Why Carbon Dating Supports a Young Earth Oct 31, 2024

Carbon dating is often seen as a challenge to a young Earth view, but does it actually align with biblical history? Dr. Mark Harwood explains how carbon dating can be a tool for creationists, discussing key scientific principles and revealing surprising findings in coal, diamonds, and dinosaur bones. He unpacks how assumptions in radiocarbon dating methods impact results, emphasizing why the historical record, particularly the Bible, should be the ultimate authority over scientific interpretations of the past.

Opals Show the Earth is Young Oct 24, 2024

With their shimmering rainbow colors, opals are a favorite gemstone of many. But are they really, as gem shops often claim, “millions of years in the making”? Or are they a reminder of a relatively recent global Flood, and the Creator’s rainbow promise?

Join geologist, Dr Tas Walker, as he provides evidence that opals form rapidly—with colors even forming in a matter of minutes! Learn how all that is need is the right ingredients and conditions—both of which are provided by Noah's Flood, as recorded in the Bible!

Why God Is the Best Explanation for Rationality Oct 15, 2024

To support Creation Talk and our ministry (mentioned at the end) visit: creation.com/donate

What worldview best explains the human capacity to think and make rational inferences? According to the ‘argument from reason’, this is strong evidence for the existence of God, especially the Creator God of the Bible. If humans were created in God’s image and God designed our minds, it is unsurprising that they work and can perform impressive feats. But if atheism were true and humans were merely accidental byproducts of evolution, what is the likelihood such a blind process would produce creatures who can reason properly?

To delve more deeply into this topic, Dawn Blount interviews Keaton Halley, an apologist with Creation Ministries International. They discuss rationality, consciousness, natural selection, randomness, and evidence for the soul. At the end of the day, it’s clear that reason requires God. As C.S. Lewis once noted, the human ability to think and reason is the “cardinal difficulty with naturalism”.

Mutations: A HUGE problem for Evolution Oct 10, 2024

🎬 Get FREE access to the award-winning documentary Evolution’s Achilles’ Heels here: https://creation.com/45eah

For nearly a century it has been claimed that mutations are the engine that drives evolution, bringing new traits and information to the genome.

And yet, the more we have learned about mutations, the more they have been shown for what they really are: A destructive force, rather than a creative one—responsible for hundreds of thousands of different diseases in humans alone!

Even when mutations produce ‘beneficial’ changes (for example, bacteria developing resistance to antibiotics), a closer examination nevertheless reveals that mutations have broken something existing, rather than creating something new.

Mutations aren’t the engine of evolution. They are its end.

Join plant biologist Dr Don Batten for a revealing exploration of the true power of mutations.

The Brain Didn’t Evolve – A Psychiatrist Explains Why Oct 03, 2024

How did the human brain (or any other kind of brain, for that matter) come to be? Most people are so used to hearing that ALL the wonders of biology are the product of evolution, that they don’t stop to ponder the details. Is ‘unguided evolution’ a reasonable scientific explanation for the origin of the stunningly complex, inextricably integrated, and apparently over-engineered human brain? Or is ‘design’, in fact, a more reasonable conclusion, based on the evidence?

Join psychiatrist, Dr Dianne Grocott, for a fascinating discussion of the grey matter that enables creationists and evolutionists alike to ponder anything at all.

If Darwin was alive today, knowing what we know about living things, would he still be an Evolutionist? Charles Darwin’s theories changed what the world believes about biological naturalism. His contributions to science are legendary, yet he knew nothing about the complexity of living things.

Our guest, Dr Robert Carter, is a marine biologist and geneticist. He’s studied Darwin’s work, examined the Galapagos Islands firsthand, and debated the origins of life with skeptics.

Why the Human Body Did NOT Evolve Aug 29, 2024

To subscribe to our email newsletter, Creation INFObytes (mentioned at the end of the video), visit: creation.com/40infobytes

For years, medical doctor / psychiatrist, Dr Dianne Grocott, never questioned evolution. But when evidence was presented to her that contradicted the billions-of-years-of-evolution narrative, she was left asking, “Why wasn’t I told this?!”

