Problems with the Idea of Apparent Age in Young Earth Creation
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One of the ideas claimed as a way of explaining how an Earth that is 6000 years old can be dated at billions of years old and for explaining how we can see distant starlight is the idea that God created the earth and the universe with apparent age. There are, however, multiple problems with this idea. Please note, this is not to be confused with a mature creation, where God created things with what might be called functional age. For example, God would have created Adam and Eve as fully functional adults. The same would be the case for plants and animals as well. However, what the apparent age idea proposes is that God included needless artificial age.
What if We Find Life Elsewhere in the Solar System
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
At this time the probe, known as Europa Clipper, is on its way to Jupiter. Its mission is to make repeated close-up observations of Jupiter's moon Europa. One of the reasons for this mission is the hope of finding evidence of life on the small moon. It is thought that there is probably a surface ocean underneath the ice that makes up Europa surface. This is suggested by the cracks and other features that are found across Europa’s surface.
The question before us here is what the consequences from a creationist perspective would be if life was discovered on Europa or any other object in the solar system. The response of evolutionists is obvious and in fact it has already been indicated. If we find any life within the solar system, they will immediately conclude that it is evidence that abiogenesis is very common. However, there are two possibilities that a creationist perspective offers, that would have no effect whatsoever of supporting any possibility of abiogenesis.
Top 10 Successful Young Earth Creation Predictions that Result Directly from What is in the Bible
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One common claim that evolutionists use against creationists is that we never produce any testable Predictions. This, of course, is blatantly untrue because there are a number of creationist theories that do just that, and frequently these predictions are things that surprise evolutionists when they are demonstrated to be true. However, you do not have to go to specific creationist models to get successfully made predictions. This is because there are a number of predictions that come naturally out of the Biblical account.
Creationists or Evolutionists: Who Really Ignores Evidence?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists frequently accuse creationists of ignoring evidence. There are two main reasons for this. The first is that most evolutionists are convinced by their education that all the evidence support the Big Bang to man evolutionary story. Consequently, the only explanation. for not agreeing with it, is that you are ignoring the evidence. Furthermore, they frequently confuse the interpretation of evidence for the evidence itself. The result of this perspective is that they conclude that rejecting the interpretation is the same as ignoring or even denying the evidence.
Why Do Evolutionists Often See Creationists As Stupid?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists tend to look down on Creationists. They will frequently accuse anyone who does not agree with them on the topic of origins of being stupid. This is particularly true of those who reject universal common ancestry of all life on earth, even if they agree that changes do occur as a part of a species adapting to changes in its environment. The simple fact of the matter is that if you disagree with them on any aspect of The Big Bang to man atheistic mythology, you are to be simply dismissed as an idiot. Anything you have to say is certainly not to be given any consideration beyond attacking it.
Is Science vs Faith Just a Myth?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The claim is often made that science in faith are always at odds with each other. This claim is particularly made when discussing topics like those concerning origins come into play. This is because there are models claimed by the scientific establishment as being scientific while the Bible describes God creating everything. However, it turns out that there are reasons why this is nothing but a myth resulting from atheistic influences in the mainstream scientific community.
Is Evolution Inherently Atheistic?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
In the discussion about evolution there is definitely an atheistic tone among evolutionists. When dealing with the question of whether or not evolution itself is inherently atheistic you have to specify what you mean by evolution. Evolutionists frequently use the word evolution to refer to both adaptation and universal common descent despite the fact that they are not the same thing. Their thinking is that over the long-haul adaptation leads to universal common descent.
However, when you research the idea of universal common descent, including its history and philosophy, you learn very quickly that it is inherently atheistic. This is because when you exclude a common designer as a possibility, common descent is the only possible way of explaining genetic and chemical data. Furthermore, the reaction to ideas such as intelligent design demonstrates the atheistic connection better than anything else can.
The Heat Problem of Young Earth Creation Science
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One of the most significant scientific challenges facing Young Earth Creation Science is the “heat problem.” This issue arises when the processes invoked to explain Earth’s geology, astronomy, and past cataclysms, such as a global flood or accelerated radioactive decay, are examined through the lens of thermal physics. The heat problem refers to the enormous, and apparently insurmountable, quantities of heat that would be generated by these processes if compressed into the brief timescales suggested by Young Earth Creation. Here we explore the facets of the heat problem, its implications, and some proposed solutions.
