Why does science work at all? This fundamental question reveals something profound about reality itself. Modern science didn’t emerge by accident, it flourished uniquely under a Christian worldview while remaining stillborn in other cultures throughout history. The very foundations that make scientific investigation possible—objective truth, an orderly universe, rational thought, and honest reporting—find their roots in biblical principles. Without these presuppositions, there would be no basis for expecting consistent natural laws or trusting human reason to understand them. This exploration challenges the popular narrative about faith and science, revealing how Christianity provided the essential framework that made modern scientific discovery not just possible, but inevitable.

Where do sudden insights—those creative “leaps” of inspiration—come from? This exploration of imagination and design proposes that the creative process involves more than just steps of reasoning. Inspiration often appears fully formed, untraceable to logic alone. Designers frequently draw from nature to create things that are elegant, purposeful, and unified. If nature is our most consistent source of good design, what does that say about its origin? These questions challenge the notion of randomness and suggest deeper implications.

Diamonds are often said to be billions of years old—older than the dinosaurs and forged in the deep past. But recent discoveries challenge that timeline in striking ways. What does it mean when fresh, unfossilized wood is found entombed deep inside diamond-bearing rock? Why does it still contain cellulose, able to burn like any ordinary log? Even more puzzling: Carbon-14 has been detected in diamonds themselves, something that should be impossible if they were truly ancient. And if we can make diamonds in a lab in mere hours, why insist that nature takes eons? These findings point to a much younger age—one that fits the biblical timeframe.

Was Darwin’s evolutionary theory inspired by his opposition to slavery? Explore the complex relationship between Darwin’s personal abhorrence of human slavery and his scientific observations of slave-making ants as natural selection in action. While born into a family of abolitionists, Darwin’s evolutionary works notably lack anti-slavery advocacy and even describe slavery in nature as “beneficial.” This examination challenges recent claims about Darwin’s motivations, revealing how his theories were later used to justify racial hierarchies rather than combat them. The author argues that contrary to popular portrayal, Darwin’s “sacred cause” wasn’t abolition—it was challenging the idea of divine creation.

Twisted bands of rock, once soft as clay, now tower in rigid beauty. How did they come to be? Mainstream geology says time and pressure worked their slow magic over millions of years. But what if there’s a faster, more powerful explanation rooted in biblical history? This striking look at folded strata challenges deep-time thinking, offering strong geological evidence that these layers were laid down rapidly and bent while still wet. Discover why the global Flood described in Genesis remains the most compelling answer.

Charles Darwin once admired the idea of design in nature, but he spent his life trying to explain it away. Rejecting Genesis as true history, he dismissed miracles, resented future judgment, and saw natural selection as a substitute for God. Yet, his reasoning was often circular—denying miracles by assuming they were impossible, and rejecting biblical teaching based on personal discomfort rather than sound logic. His struggle with suffering, particularly after his daughter’s death, led him further from faith. But was his rejection of God truly based on evidence, or was it driven by emotion and flawed reasoning? Russell Grigg examines the inconsistencies in Darwin’s worldview, exposing the logical missteps that shaped his unbelief.

Polystrate fossils—fossils that cut through multiple rock layers—challenge long-held geological assumptions about slow, gradual deposition. These fossils force secular geologists to acknowledge that many layers must have formed rapidly, yet mainstream science avoids naming them, dismissing “polystrate fossils” as a creationist term. Why is there no alternative secular term? Could these fossils be evidence for a global catastrophe rather than countless local floods? The case of Joggins, Nova Scotia, provides striking examples: upright fossilized trees, missing soil layers, and even inverted stumps—all difficult to reconcile with deep-time explanations. Instead of admitting to a single cataclysmic event, long-age geologists invoke multiple smaller catastrophes, contradicting their own gradualist framework. Paul Price explores how these fossils expose inconsistencies in secular interpretations and bolster the case for a worldwide flood.

G.K. Chesterton observed in the early 20th century how Darwinism blurred the lines between science and philosophy. He warned against the “insane simplicity” of materialism, which, while logical, limits understanding to natural processes and denies the possibility of miracles. Chesterton argued that Christians, embracing both the natural and supernatural, hold a freer and more complete worldview. He critiqued Darwinism as speculative, pointing out its lack of concrete evidence and reliance on coincidence to explain complex features in nature. Beyond science, Chesterton saw Darwinism’s moral implications as dangerous—devaluing human life and paving the way for eugenics and cruelty. His sharp insights remain strikingly relevant today, as Lita Sanders illustrates through Chesterton’s enduring critique of flawed evolutionary philosophy.

Description In letters and at ministry events, we often receive challenges mainly from skeptics trying to stump us by citing passages in the Bible about God killing, or ordering others to kill, ‘innocent’ people. But the Bible clearly presents a consistent narrative from Genesis to Revelation of God’s big picture plan for the salvation, redemption, and judgment of human beings. Jesus paid the penalty of sin for all who trust in Him, God is free to extend mercy to those who repent.

Many people erroneously think that Charles Darwin was once blissfully content with the biblical explanation of origins. The truth is significantly otherwise. The concept of evolution had, in fact, been ‘in his family’ ever since his grandfather, Erasmus Darwin, first suggested it in 1770. So we need to carefully consider the influences on Darwin’s mindset before he set out aboard the Beagle on his round-the-world trip in 1831.