Her own training in medicine enabled her to clearly see how features of the human body which she had previously been told were amazing outcomes of evolution, are in fact products of incredible design and goal-oriented planning. In fact, it is inconceivable that processes such as the blood clotting system, or birth, could have been cobbled together over numerous iterations of trial-and-error. No organism would have survived such experimentation with its vital, complex, interconnected biological systems!

The human body simply did NOT evolve! Join Dr Grocott to find out (just SOME of the reasons) why!

Why Evolution is a Fairytale for Grown-Ups Aug 22, 2024

Most people have been told that evolution is good, observable science. But industrial chemist, Dr Stephen Grocott, says evolution is actually based on a series of ‘once a upon a time’ stories—and that even most scientists don’t realize that evolution is not, in fact, observable science. These are bold claims! But are they defensible? Join us as Dr Grocott (himself a former evolutionist) explains why he believes evolution is a fairytale, and provides some fascinating supporting evidence!

Why Dinosaurs DID NOT Evolve into Birds Aug 15, 2024

Evolutionists believe that birds are dinosaurs. We disagree. Why aren't birds dinosaurs? What are three ways to distinguish a bird from a dinosaur? For one, their unique hip socket. Two, their tail. And three, their respiratory system; rigid lung, Air sacs (pumps) with uni-directional air flow, Pneumatic bones, 'internal' thigh.

Birds have a unique body plan that is very different from what we see in dinosaurs and reptiles. It does not make biological sense to group these creatures togethers. Birds are not dinosaurs.

Why Life Couldn’t Have Evolved From Non-Living Chemicals Aug 01, 2024

Atheists must believe that living creatures evolved from non-living chemicals, via a process commonly called chemical evolution (aka abiogenesis). But real scientific laws, especially of chemistry and information theory, refute this. Chemical processes go in the opposite direction required.

For example, life needs exclusively ‘one=handed’ molecules, while random chemistry produces an equal mix of left and right handed molecules. Also, little molecules in water don’t combine to form the needed big molecules; rather any big molecules break down to little molecules.

Yet another problem is the wrong kinds of reactions, which chemical evolutionists avoid by buying pure reactants. Chemical evolutionists also can’t explain the encyclopedic information content needed for enzymes, DNA, and molecular machines essential for life.

Join physical chemist Dr Jonathan Sarfati for a discussion of the building blocks of life, and how everything we know about chemistry argues against the imagined chemical start to evolution.

Science Wouldn’t Exist Without Christianity Jul 11, 2024

Science requires many assumptions to work. A major one is an orderly universe. But an orderly universe doesn’t follow from an atheistic or pagan worldview. It does follow from the biblical teaching of a divine Lawmaker who is a God of order. Science first flourished in Medieval Europe thanks to the rise of the university and theologian–natural-philosopher class. The Reformation brought Christians back to objective understanding of Scripture, which was transferred to understanding nature.

Later scientists like Francis Bacon were motivated by trying to recapture the knowledge they thought Adam had before his Fall. Many atheists have made false claims about Christians believing in a flat earth, opposing childbirth pain relief, and totally misrepresenting the Galileo controversy.

Join us as we discuss the Christian origins of real science.

Why Evolution Cannot Explain Morality Jun 27, 2024

There are many different ways to logically show that God must exist. One approach is called the ‘moral argument’. It shows that objective morals (i.e., moral standards that are not derived from human beings, but stand above them) clearly exist, and that God is the only reasonable explanation for them.

20 Criticisms of Christianity and Creation ANSWERED May 23, 2024

Does Christianity lack logic, reason, and evidence? Worse, is it “the cancer of humanity”? Is the Bible “just fairy stories and ancient scribblings”? Is the God of the Bible a moral monster? Are Christians hypocrites who brainwash their children? Are they just driven by fear of punishment? Are creationists science deniers who “tell lies for Jesus”?

These, and many more, are criticisms of Christianity and biblical creation that we hear regularly. If even half of these claims were true, Christianity would be a wretched religion indeed!

