Creation ~ Factsheets
Mutations and Miracles
It is claimed that, over time, genetic 'mistakes' have accumulated to bring about major changes to living organisms, and even completely new kinds of creatures and plants. Is this true?
Fantasy of Life's Origin
It is claimed that gases in the atmosphere were acted upon by lightning to form amino acids, which eventually, by some unknown, unobserved process, developed into living organisms. But is there any evidence for this?
Evolution & Variation
The theory of evolution is based on the belief that completely new types of living things have been developed over the course of millions of years. Is this possible?
'Out-of-Place' Fossils and Artifacts
Many people are familiar with the standard 'geological column' which appears in many books on evolution and geology. Most people are unaware that fossils are not always found in that kind of idealised, ascending order. Discover the truth!
Our Young Solar System
Did our Solar System originate from a cloud of cold dust and gas about 4.6 billion years ago, or did it have a recent origin as part of the six-day creation recorded in the Bible?
Flight
Evolutionists believe that flying animals have been adapted from non-flying ancestors by gradual chance processes over millions of years, but when man first succeeded in making a machine that could fly it was only after a good deal of thinking and planning. Find out more.
Frozen Mammoths
Many people have heard of the frozen mammoths whose perfectly preserved remains have been discovered in the Arctic. It is often suggested that these hairy elephants grew their thick coats to protect them from the bitter cold during the great Ice Age. Is this true? And how did the mammoths die?
Sea Mammalst
One thing about which both creationists and evolutionists would agree is that all sea mammals are perfectly designed for their aquatic lifestyle. However, there is a great difference of opinion regarding their origins. What does the evidence say?
Apes and Men
Did 'ape-men' exist? We all know that there is nothing between apes and humans living on earth today. Does the fossil record reveal any evidence of such 'missing links' in the past?
The Origin of Religion
It is difficult to find, anywhere on earth, people from any tribe or nation who do not practise some kind of religion. Humans are religious by nature. How did religion originate?
The Cambrian 'Explosion'
If the idea that life has evolved from simple to complex were really true, we would expect to find in the 'lowest' rocks the fossils of very simple creatures, such as single-celled animals, with evidence of these early forms slowly becoming more and more complex. What we do find, however, is something entirely different.
Our Unique Planet
We hear a good deal about 'extra-terrestrial life' these days, and science fiction stories have tended to increase speculation about the possibility that organic life exists elsewhere in the universe. However, all such speculation ignores one very important fact: very special conditions make life on earth possible, conditions which are not known to exist anywhere else in the entire universe!
The Ice Age
Mainstream scientists have proposed at least 50 theories to explain the cause of the Ice Age, none of which are satisfactory. Can creationists come up with a better explanation? The problem facing all Ice Age theories is how to have severe cold and heavy snowfall at the same time.
Fish Out of Water
According to evolutionists, one of the most important events in the history of life was when fish evolved into amphibians. In order for fish to become amphibians, several difficult problems would have had to be overcome.
Our Young Universe
The idea that the universe started with a 'Big Bang' billions of years ago is widely believed. What is not generally known, however, is that the universe simply cannot be anything like as old as billions of years.
No Change = No Evolution
Evolution is popularly understood as a process of constant change. Over many millions of years 'simple' things are said to have evolved into more and more complex forms. We suggest that this vast time period has never existed except in the evolutionists' imagination.
Plants and Creation
The problem evolutionists have with 'missing links' in the fossil record regarding the origin of animal life is well known. They have an even greater problem, however, with the origin of plants. In spite of this problem, evolutionists have a very neat theory of the origin of plants which looks very good on paper, but which has no evidence to back it up.
Where Humans Walked
Footprints are a good indication that some living creature has been present in a locality. On earth footprints don't normally last very long, being erased by the elements. Sometimes, however, footprints are preserved, and become a lasting testimony to their originators. These footprints often present a dilemma to those who believe in evolution.
Big Bang Problems
The 'big bang' theory of the origin of the universe is spoken of as though it were an established fact. It is good, therefore, to be reminded of some of the theory's shortcomings and problems.
Footprints in Stone
It is popularly believed that the geological record reveals a neat evolutionary development, but there have been some well-authenticated discoveries which present real problems for those who believe in evolution. These include 'out-of-place' footprints preserved in rock layers.
Selection - Natural and Artificial
Evolutionists from Darwin onwards have compared artificial selection with natural selection, and used this comparison to promote their theory. However, it would be more sensible to contrast the two.
Pre-Flood Longevity
Jewish historian Josephus compared records from many different civilisations and concluded: 'The ancients lived 1000 years.' But were such vast ages really attained by the pre-flood patriarchs?
Insects and Evolution
Insects are amazingly designed and often capable of remarkable achievements. Those who believe that insects are the product of evolution face a number of problems.
Did Human Language Evolve?
There are many things which set human beings apart from animals, but none more so than language. Evolutionists believe that human language has evolved, but is there any evidence to support this claim?
