosomes. One of our ancestors must have been one ofthe identical triplets—possums, redwood trees, and kidneybeans—with 22 chromosomes each.

If we are allowed to continue evolving,we may someday be tobacco plants, andmaybe we may even become carp with100- or maybe even the ultimate life-form, a fern with chromosomes!

God madethis world and all life-forms, asrecorded in the Bible.

Points to Ponder About FloodSecond Peter 3:3-8 tells us that people who scoff at the Bible are

“willingly ignorant” of the creation and the Flood. In order tounderstand science and the Bible, we must not be ignorant of thosetwo great events in earth’s history.

1. Over 270 Flood legends* from all parts of the world have beenfound. Most have many similarities to the Genesis story.

3. Even using the small 18-inch cubit (My height is 6 ft. 1 in.and I have a 21-inch cubit), the ark was large enough to holdall the required animals, people, and food with room tospare.

4. The length-to-width ratio of 6 to 1 is what shipbuilders usetoday. This is the best ratio for stability in stormy weather.(God thinks of everything!)

5. The ark may have had a “moon-pool” in the center. Thelarger ships would have a hole in the center of the bottom ofthe boat with walls extending up into the ship. There areseveral reasons for this feature:

a. It allowed water to go up into the hole as the shipcrested waves, relieving strain on longer ships.

b. The rising and lowering water acted as a piston to pumpfresh air in and out of the ship. This would prevent thebuildup of dangerous gasses from all the animals onboard and supply fresh air.

c. The hole was a great place to dump garbage into theocean without going outside.

6. The ark may have had large drogue (anchor) stonessuspended over the sides to keep it more stable in roughweather. Many of these stones have been found in the regionwhere the ark landed (

7. Noah lived 950 years! Many Bible scholars believe the pre-Flood people were much larger than modern man. Skeletonsover 11 feet tall have been found! If Noah were taller, hiscubit (elbow to fingertip) would have been much larger also.This would make the ark larger by the same ratio (

2. Scoffers point out that 300-foot sailing ships leak. However,Noah’s ark was built only to float, not to sail anywhere.Many ark scholars believe that the ark was a “barge” shape,not a pointed “boat” shape. This would greatly increasecargo capacity.

8. God told Noah to bring two of each (seven of some),not of each or variety. Noah had only two of the dogkind which would later became the wolves, coyotes, foxes,mutts, etc. The “kind” grouping is probably closer to ourmodern family division in taxonomy and would greatlyreduce the number of animals on the ark. Animals havediversified into many varieties in the last 4,400 years sincethe Flood. This diversification is not anything similar togreat

9. Noah did not have to get the animals. God brought them tohim (Genesis 6:20, “shall come unto thee”). Also the pre-Flood world had more exposed land and less water.( Part #6)

10. Only land-dwelling, air-breathing animals with nostrils had tobe included on the ark (Genesis 7:15, 7:22). Noah did not needto take insects.

11. Many animals sleep, hibernate, or become very inactiveduring bad weather or confinement and therefore consumeless food.

• 12 All animals (and people) were vegetarians before and duringthe Flood according to Genesis 1:29-30 and Genesis 9:3.

• 13 The pre-Flood people were probably much smarter andmore advanced than people today. The longer lifespans,Adam’s pre-programmed mind and direct contact withGod, and the fact that they could glean the wisdom of manygenerations that were still alive would greatly expand theirknowledge base.

• 14 The Bible says that the highest mountains were covered by15 cubits of water. This is half the height of the ark. The arkwas safe from scraping bottom at all times. (Smart God!)

• 15 The large mountains, as we have them today, did not existuntil after the Flood when the mountains arose and thevalleys sank down (Psalms 104:5-9; Genesis 8:3-8).

• 16 There is enough water in the oceans right now to cover theearth 8,000 feet deep if the surface of the earth were smooth.

•17 Many claim to have seen the ark in recent times in the areain which the Bible says it landed. There are two primaryschools of thought about the actual site of the ark (

#3). Much energy and time has been expendedto prove both views. Some believe the ark is on Mt. Ararat,covered by snow (CBS showed a one-hour special in 1993about this site). The other group believes the ark isseventeen miles south of Mt. Ararat in a valley called “thevalley of eight” (8 souls on the ark). The Bible says the arklanded in the “mountains” of Ararat, not necessarily on themountain itself. (See www.wyattmuseum.com for this.)

18. The continents were not separated until 100-300 years afterthe Flood (Genesis 10:25). The people and animals had timeto migrate anywhere on earth by then (Part #6).

19. The top 3,000 feet of Mt. Everest (from 26,000-29,000 feet)is made up of sedimentary rock packed with seashells andother ocean-dwelling animals.

Battle PlanPractical Steps to Fight Evolution

Many thinking people will agree that the theory of evolution isdangerous and should have no place in the classroom. What shouldwe do to counter and combat this false teaching that is permeatingand ruining our society via our tax-supported institutions?

The theory of evolution, which is taught as a fact in our publicschool textbooks, tax-supported parks, museums, and publictelevision programs, is actually not a harmless theory but a danger-ous religious belief. I have dedicated my life to help people learn thetruth needed to expose evolutionism as being largely responsible formolding the thinking of hosts of people like Adolph Hitler, JosephStalin, Pol Pot of the Khmer in Cambodia, Margaret Sanger, andKarl Marx, who have caused untold suffering in our world.Evolution as it is being taught is dangerous for several reasons( Part #5).Creation Seminar

At stake is the credibility of Jesus.

Evolution is positively anti-science.

Real science, not evolution, should be taught

Government should not sponsor religion.

He cited Genesistwenty-five times and said the creation of Adam was “thebeginning” (Matthew 19:4). Evolution and creation repre-sent worldviews that are polar opposites—one of them iswrong! Also at stake are the morals of our children, becauseif evolution is true, there are no moral absolutes and only thestrongest have a right to survive. If evolution is true, abor-tion, euthanasia, pornography, genocide, homosexuality,adultery, incest, etc., are all permissible.

Science deals withthings that are testable, observable, and demonstrable; andevolution has none of those qualities. To call evolution“science” is to confuse fairy tales with facts. True, evolutionhas been mixed with science for the last 140 years, but thatdoes not mean that it is the same as science. Beer is oftenadvertised during sporting events but the two subjects haveno logical connection and evolution has no more to do withscience than beer has to do with sports.

in thescience classes. Teaching the pagan religion of evolutionismis a waste of valuable class time and textbook space. It is alsoone of the reasons American kids don’t test as well in scienceas kids in other parts of the world.

The Blind Men andthe Atheists (1990)

Two blind men arguedinto the night

About the great question:“Is there really sight?”

Said one to the other(and quite fervently),

“There cannot be colorsor else we could see!

So take red and greenand blue off the list.

If I cannot see them,they must not exist.

A crazy man told methe sky is bright blue.

I listened intently,but I caught no clue

Of anything out thereto alter my mind.

I’m not deaf, you know;I hear perfectly fine.

Be quiet and listen,and then you will know

That colors aren’t real—How dare they say so!

They tell me that grassis some sort of green.

It looks like the rest ofthe world that I’ve seen!

It tastes a lot differentthan jelly or cheese.

If I smell it too long,it sure makes me sneeze.

But to say that it’s green?I’d have to say no.

I will not believe ituntil I have seen.

There isn’t a difference‘twixt red, blue, or green!

And so the men arguedwith all of their might,

And I couldn’t show themthat they were not right.

They cannot see colorsbecause they are blind!

So I couldn’t getthe truth in their minds.

Until they are given the great giftof sight,

Never, not ever will they “see thelight.”

should all taxpayers support one religion over all others inour schools? Efforts must be made on all fronts to informpeople that evolution is only a religion and that tax-supported institutions should not teach it as fact.

All our efforts to stem the tide of moral decay in our land arefutile unless God leads and supports our cause. The most importantthing anyone can do to help fix the problem is to obey2 Chronicles 7:14 — “If my people, which are called by my name,shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn fromtheir wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgivetheir sin, and will heal their land.”

Most importantly, ask God to give youwisdom (James 1:5) and direction about what He wouldhave you do in His service. Jesus told us that we are to be the“salt of the earth.” Salt preserves from corruption. One ofour jobs is to preserve this world from corruption; if we donot preserve, we are worthless (Matthew 5:13).

God called us to win souls, not causes. Thegreat commission (Matthew 28:19-20, Mark 16:l5, andActs 1:8) commands us to preach, baptize, and teach peoplewhat Jesus taught His disciples. While there is nothingwrong with working for a cause (1 Samuel 17:29),Christians have a strong tendency to major on minors andminor on majors; we need to keep priorities in order. Thebattle raging for the minds of men is a battle between Godand the Devil. The people who (knowingly or unknow-ingly) are working for the Devil are not the real enemy.There is a tendency among Christians to not keep the sinseparate from the sinner. However, we can still use theadvice given by Abraham Lincoln: “The best way to get ridof an enemy is to make him your friend.” When dealingwith evolutionists, our job is to love them and to keep asweet spirit while trying to influence them to be saved. Aswe win people to Christ, they will begin to have their mindrenewed and will see that God’s Word is true. Our bestoffensive weapon is soul winning—converted evolutionistsmake great creationists! Most of the active creation scien-tists are former evolutionists. If we obey Christ and “preachthe gospel to every creature,” we will see great results.

Two atheists argued(on university sod)

About the great question,“Is there really a God?”

Said one to the other(and quite fervently),

“There can’t be a God orelse we could see.

So take that old Bible andGod off the list.

If I cannot see Him,He must not exist.

Be quiet and listen,and then you will know,

That God is not real—how dare they say so!

A crazy man told meGod lives up in Heaven;

I used to believe thatwhen I was just seven.

But now that I’m olderand wiser, you see;

I will not believe it,you can’t prove it to me.

I cannot sense God withsight, taste, or smell.

I do not believe in aHeaven or Hell!

I’ve never heard Godor felt him at all;

If He’s really up there,I wish He would call.“

I said, “Listen fellows,you’re spiritually blind.

You’ve only fiveentrances into your mind

That limits your input;I wish you could see,

You can’t fathom Godor eternity.

There are lots of thingsthat really are real.

It doesn’t disprovebecause you can’t ‘feel.’

So you two can arguethe rest of the night.

There’s no way to show youthat you are not right.

When you get to Heaven(or Hell if you please),

You’ll understand Godand fall on your knees!

I wish you could see Himor hear Him somehow.

But that isn’t possiblewhere you are now.

To deny His existenceis really absurd.

You’ll have to believe Himand trust in His Word.

— Kent Hovind

Don’t get discouraged! “Be not weary in well doing” (2Thessalonians 3:13). “Evil men and seducers shall waxworse and worse” (2 Timothy 3:13). “The battle is theLord’s” (1 Samuel 17:47). Our job is to be faithful until theLord takes us out of this world. When the events of thisworld start to get you discouraged, read Psalm 2. The Devilmay have his plans, but God in Heaven will laugh! Thoughwe have worked for several years to get the textbookschanged, all that we have done so far is to keep the subjectbefore the people. We have had no visible effect on thetextbooks. It is our job to do right; God will take it fromthere.

Often people are motivated to do something, but they don’t haveenough knowledge of the subject to be effective. Many good bookshave been written to help people learn the truth about creation andevolution. A list of some of these books is included in the annotatedbibliography of this notebook. Also important is to becomeinformed about the “new world order” and the persecution that willcome to Christians in America unless the Lord returns soon.

We need more godly politicians, schoolboard members, etc. to get involved in the political aspect ofour great Republic while still possible. Students and parentsinvolved in public schools need to know that they havemany rights. Here are some good books on the subject whichwill be a great help to parents and students in learning whatone can and cannot do for the Lord in his or her publicschool.

It has been our privilege to travel andspeak (more than 800 times each year) in public and privateschools, university debates, churches, camps, and radio andtelevision talk shows on the subjects of creation, evolution,and dinosaurs. It is our studied opinion that the Bible is theinfallible, inspired, inerrant Word of the living God. Thefacts from science are clear; the entire universe was createdby an all-wise Creator only a few thousand years ago. Theoriginal creation was perfect and very different than it istoday. In the original creation, plants and animals livedlonger and grew much bigger than they do currently (seeGenesis 1:6-7; 5; 6:4; Part #2). In ourseminars, we present many scientific evidences that the

Students often call for advice on how to handle varioussituations at school where they are being forced to learnthings contrary to their beliefs on creation. If we can be ofany help, please feel free to call or write.

Please understand, when we talk about evolution weare not referring to simple variations that occur in anyspecies. Dogs produce a variety of puppies, but never willdogs produce hamster or pine-tree offspring! Creationistsdo not argue that all dogs, wolves, and foxes may not havehad a common ancestor, nor do they argue that naturalselection does not occur. These would both be truewhether plants and animals were created or evolved.However, real evolution, as presented in the textbooks,teaches that dogs share a common ancestor with pine trees!While anyone is certainly welcome to believe what hewants to believe, no intelligent person can say that evolu-tion is real science, because evolution is not observable,testable, or demonstrable. Our argument is not withscience, but with evolution being improperly incorporatedinto science, where it has no place.

Everyone has a circle of people they can influence. At activitiessuch as birthday parties, neighborhood Bible classes, Sunday schoolclass parties, etc., you can show creation videos, have a creationspeaker, or play games that teach the truth about dinosaurs andcreation. You can also help private or home schools with your time,energy, and money. Come and visit Dinosaur Adventure Land forideas and bring a group.

(secular or Christian). A great way to reachpeople with the truth is to have your local radio or TV stationcontact us for an interview or call-in talk show on creation,evolution, dinosaurs, or the teaching in public schools. Secularstations are often glad to get controversial guests. We fre-quently do radio interviews by phone and would be honoredto appear on a program in your area. Local-access cable TVstations are usually willing to air our DVDs.