But they're not true! In fact, many of these criticisms don’t even withstand low-level scrutiny, never much less serious appraisal!

Only the Bible Can Explain the Ice Age May 09, 2024

We are told that there have been multiple ice ages in Earth’s history. What does that even mean? What is an ice age? What physical evidence would one leave? And most importantly of all, how does an ice age start (and later, stop)?

Secular scientists have major trouble modelling how even one ice age could start in the real world—never mind multiple ice ages! And they have many associated ice age mysteries to explain—such as the post-ice age extinction event.

The biblical post-Flood Ice Age model, on the other hand, does a good job of explaining the observed evidence! After all, if the Bible is a true record of history, it makes sense that it would have strong explanatory power when trying to make sense of the past!

New Telescope Findings Challenge Big Bang Theory Apr 25, 2024

On Christmas Day, 2021, the world’s most powerful space telescope was launched. A joint effort between the North American and European Space Agencies (NASA and ESA), the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)’s “primary aim is to shed light on our cosmic origins”.

So, how's the mission going? What discoveries has this multi-billion-dollar marvel of technology and engineering produced? Are the latest cosmic revelations consistent with the big bang model of the universe (as was widely predicted before JWST was launched)? Or has the data, in fact, contradicted that model? How has the biblical model of the origin of the universe fared (and were creationist predictions about JWST findings any more accurate)?

Why Natural Selection is NOT Evolution Mar 13, 2024

Instances of natural selection are constantly held up as examples of evolution in action.

But they are no such thing. Creation scientists know it. Evolutionary scientists know. And yet textbooks and the popular media continue to use examples of natural selection to promote evolution. It’s misleading at best; simply deceptive, at worst.

Does Truth Matter and Why? Feb 28, 2024

We live in an age where it is common to hear terms such as ‘My Truth’ and ‘Your Truth’, and people are encouraged to believe whatever they want. Anyone who claims to know absolute truth is seen as dogmatic, divisive, and intolerant.

At the same time, we live in an age where it is increasingly difficult to know what’s real and what’s not. Many people simply don’t know what to believe anymore; they are genuinely unsure what is trustworthy, reliable and … true!

As Dr Mark Harwood explains, truth is real—and it can be known. What’s more, we all desperately need it, so that we can build our lives on a steady foundation of reality. Join us as we explore TRUTH.

Why Does God Allow Death & Suffering? Feb 14, 2024

One of the most-asked questions by both Christians and non-Christians alike is: ‘If God is a god of love, why is there so much death and suffering in the world?’

The Bible actually provides a clear explanation for how the world came to be in this state. God didn’t make it this way—we did! In fact, God has gone to extraordinary lengths to rescue us from the very painful mess we have gotten ourselves into. In the process, He experienced the worst of suffering and death—and in fact conquered them ‘from the inside’ so to speak. Christians need have no fear of suffering and death!

Why, then, do so many Christians still struggle with this question?

Find out why evolutionary thinking is at the heart of the problem, in this helpful discussion with author, speaker, and researcher, Gary Bates.

5 Reasons the Bible is the Only True Holy Book Jan 17, 2024

There are many religions in the world, and many holy books. Even a cursory examination shows that they do not agree with each other. Clearly, they can’t all be right. So, are they all wrong? Are any of them right? How would we be able to tell?

Christians claim that the Bible is the one true, written revelation from God. That’s a big claim! Can the claim be tested? What’s the evidence?

Dr Mark Harwood says the Bible can, indeed, be both tested and trusted. Join the conversation as he provides evidence from five different areas: perfectly fulfilled prophecies, observations of the world around us are consistent with the Bible, the Bible has a unified message (though written by 40 authors over 1,500+ years), the Bible is inerrant, the impact of the Bible on people’s lives

And if the Bible is true, how should we respond?

Does Coal Prove the Earth is Young? Jan 03, 2024

What do coal seams tell us about Earth’s history?

Do they show signs of having formed very slowly—over millions of years—in huge swamps? (This is the most common naturalistic explanation of how coal formed.)

