Creation, Literal or Not?

The Plain Word has embedded videos onto our website that can easily be found on youtube.com as well. These organizations present sound information and data which is in line with the Biblical account of a: young earth, literal six day creation, life by design, and dinosaurs as part of the creation narrative – living alongside of mankind.

Our aim is to showcase their work and point you to them as a reliable source for information on these topics. Each organization has a plethora of materials ranging from documentaries, recorded lectures, books, etc. on these topics. The Plain Word finds them credible, data reliable, and biblically sound. The Plain Word highly recommends their materials.

See post titled: In The Beginning… Science – Part 2 of 5, posted on July 5, 2021 for further study and additional references.

CREATION ASTRONOMY

Apologetics Symposium. Spike Psarris was an atheist, evolutionist that became a Creationist and ultimately a Christian. For a number of years, he worked as an engineer in the U.S. military space program. He went into that career as an atheist and committed evolutionist. By the time he left, he had become a creationist and a Christian. The transformation happened in that order. First he became a creationist, because of overwhelming evidence against secular origins models, and supporting the truth of the Bible. Afterwards, he became a Christian. He mentions this because in the creation-evolution debate, you often hear the claim (from atheists) that Christians are creationists merely because the Bible requires us to be. Supposedly, if we could look at science objectively (without being blinded by our faith), we would see all the evidence for the Big Bang, billions of years of cosmic evolution, and then millions of years of biological evolution on Earth, and so on. That claim is false. Spike is one of many people in the creation movement who became creationists first, because of the evidence. Then became Christians later. His website is dedicated to proclaiming it in the area of astronomy.

FINGERPRINTS OF CREATION

Robert Vance Gentry was an American young Earth creationist and nuclear physicist, known for his claims that radiohalos provide evidence for a young age of the Earth.  Discover what evolutionary geologists and geophysicists call “a tiny mystery”… microscopic scientific evidence that appears to undenyingly support the instantaneous creation of the earth’s foundation rocks – the granites.

SCIENCE CONFIRMS BIBLICAL CREATION

Dr. Jason Lisle is a Christian astrophysicist who researches issues pertaining to science and the Christian faith.

CONFIRMING EVIDENCE OF A LITERAL ADAM & EVE

Dr. Georgia Purdom holds a PhD in molecular genetics. In this presentation, Dr. Purdom address the debate over the question whether Adam and Eve were literal people.

SCIENCE CONFIRMS THE BIBLE

Answers in Genesis focus is on providing answers to questions about the Bible—particularly the book of Genesis—regarding key issues such as creation, evolution, science, and the age of the earth (https://answersingenesis.org/). In addition, they have an entire series designed toward children and young adults which are great tools for parents (https://answersingenesis.org/kids/). Then they have an awesome Creation Museum (https://creationmuseum.org/) and the Ark Encounter which features a full size Noah’s ark (https://arkencounter.com/). Great place for a family outing or a sight to see while on vacation.

THE SECRET CODE OF CREATION

Dr. Jason Lisle is a Christian astrophysicist who researches issues pertaining to science and the Christian Faith. Dr. Lisle presents a rational defense of a literal Genesis, showing how science confirms the history recorded in the Bible. Dr. Lisle double-majored in physics and astronomy with a minor in mathematics at Ohio Wesleyan University. He then went on to obtain a Master’s degree and Ph.D. in astrophysics at the University of Colorado in Boulder. There, he used the SOHO spacecraft to analyze the surface of the sun, and made a number of interesting discoveries, including the detection of giant cell boundaries. Since then, Lisle has worked in full-time apologetics ministry. Brought up in a Christian family, at a young age he received Christ as Lord. Since then Lisle has always desired to serve the Lord out of love and gratitude for salvation, and to spread the Gospel message to all people.

WERE THE DAYS OF CREATION LONG PERIODS OF TIME?


SIX DAYS OF CREATION AND THE EISEGESIS PROBLEM, Ken Ham, Answers in Genesis (AIG)

Eisegesis? Ken Ham gets to the heart of the debate about the six days of creation. If we read from what the biblical text says (exegesis), it allows only one interpretation-six 24-hour days of Creation. Any other interpretation is eisegesis (when people “read into” the Bible).

CREATION MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL

Recommended Book: Darwin’s Demise by Joe White. The quantity of information stored in a pinhead s volume of DNA is equivalent to the content of a pile of paperback books spanning the distance from Earth to the moon 500 times. The human eye can handle 1.5 million simultaneous messages. A single drop of blood can be delivered anywhere in the body within 20 seconds. This book is a hard-hitting, fast-moving collection of evidence for creation presented in an interesting and entertaining format for young adults. What is the evidence for creation? Why is evolution so appealing? What have we learned over the last century? Here are the cold, hard facts and the ultimate conclusion that there is indeed a Creator.”  You can Google the book title and purchase from a number of sources.

THE PLAIN WORD

Colossians 1:16, “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:” KJV

Creation, as a part of God’s general revelation, affirms certain facts about God. Nature testifies to God’s existence and we have only looked at a handful of presentations. There are other fields of science that pose significant issues to theories outside of a “young earth” literal creation such as:

  • Chemistry: The chemical origin of life remains an unsolved mystery,
  • Taxonomy: Biologist have failed to construct Darwin’s “Tree of Life”, where Baraminology explains kinds a Biblical concept.
  • Genetics. Mutations cause harm and do not build complexity, and information is required for function.
  • Paleontology: The fossil record lacks intermediate fossils and has a global marine layer (cretaceous layer).
  • Biochemistry: Unguided and random processes cannot produce cellular complexity.

There are other sciences beyond the ones mentioned here, but this should give the serious seeker a good beginning for re-search. THE PLAIN WORD encourages your endeavor for the truth…for the Truth Matters. God Bless.