“When [the devil]speaketh a lie, he speaketh ofhis own: for he is a liar, andthe father of it.”— John 8:44

The word “Evolution” hasmany meanings, only one ofwhich is scientific:1. Cosmic evolution—the

origin of time, space andmatter; big bang.

2. Chemical evolution—theorigin of higher elementsfrom hydrogen.

3. Stellar and planetaryevolution—origin of starsand planets.

4. Organic evolution—originof life. Spontaneousgeneration.

5. Macroevolution—changingfrom one kind of animalinto another.

6. Microevolution—variationswithin kinds. Only this onehas been observed andtherefore qualifies asscience.

Help teachers and school board members do right.

Review the textbook selections.

Mostteachers, principals, board members, etc., involved in thepublic school system are sincere, dedicated professionals whowant what is best for students. Often they face enormouspressure from small but vocal groups making them feel theyare in the battle alone. Informed Christians can help byattending school board meetings, giving good creationistliterature to these people and inviting them to creationlectures. Donate good books about creation science to yourschool’s library.

Learn the real (radical) agenda of the National EducationAssociation (NEA), encourage public school teachers thatyou know to get out of the NEA and join alternative teach-ers’ unions.

Of the fifty Americanstates, twenty-two have a state textbook-selection com-mittee, a group of people who look at the books availablefrom all publishers for a given subject and then select five orsix that they "approve." The list is then given to the localselection committee in each county. The county textbook-selection committee will normally display the books for afew weeks, giving parents a chance to review them. Afterthe committee decides which book to recommend, theschool board votes to purchase that book for use in thecounty schools. Often the books are selected on a rotatingbasis, with a different subject being chosen each year. In thestates without a state-level committee, each county, ordistrict, or teacher may choose their own textbooks.

Any person in the county may review the books andmake comments at the school board meeting. I wouldsuggest that informed Christians in each county getinvolved in the selection process. The Gablers, fineChristian people, have provided information to help in thetextbook-selection process, working on a donation basis forforty years. Mel Gabler has gone to be with the Lord. Hislegacy lives on through the work of a team dedicated toanalyzing textbooks according to his standards.

There are four great questions that man tries to answer in life.These are called the great philosophical questions.

The way you answer them depends upon the way youview the world.

There are two ways to look at the world. Some people look atthe world and say, “You know, it's amazing, a big bang made thisworld from nothing!” This view is the humanist worldview, whichsays man is God. Humanism is the philosophy from which the ideaof evolution comes, believing that there is no Creator—no God.

The second way to view the world is that since there is anincredible design, there must have been a designer. This is thecreationist worldview which says God is God; man is not God.These two worldviews are absolutely at war with each other.

How do we answer the four great questions of life? If evolutionis true, we are nothing important. Actually, we are a bit ofprotoplasm that washed up on a beach after a big bang about 20billion years ago. There is no purpose in life; so we might as wellhave fun. If it feels good—do it. After all, we are just going to endup in a grave to get recycled into a worm or a plant.

But the Bible says, “In the beginning God created the heaven andthe earth.” If that is true, we have a whole different set of answersto those four questions. God’s creation of the world means that wehad better find out who He is and what He wants. We were createdin His image with a responsibility to obey Him. When we die, ourchoice in life will determine where we will spend eternity—in Hell,separated from God, or in Heaven with Him.

Who am I?

Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going

when I die?

PhysicsThe First Law of Thermodynamics

The Second Law of Thermodynamics

The first law of thermodynamics states that matter and

energy can neither be created nor destroyed

something

cannot come from

nothing.

The second law of thermodynamics simply states that

everything tends toward disorder.

although theymay be converted from one form to another. This natural processcan be seen in the world around us. Ice melting is one example ofmatter changing from one form to another, a solid into a liquid.The ice may change physical properties, but the mass before thereaction remains constant with the mass after the reaction. Thislaw supports the biblical view of creation, requiring a specialmiracle from God to account for all the matter and energy in theuniverse. Evolutionattempts to credit thebig bang with thismiracle while denyingthat it violates themost basic law of theuniverse—

If a truck carrying a stack ofbricks hits a bump in the road causing the bricks to fall off, thebricks would not fall in their previously ordered state. They wouldfall randomly; and entropy would increase, illustrating the secondlaw of thermodynamics. The Bible describes the second law asextending from the earth to the heavens in Psalm 102:25-26, Isaiah51:6, and Hebrews 1:10-11. Evolutionists contrive silly excuses andreasons to ignore this fundamental law of physics because it contra-dicts their pet theory.

Evolutionists assume thatadding energy (open system)will overcome the second lawof thermodynamics.

1. The universe is a closedsystem.

2. Adding energy isdestructive without acomplex mechanism toharness the energy.

The Japanese added lots ofenergy to Pearl Harbor in1941 and did not organizeany thing.

The sun’s energy willdestroy a roof, house, paintjob...

Only a very complexmolecule called chlorophyllcan harness the sun’s energy.One cell of a leaf is morecomplex than a city.

The evolutionist’s “opensystem” excuse to believe t

does notapply to earth is silly.

hesecond law ofthermodynamics

Everything we observe inthe universe verifies the lawsof thermodynamics. Theuniverse is wearing down, notwinding up.


The Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum

The law of conservation of angular momentum describes the

tendency of a spinning object to continue spinning in the

same direction. Just as something traveling along a path tends tostay moving in that direction (linear momentum), the same is truefor a spinning object—it continues to spin in the same direction. Asan example, children riding on a merry-go-round have angularmomentum. Given sufficient speed, a child that jumps from themerry-go-round will travel in a straight line but will be spinning inthe same direction as the merry-go-round. This scientific lawcontradicts the big bang theory which proposes that a spinningcosmic explosion started the universe into its evolutionary process.If the big bang were true, all the planets should be spinning in thesame direction today.

Venus, Uranus, andpossibly Pluto rotatebackwards from the other sixplanets.

In fact,although the sun has over 99% of themass of the solar system, it has only2% of the angular momentum. Thispattern is directly opposite to thepattern predicted for the nebularhypothesis.”

Evidence for a YoungUniverse

Galaxies

Red Giants

Jupiter and Saturn

If spiral galaxies were billions of years old, the arms extendingfrom their centers would have completely closed, causing thegalaxies to lose their unique spiral shape.

Evolutionists teach that red giant stars change into white dwarfstars over millions of years; yet Sirius is an example of a red starbecoming white within the past 2,000 years. Ancient astronomersrecorded that Sirius glowed red in the sky, yet now it is categorizedas white. Obviously, the evolutionists’ opinions of the length oftime to change a red giant star into a white dwarf star are incorrect.

These two planets radiate more heat than they receive from thesun. If they were billions of years old, both planets would havereached equilibrium and no longer be able to lose more heat thanthey receive.

Egyptian hieroglyphsfrom 2000 BC describedSirius as red.

Cicero, in 50 BC, statedSirius was red.

Seneca described Sirius asbeing redder than Mars.

Ptolemy listed Sirius as oneof the six red stars inAD 150.

Today it is a white star-binary.

Moon and Tides

Comets

The earth and the moon are inextricably linked via their mutualgravitational pull. The moon’s primary effect on the earth is that oftides. These twice-daily tides inflict a barely perceptible drag on theearth’s rotation, causing the earth’s natural day to lengthen and themoon’s orbit to recede. Because both gravitational forces andfriction loss can be computed and predicted mathematically, we candetermine how close the moon could orbit before resulting in lunardestruction or eradication of life on earth. With this in mind, theearth/moon relationship could not possibly be more than 1.2 billionyears old, and geologic evidence indicates that it is much younger.

Theprinciple in which intensity, suchas gravitational pull, and distanceare directly proportional to eachother. For example, if the distanceis divided in half, the attraction isquadrupled (4 times).

Composed of frozen gasses and small rocks, comets lose mate-rial when their orbit takes them close to the sun. The vapor pro-duced gives the appearance of a tail, often the recognizable featureof a comet. A comet's life is rela-tively short, falling between anestimated 100 to 200 orbits aroundthe sun. The frequency of cometshas consistently decreased throughthe years, alluding to a muchyounger universe than textbooksdescribe.

Earth's Slowing Rotation

A is approximately4,300 years old—dated via tree rings. Themethod may not be perfect, but it is thebest we have for dating trees.

The is less than4,200 years old—dated via measuring thegrowth rate for 20 years.

Even though both are less than 5,000 years old, they are the twooldest-living organisms on earth. Their ages easily fit thecreationist point of view, but leave loose ends for the evolutionist.

’ ? With the evolutionisttimeline, surely something is closer in age to their “millions ofyears.”

Evolution doesn’t fit the facts, does it?

Prevailing winds arecaused by two phenomena.The sun’s heat causesnorth-south or south-northwinds , depending onlatitude. The rotation ofthe earth causes the windst o s h i f t e a s t o rwest—clockwise north oft h e e q u a t o r a n dcounterclockwise to thesouth. Thisis proportional to the speedof the earth’s rotation: thegreater the rotational speed,the greater the Corioliseffect. Due to these prevailing winds, the Sahara Desert is in theprocess of desertification, expanding approximately four miles peryear. Calculations based upon the rate of the Sahara’s expansionshow the desert to be 4,000 years old. This young age of the SaharaDesert fits quite well in the creationist timeline, beginning itsdesertification process soon after the global Flood.

Following theevolutionist timeline over a periodof millions of years, the SaharaDesert should have alreadyexpanded to its maximum size.However, s ince the earth’srotational speed is decreasingmeasurably, the Coriolis effectwould have been far greater millionsof years ago, exacerbating theevolutionists’ difficulty explainingthe Sahara Desert’s young age.

Fast-Eroding Niagara Falls

Salt in the Oceans

After Charles Lyell published his in the1830s, society began accepting the theory that the earth andmankind evolved from a previous lesser state. Lyell used NiagaraFalls as one of his illustrations to promote uniformitarianism. Heestimated that Niagara Falls was 10,000 years old. He did this to tryto discredit the Bible. Skeptics like Lyell leave out one importantfactor in their calculations - a worldwide Flood, approximately4,400 years ago.

Factoring a worldwide Flood into the equation, scientists arriveat a higher initial erosion rate for the 7 ½ mile Niagara Gorge. Sincean increase in the quantity of water is directly related to the rate oferosion, the great volume of water receding after the Flood couldeasily account for half of the erosion of Niagara Falls. Using theevolutionist time frame, Niagara Falls should have already erodedback into Lake Erie. The reason why Niagara Falls has not erodedfarther over the "millions of years" of the earth's existence continuesto elude evolutionists.

Science always seems to correspond with the creation timelinewhile evolutionists struggle to make their assumptions andtheories plausible.

Principles of Geology

The water in theoceans contains 3.6%dissolved minerals,giving the ocean itss a l i n i t y . S a l t ,c o m p o s e d o f t h eelements sodium andchlorine, is the primarymineral. For years,scientists have beenmeasuring the amountof sodium in the oceans and have found that an estimated 457million tons are deposited into the oceans annually, while only 122million tons leave the ocean via numerous methods.

Given the current amount of salt in the oceans, the datastrongly favors a recent creation and global Flood. If applied to theevolutionist's time frame of millions of years, the oceans would besaturated by salt. Even using liberal estimates of salinity levels, themaximum possible age is 62 million years.

The Evolutioner“Ice Core Proves Old Earth”Denver, Col.—It's official: A startling new study by

researchers from the National Ice Core Laboratory

(NICL) confirm what evolutionists have been claiming

for years—the earth is thousands of years old at the least!

After an extensive study of a 10,000-foot ice core, a

spokesperson announced that samples taken from Greenland

contain 135,000 consecutive annual rings, or layers. These

winter/summer sequences prove that the earth is much older

than the 6,000 years Creationists believe.

“Layers Not Annual”

Greenland—Ice core analysis was proven invalid with the

completed excavation ofone of the fighter planes

that crash landed in Greenland during WWII. Discovered under

263 feet of ice and snow after only 42 years, the WWII aircraft

clearly invalidated analysts' proposal that ice core layers result

from annual weather variations.

Dr. Larry Vardiman stated, "…the ice sheet [above the

aircraft] has been accumulating at an average rate of five feet per

year." With approximately five feet of ice layers forming each

year, scientists have found that weather variations cause ice

layering, not just dramatic annual weather changes of summer

and winter.

“The Greenland ice sheet averages almost 4000 feet thick,"

Dr. Vardiman explained. "If we were to assume the ice sheet has

been accumulating at this rate since the beginning, it would take

less than 1000 years for it to form and the recent-creation model

might seem to be vindicated.”

Ice Core Evidence

Just because Mr. Spark’sreligion (of evolution) hap-pens to be included in thisgeneration’s science textbooksdoes not mean it qualifies asscience or that it becomesscience by association.

“In Greenland andAntarctica, where the weatheris consistently dry and verycold, the glaciers are milesthick but the annual rings arevery thin.

The deepest cores canmeasure over 10,000 feet,cores from Greenland drilledsince 1990 show the northernclimate was erratic... 135,000years ago.”


Strata and Their Age

Q:

A:

I've never understood polystrate fossils. Aren't they evidence ofevolution with all the different layers of strata they go through?