Or does the evidence point to vast quantities of vegetation being rapidly, catastrophically buried in a flood of, well, biblical proportions—only a few thousand years ago? (This is what biblical creationists claim.)

The real-world evidence is consistent with one of these stories—but directly contradicts the other! But which one?

Join geologist, Dr Tas Walker, for a fascinating exploration of coal—and the true history of Earth.

Are Aliens Actually Demons? Dec 20, 2023

Numerous people around the world claim to have seen UFOs or experienced interactions with aliens. An unbiased assessment of the evidence shows that something is certainly going on, and even the US government is now open about the fact that they are investigating!

Is there a viable, naturalistic explanation? Are aliens physically visiting Earth—and if so, why? Or does the evidence point to a more supernatural explanation? Are these ‘aliens’ being completely honest with experiencers? And why do they seem so interested in, yet bothered by, Jesus Christ?

Join UFO-researcher and speaker, Gary Bates, for an enlightening and genuinely helpful discussion on the alien/UFO phenomenon.

Flood Expert Finds Evidence for Noah’s Flood Dec 06, 2023

If there really was a global flood—as the Bible has always said—then there should be abundant evidence of that fact, right?

But what would that evidence look like?

And who could be better placed to ‘see’ such evidence than a scientist who studies the way that floods and flowing water shapes landscapes?

Join fluvial geomorphologist, Dr Ron Neller, for a fascinating discussion of the evidence that, over a 30-year period, eventually led him to conclude that there has, indeed, been a global flood on Earth—as the Bible describes.

4 Evidences of a Young Earth Nov 22, 2023

Everybody has heard—REPEATEDLY—that the earth is billions of years old. People are led to believe that this is an unassailable scientific fact.

IT’S NOT! There are many people—including well-qualified scientists—who believe the evidence can be read QUITE DIFFERENTLY. In fact, there are numerous lines of evidence that contradict the millions/billions-of-years idea, and instead point to a relatively ‘young’ Earth!

Join Dr Don Batten for an illuminating discussion of just FOUR such evidences. (And for many more evidences, see LINKS AND SHOW NOTES, below.)

10-Year-Old Rock Dated at 2 Million Years?! Nov 08, 2023

In 1980, Mount St. Helens (in Washington State, USA) erupted, blasting the top and side off the mountain.

Then, as volcanoes do, it began to rebuild. In 1992, samples of new volcanic rock—KNOWN to be only about 10 years old—were dated using standard radiometric dating techniques.

The results were eye-opening.

Radiometric dating is not all it’s cracked up to be! In fact, it’s fair to ask: “Can radiometric dates be trusted at all?”

Join geologist Dr Tas Walker for a discussion of the Mount St. Helens eruption and its aftermath, the fundamental flaws in radiometric dating methods, and the relevance of the age of the earth to people’s view of the world.

Are Creationists Actually Hyper Evolutionists? Nov 02, 2023

Atheists, parroted by Genesis compromisers, accuse biblical (young earth) creationists of believing in rapid evolution after the Ark landed.

But the creationist model has always included rapid variation, and rejects fixity of species. And the thousands of Ark animals were land vertebrates; most of the millions of species were invertebrates and marine creatures.

Will Scientists EVER Find Earth 2.0? Oct 25, 2023

Is Earth really the only planet in our vast universe that supports life? After all, there are trillions of other stars out there—and the number of planets is likely to be huge!

For those who believe that everything created itself by natural processes, this is almost unthinkable. But for those who believe the Bible’s account of origins, it makes perfect sense.

The question is, what does the evidence say?

Join Dr Mark Harwood (who played a key role in the development of Australia’s national satellite system) for a discussion of exoplanets: What are they? How do astronomers find them? And above all, what would it take for one of them to become a contender to be ‘Earth 2.0’?

3 Reasons Dinosaurs Can’t Be Old! Oct 11, 2023

Dinosaurs have long been used to popularise the idea that life on Earth has been evolving for hundreds of millions of years. Almost from the cradle, people are taught about ‘the age of the dinosaurs’, which is said to have ended over 65 million years ago—LONG before humans evolved.

