Today's Creation Moment

Back in 1836, well-known astronomer Sir John Herschel wrote a series of articles for the New York Sun reporting his discovery of life on the moon. Image: Rough image of the lithograph of the “ruby amphitheater” described in The Sun (New York City) newspaper (August 28, 1835) (PD)

You might not think of the crocodile as a particularly loving creature. In reality, the crocodile is among the most gentle and loving of parents. Photo: Crocodile – Pixabay.com

Imagine a huge living creature covering about one square mile and made up of almost a third of a billion cells. Imagine each of those living cells being able to move about independently of the others. Note: Photo: Wood ant mound by Hans – Pixabay.com

How certain are evolutionists of evolution? Of course, no believer in evolution is going to go on national television and say that he is not sure of evolution. However, within the scientific community, those who really know the facts don’t always sound so convinced of their arguments. Notes: Photo – Karl Popper (PD)

If God created, but He did so by evolution, it means that there were many generations and billions of deaths before the first man appeared on the scene. Does Scripture say anything about this? Photo: Gravestone – Pixabay.com

Many Christians are willing to accept what Genesis has to say about creation with one exception. They don’t want to accept the six days as literal, natural, approximately 24-hour days. Photo: Stained glass window of Moses with the ten commandments – Pixabay.com

Many, if not most, of the leaders of the creationist movement today were once evolutionists. Most of them once believed that God created, but that He created through evolution. Image: Sign post.

Let’s be honest. If you believe God created, but that He used evolution to do so, you have to answer a difficult question. Does evolution allow the supernatural to take place? Photo: Bible on table – Pixabay.com

Nearly 50% of the people in the United States, including many Christians, believe that God did indeed create all things. Unfortunately, they believe He used evolution as His instrument of creation. Photo: Man kneeling at cross – Pixabay.com

How old is the universe? Evolutionary scientists talk about how radiometric dating methods prove the universe and the earth are billions of years old. Let’s look at all the methods scientists could use. Image: Stars – Pixabay.com

Nearly everyone just “knows” that if enough monkeys were allowed to pound away at typewriters for enough time, they would eventually produce all the great works of literature. But there are some fundamental laws of science and some very simple commonsense facts that show this claim to be nonsense. Photo: Antique typewriter -Pixabay.com

It has been said that if you take a frog and turn it into a man by adding a kiss, you have a fairy tale. But if you take a frog and turn it into a man by adding millions of years, you have science. Photo: Frog on lily pad – Pixabay.co

There is a great deal of dust in between the earth, the moon, all the other planets, and the sun. However, you won’t need to send your friend with the mop to clean it up, because the sun and planets slowly sweep this dust from space. Photo: Comet trail – Pixabay.com

If the sun is shrinking at this rate, it would have been twice as large as it is now only 100,000 years ago. And 20 million years ago the surface of the sun would have touched the surface of the earth! The dinosaurs, or more accurately their descendants, would have been cooked, to say the least. No life would have been possible on earth! This obviously poses a huge problem for evolutionists. Photo: Volcanic lava flow – Pixabay.com

Space is full of mysteries. Those who think that the universe is millions or billions of years old have more mysteries to solve than Bible-believing Christians do. . Photo: The brightest star – Hubble telescope CCA 3.0 unported.

What is a religion? You might be tempted to answer that it is any kind of belief about a god or some gods. However, that’s not complete enough to cover all religions. There are many old religions—not to mention the new ones—that don’t believe in any gods at all in the traditional sense! Blank book with ink blot – Pixabay.com

Christianity is not the only religion in the world that starts with origins. While Genesis begins the Bible by Steve Buissinne – Pixabay.com

It was first discovered in 1855, but many scientists debated its existence for another 50 years.

