Science, Scripture, & Salvation

The Bible’s message requires absolute accuracy of every word of its written text. Jesus referenced the eternal nature of His Word. Even the letters themselves—the “jots” and “tittles”—are under God’s authority. What is the consistent message of Scripture? Can we be certain the Bible is without error? More...

The Apostle Paul warned Timothy about pseudoscience and “false knowledge.” Today, many twist the meaning of Scripture to promote their interpretation of scientific data. What is the root of this issue? And how should Christians handle apparent conflicts between the Bible and science? More...

Seafloor sediments and dating methods may not seem like terribly exciting icebreaker topics. So, why does this field of research interest Dr. Hebert and the ICR science team? And how does it relate to our study of the Ice Age? More...

Dr. Hebert’s pursuit of creation research ministry started early in life. Learn about his early interest in science, middle school doubts about Christianity, and the book that changed the course of his personal and professional life. More...

Secular scientists claim the universe came into existence through a cosmic explosion called the Big Bang. Some Christians try to argue that God used the Big Bang to create the universe. But what does the Bible say? And what are the scientific arguments? More...

Is the universe billions of years old—or only thousands?  Many Christians are uncomfortable with the idea of recent creation because they think science has “proven” otherwise. Is this a worthy battle? Can science prove the age of the universe? More...

Many famous secular physicists claim we don’t need a Creator to explain the universe’s origin. They say “the laws of physics created the universe,” or, “the universe could have created itself.” Dr. Hebert offers four compelling reasons why this is not a scientific claim. More...

Textbooks and even children’s books tout dinosaur history going back millions of years. The Bible presents a different account of only thousands of years. Can fossils help us discern between these two different interpretations? More...

“Birds are living dinosaurs.” Can we trust the bold narratives of museum displays and textbooks? Evolutionary scientists investigate this subject and are still divided on the matter. What is the truth? Brian shares three clear reasons why birds did not evolve from reptiles. More...

Could God have created dinosaurs? Biochemist Brian Thomas was taught that dinosaurs evolved over millions of years via natural processes and death. Which dinosaur origin model is true? What do the fossils reveal? More...

The Bible mentions several extinct reptiles. Biblical authors described their anatomy, lifestyles, and even habitats. Is it possible that these vanished creatures were dinosaurs? More...

Creation scientists say dinosaurs and man co-existed. The Bible also teaches this as historical fact. Should we find human and dinosaur fossils together in the same rock layers? More...

Flood secrets long buried reveal fascinating confirmation for the Genesis account. Where did the water come from to Flood the entire earth? Did the plates move rapidly and break apart during the Flood? Was there really a Pangea? Where did all of the water go post-Flood? And why was there an ice age? More...

Oil is in the news almost every day due to fluctuating prices and controversial fracking. How does oil fit into the Bible? Was oil made in the Flood? How does this important commodity influence a biblical worldview? More...

Is dinosaur evolution a fable? Secularists claim that the terrible lizards evolved from ancestors. But what do the fossils show? Are they truly millions of years old? Do dinosaurs disprove the Bible? More...

Dr. Clarey shifts focus from North America to Africa. How does the African continent show a similar geological story? How can we know the Flood was not merely localized around the Black Sea? And what impact does this have on the Christian faith? More...

Many wonder if the global Flood was real. Can we trust Genesis? What really happened during this worldwide, watery catastrophe? What do rock layers across North America reveal? More...

What is the origin of dinosaurs? Can we trust the fossil record? Questions abound regarding these famous “thunder lizards.” But secular textbooks lack strong, scientific answers. Where should Christians go for solid dinosaur science? More...

Christians must build their worldview on the whole Bible. But there’s no need to throw out science. Science harmonizes well with the biblical message—right down to the details. How does the evidence lead to a recent, global Flood? Why is the evolutionary timescale false? And what does the geologic column really reveal about Earth history? More...

Everyone has a worldview. Evolutionism and Christianity are competing worldviews; Christianity and science are not. Do you know why you believe what you believe? Are you ready to defend your faith “with meekness and fear”? More...

There are 20,000 known species of bees! These industrious insects possess incredible skills for creating orderly and efficient honeycombs. How are bees unique? And what can we learn about the Creator’s design from these winged workers? More...

Many Christians compromise the creation account in order to accommodate Scripture with secular science. But an old earth means death really isn’t the penalty for sin. What does the Bible say about the age of the earth? And how young is the earth from a life science perspective? More...

Logic is the study of the principles of correct reasoning. It can teach us to think properly and construct rational arguments—valuable skills for defending the Christian faith. Christians should learn how to spot logical fallacies when conversing with people who challenge their beliefs. More...

Most students are taught that the universe is 13.8 billion years old. But the Bible teaches a much younger age. In this episode, we’ll discuss the many lines of evidence confirming that the universe is, in fact, only thousands of years old. More...

Does astronomy disprove the Bible like many scoffers claim? Actually, history confirms that the Bible is always right when it touches on any subject—including astronomy. Learn how the Bible got astronomy right when it addresses the roundness of Earth, its suspension in space, the expansion of the heavens, and more! More...

Many claim that science proves the Earth is billions of years old. But Genesis chapter one teaches that God created the universe and everything in it in only six days. How long ago did God create the universe and how long did He take to do it? Does this issue really matter? More...