The Christmas season often brings messages of Jesus’ birth, but are they connecting with an increasingly skeptical culture? Why should people trust the account of Bethlehem, angels, and shepherds if they’ve been told Genesis is merely a myth? The true foundation of Christmas isn’t in Luke 2 but in Genesis, where humanity’s need for a Saviour began with Adam’s sin and its consequence: death. Bodie Hodge challenges Christians to address these foundational issues, showing how Genesis explains the bad news—sin and death—so people can grasp the good news of Christ’s birth, life, and ultimate sacrifice.

Is Christmas rooted in pagan traditions? Should Christians celebrate it? These questions spark debate among believers, but the answers lie in a careful examination of history and Scripture. The claim that December 25th is a borrowed pagan festival is challenged by evidence pointing to its roots in early Christian observances and Jewish traditions. Rather than avoiding celebrations due to perceived pagan connections, Christians are reminded of their liberty in Christ, as guided by Scripture. Dr Jonathan Sarfati explores these ideas, addressing misconceptions with logical and historical clarity, and encouraging believers to consider the true significance of celebrating Christ’s birth.

At the heart of the origin-of-life question lies an intricate puzzle: how could the building blocks of life — DNA, RNA, and proteins — have come together without intelligent guidance? Without both DNA and proteins present, neither can function to create a living cell, leading to a “chicken-and-egg” dilemma that challenges purely natural explanations. Dr Don Batten dives into the science behind these questions, exploring the barriers to life’s spontaneous origin and examining claims that evolution bypasses the origin issue. His analysis reveals that life’s complexity, from amino acid chirality to the programming of DNA, remains an unsolved mystery, echoing the need for an intelligent Creator.

An ancient Egyptian toothpaste recipe, written on papyrus in the 4th century AD, has been discovered in Austria’s National Library. With ingredients like mint, salt, pepper grains, and dried iris flower, the formula was far ahead of its time, even compared to what was used until Colgate’s first toothpaste in 1873. Modern research has revealed that iris is an effective agent against gum disease, adding further intrigue to this ancient creation. Dr David Catchpoole explores how such discoveries challenge the view that early humans were primitive, offering insights from a biblical perspective on human ingenuity.

Creationists have long discussed rafting as one of the means by which animals migrated post-Flood.

The thought that dinosaurs might be living in some long-forgotten corner of the world has fanned the flames of curiosity for a long time. Many of our supporters believe it is true, and we have done much to support the possibility over the years. However, it is time for a critical reassessment. 'Living dinosaurs’ was a good idea from the past and was associated with the birth of the modern creation movement. However, and despite a lot of effort on the part of some, it did not pan out. This does not mean that dinosaurs are not a great entry point for the creation/evolution debate. Quite the opposite, because the evidence we have gives us some of the strongest refutations of the grand scheme of evolution. ‘Living dinosaurs’ is not nearly as good an argument as soft tissue preservation and carbon-14 in dinosaur bones. The former remains undocumented, and the latter comes straight to us from the laboratory.

The world is saturated with impurities. Everywhere you look, it seems like sinfulness is being celebrated. One just needs to turn on the television or browse social media to see examples of immorality on display. But the importance of purity can be implied from Scripture right from the beginning because we know God is holy and we are made in His image. Thus, it automatically follows that we should mirror His image. What Scripture says about purity is still relevant today.

To the scientists, the answer to the question of how abiogenesis chemical evolution occurred lies in the notion that evolution needs a self-replicator. They propose that quantum mechanics helped mediate the search for a self-replicating proto-enzyme molecule in the alleged primordial soup. In the end, when it comes to rescuing abiogenesis from impossible odds, we are faced with a choice. We can wave our magic wand and say that quantum coherence was present in non-living matter to mediate the search for a self-replicating ribozyme in the alleged primordial soup. Or we can trust the Creator when He tells us in the first chapter of Genesis that it was He who created every living thing on the earth and in the sea.

The various facets of the doctrine of the Trinity are taught clearly throughout Scripture, and the true believer will accept the doctrine of the Trinity.

When faced with challenges about the Bible and God, some say, “I don’t know”, or “We can’t know”, and still others, “I don’t want to know, please leave me alone.” Those who give the second and third answers are not being very agnostic about their agnosticism! The Bible is clear that the opposite of faith is doubt and unbelief, whether or not such a person expresses that doubt in outright denial (atheism) or agnosticism. In conversations where Christians are witnessing to non-believing friends, it is fair to say that both the “don’t know” and “can’t know” retorts are a cop out. They are poor excuses, attempts to disguise the fact that people simply wish to avoid committing themselves. However, the truth really does matter because people matter!

Transhumanism is a movement that holds that scientific and technological advances can be used to improve humanity. It continues to be promoted by governments, global businesses and elite technocrats, with little understanding of the true nature of humanity. The justification for transhumanism arises from the foundational weakness of atheistic humanism, with its belief in evolution.

Several influential archaeologists reject the Bible's portrayal of the monarchy led by Saul, David, and Solomon, claiming that the physical evidence contradicts the biblical record. Such claims are often repeated to the public as if they have been proven beyond reasonable doubt. But they are actually based on highly controversial interpretations of the facts. The evidence for Saul, David, and Solomon is plentiful, and if archaeological discoveries continue on their current trajectories, more supporting evidence will surface in the future.