Since the proposal of the idea of uniformity by Charles Lyell inthe early 1800s, geologists have struggled to explain polystrate fossils.A polystrate fossil is a fossil encased not in a single layer of strata but inmultiple layers. Uniformity, advocating that the "present is the key tothe past," describes each layer being laid down over extensive periodsof time. The problem with each layer taking so long to form is thatmost fossils found in these layers would have decayed prior to theforming of the next layer. Some examples that confirm the idea ofrapid fossilization are as follows:

1. Fossil of ichthyosaur, buried and fossilized while giving birth

2. Petrified trees are found in scores of places around the world.

3. Polystrate trees found in France upside down extendingthrough many layers

Polystrate fossils are found extending through multiple layers ofsediment. Many trees have been found fossilized in a verticalposition through layers of coal, sandstone, and other sediments.Certainly, the trees would have decayed if millions of years hadoccurred between the different strata.

Geologists fail to accept that the only reasonable explanation ofpolystrate fossils is that the layers formed quickly around plant andanimal life before they had time to decay. Seems to correspond withthe biblical account of the worldwide Flood, doesn't it?

The Nature ofStratigraphical Record


Rapid Cave Formation

Although most people believe that cave formations needmillions of years to develop, stalactites and stalagmites grow ratherquickly. Stalactites, recognized because they "stick tight" to theceiling of most limestone caves, are deposits of calcium carbonateformed by the dripping of mineralized solutions As the mineraldeposits build up on the cave floor, stalagmites are formed.Occasionally, the connecting of the two will create a columnextending from floor to ceiling.

The monitoring of many stalactites and stalagmites within thelast century has shown the rate of growth to be much faster thanthe rate taught in many textbooks. Stalactites over five feet longhave been found in the basement of the Lincoln Memorial, built in1923, as well as some more than a foot long under bridges inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania.

Stalagmites grow somewhat slower than stalactites; but theystill do not take thousands of years to form. In 1953, MasonSutherland published a photograph in National Geographic of a batthat had fallen on a stalagmite in the Carlsbad Caverns, NewMexico. The bat was covered and preserved before it coulddecompose, proving the rapid growth rate of some stalagmites.

Much more evidenceexists for fast-growings t a l a c t i t e s a n dstalagmites (

Part #1), yettextbooks and nationalparks continue to teachthat they take countlessthousands of years toform. Using a rapidgrowth rate, these caveformations could easilyfit the biblical time lineafter the worldwideFlood 4,400 years ago.U n f o r t u n a t e l y ,evolutionary scientistsstruggle to keep thebiblical time line out ofs c i e n c e ; a l t h o u g hscience, time after time,falls right into step withit.

Rapid Fossilization

Although evolutionists have repeatedly presented fossilsas evidence for an earth millions of years old, creationists,using the same fossils and an opposing interpretation,conclude they are evidence for a young earth. As the remainsof plants and animals are covered by sediment, fossils arecreated. The compressed remains are preserved and convertedinto minerals, leaving an imprint in stone. In order for anorganism to be fossilized, the remains must be coveredquickly; otherwise, the natural decaying process begins.

Evolutionists believe the principle of uniformity, implyingthat small changes over extended periods of time broughtabout significant changes. They have long used fossils toargue for their supposed old age of the earth's strata.However, fossils form quickly under special conditionsinvolving rapid, immediate burial in mud just like Noah’sFlood would have provided.

Rapid fossilization, promoted by biblical creation, easilyexplains the existence of fossils. Because of local flooding andvolcanic activity around the world, not every fossil can bedated back to Noah's day. However, there are many fossils,such as polystrate fossils, that can only be explained by aworldwide Flood. As the waters were “going and returning”(Genesis 8), great amounts of sediment began to settle intolayers. This event allowed ample time for the remains of manyplants, animals, and humansto be buried quickly andfossilized. Rapid fossilizationscientifically answers thequestions as to how fossils areformed; and theories made tothe contrary will always leavemore questions than answers.

"Deposits of recent mudflows on Mount St. Helensdemonstrate conclusively thatstumps can be transportedand deposited upright. Theseobservations support theconclusions that some verticaltrees in the Yellowstone 'fossilforests' were transported in ageologic situation directlycomparable to that of MountSt. Helens."

The Bible and the Value of �

Does the Bible contain a mathematical error?

The answer is so simple!

Check for yourself.

Rest assured.

First Kings 7:23–26 and Second Chronicles 4:2–5 describe a hugebrass bowl (sea) built by King Solomon. If the diameter of this bowlwas 10 cubits, then the circumference should have been31.415926...cubits, not just 30 cubits! Any math student will tellyou that the circumference of a circle is found by taking the diame-ter times pi ( ). This apparent mathematical error caused me, as anew Christian, to doubt the accuracy of the Bible.

The diameter of 10 cubits is from outer rim to outer rim, theway anyone would measure a circular object. The circumference of30 cubits, however, was of the inner circle, after subtracting thethickness of the brass (two handbreadths—one for each side) fromwhich the bowl was made. This would be the number needed tocalculate the volume of water.

Substitute the length of your cubit (elbow to longest fingertip)for the letter C in the following formula, and solve for H(handbreadth).

30C

God makes no mistakes, mathematical or otherwise. TheScriptures do not contain error. By the way, Solomon built this seain 1000 BC, long before the Greeks rediscovered pi ( ). We may notunderstand some things at first glance, but the problem is with us,not with the Bible. Please be sure you are on the solid foundation ofGod’s Word, saved by the blood of Christ.

A second way to solve this supposed contradiction has also beenproposed. Since the Bible says the sea had a lip like the brim of a cup,the ten cubit measurement may have included the lip while thecircumference be around the bowl without the lip.

�

� �

�

+ 2H = 10C

The width of your handbreadth will be the result. For example,my cubit is 20 inches long. If I had built the brass bowl, the innerdiameter would have a circumference of 600 inches (30 x 20 inches)and a diameter of 190.986 inches (600 inches 3.14159). Thedifference between the two diameters is 9.014 inches (two of myhandbreadths).

�

“And he made a molten sea,ten cubits from the one brim tothe other: it was round all about,and his height was five cubits:and a line of thirty cubits didcompass it round about.

And under the brim of itround about there were knopscompassing it, ten in a cubit,compassing the sea round about:the knops were cast in two rows,when it was cast.

It stood upon twelve oxen,three looking toward the north,and three looking toward thewest, and three looking towardthe south, and three lookingtoward the east: and the sea wasset above upon them, and alltheir hinder parts were inward.

And it was an hand breadththick, and the brim thereof waswrought like the brim of a cup,with flowers of lilies: it containedtwo thousand baths.”— I Kings 7:23-26

Contradictions in the Bible?

Here is the solution.

Do Genesis chapters 1 and 2 conflict? Many scoffers claim thatthe Bible is full of contradictions. They will nearly always citeGenesis 1 and 2 as examples.

1. Genesis 1:11 has the trees made on day three before man;Genesis 2:8 has the trees made on day six after man.

2. Genesis 1:20 has birds made out of the water on day five;Genesis 2:19 has birds made out of the ground (after man) onday six.

3. Genesis 1:24, 25 has the animals made on day six before man;Genesis 2:19 has the animals made on day six after man.

.

A careful reading of the two chapters will show the solution foreach of the supposed contradictions.

a. Chapter 1 tells the entire story in the order it happened.b. Genesis 2:4–6 gives a quick summary of the first five days of

creation.c. Genesis 2:7–25 is describing only the events that took place

on day six in the Garden of Eden.d. The trees described in Genesis 2:8, 9 are only in the Garden

(the rest of the world is already full of trees from day three). Thepurpose of this second creation of trees may have been to let Adamsee that God did have power to create, that He was not just takingcredit for the existing world. Notice that the second creation of treeswas still on day six and was only those trees that are “pleasant to thesight and good for food.”

The birds created out of the ground on day six are only one ofeach “kind” so that Adam can name them and select a wife. The restof the world is full of birds from day five.

Genesis 2:19 is describing only the animals created in theGarden, after man. The purpose of this second batch of animalsbeing created was so that Adam could name them (Genesis 2:19)and select a wife (Genesis 2:20). Adam did not find a suitable one(God knew he wouldn’t), so God made Eve (Genesis 2:21–22).

There are no contradictions between these two chapters.Chapter 2 only describes in more detail the events in the Garden ofEden on day six. If ancient man had written the Bible (as somescoffers say), he would never have made it say that the light wasmade before the sun! Many ancient cultures worshiped the sun asthe source of life. God is light. God made the light before He made

the sun so we could see that

Hitler’s Hit List

Species Blood Mixture

In Vienna from 1900 to 1918, a renegade Catholic monk, AdolfLanz (nom de plume Lanz von Liebenfels), gave the Manichaeancosmology a secular form. In preaching to his sect, The New Orderof Templars, in his monthly journal Ostara and in his bookTheozoology, Lanz taught that in the beginning there had been twoearthly races: the Aryan Heroes (Asings) and the Animal People(Apes). The Aryans were the earthly equivalent of the Manichaeanlight; they had been a divine race endowed with supremely intelli-gent, electronic minds, blond, blue-eyed beauty, and creativity.

The Animal People were the worldly counterparts of theManichaean darkness; they had been a demonic race cursed withstupidity (except in the art of deception, in which they excelled),gorilla-like ugliness, and the urge to destroy. At some early time, theApes began to envy and hate the Asings. They pondered methods ofdestroying the Aryans and decided to attack the superior racethrough miscegenation. Conveniently, the Aryan women had afatal susceptibility to the Apes. (Lanz insisted that the story of thetemptation of Eve in Genesis was an esoteric account of her seduc-tion by one of the monsters.) After several centuries of such inter-breeding, the original Asings and Animals disappeared. Now theearth was populated by mixed races, which could be ranked ashigher or lower according to the proportions of Aryan and Apeblood that they possessed, approximately as follows:

Nordic ..................................... Close to pure Aryan

Germanic.............Predominantly Aryan

Mediterranean ..... Slight Aryan preponderance

Slavic Aryan, half Ape

Oriental....................................................Slight Ape preponderance

Black African.......................................................Predominantly Ape

Four Types of Workers#1

#2

#3

#4

.Sees a job and does it

Asks what job to do next.

Must be asked to do a job.

Must be found and asked to do a job.

Observations:

This kind of worker always becomes aboss or business owner and makes big bucks. The best workers do ajob swiftly, cheerfully, humbly, and thoroughly. They are usually veryhappy and fulfilled in life. “Even a child is known by his doings,whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.” “Prepare thy workwithout, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards buildthine house”( Prov. 20:11; 24:27).

This kind of worker is rare, but isnever out of work. The boss loves to have some of these people workingfor him.

This kind of worker is the mostcommon. He never excels in the job market and usually gripes aboutbeing overlooked when promotions are made. Some of these employeeswill work cheerfully (Type A) and some not cheerfully (Type B).

This kind of workergets minimum wage and never holds a job long. He is unhappy inlife but cannot figure out why. “How long wilt thou sleep, Osluggard? when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?” “The soul of thesluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligentshall be made fat”( Prov. 6:9; 13:4).

If you are always being told what to do, youare not a number one or two worker! The number three and numberfour workers often worsen with age. Each group can be furtherdivided into sub-categories, based on the person’s ability andknowledge of the job. Some are eager to work but do not know whatto do. God wants all of His children, to the best of their ability, todevelop the talents He has given them.

Carbon-14 CalibrationCurve: How Carbon Dating Is

Supposed to Work

Radiocarbon dating was invented by Willard Libby in theearly 1950s at the University of Chicago. While not totallyuseless, dating methods are overrated. Willard Libby said thatcarbon dating

Cosmic radiation strikes our atmosphere, changing theelement Nitrogen (N-14) to Carbon 14 (C-14). This C-14 isradioactive (can be detected by a Geiger counter). This radioac-tive carbon is mixed in with the normal carbon in the atmo-sphere, generally in the form of carbon dioxide (CO ).

Plants take in carbon dioxide and make it part of their tissue.Animals eat the plants and the CO becomes part of their bodytissue. When the plant or animal dies, it stops taking in new CO .

Radioactive carbon is very rare in the environment today(only .0000765%) and becomes even more rare as it decays intosimpler components. About half of the C-14 will break down(decay) into simpler components in about 5,730 years. This iscalled the half-life of C-14. In two “half-lives” (11,460 years),only one fourth of the original C-14 will still be in an object.By using the number of clicks on the Geigercounter as a guide, scientists should be able todetermine the age of an object. Because theatmosphere today will produce about 16clicks per minute for each gram of carbon,the Geiger counter should click 8 times perminute if a sample is 5,730 years old and 4clicks per minute if it is 11,460 years old.

While carbon-14 dating sounds goodso far, several faulty assumptions, which arelisted on the following page, underlie theprocedure. Most of the other radiometricdating methods use the same faultyassumptions.

was only accurate for objects a few thousandyears old.

“A geologist at the BerkeleyGeochronology Center, [Carl]Swisher uses the mostadvanced techniques to datehuman fossils. Last spring hewas re-evaluating

skulls found in Java inthe 1930s by testing thesediment he found with them. Ahominid species assumed to bean ancestor of“Erectus” was thought to havevanished some 250,000 yearsago. But even though he usedtwo different dating methods,Swisher kept making the samestartling find: the bones were53,000 years old at most andpossibly no more than 27,000years, a stretch of timecontemporaneous with modernhumans.”

Wrong AssumptionsIn C-14 Dating Methods

1. Atmospheric C-14 is in equilibrium.

2. Decay rate remains constant.

3. Initial amounts of C-14 can be known.

4. The sample being tested has not been contaminated for

thousands of years.

5. The geologic column can be used as a base to calibrate

the C-14 dates.

This assumption iswrong. It has been estimated that the C-14 in the earth’s atmo-sphere would reach equilibrium (the formation rate would be equalto the decay rate) in about 30,000 years. The amount of C-14 in theatmosphere is still increasing. This research indicates a young earth(probably less than 10,000 years).