But what if this account is all wrong? What if there is evidence that dinosaur fossils are MUCH younger than claimed—and that these fascinating creatures shared the Earth with humans?!

This would upset the entire evolutionary understanding of the fossil record! However, it would be perfectly consistent with the biblical account of history.

Join Dr Don Batten for a discussion of evidence which shows that dinosaurs CAN’T be old.

Mammals Eating Dinosaurs…How Could This Be??? Oct 05, 2023

Dinosaurs must have been Ark passengers. Most dinosaur fossils were formed by the Flood, and God told Noah to take two of every land vertebrate alive before the Flood. There were far fewer dinosaur kinds than species or genera, and the average size of a full-grown dino was about the size of a bison/buffalo. But Noah probably boarded much smaller juveniles a year before their growth spurt.

The Ark had an equivalent volume of 340 semitrailers, so there was plenty of room for all the animals, water, and food.

Who Created God? Sep 30, 2023

‘Who created God?’ is an age-old question. Children sometimes ask it because they’re curious. But atheists more commonly ask it because they think it is a ‘gotcha’ question for Christians.

So, is it really a ‘gotcha’ question? Does God—like everything else in the universe—need a cause? Or have atheists made an error in logic in assuming this?

As Dr Don Batten explains, ‘Who created God?’ has a simple, logical answer—so Christians have no need to be intimidated! On the other hand, atheists have some explaining of their own to do when it comes to first causes!

Whale Fossils in the Desert - Evidence of Worldwide Flood? Sep 27, 2023

How did 80 whales end up fossilized in the Chilean desert? What sort of conditions led to them: i) Swimming there in the first place, and ii) Getting RAPIDLY and DEEPLY buried so that they would fossilize?

Can evolutionary history supply a satisfactory explanation for this—as well as the many other marine fossil graveyards all over the world? Or does the global Flood described in the Bible supply the best explanation for the evidence?

And if the biblical Flood (or something like it) is, indeed a good explanation, why don’t geologists talk about it in the mainstream science journals?

Get answers to these questions and more in this discussion with creationist geologist, Dr Tas Walker!

If God Is Good, Why Do Bad Things Happen? Sep 13, 2023

One of the most-asked questions by both Christians and non-Christians alike is: ‘If God is good and loving, why is there so much evil and suffering in the world?’

Is God UNABLE to do something about the situation (i.e. not all-powerful)? Or is He UNCARING (i.e. not all-good)? Or perhaps, as some critics claim, the presence of evil and suffering in the world are proof that God DOESN’T EXIST at all?

The answer is ‘none of the above’! As Dr Mark Harwood explains, the biblical account of history makes sense of the world around us, including evil and suffering, and provides deep and meaningful hope through even the darkest personal pain.

Teaching Kids a Biblical View of Dinosaurs Aug 16, 2023

Children are being indoctrinated—almost from the cradle—with a secular view of dinosaurs that contradicts the Bible. How can we teach them to think differently about these fascinating creatures? What do dinosaur fossils ACTUALLY teach us? Does it, in fact, line up with biblical history?

In this interview, Dr Tas Walker shares some of his experiences, including questions to ask and helpful tips for teaching kids about dinosaurs from a biblical perspective.

Why The Earth Can’t be Old! Aug 02, 2023

Is the Earth 4.5 billion years old? How can we measure age with certainty? What about radiometric dating methods—don’t they prove millions and billions of years? Does the age of the Earth even matter? Dr Mark Harwood discusses these topics and more, focusing especially on why an old Earth sits in conflict with the Bible, while also providing evidence for a younger age of the Earth.

What is BibleProject’s Framework View of Creation Week? Jul 27, 2023

What looks to be a brilliant teaching on creation week by BibleProject is really an already refuted view of the framework hypothesis. This literary view is typically used to allow the idea of millions of years into the text of Genesis 1. Join us as we use Scripture to examine some of the core problems with this view.