Vestigial Organs Reconsidered
One of the evidences for evolution put forward by Charles Darwin, and still offered in some biology textbooks, is the existence of so-called vestigial organs, which are supposed to be useless left-overs from our evolutionary past. Some of the most commonly-suggested 'vestigial organs' are discussed here.
Quasars & Redshifts
The belief that the universe is expanding is one of the pillars of the Big Bang theory and the 'red shift' of starlight is claimed as proof of this expansion. Light from distant galaxies is displaced towards the red end of the spectrum, the 'Doppler Effect'. The red shift of galaxies, therefore, is taken as evidence that they are moving away from us. Are there other interpretations of the red shift?
Did Humans and Dinosaurs Co-Exist?
According to evolution theory, dinosaurs became extinct about 70 million years ago, and no human being ever saw a live dinosaur. However, there is growing evidence that this theory is totally wrong, and that dinosaurs and humans have lived on earth together.
Our Amazing Ancestors
Our earliest ancestors were supposedly “primitive” and their culture very crude in comparison with ours. However, the available evidence does not support the evolutionary view, in fact it shows the opposite...
Feathered Dinosaurs?
Ever since Darwin's time, evolutionists have tried to find the “missing link” between reptiles and birds. The discovery in 1861 of Archaeopteryx was hailed as evidence for the reptile-bird transition, and it was even described as a “feathered dinosaur” by some palaeontologists. Find out more!
The Origin of Mammals
Mammals have colonised almost every part of our planet, both on land and in water. But what of their origins?
Catastrophism
Until about 160 years ago most geologists believed that the rocks of the earth's surface had been formed catastrophically. Then the theory of uniformitarianism took over...
Horse Non-Sense
One of the most commonly-presented 'proofs' of evolution is the so-called horse series. It is claimed that modern horses have evolved...
The Myth of Recapitulation
There are many myths surrounding the theory of evolution, but one of the most persistent is the myth of recapitulation — the idea that embryos retrace their supposed evolutionary history...
All in the Eye
Eyes are wonderful organs which enable us to see the world around us. The origin of the eye is a serious problem for those who believe in evolution. Find out why!
Ichthyosaurs
Evolution theory says that fish evolved into amphibians, and amphibians into reptiles, although the fossil evidence for these transitions is entirely lacking. The origin of marine reptiles is a particular problem for evolution, for evolutionists claim that they have actually gone back into the water.
Orchids and Evolution
Orchids come in many shapes and sizes, the best-known probably being the insect-mimicing species. Many of these mimics have very ingenious ways of attracting pollinating insects, appealing to the senses of both sight and smell. Can evolution explain the origin of these mechanisms?
Hubble's Young Universe
Telescopes, such as the Hubble Space Telescope, have enabled space scientists to study the heavens as never before. They are hoping that they will find evidence to support the popular 'big bang' model of the universe. Much to their consternation, more and more evidence is emerging that suggests we live in a young, created universe!
How Old Are Fossils?
How old are fossils? Most people would say “millions of years”, since they have been led to believe that the fossils have somehow been scientifically dated. However, fossils cannot be dated radiometrically, because they usually occur in sedimentary rocks. How, then, do paleontologists arrive at the dates assigned to museum specimens?
Information & Creation
We live in a world where there has been an information 'explosion'. There are different computer languages and thousands of different written languages, but in every case the information had to come from an intelligent source. All computer programmes had to be written by a programmer.
The Two Great Lights
The book of Genesis records the creation of 'two great lights', the sun and the moon. They certainly dominate our skies. 'The greater light' our sun is a star. 'The lesser light' the moon is a solid body, the earth's only natural satellite. Without either one of them, life as we know it could not exist.
The Dating Game
The dates assigned to rocks are not questioned by most people, who believe that scientists have 'proved' that the earth is many millions of years old. These vast ages are mainly obtained through radio-metric dating techniques. Are these methods accurate, and are scientists justified in trusting the results of such dating?
Ears to Hear
Hearing is one of our most useful and important senses, and involves some very complex and well-designed apparatus. There are significant differences between the hearing organs of humans and our supposed reptilian and fish ancestors. Evolution cannot explain how our ears originated, and it is difficult even to imagine how they could have evolved.
The Worldwide Flood
Few parts of the Bible have been so misunderstood, ridiculed or distorted as the account of the great flood in Genesis chapters 6-8. Some people claim that the flood was only a local event, covering a relatively small area of the Middle East. But is the idea of a local flood logical or realistic, given the information the Genesis account provides?
The Faith of the Evolutionist
Evolutionists often react vehemently when creationists say that they accept their theory by faith, and that both creation and evolution are 'faith positions'. Many evolutionists have made statements which reveal that evolution is not really science but a religion.
Animals That Use Tools
When Leah, a female gorilla in the Congo, was observed using a stick to help her wade through a pool of water, evolutionists claimed that this was further evidence that apes and humans are closely related. Some even suggested that this meant that apes were beginning to “discover technology”.
Men of Science — and God
There is a popular myth that science and belief in the Bible are incompatible. Nothing could be further from the truth. There are thousands of Christian scientists in the world who see no conflict between their beliefs and their research...