The same research also modifies all dates obtained by C-14decay. As the earth’s magnetic field decays, more cosmic radiationpenetrates our atmosphere. On a Geiger counter, 16 clicks perminute per gram (16DPM/Gc) is typical in living objects today.Plants and animals that lived on the earth four thousand years agowould have had much less C-14in their body to start with. The lowamount of C-14 would make them appear to be thousands of yearsolder than they really are. Several factors can affect the rate of C-14formation. The 11-year solar sunspot cycle is one such factor.

Many times this assump-tion has been shown to be uncertain. Because the rate of decay maynot be constant, dates obtained by C-14 may be accepted, but onlywith caution.

Many times thisassumption has been demonstrated to be wrong. Different parts ofthe same sample often yield different ratios. Various living samplesgive very different ratios. Some items will not be tested with carbondating even though they contain carbon (see number 5 below).Would a mollusk have the same amount of C-14 per gram of carbonas a tree? Probably not. Living penguins have been carbon dated at8,000 years old! The oldest sample of independently known age isHemaka, the Egyptian mummy from 2700–3100 BC. (Secularwriters of antiquity tend to exaggerate ages, so even these dates aresuspect.)

This assumption is very difficult (if notimpossible) to prove. Parent or daughter products may have leachedin or out of the sample. Many lab tests have confirmed that this canhappen.

This assumption is not wise. The ages applied tothe geologic column (invented in the 1800s to discredit the Bible) donot exist anywhere in the world except in textbooks. Poly-stratafossils, missing layers, layers out of order, misplaced fossils, andlayers in reverse order all invalidate the geologic column (Creation

Seminar ).Parts #4 - 6

Living penguins have beencarbon dated as being 8,000years old! (See FrequentlyAsked Questions (

for more wild datesobtained by carbon dating.)

yellowsection)

At least six different radio-metric dating methods areavailable. The assumed age ofthe sample will dictate whichdating method is usedbecause each will give adifferent result.

For example: When dinosaurbones containing carbon arefound, they are carbondated because the resultwould indicate only a fewthousand years old. Becausethis would not match theassumed age based on thegeologic column, scientists useanother method of dating togive an age closer to thedesired result. All radiometricresults that do not match thepreassigned ages of thegeologic column are dis-carded.

Indoctrination in Evolution:Before and After Federal Funding

Those who believe in the theory of evolution often complainthat public school science textbooks do not present enough infor-mation on their theory. They say that students’ science test scoresare falling because of this lack of teaching evolution.

I believe that the opposite is true. Evolution has nothing to dowith science and is anti-science. Students should spend timelearning real science, not religious worldviews like evolution.

Evolutionary theory appears in nearly all subjects and grades inone form or another. Why? I believe one major reason is fear. Whenthe Soviet Union launched Sputnik in 1957, some Americans pan-icked at the thought of losing the space race. A few dedicated human-ists decided that America was behind because it was not teachingevolution as much as the Soviets were. The federal governmentbegan involvement in producing public school textbooks in the late1950s (a clear violation of the Tenth Amendment to the USConstitution).

This chart shows the number of words devoted to evolution inscience textbooks during the these years. The decline in the num-ber of words after 1963 was because there was less content ingeneral. The percentage of text devoted to evolution remainedabout the same.Sources:

Earth has over 197,000,000 square miles of surface area, ofwhich approximately 57,200,000 square miles, or 36,608,000,000acres, is above water. With 6 billion people on the earth, everyperson could have nearly seven acres to himself. The entire worldpopulation could fit in a circle with an eleven-mile radius.Everyone could fit twice within the city limits of Jacksonville,Florida (25 billion square feet).

Though much land surface is not inhabitable and some individ-ual areas are heavily populated, earth is not overcrowded. Also,millions of people make their living from, and even live on, thewater.

Earth, as originally created (mostly land and smallseas), could have supported a population of hundredsof billions; so it is clear God is not against largefamilies (Gen. 1:26–28, 9:7, and Ps. 127:3–5). Truly,“He formed it [earth] to be inhabited...” (Is. 45:18).

Question ListIt has been my custom since I began the ministry of Creation

Science Evangelism in 1989, to have an open time for questions andanswers during my seminars. I tell the audience that any question isfair game. Over the years, many interesting questions have beenasked. Here are my answers to some of the questions that havecome my way in seminars or by mail. I’m sure we will be adding tothis section until the Lord comes back. Please feel free to send inyour question if you don’t see it here. (See our Web sitewww.drdino.com for contact information.)

Many of these questions and scores of others, are dealt with inmore detail with visuals in Part #7. Other ques-tions about subjects such as the dinosaurs, cavemen, fire-breathingdragons, why the pre-Flood people lived over 900 years, whatcaused the Flood, the Ice Age, and many others are dealt with in thefirst six tapes of the series. The questions below are in categoriesand numbered for easier reference.

1. Why do creationists fight against science?2. How do we see stars billions of light-years away?3. Doesn’t carbon dating prove the earth is old?4. The number of fossils in certain areas of the world is

enormous. How could the earth have supported allthose creatures at the same time?

5. Is man evolving bigger and smarter?6. Was the earth ever a hot, molten mass like the text-

books say?7. How are diamonds, oil, fossil fuels, and natural gas

formed?8. How do you explain the formation of fine strata

layers, varve, such as those in the Green River forma-tion in Wyoming, which contains 20 million finelayers which represent one year each? Doesn’t thisprove the earth is more than 6,000 years old?

9. What about black holes?10. What about the Mars rock? Is there or was there life

on Mars?

11. Should (or can) creation science be taught in thepublic school system?

12. What can public school students and their parents doabout evolution being taught in the public schoolsystem?

Why do creationists fight against science?

our question has me confused. All major branches of science

were started by creationists. There has never been oneadvancement in any field of science that the evolution theoryhas helped. The evolution theory is useless. I don’t know ofany creationists who fight against science. I certainly lovescience and taught it for 15 years. Most creationists that Iknow love science and only fight against evolution. You maybe confusing the evolution theory with science. Some thinkthe two go together. This is a common mistake due to theintense evolution propaganda campaign of the last fifty years( Part #4). There has never been any evidencethat any kind of plant or animal has ever been able to createitself or produce any other kind of plant or animal. We haveseen thousands of changes within the created kinds but that isnot evolution. Please don’t accuse me of being against science.I am only against the false teaching of evolution as science.

If the earth is only 6,000 years old, how is it we can see starsthat are billions of light-years away?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions and deservesan honest answer. Below is first a short answer, then a morethorough answer. There are three things we need to considerwhen answering the starlight question.

1.Scientists cannot measure distances beyond 100 light-yearsaccurately.

2. No one knows what light is or that it always travels the samespeed throughout all time, space, and matter.

3. The creation was finished or mature when God made it.Adam was full-grown; the trees had fruit on them; the starlightwas visible, etc.

Let me elaborate on these three points. First, no one canmeasure star distance accurately. The farthest accurate dis-tance man can measure is 20 light-years (some textbooks sayup to 100), not several billion light-years. Man measures stardistances using parallax trigonometry. By choosing twomeasurable observation points and making an imaginarytriangle to a third point, using simple trigonometry, mancalculates the distance to the third point. The most distantobservation points available to an earthbound observer are thepositions of the earth in solar orbit six months apart - say Juneand December. This would create a base for our imaginarytriangle base of 186,000,000 miles, Which equals only 16 light

“If you will not fight for theright when you can easily winwithout bloodshed, if you willnot fight when your victorywill be sure and not so costly,you may come to the momentwhen you will have to fightwith all the odds against youand only a precarious chanceof survival.

minutes. There are 525,948 minutes in a year. Even if thenearest star were only one light-year away (and it is muchfurther), the angle at the third point measures .017 degrees. Insimpler terms, a triangle like this would be the same angle twosurveyors would see if they were standing 16 inches apart andfocusing on a third point 525,948 inches or 8.30 miles away. Ifthey stayed 16 inches apart and focused on a dot 830 milesaway, they would have the same angle as an astronomermeasuring a point 100 light-years away. A point 5 millionlight-years away is impossible to figure with trigonometry.The stars may be that far away, but modern man has no way ofmeasuring those great distances. No one can state definitivelythe distance to the stars.

Several other methods such as luminosity and red shift areemployed to try to guess at greater distances, but all suchmethods have serious problems and assumptions involved.For a more complex and slightly different answer to the starlight question from another Christian perspective, see thebook by Russell Humphrys, available fromwww.icr.org.

Second, the speed of light may not be a constant. It does varyin different media (hence the rainbow effect of light goingthrough a prism) and may also vary in different places in space.The entire idea behind the black hole theory is that light can beattracted by gravity and be unable to escape the great pull ofthese imaginary black holes. No one knows what light is letalone that its velocity has been the standard of time. If thespeed of light is decaying, the clock would be changing at thesame rate and therefore not be noticed as demonstrated by thefollowing article: “Eureka! Scientists Break Speed of Light”Jonathon Leake, science editor, from UK, June 4,200.

SCIENTISTS claim they have broken the ultimate speedbarrier: the speed of light. In research carried out in theUnited States, particle physicists have shown that light pulsescan be accelerated to up to 300 times their normal velocity of186,000 miles per second.

The work was carried out by Dr. Lijun Wang, of the NECResearch Institute in Princeton, who transmitted a pulse oflight towards a chamber filled with specially treated cesiumgas (“Faster than Light Maybe But Not Back to the Future”

Radiation from the sun strikes the atmosphere of the earth allday long. This energy converts about 21 pounds of nitrogeninto radioactive carbon 14. This radioactive carbon 14 slowlydecays back into normal, stable nitrogen. Extensive labora-tory testing has shown that about half of the C-14 moleculeswill decay in 5,730 years. This is called the half-life. Afteranother 5,730 years half of the remaining C-14 will decayleaving only ¼ of the original C-14. It goes from ½ to ¼ to 1/8,etc. In theory it would never totally disappear, but after about5 half-lives the difference is not measurable with any degree ofaccuracy. This is why most people say carbon dating is onlygood for objects less than 40,000 years old. Nothing on earthcarbon dates in the millions of years, because the scope ofcarbon dating only extends a few thousand years. WillardLibby invented the carbon dating technique in the early 1950s.The amount of carbon 14 in the atmosphere today is about.0000765%. It is assumed there would be the same amountfound in living plants or animals since the plants breath COand animals eat the plants.

Since sunlight causes the formation of C-14 in the atmosphere,and normal radioactive decay takes it out, there must be apoint where the formation rate and the decay rate equalizes.This is called the point of equilibrium. Let me illustrate: If youwere trying to fill a barrel with water but there were holesdrilled up the side of the barrel, as you filled the barrel it wouldbegin leaking out the holes. At some point you would beputting it in and it would be leaking out at the same rate. Youwill not be able to fill the barrel past this point of equilibrium.In the same way the C-14 is being formed and decayingsimultaneously. A freshly created earth would require about30,000 years for the amount of C-14 in the atmosphere to reachthis point of equilibrium because it would leak out as it is beingfilled. Tests indicate that the earth has still not reached equilib-rium. There is more C-14 in the atmosphere now than therewas 40 years ago. This would prove the earth is not yet 30,000years old! This also means that plants and animals that lived inthe past had less C-14 in them than do plants and animalstoday. Just this one fact totally upsets data obtained by C-14dating.

The carbon in the atmosphere normally combines with oxygento make carbon dioxide (CO ). Plants breathe CO and make itpart of their tissue. Animals eat the plants and make it part oftheir tissues. A very small percentage of the carbon plants takein is radioactive C-14. When a plant or animal dies, it stopstaking in air and food so it should not be able to get any newC-14. The C-14 in the plant or animal will begin to decay backto normal nitrogen. The older an object is, the less carbon 14 itcontains. One gram of carbon from living plant material causesa Geiger counter to click 16 times per minute as the C-14

decays. A sample that causes 8 clicks per minute would be 5,730years old (the sample has gone through one half-life) and so on

Although this technique looks good at first, carbon-14 datingrests on at least two simple assumptions. These are, obviously,the assumption that the amount of carbon 14 in the atmo-sphere has always been constant and that its rate of decay hasalways been constant. Neither of these assumptions is provableor reasonable. An illustration may help: Imagine you found acandle burning in a room, and you wanted to determine howlong it was burning before you found it. You could measure thepresent height of the candle (say, 7 inches) and the rate of burn(say, an inch per hour). In order to find the length of time sincethe candle was lit, we would be forced to make some assump-tions. We would, obviously, have to assume that the candle hasalways burned at the same rate, and assume an initial height ofthe candle. The answer changes based on the assumptions.Similarly, scientists do not know that the carbon-14 decay ratehas been constant. They do not know that the amount ofcarbon 14 in the atmosphere is constant. Present testing showsthe amount of C-14 in the atmosphere has been increasing sinceit was first measured in the 1950s. This may be tied in to thedeclining strength of the magnetic field.

In addition to the above assumptions, dating methods are allsubject to the geologic column date to verify their accuracy. Ifa date obtained by radiometric dating does not match theassumed age from the geologic column, the radiometric datewill be rejected. The so-called geologic column was developedin the early 1800s over a century before there were any radio-metric dating methods. “Apart from very ‘modern’ examples,which are really archaeology, I can think of no cases of radioac-tive decay being used to date fossils”(Ager, Derek V., “FossilFrustrations,” , vol. 100 (November 10, 1983), p.425). Laboratories will not carbon date dinosaur bones (evenfrozen ones which could easily be carbon dated) becausedinosaurs are supposed to have lived 70 million years agoaccording to the fictitious geologic column. An object’ssupposed place on the geologic column determines the methodused to date it. There are about 7 or 8 radioactive elements thatare used today to try to date objects. Each one has a differenthalf-life and a different range of ages it is supposed to be usedfor. No dating method cited by evolutionists is unbiased(

The number of fossils in certain areas of the world is enor-

mous. How could earth have supported all those creatures atthe same time?

his question shows a common false assumption that manypeople make. They assume the earth today is the same as it hasalways been. Today’s earth is 70% under water. There arescriptural and scientific indications that the pre-Flood worldhad greater air pressure, higher percentages of oxygen andcarbon dioxide, much more land (above sea level), less water(on the earth’s surface), and a canopy of water to filter out theharmful effects of the sun. This would cause there to be manytimes more plants and animals on the earth than there aretoday. The added air pressure would diffuse more gasses intothe water and support a much greater fish population. Aquaticplant life per cubic mile would multiply also.

