Can a Supernatural Hypothesis be Falsifiable?
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One of the main ways that evolutionists try to claim the creation science is not science is by insisting that science only allows for naturalistic explanations. This is usually justified by claiming that supernatural explanations are not falsifiable. The real reason for insisting that only naturalistic explanations is the fact that only naturalistic explanations are acceptable to atheists, and they seem to have undue influence within the establishment scientific community.

Why Natural Selection Is To Broad for Universal Common Descent to Work
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
In order for the notion of universal common descent evolution to be true there needs to be a mechanism capable of producing the many gigabytes are complex specific information that is found throughout the DNA of all living things. No natural process has ever actually been demonstrated to be capable of accomplishing this task. The solution proposed by Charles Darwin and blindly accepted as workable by evolutionists to this day is called Natural Selection. The problem is that there is no real evidence that it really exists let alone that it is capable of what is subscribed to it.

Does Information Require an Author?
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
This question is important because DNA contains information, in fact, it contains complex specific encoded information. The answer to this question depends entirely upon which type of information you are referring to. Understanding this difference is the key to understanding why a naturalistic origin of life is fundamentally unworkable and impossible.

Do Genetic Algorithms Show That Intelligence is Not Needed to Produce Information?
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
A genetic algorithm is a search algorithm that seeks optimization by random changes within a population of solutions. They are alleged to mimic natural selection and because of this they are used as evidence of universal common descent evolution being possible and claimed as proof that information need not be the product of an intelligent mind. However, when one looks closely and objectively at these algorithms, they actually do the opposite.

Statistical Versus Complex Specific Information
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
In talking about whether or not genetic information suggests an intelligent designer, Evolutionists will often refer to the paper on information theory by Claude Shannon called “A Mathematical Theory of Communication”. They use it primarily to attack the idea that random mutations reduce genetic information. However, it turns out that they are confusing statistical information with complex specific information.
Shannon’s paper with a mathematical description of the transmission and storage of information. It does not deal with information content. In other words, his paper deals exclusively with statistical information which may or may not have any meaning. Complex specific information on the other hand has specific meaning and is only known to be the result directly or indirectly of intelligence.

Abiogenesis, a Thermodynamic Impossibility
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
A common creationist argument against abiogenesis is that it violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics based on the fact that abiogenesis would require a huge reduction and entropy, and the second law indicates that entropy increases. The evolutionist response is that this is not true because the Earth is an open system and gets energy from the sun which can allow entropy to decrease locally. This response is correct, but the evolutionists making this response are using energy like a magic wand. They act as if all you need to do is apply energy to a system and its entropy will magically decrease.

What are the Probabilities of Abiogenesis Occurring?
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The notion that life spontaneously and naturalistically developed from non-living chemicals, also known as abiogenesis, is an absolute necessity of an atheistic worldview. When you see the material in any media by evolutionists on the topic, the impression is given that all you need is the right conditions and proof life is guaranteed to arise. In fact, this is the main idea behind the notion of the existence of alien civilizations in space. The notion is that with all the trillions of stars and planets that exist in the universe, life must have developed on another planet someplace.

The Relationship Between Evolution and Abiogenesis
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
When the problems with naturalistic abiogenesis are raised to evolutionists, they will often respond by claiming that evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life. While this is true in the most technical sense, without a specific theory on the origin of life any theory on its subsequent history is a non-starter. It is pointless to postulate that all life on earth is descended from a single common ancestor when you have no way of getting that ancestor. The reason evolutionists insist on separation is because they have no real theory of abiogenesis and in fact it shows universal common descent evolution to be the dead end that it is.

The Inherently Atheistic Nature of Naturalism
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Naturalism is the philosophical concept that only natural processes are real. At its core it represents a complete philosophical denial of anything supernatural. This by its very nature excludes God from the picture, at best relegating Him to working behind the scenes. It fundamentally excludes anything that would not have happened from an atheistic perspective. It really leaves no place for God, and it turns out that that is the whole purpose behind it.

Flaws in Naturalistic Planetary Formation Theory
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
You hear planet formation theory talked about as if it were proven fact immediately observable. The most they have are some pictures of stars that have clouds of dust around them with planets in them. So, they have detected dust around some stars are also have planets orbiting them and they call this confirmation of planet formation theory. However, this theory has many problems including the fact that planets are not always found where they are supposed to be.

Lunar Recession and the Age of the Earth - Part 7
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
In this final installment in this series on lunar recession, in an effort to be thorough and to give the 4.5 billion year figure every possible chance a simulation was run specifically so as to match the Paleontological Data. However, the results only make matters worst for the 4.5 billion year figure because it not only fails to save the figure but actually raises more problems for it.
This chart shows how this backward projection goes for the number of days in a year as compared to the old Earth proponents' own Paleontological Data. While it obviously fits that data it happens by artificially adjusting the phase angle (θ) specifically to fit it and not based on any actual geological bases.

Lunar Recession and the Age of the Earth Part 4
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists, being ever desperate to save their old earth models from this problem caused by the laws of physics, have posed some solutions. In this part, we will look at a particular solution that has been proposed illustrating why it really does not fix the problem.
This proposed solution claims that continental location affects tidal drag. While this is true since the closer the Moon the stronger its pull on the Earth the rate of change tends to get very large. The result is that to save the old Earth model it becomes necessary to virtually eliminate the effect of the continents.

Lunar Recession and the Age of the Earth Part 6
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The Giant Collision Hypothesis of the origin of the Moon proposes that the Moon formed as a result of a collision between the Earth and a Mars-size body referred to as Theia. This is the latest in a long line of theories and it will probably be taught in schools as fact only to be replaced in a few decades by a new theory that will be taught as fact. One evolutionist illustrated the difficulty they have in explaining the Moon by purely natural means by jokingly saying that the best explanation for the Moon is “observational error.”

Lunar Recession and the Age of the Earth Part 5
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
There have been several efforts by Old Earth proponents to try to defend a 4.5-billion-year-old earth from laws of physics. Most responses to the lunar recession issue found on anti-creationist websites are little more than copy and paste jobs from other anti-creationist web sites. There is a common argument based on a paper written by Kirk S Hansen in 1982.

Lunar Recession and the Age of the Earth Part 3
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
This third part on lunar recession deals with paleontological data claimed as evidence of four lunar recession over deep time. This is not correct data, about the fossil evidence that is interpreted within the old earth model as producing such data. While this is not a problem from the perspective of Biblical creation you know because Calculations are not valid from a creationist perspective, and it is too scattered to represent real data. However, it provides a set of data to compare old earth models for lunar recession that they must obey.

Lunar Recession and the Age of the Earth Part 2
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
In part one we discussed the basics of lunar recession including the most basic backwards projections. In this part we will look at three more realistic backwards projections that is based on the measured slowing of the earth rotation. The difference here is a result of the actual shape and composition of the Tarth. The second backwards projection is based on a common mistake made when trying to refute lunar recession as an issue for an old earth, where they simply try to project the observed slowing rate of the Earth's rotation backwards. The third projection assumes a constant rotation rate for the earth.