Marine biologists have been surprised to learn that the modern populations of jellyfish are actually much more complex than they ever suspected. Photo: Jellyfish – Pixabay.com

It is difficult to imagine what things would be like had we not fallen into sin. We have never known the perfect world that God created for us. Tomatoes on vine by KieKer – Pixabay.com

Scientists and manufacturers are studying a new technique that could lead to more durable fibers. This technique manufactures liquid crystals to produce stronger, longer-lasting fibers. Photo: Spider web – Claudia Wollesen – Pixabay.com

Before we had detailed knowledge of the daily lives of many animals, it was easy for scientists to dismiss signs of animal intelligence as instinct. After all, to the evolutionist, intelligence can only evolve in the highest creatures – like humans. Photo: Bees and Hive – Pixabay.com © 2023 Creation Moments. All rights reserved.

If, as we are continually told, evolution is a fact, why is it that human technology improves when we copy designs found in nature? Photo: Dolphin – Pixabay.com © 2023 Creation Moments. All rights reserved.

We have all looked in wonder at the amazing transformation of a caterpillar into a moth. However, did you realize that a moth needs an entirely different kind of brain than a caterpillar? Photo Eyed hawk moth – Pixabay.com © 2023 Creation Moments. All rights reserved.

Creationists are often objects of scorn because they take the Bible's account of history literally. If the Bible's history is accurate, humans were on the Earth at the same time as many animals that are extinct today. Photo: Courtesy of Giovanni Dall'Orto. © 2023 Creation Moments.

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words. While that is often true, they also say that it takes a highly evolved brain to picture objects and remember them. Photo: Bee – Pixabay.com © 2023 Creation Moments. All rights reserved.

At first glance, jellyfish may not look like much of a creation. Many are quite beautiful. However, most jellyfish simply look like blobs of jelly, so fragile that what might be a minor blow to one of us could prove fatal to them. Photo: Jellyfish – Pixabay.com

Some creatures simply try to look uninteresting to hungry predators. Others take their role-playing so seriously that they actually fulfill some of the same roles as their models. Photo: Inchworm – Pixabay.com

Many people have been taught that evolution is science and creation is religion. However, the origins debate is really a debate between two religions. According to the evolutionist's own rules of science, evolution is not good science. Consider the claims of evolution in view of what science knows today. Image: Cyprus Coast Cliff – Pixabay.com CCO

Biologists have recently discovered a gene that suggests that God may not be above playing a practical joke on those who reject what His Word says. Illustration: Fruit fly – Pixabay.com

One would never expect to find any insect sharing living arrangements with a spider. That's why scientists were amazed to find a tiny fly in the rain forests of Central America who shares both room and board with a spider! Photo: Spider Web – Pixabay.com

Language requires some very special designs that are rare in nature and found together only in humans. First, human language requires vocal cords, which none of the apes have. The only animals with vocal tracts are birds, but no one is suggesting that we evolved from birds. Image: Black board and chalk writing – Pixabay.com

Which body structure is a powerful generator of emotions, gives you a sense of direction, and serves as a cannon all at the same time? It's your nose, of course! Photo: Nose – Pixabay.com

We have looked at many plants and animals that use different forms of camouflage to keep from being noticed. Some don't wish to be noticed so that they can surprise their prey, while others don't want to be noticed so they can avoid becoming prey. However, what happens when both predator and prey encounter each other in full camouflage? Photo: Inchworm -Courtesy of Mila. GNU Free Documentation License. © 2023 Creation Moments.

Squirrels often seem to run about without any purpose. However, a naturalist in the State of Maine recently discovered that the squirrel's activities are well planned and efficient. Photo: red-squirrel – Pixabay.com © 2023 Creation Moments. All rights reserved.

We tend to associate being warm-blooded with mammals and human beings. Yet there are "warm-blooded" plants, reptiles and bumblebees. There is also a warm-blooded moth. Photo: Corn_Earworm_Moth_Andy Reago & Chrissy McClarren CCA 2.0 © 2023 Creation Moments. All rights reserved.

Our senses link us to the world around us and enable us to interact with the world. While most people believe that our sense of sight is the highest of the senses and the most marvelous in design, our sense of hearing is no less marvelous.

Many plants and animals disguise themselves as something they are not in the hope of protecting themselves. However, a true master of disguise must have many disguises. The tiger swallowtail offers no less than three disguises as it grows through its various stages toward adulthood.