Second Peter 3 tells us that the scoffers in the last days will bewillingly ignorant of how God created the heavens and theearth. They would also be ignorant of the Flood. These twogreat events must be considered before making any statementsabout the conditions on earth today. Only about 3% of theearth today is habitable for man. The rest is under water, ice,deserts, mountains, etc. If the earth before the Flood were, forexample, 70% habitable, it could have supported a huge popula-tion. Most of the water in today’s oceans would been under theearth’s crust before the Flood. See Psalm 24:1 and Psalm 136:7.

6. Q:

A:

: Is man evolving bigger and smarter?

The evolution theory teaches that man has been improvingover the last 3 million years. Nothing could be farther from thetruth Both history and Scripture indicate that before the Floodin the days of Noah, people were much bigger and smarterthan the average person is today. The Bible says they wereliving to be more than 900 years oldAs for smarter, you could learn a lot in 900 years! Plus, Adamcame from the hand of God fully programmed with languagecapacity and the ability to classify or sort items quickly (henamed all the animals in one day). Adam was around for overhalf of the time from the creation to the Flood, so his greatknowledge could be spread throughout the world.

In the last 400 years, there has been a great increase in accumu-lated technology. This is not the same as wisdom or intelli-gence. We can have a computer because thousands of menbefore have invented various parts and ideas that can be puttogether. There is no evidence that modern man is smarterthan ancient man. I think the opposite is true. Many of theancient structures indicate greater intelligence in solvingproblems in a low-tech age.

As for man getting bigger, there has been an increase in averagesize over the last few hundred years in industrialized countriesdue to improved diet, sanitation, medicine, etc. But, this is notto be confused with evolution. Also, the trend in bigger peopleis not proof of long-term growth patterns. If man today is, say,8 inches taller than average man during the American Revolu-tion 200 years ago, it obviously would not prove that man was80 inches shorter 2,000 years ago or 800 inches shorter 20,000years ago! Every age has seen both tall people and smart people.There is no evidence that modern man is any better.

Was the earth ever a hot, molten mass like the textbookssay?

Evolutionists teach that the earth was a boiling hot, moltenmass that slowly cooled down over millions of years. The Biblesays in Genesis chapter 1 that “In the beginning God createdthe heaven and the earth…and the Spirit of God moved uponthe face of the waters.” So the surface of the earth was coveredwith water; it could not have been a hot, molten mass.

There is scientific evidence to support the biblical account.Robert Gentry of Knoxville, Tennessee does amazing researchon radio-polonium halos in granite rock. Polonium is a rareelement that is radioactive. It breaks down or decays likeuranium, but polonium only lasts a few minutes. As it breaks

down, it sends off little particles that fly a certain distance. Ananalogy would be a fireworks display that produces a sphere offragments that only lasts a fraction of a second before it col-lapses. Different elements have fragments that fly differentdistances, each radioactive element has a particular “signature”(how big a circle it can make in the rock as it decays like a morepowerful fireworks rocket would produce a bigger sphere inthe air). Radioactive polonium, when it decays in a solid rock,makes a perfect sphere as it decays, because all its fragments flyabout the same distance from the center. If it decays in solidrock, the circle is preserved. But if it decays in a hot moltenrock, the circle disappears. All over the world radio-poloniumhalos exist in granite, indicating the earth was never a hot,molten mass (

It is also interesting that Gentry’s research was published inmany major science magazines until someone realized that itwas proving the big bang theory to be a big dud. The censorshipof his valuable material by mainstream science magazines isincredible but predictable. Evolution is a very carefully pro-tected state religion in this humanist world today.

How are diamonds, oil, fossil fuels, and natural gas formed?

Coal comes from massive amounts of trees and plant matterthat have been changed by tremendous heat and pressure. Oiland natural gas form from fish, reptile, and animal matterunder similar heat and pressure conditions. The most logicaltime for coal, oil and gas to form was during and after theworldwide flood, when enormous amounts of animal andvegetable matter underwent mass burial under the incredibledestruction and pressure of the floodwaters and the sediments

Diamonds are highly pressurized, pure carbon gems. (Super-man used to make them from coal all the time.) Most diamondsappear in “blue ground,” in or near the neck of an extinctvolcano where magma erupted. The high pressure of volcanicactivity could have formed diamonds. Many may have formedwhen the “fountains of the deep” were broken up or whenmountains arose during the last months of the Flood (Psalm104:6-8).

How do you explain “varve,” the formation of fine stratalayers, such as those in the Green River formation in Wyomingwhich contains 20 million fine layers which represent one yeareach? Doesn’t this prove the earth is more than 6,000 years old?

Like many questions posed by evolutionists, one has a built-infaulty assumption. This question assumes that each of theselayers is annual, and this is, obviously, not the case.

What about black holes?

In order to escape the gravitational pull of the earth, a rocketmust go 25,000 miles per hour. If it goes less than this, it will fallback down. This speed is known as the escape velocity of earth.If a planet has stronger gravity, the escape velocity will be evengreater.

The theory behind a black hole is the idea that if enough mass isin one location, the gravity would be so great that the escapevelocity would be 186,000 miles per second so that even lightcould not escape. This, of course, is assuming that light can beaffected by gravity. No one has ever seen a black hole since nolight could escape one if it existed.

The problem black holes are supposed to fix is this: if the bigbang theory were true, the matter should be evenly distributedin space. Since matter is not evenly distributed in space (wehave clumps of matter called galaxies, then zillions of miles ofnothing between) the believers in the big bang theory aretrying to explain why. They are trying to say, “There is matterin between the clumps but we can’t see it because it is in blackholes.” Actually, they are arguing from a lack of evidence notfrom evidence. This is a poor position to be in when trying toprove your case in a court of law.

I don’t know if black holes exist or not, but their existence isnot proven.

What about the Mars rock; is/was there life on Mars?

Life does not exist on Mars. The purpose of the Mars rock hypea few years ago was to help NASA get its grant money, whichhad been stalled in congress. They had to find somethingimportant with all the billions they had spent. The rock hadbeen found 7 years earlier near the South Pole. It arrived 13,000years ago, according to NASA. In 13,000 years it could easilyhave become contaminated with earth life. Or, the rock couldhave become contaminated in passing through the 200-mile-thick earth atmosphere.

Also, the rock’s supposed Mars origin is suspect.

Should (or can) creation science be taught in the publicschool system?

This is a good question and it deserves a good answer. How-ever, there are other questions that must be answered firstbefore this question can be properly answered.

The first of these is: Should we have a public school system?The tenth amendment to the US Constitution says, “Thepowers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution,nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the Statesrespectively, or to the people.” The interference of the Federalgovernment in the education of children is unconstitutional. Ibelieve if the government was out of the education business,many problems would be eliminated.

Secondly: If we decide to have a public school system, whoshould run it? This will further eliminate questions about whatis taught. If the local community wants to impart their valuesto the students, and they are paying the salaries, then theirvalues should be taught. It is unfair and illegal (constitution-ally) to force everyone (via taxes) to pay to have all childrentaught things contrary to the beliefs and values of their par-ents. Unfortunately, with federal moneys come federal man-dates. The schools became public in the mid 1800s as part of along-range plan for a new world order (“Why the Schools WentPublic” by Samuel Blumenfeld).

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

“When it gets dark enoughyou can see the stars.”

“

July 19, 1987, p. 34

— Stephen Jay Gould TheVerdict on Creationism,” NewYork Times

The Supreme Court statedthat, “the Bible mayconstitutionally be used in anappropriate study of history,civilization, ethics, comparativereligion, or the like.”

449 U.S.39, 42 (1980)— Stone v. Graham,

— Daniel Webster

“Good intentions will alwaysbe pleaded for everyassumption of power... It ishardly too strong to say thatthe Constitution was made toguard the people against thedangers of good intentions.There are men in all ages whomean to govern well, but theymean to govern. They promiseto be good masters, but theymean to be masters.”


Now, to finally answer the question: Not only can you legallyteach creation science in the public schools, you can teach itright out of the Bible, and teach or devote a class to religion andhave the textbook be the Bible. We all know the effects of whathappened in 1963 when the Bible was taken out, and evolutionwas put in to the schools. We have been deceived by thatACLU again! In 1963, the Supreme Court banned the use of theBible to try to get kids saved, which is not good obviously, butit's a lot better than what the ACLU has led us to believe. Theydid not throw the Bible out! We have thrown the Bible outbecause we have allowed ourselves to be deceived by theACLU.

In the landmark ruling of School District of Abington Town-ship v. Schempp, 374 U.S. 203, 225, (1963) the court held that,“it certainly may be said that the Bible is worthy of study for itsliterary and historic qualities. Nothing we have said hereindicates that such study of the Bible or of religion, whenpresented objectively as part of a secular program of education,may be affected consistently with the First Amendment.”

In the ruling of Stone v. Graham, 449 U.S. 39, 42 (1980), TheSupreme Court stated that, “the Bible may constitutionally beused in an appropriate study of history, civilization, ethics,comparative religion, or the like.”

In Florey v. Sioux Falls School District, 619 F.2d 1311, 1314(8th Cir, 1980), the court found that permitting public schoolobservances which include religious elements promotes thesecular purpose of “advancing the student's knowledge andappreciation of the role that our religious heritage has playedin the social, cultural, and historical development of civiliza-tion.”

There are at least two other cases where the Supreme Courthas ruled that the Bible may be used in its entirety for seculareducational purposes such as history, civilization, ethics,comparative religion, culture, and the morals on which thiscountry was founded!

The Supreme Court never kicked the Bible out of schools in1963. The problem is that we Christians believed the lie thatthey did! The teachers are not allowed to try to convert stu-dents while on school time and property, but they can presentcreation. Now, I understand that not being able to use the Bibleto get people saved is discouraging. But, being able to use it toteach creation science or the morals that this country wasfounded on can and will reverse the current indoctrination!

Two states passed laws mandating that the schools teachcreation. These laws were ruled unconstitutional. The teach-ers have always had the right to teach it. “The Supreme Courtdecision says only that the Louisiana law violates the

constitutional separation of church and state: it does not saythat no one can teach scientific creationism and, unfortu-nately, many individual teachers do. Some school districtseven require 'equal time' for creation and evolution” (EugenieScott, National Center for Science Education, Berkeley,California, Nature 329, 1987 p. 282). However, in some cases,lower courts have misused this ruling to keep creation teachingout of science classes.

By law creation can be taught as an alternative origins theory,and the Bible can be used in schools. However, it would be wisefor public school teachers to check with ACLJ (AmericanCenter for Law and Justice www.aclj.org Jay Sekulow (757)226-2489), or the National Legal Foundation (757) 463-6133,or the American Family Association Law Center (662) 844-5036, or the Rutherford Institute (434) 978-3888 to get detailsand updates on this issue. The ACLU is busy threatening tobring law suits on school boards and districts. Funds arelimited and officials are intimidated. The organizations in thereference section of this book under public schools would havegood information and resources to help you formulate a wiseplan of action. “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midstof wolves; be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless asdoves” (Matthew 10:16).

What can public school students and their parents do

about evolution being taught in the public school system?

Here are some practical suggestions students and their parentscan use to fight evolution in the classroom. It certainly is unfairto use tax dollars to promote the religion of evolution and, atthe same time, destroy the faith of Christian children in school.

Transfer your child from public school to private or homeschool. Public schools lose funding when enrollment drops(

As a taxpayer, you have a right to help control your localschools, even if your children do not attend. Go to school boardmeetings. Be polite and friendly. Get involved with the electionprocess.

Get educated. Research the educational structure, educa-tional standards, and annual textbook selection process ofyour state. Use the internet and your phone book. State andlocal officials will be impressed and more ready to cooperatewhen they see you have done your homework.

Write to textbook publishers to express your opinion.

Current Alabama Course ofStudy Insert

The theory of evolution bynatural selection, a theoryincluded in this document,states that natural selectionprovides the basis for themodern scientific explanationfor the diversity of livingthings. Since natural selectionhas been observed to play arole in influencing smallchanges in a population, it isassumed, based on the studyof artifacts, that it produceslarge changes, even thoughthis has not been directlyobserved. Because of itsimportance and implications,students should understandthe nature of evolutionarytheories. They should learn tomake distinctions among themultiple meanings ofevolution, to distinguishbetween observations andassumptions used to drawconclusions, and to wrestlewith the unansweredquestions and unresolvedproblems still faced byevolutionary theory.

There are many unansweredquestions about the origin oflife. With the explosion ofnew scientific knowledge inbiochemical and molecularbiology and exciting new fossildiscoveries, Alabama studentsmay be among those who usetheir understanding and skillsto contribute to knowledgeand to answer manyunanswered questions.Instructional materials chosento implement the contentstandards within this course ofstudy should be approachedwith an open mind, studiedcarefully, and criticallyconsidered.

This insert is required to be inall textbooks:


CANs and CAN'Ts of teaching origins in public school scienceclasses:

On public school science course content standards, keep inmind the distinction between what teachers must teach, andwhat they may teach.