Is Genesis just a myth made up by primitive people? Is it merely an allegory containing spiritual truths? Or does this book reveal a historical record of how God literally created the universe? Every Christian should believe in a literal Genesis and stand ready to defend biblical creation. More...

Millions of wooly mammoths once lived around the world, particularly in extremely cold places. These elephantine creatures present a major mystery for secular scientists. Why is that? How could wooly mammoths survive the frigid climate of an ice age? And where would they find a sufficient food supply? More...

Climate change is a hot topic in the news today. Many people—including some Christians—have been concerned that the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide could have an adverse effect on climate. Should we be worried about climate change (or global warming)? Is this a moral issue requiring legal action? What should Christians think? More...

Secular scientists have drilled into the thick ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica and extracted cores that run thousands of meters deep. These scientists claim that the deepest layers are hundreds of thousands of years old. Do these ice cores really prove an old earth? More...

Many Christians wonder about the ice age. Was there an ice age in earth history? If so, how many were there? And how would such a dramatic climate change fit into biblical history? More...

A number of secular cosmologists claim that our universe is just one of many universes that exist. Why do they say this? Is there any evidence for this claim? And how does this relate to the creation-evolution controversy? More...

At the end of God’s creative activities, He surveyed His work and pronounced it “very good.” Genesis 2 describes how God prepared a special garden in which the man and the woman would begin their stewardship duties. Why did God finish the creation week with a day of rest? What should our relationship with the Owner of all things look like? Discover how the Creator God of the Bible is our source for life and our only means of redemption. More...

What does it mean that God “created” in His own “image”? Theologians and students of Scripture have been pondering this concept for millennia. What hints can we find in the Bible? And what does Genesis tell us about man’s unique responsibility as bearers of God’s image? More...

On Day Six, God focused on creating land creatures. He evidently created these vast “kinds” in direct proportion to how they would relate to humans. What distinguishes birds from cattle? How many species represent “creeping things”? And how can we know that Behemoth was a dinosaur? More...

God was busy on Day Five. Not only did He create water creatures, He also dedicated this day to “the birds of the air.” What Genesis-confirming design details can we observe in the anatomy of flying creatures? Are feathers unique to birds? And how has man applied birdwatching observations to modern technology? More...

Did you know that oceans cover 70% of the Earth’s surface? The first life God created lived in water, and much of what we call life dwells in the oceans, lakes, and rivers of our planet. What can we learn about different types of skin and scales? And what kind of creature was Leviathan? More...

Once the planet had been properly prepared, the earth was ready for its clocks. There must be a time-keeping system for “signs and seasons, and for days and years.” What did God originally say about the purpose of the heavenly lights? And why were the events on the fourth day significant? More...

One of the more prevalent theories today is that biological systems developed over long ages by natural processes. But the Bible seems to lump all of plant science into one day’s event. How could that be? Are plants “alive” in the biblical sense? And what exactly is a “kind”? More...

Day Three began with organizational processes acting on the rotating sphere that had been set in motion on the first day and divided into separate “waters” on the second day. What does it mean that God gathered the “seas” into “one place?” What scientific insight can help us understand the primeval shaping of Earth’s elements? More...

On Day Two of creation, the triune Godhead began “making” and “shaping” the heavens and the earth into an organized and functioning cosmos. He was preparing it to support the life that would be created on Days Five and Six. What exactly were “the firmament” and “the waters above”? How was Earth different from what we experience today? More...

Genesis 1 says that God created the universe and all it contains in six 24-hour days. This account is not difficult to understand. Its grammatical structure clearly falls within the narrative genre; in other words, it is a historical account. How can Hebrew vocabulary and the doctrine of the Trinity confirm a literal interpretation of the creation week? More...

Did you know that the moth smells with its antennae? Whether we look at moths, ants, bombardier beetles, dragon fly eyes, or even the brains of bees, the wonders of God’s design in the insect world are “clearly seen.” More...

Have you ever wondered if your appendix, wisdom teeth, and tonsils were useless structures due to human evolution over millions of years? Find out whether the fossil record supports human evolution or the special creation of man in the beginning. More...

It’s hard to ignore the oceans when they cover a vast majority of the planet. But did you know that evolution theory does not explain the origin of the oceans or the trillions of creatures that live in them? More...

Fossils are featured in national parks, textbooks, and museums around the world. Were they formed over millions of years of evolution? Or are they a record of God’s judgment through a global Flood? More...

We’ve seen in museums, textbooks, magazines, and in our biology classes that all life is made up of cells. Inside these cells are tiny, submicroscopic, molecular machines that function to sustain life. How do these biological machines work? And what does the Bible have to say about design in nature? More...

God’s holiness demands that His creation should not distort anything about Him or about the creation itself. God could not create processes that would counter His own nature or that would lead man to conclude something untrue about God. If the words of Scripture are true words, if they are God’s words, then there can be no “evolution” in God’s work. More...

Historical science observes clues in the present that may be applied to a possible cause in the past. Evolutionists claim that fish evolved into amphibians, and amphibians into reptiles, and so on. But what do we see in the fossil record? Do evolutionists hold a worldview supported by true science? More...

Science is based on observation and experimentation. Have scientists ever observed a beneficial mutation? Although many experiments have attempted to duplicate some form of evolutionary change, no one has ever come close to “evolving” anything in the laboratory. More...