Defining the Heat Problem
The heat problem, sometimes called the “thermal problem” or “excess heat problem,” encompasses several scenarios in which the energy released by proposed young-Earth events would produce catastrophic levels of heat, incompatible with the continued existence of the planet, its biosphere, or even its very structure.
Understanding the Concepts of Evolutionary Biology
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionary biology is a branch of biology that studies the origins, changes, and adaptations of living organisms over generations. It is extremely important to have a proper understanding of evolutionary biology in any discussion about biological evolution.
First of all, from a creationist perspective, evolutionary biology is not really an issue despite the label. The simple fact of the matter is that most of the points within evolutionary biology are fully acceptable within creation science and actually explain some things here in the post Flood world.
Only one Interpretation of Genesis 1 is the Biblical Perspective on Origins
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
There are 10 primary interpretations of Genesis chapter 1, however only one represents a true Biblical perspective on origins. This is because it is the only perspective that starts with the Bible and interprets the chapter based on what it actually says rather than trying to read anything into it. It is also the only one that is fully consistent with the rest of scripture including the rationale of Jesus dying on the cross in payment for our sin.
In this article we will look at all 10 perspectives pointing out the benefits and problems with each of them. We will conclude with pointing out which one is not only the most Biblical, but the only one that can be truly considered to be Biblical in nature,
A Full Estimate of the Odds Against Abiogenesis
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
In determining the probability of abiogenesis occurring it is necessary to break the problem into at least two parts, there may be more, but it always helps to be as generous as possible on this topic because it gives evolutionists less wiggle room. These two parts are the probability of getting the necessary pieces in the same place and time and the odds of getting it assembled into a functioning living cell. Limiting it to these two steps is being extremely generous. This is because as you add steps the probability against it goes up exponentially.
Is Creationism Pseudoscience?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists often referred to creationism as pseudoscience. While there are some areas of thought that fall under the legitimate use of the word pseudoscience, it is primarily used in practice as a derogatory term, rather than any legitimate meaning to the word. The question before us is does creationism qualify as a pseudoscience. Do creationists engage in actual scientific activity? Part of the problem turns out to be the way evolution is defined both scientific activity and evidence. It produces the illusion that their side has all the evidence in creationists or any other perspective for that matte,r has none.
Adaptation Versus Universal Common Descent
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists will frequently use the word evolution or theory of evolution to refer to two completely different concepts. The first is the adaptation of a species to changes in its environment. This can result in observable changes and is likely responsible for much of the diversity that has developed since the Genesis Flood. The second is universal common descent, which is the totally atheistic idea that all life on earth has developed from a single common ancestor after poofing into existence by processes for which there is no real theory, but all indications is that it is statistically impossible.
Why Do We Need a Creator in the Scientific Age?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
One of the biggest claims that you hear today is that science has eliminated the need for God. This claim is based on the presupposition that science has done away with the need for a creator, or a need for God to explain any phenomenon that is observed. The problem is that with regard to the origin and history of the universe and Earth the presupposition that God was not involved is a critical part of the theoretical system being used. Consequently, the claim that science eliminates the need for God is based on inherently atheistic assumptions.
Yes, Let's Attract the Best and the Brightest

- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Intelligent design tends to be overly simplified in what discussions you see in scientific circles. It is frequently derided as a God of the gaps argument despite the fact that it is much more than such a simple argument. The argument can be made that evolutionists are actually making a naturalism of the gaps argument. There are many secrets to intelligent design that are not found in most presentations about it, because the person doing the presentation doesn't want to give it any credibility and in fact is trying to do the exact opposite. Let us look at several secrets of intelligent design that you frequently do not get.
5 Astounding Facts About Creation Science
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Creation science is often attacked by evolutionists for numerous things most of which are just attacks that have no bases, but yet they form an opinion about creation science in general that simply gets repeated. Most people who are convinced that the Big Bang to man evolutionary story is true do so not because of any actual evidence but because that is what they were taught to believe in school, and they simply never questioned it but believe it on 100% blind faith. In most cases what such people think they know about creation science is based entirely on the criticism that they hear from evolutionists. Furthermore, a lot of these people will not even look at creationist material to get an honest perspective about creation science. Here are astounding facts about creation science that you will learn if you take such an honest look.