States can legally require teachers to discuss evolution inscience classes. They cannot require them to discuss creation.Teachers may discuss creation in science classes if they wish.

• REMEMBER the prevailing notion that evolution is scien-tific and that creation is religious! This is why courts alwaysoverturn mandates to discuss creation in science classes. Butsatisfactory public school science course content standards onevolution are possible within this constraint.

• CONSIDER the distinction between scientific weaknessesin evolutionary theory and scientific evidence for creation.Courts allow requiring the former, but not the latter in publicschool science courses, because they (wrongly) assume thatevolution is scientific but creation is religious.

• IDENTIFY the distinction between requiring discussion ofweaknesses of all scientific theories and "singling out" evolu-tion. To avoid legal challenges alleging a "non-secular purpose"in public school science courses, formulate general curriculumstandards on this topic that do not mention evolution.

Texas has met those criteria over the years with these variantwordings of its public school science course standards:

"examining alternative scientific evidence and ideas to test,modify, verify, or refute scientific theories"

"The student shall be provided content necessary to formulate,discuss, critique, and review hypotheses, theories, laws, andprinciples and their strengths and weaknesses."

"The student is expected to analyze, review, and critiquescientific explanations, including hypotheses and theories, asto their strengths and weaknesses using scientific evidence andinformation.”

Bible Questions:

13. Q:

A:

Are there contradictions in the Bible?

When I was a new Christian, someone showed me the appar-ent contradictions between the creation accounts in Genesis 1and Genesis 2. According to Genesis 1, God made the trees onday three, the birds from water on day five, and the animals onday six, all before man. But Genesis 2 records the creation oftrees, animals, and birds from dirt on day six, all after man.This apparent contradiction disappears when one reads inGenesis 2 that this chapter describes the events regarding thecreation of the items in the Garden of Eden only. God knewSatan could come and say he had created all things if Adam didnot actually witness God’s creative power. God made Adam onthe sixth day, put him in the garden, made some trees to growbefore Adam, then made one more of each of the animals sothat Adam could name them and see his need of a wife. The restof the world was already full of plants and animals from earlierin the week (

Another apparent contradiction appears in I Kings 7:23 and IIChronicles 4, the description of the large bowl called the brazenlaver. According to both passages, the laver measures 10 cubits(elbow to fingertip, about 18 inches) across and 30 cubitsaround, a ratio that does not equal pi (3.14159…) and appearsto be not mathematically valid. However, the 10-cubit mea-surement spans the inside of the bowl; the handbreadththickness of the brass is included in the diameter which bal-ances the ratio to equal pi very neatly. There are no contradic-tions in the Bible. This topic is covered in more detail withpictures and calculations early on p. 34.

Some have supposed a contradiction over the number of horsesSolomon had. “And Solomon had forty thousand stalls ofhorses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen”(I Kings 4:26), vs. “And Solomon had four thousand stalls forhorses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen”(II Chronicles 9:25). This is not a problem. One passage tells ofthe number of horses while the other tells of the number ofstalls for horses and chariots. They had ten horses and ten menper chariot. The same ratio is seen in II Samuel 10:18, “And theSyrians fled before Israel; and David slew the men of sevenhundred chariots of the Syrians.” I Chronicles 19:18 says, “Butthe Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syriansseven thousand men which fought in chariots.” (See also: IISamuel 8:4; I Chronicles 18:4).

Another common contradiction pointed out by scoffers is,“And those that died in the plague were twenty and fourthousand” (Numbers 25:9). vs. “Neither let us commit fornica-tion, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and

twenty thousand”(I Corinthians 10:8). Obviously, one thou-sand died later from the plague.

Where did the races come from?

Actually, there is only one race - the human race. Obviously,several different colors of people having distinctive character-istics exist on the earth, but they are the same race. BecauseScripture does not state where these differences came from,I’m not going to be dogmatic but I will tell you about thevarious theories.

One theory says that Adam and Eve were medium brown,possibly because they were made from the earth. Thatmedium-brown couple produced all the varieties of colors;they might have had 100 children or more with all the colorsrepresented in the first family.

A second theory says that the first division of colors camewhen God put a mark upon Cain (Genesis 4:15) after Cainkilled Abel. The Bible doesn’t say what the mark is, but somehave tried to say that Cain became the first black man. Ofcourse, that theory only explains two colors and does notconsider the Flood bringing the human race back to one family.I believe this theory is wrong.

A third theory says that Noah cursed Canaan after Noah gotdrunk (Genesis 9:25). Some people think Canaan became thefirst black man. I don’t believe this. No color of people iscursed. Again, that theory would only explain two colors. TheBible says Canaan shall be a servant of servants. Some haveused this verse with their twisted logic to justify slavery.

The fourth (and I think the best) theory says the races camefrom the Tower of Babel. Genesis 10:20 says, “These are thesons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in theircountries, and in their nations.” Perhaps all families, countries,nations, and tongues were created or developed from thisevent. Maybe the colors were divinely created at that time, ormaybe they are just a natural product of a small group of peoplespeaking their own language and marrying back to their ownparent stock. Racial traits become more pronounced in a smallinbreeding group. The Bible isn’t clear on this subject. Thesefour theories are the only ones that I know. I prefer the Towerof Babel explanation. I know the Bible does say in Acts 17 thatall nations are of one blood so there is no reason for anyone tobe a racist.

Is there any scientific explanation for the opening of theRed Sea and Moses leading the children of Israel across thebottom?

I don’t know of any scientific explanation at all; I would say ithad to be a miracle. There is, however, archaeological supportfor the biblical account. Archaeologists have been looking inthe wrong place for the last 3,000 years for the remains ofPharaoh’s army at the Red Sea crossing. If you look at a map ofthe north end of the Red Sea you will see that it splits into twobranches. The left branch is called the Gulf of Suez and theright branch is called the Gulf of Aqaba: The children of Israeldid not cross at the Gulf of Suez. They traveled across the SinaiPeninsula and crossed over at the Gulf of Aqaba, which is alsopart of the Red Sea.

Ron Wyatt (deceased) was a friend of mine from Nashville,Tennessee, who researched the crossing of the Red Sea. Hefound two stone pillars, one on either side of the Gulf of Aqaba,erected and inscribed by Solomon to commemorate the RedSea crossing. Across the bottom of the gulf between the twopillars is a path littered with the remains of gold-platedwooden chariots and chariot wheels not attached to theirchariots, just as the Bible says in Exodus 14:25. God performeda miracle at the Red Sea, and there is evidence of the miracle

Is God getting old?

This is an interesting question that reflects a common humantendency. People often try to put our human limitations onGod. The God of the Bible does not have our limitations. It isdifficult to comprehend God as not being affected by time,space, or matter like we are. There is a story that may helpexplain how God is beyond understanding. Suppose there weretwo flat people represented by two rectangular pieces of paper.These flat people lived on a tabletop. We will call them Mr. Flatand Mrs. Flat, and the place they live in and understand iscalled Flatland. They are two-dimensional beings and live in atwo-dimensional world. They have no concept of the thirddimension. They can see only one dimension (width), but theycan perceive two, length and width; just as humans can see twodimensions, length and width and perceive a third, depth.(Hence, the term “depth perception.”)

Now suppose that a three-dimensional being (a human)wished to meet and explain himself to Mr. and Mrs. Flat. If thatperson stuck a finger through the table top called Flatland, Mr.and Mrs. Flat would see only a circle (the cross section of thefinger), with no perception of the rest of the person. Three

dimensions are beyond their comprehension in the same wayGod is beyond our comprehension. Paul prays in Ephesians3:18-19 that we “may be able to comprehend with all saintswhat is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; [fourdimensions] And to know the love of Christ, which passethknowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.”God may exist in more dimensions than we can fully compre-hend now. In asking “Is God getting old?” we assume that Godexists in time like we do. He does not. He exists beyond time,space, and matter; humans are the ones stuck in time. God doesnot grow old. Time, space, and matter do not apply to Him oraffect Him in any way. He created them all in Genesis 1:1.

When were angels created?

The Bible says in Exodus 20:11 that God made everything inthose six days, heaven and earth and everything in them. Theangels had to be made during the first six days, although theBible doesn’t state when. Several references seem to say thatthe angels rejoiced when the earth’s foundations were laid, sothey must have been created early in the week (This passage may be referring to the angels watching the dryland appear on day three in the original creation or it may bethey were watching the establishing of the earth’s new conti-nental levels after the Flood. I don’t know for sure.

What are unicorns?

I’ve never found a good answer to that one. The Bible mentionsthis creature six times in Numbers 23:22, 24:8; Job 39:9-10 andPsalms 29:6; 92:10. I suspect all the pictures of horses withhorns have been so imbedded in our minds we cannot get themout. Scripture mentions the unicorn’s great strength, aversionto man, and un-trainability. Horses are domestic animals thattrain well; reptiles are wild animals with small brains thatdon’t train well, if at all. If we could start fresh and read whatthe Bible says about unicorns, I think we would find that astocky strong reptile like the or wouldfit the description much better. We have all seen so manypictures of a horse with a horn that I doubt we will be able toclear our minds and think about this subject without bias. Wewill have to wait and ask God that question.

actually no time. God made time as well as matter and space. Ido not think that Satan fell from heaven until about onehundred years after the creation. He could not have fallenbefore the creation because he was spoken about in the book ofEzekiel as being good while in the garden. Look at Ezekiel28:13-15, “Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; everyprecious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and thediamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, theemerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thytabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day thatthou wast created. Thou art the anointed cherub thatcovereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holymountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midstof the stones of fire. Thou wast perfect in thy ways from theday that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee ” Hewas Lucifer, a good angel or cherub, and he was in the Garden.The Garden of Eden wasn’t made until day six, so that shootsthe gap theory full of holes right there. Not only that, but Jesussaid in Matthew 19:4 that the creation of Adam and Eve wasthe beginning. Read what it says: “And he answered and saidunto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at thebeginning made them male and female.” Romans 5:12 saysthat there was no death until Adam sinned, “Wherefore, as byone man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and sodeath passed upon all men, for that all have sinned ” Thosewho say that Satan fell from heaven and wiped out the pre-Adamic civilization are placing death before sin. They havejust eliminated the need for Christ to die on the cross. Therewas no death until sin came into the world. Exodus 20:11states, “For in six days the made heaven and earth, thesea and all that in them is.. ” This is found in the middle of theTen Commandments.

God made the whole universe in six, literal twenty-four-hourdays, including time, the angels, and everything that is. Whatday He made the angels is not known since the Genesis story ismainly telling events on the earth. The angels were probablymade on the first day, before God laid the foundations of theearth ( Job 38:4-7 and Genesis 1:9). Genesis 1:31 tells us every-thing was very good at the end of the creation week, so Satanhad not fallen yet. Satan did not fall until after the creation,maybe as long as one hundred or so years later. All that weknow is Adam was 130 when Seth was born. That is the firstdate given in Scripture. Before Seth, they had Cain and Abel,but dates are not given. Before he had Cain and Abel, they wereremoved from the garden. Therefore, it would have beensomewhere around a hundred years during which time Satanmay have become jealous of the fellowship that Adam and Eveenjoyed with God. Satan may have observed their relationship

My theory is, and I cannot prove it, but I am pretty convincedthat Satan did not fall until one hundred years after the cre-ation. The fall could not have been in the original creationbecause he was still the light bearer in the Garden of Eden

Part #2(Creation Seminar ).

20. Q:

A:

How old was Terah when Abram was born - 70 or 130?

This is an interesting question. Compare the following verses:Gen. 11:26 “And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram,Nahor, and Haran.” Gen. 12:4 “So Abram departed, as theLORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: andAbram was seventy and five years old when he departed out ofHaran.” Acts 7:2-4 says “And he said, Men, brethren, andfathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our fatherAbraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt inCharran, And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, andfrom thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall showthee. Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, anddwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead,he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell.”

There are several possible answers to this question.1. Some think Abram was not the firstborn even though hisname appears first. The same thing happens with Shem, Hamand Japheth even though Japheth is the elder (Gen. 5:32).Sometimes the most prominent of the children is listed firsteven though they are not the eldest.

2. Abram made several trips to and from Haran, so Terah was 70when Abram was born.

3. Acts 7:4 refers to Abram taking the body of Terah from Haranto Canaan. Our chart shows Terah at 70 when Abram wasborn though the Scripture does not seem to give enough detailto be dogmatic.

Flood Questions:

21. Q:

A:

22. Q:

A:

Did it rain before the Flood?

The Bible teaches that before the Flood a canopy of watersurrounded the earth. This canopy is mentioned in Gen. 1:6&7and II Peter 3:5. The creation account in Genesis 1 records thata mist that went forth and watered the face of the wholeground. Genesis mentions no other precipitation until theFlood brought rain for forty days and forty nights. Many peopleteach that rain never fell before the Flood. Although that isprobably true, it cannot be taught dogmatically because theBible simply does not mention the subject. Possibly if thecanopy of water that is mentioned in Genesis 1:6 and 7increased the air pressure, as many think it did, rain was notpossible.

It may be that Noah was preaching that rain would come out ofthe sky (something that had never happened), and the peoplelaughed just like today when Christians preach that Jesus willcome out of the sky (something that has never happened) tocatch up all believers in Christ. See Matthew 24:37, Luke 17:26,and I Thess 4:16.

How did Noah take care of all those animals on the ark?

It is reasonable to assume that all types of animals on the Arkwere young animals because they would weigh less, eat less,and sleep more. Many animals become dormant, lethargic oreven hibernate during stormy weather. Also, after the Flood,they would live longer to produce more offspring. No oneknows for sure how many animals were on the ark. Limiting itdown to two of each does not mean there were two ofeach or variety that we have today. There seem to beabout 8,000 basic kinds of animal in the world.

