Today's Creation Moment

Love is one of the necessities of life that is both physical and spiritual. While it doesn’t fit with a strictly materialistic view of life, love and touch, or lack of love and touch, can determine our health and sometimes even life and death. Photo: Parent and baby - Pixabay.com

Researchers who examine the workings of the basal ganglia of our brain, have concluded that the deep structures of the brain that are supposed to be primitive are actually quite sophisticated. Image: Basal Ganglia and Related Structures (PD)

Most evolutionists believe that human beings evolved in East Africa – areas now covered by nations such as Tanzania and Kenya. However, cutting tools found in North Africa suggest to some that there had been early migration of hominids from East to North Africa, or that hominids had evolved separately in more than one region.

Whalebone was used for all sorts of ornaments and structural purposes as a gently bendable, yet firm material. Today it has been replaced by plastics. But it wasn't really bone. It came from the mouth of the whale. Image: Whit Wells, CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported.

What evidence could we provide that would prove to an evolutionist that evolution was false? Apparently, the late evolutionary biologist J.B.S. Haldane (1892–1964) addressed this question, and his answer was, famously, "Precambrian rabbits". Image: Chalk layers in Cyprus, Public Domain.

If you look up an animal in an encyclopedia, whether that animal is extant or extinct, you will usually be presented with a cladogram, which looks like a sideways family tree, and it represents the supposed evolutionary descent of the creature. Image: Kim Alaniz, CC BY-SA 2.0.

Researchers from the University of Edinburgh, examining yet again the cave drawings at Lascaux, France, determined that these early people understood the precession of the Earth's orbit, and an ancient comet strike.

The red panda has to be one of the world's most attractive animals, with a cute white face and a ginger red body. As its name suggests, it was once thought to be closely related to the giant panda.

As far as we know, the blue whale is the largest animal that has ever existed. Every statistic that we find about these giants is overwhelming. Image: Marine Life Hall, American Museum of Natural History, CC BY-SA 2.0.

Jesus talked about "the sign of Jonah" when He was being asked about signs. He said it was the only sign that would be given to that generation. He then proceeded to tell them what the sign meant.

Most people are familiar with the story of Jonah and the whale. However, by calling it a story, some people want to cast doubt upon the key event of the account. Image: Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.

It is almost like a religious catechism to state that apes and humans share a common ancestor from which they have both evolved. Photo: Neanderthal Skeleton and Reconstruction, CC BY-SA 3.0 Unported

The conventional understanding has always been that North America was populated by people who crossed from Asia to Alaska via the Bering Strait and then migrated down the West Coast. Photo: Clovis points from the Rummells-Maske Cache Site, Iowa. Courtesy of BillWhittaker. (CC BY-SA 3.0)

The Aye-Aye is one of the strangest little monkeys on earth. Its peculiar features bear witness that it was specially designed and created to fill a unique niche in nature, not a chance development of evolution. Photo: Wild Aye-Aye. Courtesy of nomis-simon. (CC BY 2.0)

"Survival of the fittest" is an essential principle of evolution. This principle has not only been applied to animals, but also to human beings, as a social theory. Scientists, however, are learning that cooperation among animals is more often the rule. Photo: Capuchin monkey-Pixabay.com

For generations cave guides have been telling cave visitors that the stalagmites and stalactites that they see around them grow at incredibly low rates. The figure that is usually given is one inch per century for stalactites (they are the ones that hang down). Now a group of scientists who believe in young Earth creationism has studied the chemistry of stalagmite and stalactite formation in actual cave conditions. They discovered that there are many variables in the growth of these formations.

Most mammals in Australia are marsupials. That is one of the things that makes Australia so special to those of us elsewhere in the world who may never have been there.Yet, there is one placental mammal that is associated with Australia, as a typical wild animal. That is the wild dog known as the dingo. mage: Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic.

The significance of Newton’s historical writings is that he compared biblical timescales to those of other nations and peoples. He started with an important presupposition – that the biblical timescale is correct. Image: Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.

An article in the New Scientist magazine suggests that the Reformation was a spur to scientific development. In their minds, Luther was a rebel, and it was this attitude of rebellion that led to the free-thinking required for modern science to develop. Image: Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.

Genesis is one book. That might seem pretty obvious to many of you, and yet sometimes we have given the impression that it is two books. The first book runs from chapter one through chapter eleven. The second is from chapter twelve onward. Image: Adobe Stock Images, licensed to author.

There has been a tendency among some evangelicals to worry about scientific opinion. For example, there has been a drive to reinterpret Genesis in the light of evolutionary theory, and, although that drive is decades old, it has accelerated among conservative evangelicals.

At every stage in a supposed evolutionary process there needs to be a spontaneous production of new genetic information. Yet, the only mechanisms seen are the coding and decoding of existing information. Image: Mariana Ruiz, released to Public Domain.

Evolutionists claim “music” and “language” developed independent of each other. Did they? (Illustration: Approximate location of Broca's area highlighted in gray. PD)

According to evolution all life is related. So, are humans closer to worms or coral?

Humans work together and so do certain animals, but did you know some bacteria do too? (Photo: An iridescent biofilm on the surface of a fish tank. Courtesy of Zaereth. CC-BY-PDD 1.0)

Scientists who reject the Bible’s account of “Creation” will not only have to explain how life got started, but also how did the Earth come into existence.

Why does King Solomon used the phrase “under the sun” so many time in the book of Ecclesiastes?

According to some evolutionary scientists, meteorites might have added just the right ingredient to the “primordial soup” to create life!
