You've probably heard of flood legends around the world. But these aren't the only stories that sound similar to the history in the Bible.

I've heard that “we establish laws by consensus.” But different groups can have a different consensus. How can our group say they're wrong?

One famous atheist once told me he determines what's right and wrong “based on what I feel as a member of the human tribe.”

DNA is an complex language and information system built into the cells of every living thing.

During his visit to the Ark Encounter nine years ago, I asked Bill Nye, “the Science Guy,” if we're related to bananas and he said, “yes!”

If we're just animals, then why should we value life? Animals don't. Why not get rid of spare kids like spare cats? We're already seeing this with abortion.

If you die and that's it, then there's no ultimate purpose or meaning to life. But we can have lasting meaning and hope through Jesus' death and resurrection.

The atheist religion doesn't offer any hope or purpose. These things can only be found in Jesus Christ and in what he did for us on the cross.

The Bible has been teaching for thousands of years there's just one race. We're all descended from Adam and Eve and are all “one blood.”

According to God's Word, all humans are descended from just two people: Adam and Eve. And there's scientific evidence to support what the Bible says.

The problem with skeptics like Bill Nye isn't the evidence—it's the heart.

God's original creation was “very good.” Living in a fallen world, it's hard to imagine everything—including mosquitos—as “very good.”

Many people think the first two chapters of the Bible contradict one another. Which chapter's right?

Many people think science is neutral. A scientist just follows the evidence where it leads. But science isn't neutral.

Observational science confirms that the earth is a sphere. Science always confirms God's Word.

The Old Testament is foundational to the New Testament. It provides the history we need to understand what happens in the New Testament.

Evolution says the universe is billions of years old and that life is the result of millions of years of evolution. Both can't be right!

There's no way these proteins from remained intact and flexible for that long. Soft tissue in fossils confirms a young earth.

Scientists discovered that mitochondrial DNA couldn't last more than 650,000 years before it's totally destroyed.

Collagen has been found in fossils thought to be millions of years old. But it still had collagen in it and that can't last even one million years!

Soft tissue simply can't last for millions of years. This find is dramatic evidence that dinosaurs weren't buried millions of years ago.

The Bible says, “God created them male and female.” Instead of making decisions based on fallible feelings, we need to look to Scripture for solid answers.

Evolutionists argue that our bodies contain useless organs supposedly leftover from our evolutionary past. But all these organs have a function.

God's original creation was “very good,” there was no death or suffering. But the first people rebelled against God and the penalty was death.

It doesn't take long for a new ecosystem to emerge and, in the rapidly changing post-flood world, creatures quickly adapted and settled into new environments.

There's still so much we don't know about climate—and that explains why models keep making wrong predictions.

Is Jesus going to come and just judge some people living in a certain area? Of course not! The Bible is clear that everyone will be judged.

After the flood God put a rainbow in the sky and made a promise to Noah and his descendants that he would never flood the earth like that again.

Some people think the flood was just a local event. But then why would God ask Noah to build such a big ship when he and his family could've just moved away?

A local flood completely contradicts Scripture. The Bible is very clear—the flood of Noah's day was a global event.

To fit millions of years into Scripture many Christians argue that Noah's flood was just a local flood in Mesopotamia. But this isn't what the Bible says!

Those who claim to be non-religious are actually part of the religion of humanism! They haven't gotten away from religion—they've embraced a different religion.

According to God's Word earth is special and was “formed to be inhabited.” Instead of looking for aliens, these scientists should look to their Creator!

According to the evolutionary story, everything evolved—including our belief in God.

Neanderthals have long been considered not quite as human as we are. But the more we study them, the more obvious it becomes that they were humans just like us.

Creationists believe organisms can only reproduce according to their kind—and that's exactly what we observe.

Creationists and evolutionists observe the same world, but we come to totally different conclusions because of our different starting points.

The order in the fossil record doesn't represent different times—it represents different environments.

Humans and apes have similarities as well as massive differences. Creationists and evolutionists agree there's similarity but not why we have similarities.

Creationists use the true history from God's Word as a framework for interpreting the world around us.

Evolutionists say that evolution sometimes happens so fast that we can actually observe it. Is this “rapid evolution” the smoking gun? Not at all!

The ice sheets aren't the result of slow and gradual processes over long ages. They're the result of the flood and its aftermath!

Our ancestors were just as intelligent and innovative as we are. Instead of thinking with an evolutionary view, we need to start with God's Word.

Did you know there are unicorns in the Bible? Not the mythical creatures we think of today—these were real animals described alongside dogs, horses, and calves.

Science has been hijacked by a naturalistic worldview that completely excludes God. But this isn't science—it's a philosophical assumption!

When God looked at all he made, he said it was “very good.” Would God look at a creation full of death and call it “very good”? No!

Jesus affirmed the creation of Adam and Eve, the flood, Abraham, and even Lot and his wife. And Jesus was even a young-earth creationist!

The flood, not slow processes over millions of years, explains why we have rock layers and fossils. Yes, the Bible's history explains what we see in the world.

Many Christians believe they can add millions of years into the Bible. Usually the days of creation get stretched out to be millions of years long each.

Scripture doesn't give us an exact age or it'd be outdated every year! But it does make it clear earth isn't millions of years old.