Through the instructions that God gave or through the wis-dom of Noah, he was given the ability to provide a wateringmechanism to disperse water to the animals throughout theark and possibly even a food distribution system. In Genesis1:29-30, the Bible teaches that after creation all the animalswere vegetarians. Even if since the Fall, some animals hadstarted eating meat (since God chose the ones to be brought onthe ark), it seems certain He would have chosen the young oneswho would not have been involved with this yet. So therewould not have been a problem with, for example, the liontrying to eat the lamb. Some have suggested that there was amoon pool, a hole in the center of the floor, which wouldprovide a place for fishing and, if necessary, a way to dispenseanimal waste from the ark (

“Long regarded as avestigial organ with nofunction in the human body,the appendix is now thoughtto be one of the sites whereimmune responses areinitiated.”— Roy Hartenstein, GrolierEncyclopedia, 1998



The minor problems that the Bible believers cannot alwaysanswer are nothing compared to the problems and questionsthat the evolutionists cannot answer. Although I do not knowexactly how Noah took care of all the animals on the ark, I amgoing to believe the Bible until it is proven wrong instead ofdoubt the Bible until it is proven right. For someone to rejectthe Bible and then accept the story that we all came from a rockis silly!

Did Noah have to take all the millions of species of insectson the ark?

Noah was commanded to take into the ark all the animals onland in whose nostrils was the breath of life (Genesis 6:17,7:14-15, 22). I do not believe that all the varieties of insectswere on the ark because they breathe through their skin and donot have nostrils. They could have survived on floating matteror by burrowing in the mud. Some of the insects may have beenon the ark in the fur of the animals or in nooks and crannies ofthe ark. The Bible does not teach that they had to be on board.

How did animals travel from all over the world to get tothe ark?

This question assumes that the world before the Flood was likethe world is today, with animals specialized for certain areas.Today the world is 70% water and the oceans separate thecontinents. Also, some animals only live in a few selectedlocations. But, the Bible teaches that before the Flood, thewater was gathered into one place (Genesis 1:9). There wasprobably one ocean and much more landmass. Also, if theclimate was more temperate, animals could live in all types ofplaces which means Noah did not have to go gather animalsfrom all over the world. In fact, the Bible says that the animalscame to Noah (Genesis 6:20).

What about dinosaurs? Did they live with Adam and Eve?Did Noah take them on the ark?

To summarize briefly: Dinosaurs were made thesixth day with the rest of the animals. Noah took them on theark (probably young ones). They have always lived with man.After the Flood many died from the climate changes and fromman’s hunting. They were called dragons for many centuries.(The word dinosaur was invented in 1841.) A few smalldinosaurs may still be alive today in remote parts of the world.There have been over 20,000 reported sightings of dinosaur-like creatures in this century. A few pictures and stories are onmy Web site.

It would take 4.4 billion cubic kilometers of water tocover Mt. Everest. Where did the water come from to flood theearth?

This question assumes that the pre-Flood world was like theworld is today. It would only take one inch of water to coverMt. Everest if the earth were smooth. The Bible states clearlythat the water was 15 cubits over the tallest mountain. Seashellfossils have been found on top of mountain ranges all over theworld. The top of Mt. Everest is covered with sedimentary rockcontaining petrified, closed clams. Since clams open as soon asthey die, they had to have been buried alive to be petrified inthe closed position. There was definitely a worldwide Flood.The Bible says in Psalm 104:5-9 that, as the Flood ended, themountains lifted up and the valleys sank down and the waterhasted away. Today’s mountain ranges are well above sea level,but this was not the case before the Flood. If the earth weresmoothed out (that is, the mountains pressed down and theocean basins lifted up), there is enough water in the oceansright now to cover the entire earth 8,000 feet deep (approxi-mately 1½ miles).

All of the water ran off rapidly through the soft sedimentsintothe ocean basins during the last few months of the Flood.This would explain the rapid carving of features such as theGrand Canyon and the Bad lands (

During the Flood, how did the fresh-water fish survive?

This question assumes the oceans were salt water during theFlood like they are today. I believe the entire world was largelyfresh water. Today about 30% of the rain water washes intothe oceans, bringing mineral salts with it. The oceans aregetting saltier every day. Today’s oceans are about 3.6% salt.Between the salts washing in from ground water and the saltsleaching in from subterranean salt domes, the oceans couldhave gone from fresh water to 3.6% in the 4,400 years since theFlood. If the earth were billions of years old, the oceans wouldbe much saltier – like the Dead Sea or Great Salt Lake.

Many animals have adapted to the slow increase in salinityover the last 4,400 years. We now have fresh-water crocodilesand salt-water crocodiles that are different species but proba-bly had a common ancestor. A crocodile! This is not evolution.It is only variation. Changing from a fresh-water croc to a salt-water croc is not a major change compared to what the evolu-tionists believe. They think it changed from a rock to a croc!That would be a major change!

Several years ago, a man in Minnesota told me that he had twolarge aquariums in his house, one fresh water and the other salt

water. He wondered if he could mix the fish together so hefigured out how to slowly raise the salt content in the fresh-water aquarium a little each week for ten years until it was1.8% salt. At the same time, he was lowering the salt content inthe salt-water aquarium to 1.8% salt. After ten years he mixedall the fish together. He told me they adapted fine.

Noah had no problem with drinking water during the Floodand the fresh-water/salt-water problem does not exist.Attempting to force the way the world is today onto thequestions involving the pre-Flood world is a common problem.Second Peter 3 says the scoffers of the last days will be will-ingly ignorant of how God made the heavens and the earth (theoriginal creation) and the Flood.

If there was really a worldwide Flood, where are all thebones of the humans that drowned?

I believe there are few human fossils for several reasons.

1. God made the world full of plants and animals but only twopeople. Sixteen hundred years later the world was still full ofplants and animals but still not full of people. There were notas many of them to be drowned.

2. Man, being smarter than animals (that is, some men),would have figured out a way to avoid drowning until the lastpossible moment by making makeshift rafts or holding on tofloating logs. Tending to be deposited on top rather than in thesediments, he would not fossilize. For example, millions ofbison were slaughtered in the West a century ago; yet few, ifany, fossilized. They were left on top to rot, bones and all.

3. Since so many researchers have the preconceived (and false)idea that man has been evolving from small and dumb to big andsmart, they may tend to not even recognize and properlyidentify bone fragments of humans that may have been huge bytoday’s standards. Their prejudice is that ancient man wassmaller, despite

In spite of the above problems, Marvin Lubenow, an expert onhuman fossils and author of states thatabout 4,000 human fossil remains have been found.

The evolutionist has a serious problem with this same ques-tion. If man has really been here for millions of years thereshould be many thousands, if not millions, of fossils of theirbones like we have of the animals. The “Where are the bones?”question is really more of a question for the evolutionist toanswer if he expects taxpayers to support his religion in theschool system.

A:

What is the Gaia hypothesis?

The Gaia hypothesis is named after the Greek goddess for theearth. According to Gaia hypothesis, earth itself is a livingorganism, our “Mother Earth,” as its proponents call it. Manyevolutionists adopt this theory because they have not foundany evidence for gradual undirected evolution as Darwinpredicted. Radical environmentalism and the New Age move-ment tie right into the Gaia hypothesis and evolution. TheBible teaches the earth was made for man to have dominionover. It is going to be destroyed one day.

What about the ozone hole and R-12 refrigerants?

There is not an ozone problem that man has created. Ozone is anatural gas, which is produced when sunlight strikes theatmosphere. O , ozone, is poisonous, but it does filter outradiation. In the upper atmosphere, the ozone layer protectsus; it’s a barrier. Ozone is absent from the North and SouthPoles because the sun never strikes those areas directly, but atsuch an oblique angle that it does not produce ozone. It’snormal to have an ozone hole in these areas.

What about R-12? R-12 does destroy ozone, but the R-12 fromour refrigerators and air conditioners never rises high enoughto destroy atmospheric ozone. R-12 sinks; it doesn’t rise. Evenconvection currents would not carry man-made R-12 to theozone layer in 100 years, which is a longer time than man hasbeen using it. Man has done almost nothing to the ozone. Infact, my understanding is that the last time scientists measuredthe ozone layer, it was thicker than it was the first time theymeasured it. I believe the real purpose of the environmentalpropaganda is to fulfill the first plank of the CommunistManifesto: the abolishment of private property. While there isno question man has abused the environment, there is a hiddenagenda behind the modern hype (

).

What about global warming?

Just about as many scientists are concerned about globalfreezing or another ice age as about global warming. There isn’tenough data to be dogmatic. The answer would probablydepend upon the grant money being sought. As with theprevious question, most of the environmental hype is really tohelp bring about Karl Marx’s dream (nightmare) of a commu

Who built the Great Pyramid, and why?

No one knows for sure who built the Great Pyramid, but severaltheories have been proposed. Some think it is just another ofthe pyramids built by the Egyptians. Some think Adam and hissons built it before the Flood. Some think Enoch built it andthat it is the only structure to survive the Flood. Others sayNoah and his sons built it after the Flood. According to someexperts, it appears that some of its features indicate that it wasintended to be a testimony to God. Adam did not have a Bible,so God gave him the Gospel story in the stars with the 88constellations telling the entire Gospel story and God’s plan forthe ages. After the Flood, Noah still did not have a Bible so Godgave him the Gospel story in stone.

The Great Pyramid has no inscription to any Egyptian king.

It is the earliest and largest of the 67 pyramids found inEgypt. The later pyramids are of lesser quality and are merecopies of the Great Pyramid.

Inside, there is a broad way that leads to a pit and a narrowway that leads to the king’s chamber.

The 153 steps in the pyramid match the 153 fishes gatheredin John 21:11, which may be a reference to all nations of theearth gathering into the kingdom of God.

The king’s chamber is on the fiftieth row of the stones; 50was the year of Jubilee (

Inside the king’s chamber is a solid carved, empty red granitetomb the same volume as the Ark of the Covenant.

Although most have been torn off, the pyramid was origi-nally covered with 144,000 polished casing stones, the numberof witnesses in Revelation 7:4. The stones were a perfect fitsuch that many of the seams could not be seen nor a paper putbetween them today, thousands of years later.

The cornerstone at the top is missing, symbolic of Christ, therejected chief cornerstone ( Daniel 2:45; Psalm 118:22; Matthew21:42; Mk 12:10). The five-sided cornerstone may represent thenumber of grace.

The Great Pyramid is of such magnitude that it could not bebuilt today. It is 90 times the volume of the Chicago SearsTower. Napoleon said there was enough stone in the pyramid tobuild a 10-foot-high brick wall all the way around France! Somestones near the top, 400 feet from the ground, weigh 70 tons!

The foundation covers so wide an area (over 13 acres) that itcould not be built today as level as it is (less than 1/10 inch errorin 13 acres). Every locomotive in the world harnessed to thepyramid could not budge it. The door is so well joined that itwas undetectable from the outside for centuries.

The pyramid sits right on the longest latitude line and thelongest longitude line with land above sea level.

"In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midstof the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to theLORD" (Is. 19:19). The pyramid is on the border when Egyptwas divided into a northern and southern kingdom and in themidst when they united.

What is the Bermuda triangle?

There are several theories about the Bermuda triangle, somenatural; some supernatural. Some say it is hype, and nothinghappens that does not happen in other parts of the world. TheBermuda triangle could be a magnetic anomaly resulting from abending of the earth’s magnetic field. There may be a large ironore deposit or the remnants of an iron meteor buried there thatplays havoc with instruments. The ships and planes that reportunusual behavior of their instruments may be entering thisarea of disturbance. Some say the ships are lost due to theviolent suction created as the tide goes up and down throughthe coral reefs there. Small ships have been found down in thedeep “blue holes” in the coral. There may be a natural explana-tion for the reports.

Some have suggested that the triangle is a UFO parking lot, orthe entrance to hell. I personally don’t believe either of thesebut I don’t have an answer to what is causing the strangehappenings there. Although no solid explanation exists,hundreds of reports from reputable people record strangeoccurrences in the area. A deacon at Wildwood Baptist Churchin Oshkosh, Wisconsin gave me a firsthand account of hisexperience while on board a Navy ship in 1962. He was en routeto the Cuban missile crisis. As soon as his ship entered the spacebetween Florida, Cuba, and Puerto Rico, everything electrical,including wristwatches and flashlights, quit working. The shipdrifted for 24 hours, unable to radio for assistance, until it hadleft the area, and operations suddenly resumed. The area isundoubtedly unusual, although no one that I know under-stands why. If you can find out, please let me know.

What about bigfoot?

The bigfoot evidence that I have seen relies on eyewitnessaccounts rather than empirical, scientific evidence. Manypeople report sightings of creatures with similar descriptionsin several countries, as well as over 35 American states. Thereis no question that many of the sightings are hoaxes, pranks, ormis-identification. These creatures, also called Sasquatch, yeti,skunk ape or the abominable snowman, may be an unidenti-fied species of ape. Some have said it is part of a cursed race ofhumans similar to what happened to Nebuchadnezzar inDaniel 4:33, but those theories are unverified so far. I havepersonally interviewed eight people who claim they have seena bigfoot. Their descriptions agree in many details. Theydescribe it as being like the Harry from the movie “Harry andthe Hendersons” (now proven to be a hoax). I don’t have agood answer to the bigfoot question. I wish I did.

Is it possible for your television to watch you?

This is just a rumor. There is no evidence that televisions nowmonitor their viewers, and to my knowledge no technologyexists to enable them to do so. It would not surprise me if “bigbrother” was doing that or working on doing it though. Smallcameras could easily be installed in TVs to have them watchyou but the picture tube itself cannot do this now (TrumpetMinistries, www.trumpetmin.org).

