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.
Big Bang to Man Evolution is Really the View of Origins that Requires Magic
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists frequently accuse creationists of having a view of origins that requires magic. Not only is this not true, but it turns out that it is their perspective that actually requires magic. This is because their perspective actually requires violating natural law, where the presence of an intelligent designer prevents such violations. Evolutionists will frequently deny this, but it is clear when you look closely at this essentially atheistic model of origins.
This view of origin starts with the Big Bang, which starts at a singularity. This would literally be a point of no volume but infinite density. What makes this magical is that there is nothing in the model about where the singularity came from or what started the expansion. It is basically a sudden expansion from nothing. Despite trying to apply the laws of physics, it still requires a magical starting point, where we're essentially nothing, suddenly expanding into everything.
The Bait and Switch Use of the Word Evolution
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
There is a lot of science in the discussion of creation versus evolution; however, what is commonly misunderstood is how much the perspective on that science influences one's position. A primary example of this problem is the fact that evolutionists and even some creationists tend to think of creation in terms of fixity of species. This is the old idea that species never change and are always the same; it is, however, easy to show this idea to be in error, so it is often falsely presented as a creationist position. Meanwhile, the term evolution is often applied to both the observed fact that species do change over time as well as universal common descent, which is really the Darwinian view of evolution and the one that is under dispute, as a way of equating these radically different ideas.
Can Science Prove Intelligent Design in Nature?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
There are three ways that the concept of intelligent design in nature comes across in science. The first is the general design of the universe, the second is design within living things, and the final one is design as a requirement for the origin of life. All three of these are a critical part of the issue when it comes to whether or not science can prove intelligent design in nature.
One of the ways of suggesting intelligent design in nature in terms of the general design of the universe is the fine-tuned nature of the universe itself. Now, while some of the factors originally placed under fine-tuning may have broader ranges than originally suspected, many aspects of the universe still require some degree of fine-tuning in order to have a universe capable of supporting life. However, the primary way in which the universe as a whole gives evidence of being intelligently designed is on the subatomic scale, where the properties of particles do not have definite values but exist as waves of probability until observed; only then do these properties obtain actual specific values. Furthermore, the behavior of particles can change based on what we know about them, for example the quantum erasure double slit experiment has shown that whether or not particles behave as particles or waves depends upon whether or not we know if they went through a particular slit or not.
Can Science Explain Miracles?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The question of can science explain miracles is not an effort to explain them away by providing a naturalistic explanation. Rather, in this case, it is dealing with the question of how they might actually happen. That is a completely different question, and one that is often not asked. In fact, the most common argument against miracles refers to them as magic. What we are exploring here is how science can offer a potential mechanism that allows miracles to occur.
