A Biblical Perspective on Unintelligent on Other Planets
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
This article is related to the previous one. However, there are those addressing the idea of intelligent life from another planet; however, this article addresses unintelligent life. Unlike the concept of intelligent life on other planets, unintelligent life in no way raises any questions concerning any biblical doctrines. However, if it is ever discovered it needs to be seen from day one from a biblical perspective because it would used to attack the Bible.
A Biblical Perspective on Aliens on Other Planets
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The notion of aliens on other planets is a very popular part of science fiction. The notion has become part of popular culture with many science fiction movies and books based on the concept. This particular discussion is primarily about intelligent aliens, not bacteria or even animal life as they are a different discussion. Two things we have to realize are that to date there is no evidence for such beings and that it is not a Biblical concept.
The first thing that needs to be noted about the idea of feeling some other planets is that not only is it an entirely evolutionary idea, but it is also founded purely on atheistic naturalistic materialistic thinking. The reason for this is that the idea is that if we came about by pure chance surely given the billions of stars in the universe and billions of more planets that there must be some of those must be inhabitable, you're also inhabited. Consequently, the idea that alien life exists is primarily founded on an atheistic worldview.
Is There Any Evidence for Biblical Creation? - Part 7

- By Charles Creager, Jr.
This represents just a small sample the evidence for Biblical Creation. As this column proceeds more and more examples will be made available. The problem is that the people who claim that there is no evidence simply reject the evidence that exists. They do so in part because those that they see as experts do not accept it, and they are convinced that those “experts” are correct and also that they are objective. They often claim that if the evidence was there, it would be accepted. The problem is that the way these so-called experts handle evidence presented contrary to their standard views, they react in a way that shows a lack of objectivity.

According to the Bible, the human race started with two people Adam and Eve, we were then reduced to the descendants of one man his three sons, and their three wives during the flood. If this were indeed the case, we would expect to find evidence in our genetics mitochondrial DNA goes back to a single woman and our Y chromosome DNA goes back to a single man. If we had evolved from a population of the ancestral apes our mitochondrial DNA nation archaebacteria single woman and our why chromosome DNA should not go back to a single man.
Is There Any Evidence for Biblical Creation Part 5

One strong piece of evidence for Biblical creation that came out of the RATE project. Part of this project involved testing a very important assumption of radiometric dating. The assumption tested was that atomic decay rates are constant for each isotope. This is an important experiment because if nuclear decay rates were greatly accelerated at any time in the past radiometric dating would be completely invalid.
The research started with radioactive uranium isotopes and their decay products measured in the zircon crystals found in granite. The key to testing The assumption of radiometric dating is the diffusion rate of helium out of zircon crystals based on the amount a radiometric decay that has been estimated to have occurred in the subsequent helium produced over the amount of time that the crystals have existed. The scientists doing this research created models based on both time periods. One was a uniform rate of decay over the approximately 1 1/2 billion years that zircons were dated to. The other was 2 periods of accelerated nuclear decay during the Biblical time scale. These two events would have been during the creation week and the genesis flood.
Is There Any Evidence for Biblical Creation - Part 4

One piece of evidence of Biblical Creation that has gotten better as the topic has been researched is planetary magnetic fields. Called “Dynamic Decay Theory,” this model started with the observed decay in the Earth's magnetic field, and it has led to a complete model planetary magnetic field. This model not only explains aspects of these magnetic fields that the uniformitarian dynamo theory cannot explain, but it also does a better job predicting planetary magnetic fields.
Is There Any Evidence for Biblical Creation - Part 3
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
For the first actual piece of evidence for the Biblical creation we will discuss the single biggest piece of evidence for the Genesis Flood. That piece of evidence is the fossil record. But the fossil record is used to support evolution you may say. It is true that is because they interpret it under the presupposition of universal common descent evolution. At its core, the fossil record is actually a record of the Genesis Flood.
To understand how the fossil record is fundamentally evidence for the Genesis Flood, it is first necessary to understand that this flood if it occurred would have been global in scale and not some teeny weenie local flood. Then it is necessary to consider what would be the primary thing we would expect if there had been a global flood sometime in the past. The primary piece of evidence would be billions of dead things buried in rock layers laid down by water all over the Earth. This is actually a perfect description of the fossil record.
Is There Any Evidence for Biblical Creation Part 2

- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Before diving into actual evidence for Biblical creation and the Genesis Flood, it is necessary to discuss the differences between how creationists and evolutionists see evidence. These differences result from fundamental differences in the worldview behind the position. Creationists start with God, the Bible, and the implications of God as the intelligent designer and creator of the world and all that is in it. Evolutions, on the other hand, look at evidence from what is essentially an atheistic naturalistic materialistic perspective. While many evolutionists also believe in God, they still look at the evidence from this perspective. If they see any role for Him at all, it is little more than a guiding force. However, it is these differences that explain much of the disagreement between how creationists and evolutionists see evidence.
Is There Any Evidence for Biblical Creation Part 1

A common claim made by evolutionists is that there is no evidence for creation or a global flood. However, when you look at creationist websites or other material, they show loads of evidence. So, what is the cause of this disparity?
The first thing to note is that evolutionists have been presented the evidence exclusively from an atheistic naturalistic materialistic perspective. This is regardless of whether or not the person actually believes in God, they have been trained where they went to school to see the evidence exclusively from an atheistic naturalistic materialistic perspective. Furthermore, only explanations based on that perspective are provided with the evidence being interpreted for them through those explanations. In other words, one reason they think there is no evidence for creation, or a global flood, is because it was never shown the evidence from the perspective where either of these events would even be possible explanations. Unfortunately, in many cases, their hearts have been so hardened against any alternative that they will never be even capable of looking at the evidence from a Biblical perspective.
Why do Genetic Algorithms Show Natural Selection to be Unworkable?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Natural selection is frequently used by evolutionists as a magic wand that can accomplish anything that they need to. However, the capacities of natural selection are assumed and the most critical have never actually been demonstrated. Genetic algorithms, a type of computer program that uses a selection process to search through possibilities for a solution, have been touted by evolutionists as evidence that natural selection can make universal common descent evolution possible. However, when these algorithms are analyzed and compared to natural selection, they show that natural selection is completely incapable of doing the job the evolutionists require of it.
Do Creationists Hold a Conspiracy Theory?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The charge is sometimes made the creation is claim that evolutionary scientists in the government are hiding evidence in support of Biblical creation. While there may be some that take this kind of position, they are a definite minority. This claim requires a couple of false ideas. The first is that interpreting evidence is 100% objective and that some powerful evolutionists see the truth and are hiding it from people. Neither one of these is true, nor doesn't need to be for creation to be correct.
What is the Evolutionist Perspective on Natural Phenomenon?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
An evolutionary perspective on natural phenomenon is essentially that only natural phenomenon exists. This is an inherently atheistic view of reality that throws out much of what is described in the Bible before ever looking at any evidence. By its very nature, this view of reality excludes from consideration such events as Creation and the Genesis Flood. Even a more subtle perspective such as intelligent design cannot be considered because ultimately the intelligent designer has to be beyond nature it has to be excluded if you only accept natural phenomena.
What is the Evolutionist Perspective on Supernatural Phenomenon?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The key to understanding the evolutionist perspective on the supernatural is the fact that the entire idea behind universal common descent evolution and its related theories is the entirely atheistic and naturalistic notion that supernatural phenomenon does not exist. It includes the idea that the supernatural is just something ignorant people call stuff not yet explained by science. The idea is that everything eventually can be explained by science. It also includes a totally atheistic naturalistic perspective on science, which excludes anything but completely naturalistic explanations.
What is the Evolutionist Perspective on God?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
The views of individual evolutionists on God vary, from theistic evolution to absolute atheism. However, the general evolutionist perspective is to ignore God as much as possible. The Entire point of universal common descent evolution is to explain the origin of the diversity of life along with man from entirely naturalistic and atheistic notion of abiogenesis universal common descent evolution, is to explain our origin apart from God.
What is the Evolutionist Perspective on Peer Review?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
In general, from the standpoint of evolutionist a paper being peer reviewed and published by the right type of publication Has about the same effect as something being blessed by the Pope goes to a Roman Catholic. In the opinion of many of them it is the distinguishing factor between science and non-science regardless of well the scientific method is actually followed. It is frequently used as a way to excuse denying evidence that goes against the Big Bang to man evolutionary story.
What is the Evolutionist Perspective on Evidence?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists talk a lot about evidence, but they really do not mean an objective look at the evidence. More often than not wherever evolutionists talk about evidence they talk about what has already been accepted as such by the evolutionary community. This includes not just the actual physical evidence, but it also involves confusing evidence for the interpretation of evidence.