What about the Mark of the Beast?

Corporations and governments have amazing technologyavailable that has been developed over the last 20 years. Revela-tion 13:16 says that Satan “causeth all, both small and great,rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark.” The Greekword translated “mark” literally means “etching.” Computermicrochips have information etched into silicon. Microchipsmay play an important part in the mark of the beast.

Many advances have been made in tracking people or items.Microchips are being implanted in pets or cars to track thoselost or stolen. Several satellites in earth’s orbit can detect themicrochip and report its coordinates. Also, Hughes AircraftCorporation developed a toll-booth substitute that tracks cars.As a car passes, this strip in the highway deducts 50 cents (orwhatever the toll is) from a debit account, makes an image ofthe license plate, and checks it to see if the car is registeredproperly or has been reported stolen and if the driver is wantedby the police. The strip can check 8 cars per second at 100 mphper lane. Finally, imbedded wire along some highways and anew hand-held device can turn off the ignition of a running carby destroying the car’s computer with a burst of energy. Thesenew control and monitoring technologies may be forerunnersof the mark of the beast

Thisis an obvious sign that they have lost the debate on facts andmust resort to other means to try to save face.

Do real scientists believe in creation?

Yes, the founders of nearly all the branches of science believedin creation ( , Henry M. Morris).

They can supply you with a list.

What was the educational background of the founders ofevolution?

As Henry Morris has pointed out, “It is worth noting thatalmost none of the leaders of this evolutionary revival had beentrained as scientists in the modern sense. None were educatedas physicists or chemists or biologists or geologists or astrono-mers or other ‘natural’ scientists. As already noted, CharlesDarwin himself was an apostate divinity student whose onlydegree was in theology. Charles Lyell was a lawyer; WilliamSmith, a surveyor; James Hutton, an agriculturalist; JohnPlayfair, a mathematician; and Robert Chambers, a journalist.Alfred Russell Wallace had little formal education of any kind,with only a brief apprenticeship in surveying. Thomas Huxleyhad an indifferent education in medicine. Herbert Spencerreceived practically no formal education, except some practicalexperience in railroad engineering. Thomas Malthus was atheologian and economist, while Erasmus Darwin was amedical doctor and poet. Of all the chief contributors to therevival of evolutionism commonly associated with CharlesDarwin, only Jean Lamarck in France and Ernst Haeckel inGermany seemed to have had a bona-fide education in thebranch of evolutionary “science” that they pursued, and theyhad their own particular anti-Christian agendas to promote”

“The Road Called Life”

The road of life, it seems to me, is not as smooth as it should be.Sometimes the road seems all uphill, like swallowing a bitter pill;Sometimes the bumps get really rough, and you give up, or else get tough.But the hardest part, it seems to me, is when you drive up to a “T.”

You must go left or else go right, and that’s what makes my stomach tight;Decisions seem so hard to make, but I must choose which road to take.That choice determines where I’ll be and also my whole family.I asked for help from those around, but their view, too, was from the ground.

And so I asked the One I knew (Who up in heaven has a view),Of all the roads that I might take, to keep me right for Jesus’ sake.I prayed and prayed and then I chose, and was I right? My Father knows,But He won’t say too much to me; He saves it for eternity.

And then I think that He will say, “My son, you could have chosen either way;I’m more concerned about your heart, than where you go or when you start.It’s not so much which way you go, but what you do with what you know.You may go left or right or straight. I’ll meet you at the pearly gateAnd welcome you with open arms, and keep you safe from all life’s harms.

I s’pose I’ll wonder every day, “What if I’d gone the other way?”But this time I’ll just do my best and pack my stuff and head out West.

universe points to a single

creation event.

Big Bang:There is actually no proof

of the big bang.1

Flood:Massive fossil graveyards point to a global

catastrophe that killed creatures by the millions

without destroying their bodies. Unusual rock

layers, human objects found in coal beds, and

extreme pressure in oil deposits indicate that this

catastrophe was water-based and happened while

man was present on earth.

Earth Forms:So far, every theory of

the earth’s formation goes

against physical laws.2

Jesus:Prophesied more than

any other event (Jesus

Christ’s virgin birth and

later his death on the cross)

was the ultimate gift God

could give mankind.10

John 3:16; Rom 3:23, 6:23

Fall of Roman Empire:The collapse of the

Roman infrastructure was

caused by many years of

barbarian raiding. This

damage proved to be too

much, sending all of

Europe into a thousand-

year Dark Age.11

Life Appears:Does a car form by

chance?

Does any mechanical

device?

Neither could life.3

Gutenberg:While kings and

politicians were still trying

to rebuild the glory of the

Roman Empire, a poor

businessman changed the

course of history with his

invention of a moveable-

type printing press.12

chimpanzee, a variant of

which is alive in Sumatra.

Man has been present

4.6 billion years agoEarth’s Formation




1. Big Bang:Scientists have tried to recreate the events of the

big bang via computer simulations but have notbeen able to without disregarding basic naturallaws. Some try to point out select naturalphenomena and claim “proof” of the big bang, butfail to realize how little science their theoriesactually employ.

For more information about the Big Bang, seePart One.

Creation Seminar

2. Radio-Polonium Halos:Perfectly concentric halos that formed around

radioactive elements in igneous rock (granite andother) prove that the aarth was never a hot, moltenmass as evolutionists claim.

For more information, read Creation’s Tiny Mystery.

2. Formation of the Earth:The second law of thermodynamics states that

everything tends toward disorder. Every evolutionarytheory that describes this event violates this law.Merely adding energy does not negate this fact.

For more information, see Part One.Creation Seminar

3. Symbioses:Around the world, we find countless sets of

creatures and plants that cannot exist and/orreproduce without the other, thus invalidating thetheory that these organisms developed separatelyover millions of years.

Examples: Clown fish and sea anemonesYucca plants and yucca mothsTermites and their parasites

For more information, see In the Beginning.

3. Formation of Life:If a car can’t form by chance, how could a

“simple” cell spontaneously form when each cell, byitself, is more complex than the space shuttle?

For more information, see andPart Four.

Darwin’s Black Box CreationSeminar

4. Massive Fossil Graveyards:There are many facts that point to rapid,

catastrophic conditions which killed without warning.• Large groups of iguanodons killed simultaneously• Fossilized creatures found eating each other• Marine mammals, including whales, found inhuge deposits of dead diatoms

For more information, see Part Six.Creation Seminar

4. Man Appears:Science proves that humans can only produce

humans, dogs only produce dogs, and trees onlyproduce trees. There are no missing links.

For more information, see and CreationSeminar Part Four.

Bones of Contention

5. Global Catastrophe:Around the world, we find enormous layers of

sedimentary rock (rock that is formed in water),proving that at one time the earth was covered inwater. Signs of massive runoff, such as the GrandCanyon, show that it happened quickly.

For more information, see Part Six.Creation Seminar

5. Present:At this point in history, information is more easily

assessable than at any other time, yet many peoplecontinue to reject the truth. Unfortunately, this isreflected in all aspects of life.

For more information, see Part Five.Creation Seminar

6. Unusual Rock Layers:Polystrate fossils, transposed rock layers

(according to the geologic column), and millions ofclosed, petrified clams—none of these areexplainable by evolution.

For more information, see Creation Seminar Part Four.

7. Coal Beds:Human objects, such as the bell pictured here,

found inside coal beds prove that humans existedbefore the formation of coal.

For more details and other objects found inside coal beds, seePart Two.Creation Seminar

8. Oil Deposits:Oil is frequently found at extremely high pressures.

It is not possible for the rock to have contained thispressure for millions of years; therefore, the oil wasformed recently and under great pressure. The size ofthe deposits indicates that they must have beenproduced in a recent catastrophe like Noah’s Flood.

For more information, see Part One.Creation Seminar

9. Red Sea Crossing:

dry

Some claim that naturally occurring wind caused thewater to became shallow enough for the Israelites towalk across. However, the Bible is very specific, sayingthat they crossed on ground while a pillar of cloudprevented Pharaoh’s army from attacking the Israelites.

For more information, see Exodus 13-15, www.wyattmuseum.com,and Part Seven.Creation Seminar

10. Jesus:Jesus Christ is the one and only bridge between

God and man. There is no other way a Holy God couldsave His creation from their sinful ways than bysacrificing His only begotten Son. Those who do notbelieve in God and repent of their sins will be judged.

The best of source of information about Jesus is the Bible.

11. Rome Falls:The Roman Empire provided a communication and

transportation system that enabled a “civilized” Europe.This culture was a sort of “collective intelligence” thatwas the essence of the empire, more so than thegovernment or army. When barbarians finally destroyedRome, there was no longer an effective way to shareinformation. Without this collective intelligence, chaoswas inevitable, and the Dark Ages resulted.

12. Gutenberg:With the invention of the printing press, people were

able to share knowledge with unprecedented ease. Thisrejuvenation of collective knowledge brought about acultural revolution that catapulted Europe into being thedominating force in the world for centuries. Massiveimprovements in complexity and order are not possiblewithout equally massive improvements in intelligence.

1. Rings of Saturn:Saturn’s entire ring structure is very complex and

difficult to explain via evolution. One of the rings,the “F” ring (see picture) has an intricate, unstable“braiding” feature that leaves evolutionists at a losswhen trying to describe how this could havepersisted for more than a few thousand years.

JOSEPHJOSEPH

NAHORNAHOR

1. From the information given in Genesis 5and 11, it is easy to construct a chart likethis. Genealogies are also found in Luke 3and I Chronicles 1; however the spellingvaries in a few instances and three peopleare excluded in some lists for good reason.Some have unwisely used this fact to justifyadding millions of years to Scripture.

2. Jesus said in Matthew 19:4 and Mark10:6 that the creation of Adam and Eve was

(see I Cor. 15:45 andRomans 5:12-14). By further comparingExodus 20:11, Acts 13:20-21, I Kings 2:11,11:42 and other dates given in theand known history, it becomes obvious thatthe teaches that Adam was createdabout 6,000 years ago, not “billions ofyears ago” as the textbooks and even someChristians now teach.

3. There are scores of scientific ways toshow that the earth and universe are not“billions of years old.” For example:

a. The sun is losing 5 million tons persecond. At this rate, several billion yearsago, the sun’s gravity would have beenmuch stronger, pulling the earth into it.

b. The earth’s spin is slowing down about1/1000 of a second per day. Because ofthis fact we have a “leap second” where asecond is added to the clock every 10months. Billions of years ago, the earthwould have been spinning so fast that lifeon earth would have been impossible.

c. The distance to the moon is increasingwith each revolution. Since the moonobviously used to be closer to the earth,

and the moon causes the tides, the tideswould have been great enough to drowneverything on earth billions of years ago.

d. The thin layer of dust on the moon, thesmall amount of sediment in the oceans,the rate of heat loss of Earth, Jupiter, andother bodies in space, the erosion rate ofthe mountains, the weakening magneticfield, the small (though increasing) amountof salt in the ocean, the small humanpopulation (compared to the growth rate),the rate cave formations develop, and ahost of other facts from all branches ofscience show that the earth is not billions ofyears old. (See videotape #1 for moreinformation on this subject.)

4. Genesis 1:6-7 and II Peter 3 tell of acanopy of “water above the firmament.”Many scientists believe this canopy of water(or possibly ice) provided greater airpressure and a shield from the sun’sharmful rays. These factors could explainthe great age and size of man and animalsbefore the Flood. After the Flood, thecanopy was gone and the life span droppedoff rapidly in the next few generations. (SeeGen. 47:9 and order video tapes # 1, 2 & 4for more on this.)

5. The tower of Babel incident probablytook place during the days of Peleg when“the earth was divided” (see Gen. 10:25).The languages, nationalities, and possiblythe races were created at the tower ofBabel. Over the next few decades peoplemigrated to all parts of the world before theearth was “divided.” (Order video tape #6for more information on this.)

6. II Peter 3:8: “One day with the Lord isas a thousand (not billion) years, and athousand years as one day.” Bishop Usshercalculated the creation to be 4004 BC. (Ourcalendar is off by about four years sinceChrist was born around 4 BC.) Could it bethat God is working on a 7,000 yearcalendar for the earth and that the 7th day(1000 years) is what is referred to in Rev.20:2-7 and Isaiah 11:6-16; 65:17-25? Iwouldn’t be dogmatic about it, but it wouldbe smart to be ready for I Thess.4:16-18!(See also: Matt. 24:37-38; Luke 17: 26-27;Heb. 11:7; I Peter 3:20; II Peter 2:5.)

7. Methuselah’s name apparently means“when he dies it shall come.” Could it bethat God told Enoch to name him that? TheFlood started when Methuselah died.Enoch did not know when his son woulddie. Maybe Enoch stayed so close to theLord that God just took him to heavenwithout dying? (See Gen. 5:21-24.)

8. Adam knew Methuselah for 243 years.

9. Shem knew Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

10. The first 2,157 years of history arecovered by three men whose lives overlap(Adam, Methuselah and Shem).

11. How much could you learn in 950years? The wisdom and inventions of thepre-Flood era were probably much greaterthan we can imagine (See video #7).

12. Noah had six living ancestors thatcould have known Adam personally.

13. All ten of Abraham’s post-Floodancestors (even Noah) were alive for hisearly life (imagine family reunions)! Thereis a discrepancy about Terah’s age at birthof Abram. This is explained on our Web sitein FAQ.

14. Noah had aunts, uncles, brothers, andsisters that probably drowned in the Flood(Genesis 5:30). Noah may have had othersons and daughters born before Japheththat also drowned (Gen. 5:32).
