Evolving Tactics
| Answers in Genesis Over the past 30 years, I have observed evolving tactics used by secularists to respond to arguments from creationist scholars and researchers.
Creation or Evolution: Yes, We Have to Choose
| Answers in Genesis Biblical truth should not be just a starting point—our whole philosophy and worldview should be submitted to the acid test of biblical authority. That includes our interpretation of scientific data.
The Evils of Evolution
| Answers in Genesis The growing acceptance of atheistic evolution has resulted in many rejecting God as Created. Over the years, many have used evolution to justify sinful behavior.

A Field Day for Evolution
| Answers in Genesis Some science museums can be dull institutions that don’t elicit much excitement. Yet they are increasingly becoming culture war battlegrounds.
bias-and-faith/1 page
Bias and Faith
| Answers in Genesis The clash between creation science and evolution science is thus not a clash between science and religion at all, but between two competing world views.
Can’t We All Just Get Along?
| Answers in Genesis That is what several scientists and a religious historian seemed to be asking and answering at a forum I attended last Wednesday at COSI entitled, “Intersection of Faith & Evolution: A Civil Dialogue”
Leaving Creation Behind

Very Little Salt in the Sea
| Answers in Genesis If the world’s oceans have been around for three billion years as evolutionists believe, they should be filled with vastly more salt than the oceans contain today.
Embryonic Development
| Answers in Genesis Studies have shown that essentially all 180 organs once listed as evolutionary vestiges have significant functions in human beings.

God Created Plant Pollinator Partners
| Answers in Genesis Although some plant species rely on wind or water to transfer pollen from one flower to the next, the vast majority of all plant species need the help of animals for pollination.
Echolocation Provides Supporting Evidence for Creationists
| Answers in Genesis Both bats and dolphins (a type of toothed whale) are known for their abilities to “echolocate,” or use sonar to capture prey. This capability, fascinating in its own right, shows that creationists can explain some things that evolutionists cannot.
Worms for Brains
| Answers in Genesis Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Germany have made “overwhelming” discoveries that, according to the researchers, show that worm nervous systems and the human brain are distant cousins.
Engineers Look to Dolphins for Improved Sonar
| Answers in Genesis It’s another case of science turning to God’s design for inspiration: a study published in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics (which focuses on such natural inspiration) describes how engineers may be taking a cue from dolphins in devising improved sonar systems.

Ravens Are Evolving Into . . . Ravens
| Answers in Genesis Examples of adaptation, speciation, and natural selection are used as evidence for molecules-to-man evolution—but they’re not!

No Beginning for the Big Bang?
| Answers in Genesis Those who claim to see the big bang in the Bible start by assuming the big bang model is true and then read the big bang into the Bible. This return to an eternal universe within the big bang model is indicative of the foolishness of relying upon man’s ideas to interpret Scripture.
massive-galaxies-in-the-early-universe/1 page
Massive Galaxies in the Early Universe
| Answers in Genesis A new study raises another problem that no one seems to be talking about. The big bang model posits that the universe began with only hydrogen and helium, and a very tiny amount of lithium. But cosmic dust is made of heavier elements, such as silicon, oxygen, and iron. Where did this galaxy dust come from?
