Creation Moments on Oneplace.com

Dr. Wernher von Braun was considered one of the 20th century's greatest scientists. After pioneering work in rocketry, von Braun developed the Saturn V rocket, which successfully powered the first manned moon landing. In 1972, this great scientist was asked to comment on the case for design as a scientific theory for the origin of the universe. Aside from my brief comment at the end of this program, the rest of today's Creation Moment is in Dr. von Braun's words:"For me, the idea of a creation is not conceivable without invoking the necessity of design. One cannot be exposed to the law and order of the universe without concluding that there must be design and purpose... While the admission of a design for the universe ultimately raises the question of a Designer (a subject outside of science), the scientific method does not allow us to exclude data which lead to the conclusion that the universe, life and man are based on design...Some people say that science has been unable to prove the existence of a Designer... But they still maintain that since science has provided us with so many answers, the day will soon arrive when we will be able to understand even the creation of the fundamental laws of nature without divine intent. They challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must one really light a candle to see the sun?"Just remember Dr. von Braun next time you hear someone claim that no real scientists accept the existence of a Creator.Psalm 14:1"The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.' They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none who does good."Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, You have made it reality impossible for people to deny You. And yet in our sinfulness we seek to run away from Your loving care. Help me in my life so that I may not, on account of sin, seek anything else but drawing closer to You. In Jesus' Name.

Many people mistakenly believe that dinosaurs prove evolution. After all, dinosaurs are strange creatures and seem to represent a very different world from the one we know today. But a recent discovery of the most ancient dinosaur challenges this.One of the oldest dinosaurs ever discovered was about six feet long and weighed about 300 pounds. Scientists had never before seen a complete skeleton of the creature they called Herrerasaurus. But being the most ancient dinosaur discovered at the time, perhaps the dinosaur from which all others evolved, evolutionary scientists expected it to be much less advanced than later dinosaurs. What they found was yet another well-designed creature.The meat-eating dinosaur had excellent teeth, like those of a shark; its jawbone had a double hinge so that it could easily hang onto its prey. These sophisticated features weren't expected in such an ancient dinosaur. This is yet another proof that all creatures were well designed from the beginning. Herrerasaurus is yet one more example of the impossibility of evolution.Dinosaurs, just like all other creatures, were created by God during the first six days the universe existed. This means that dinosaurs and humans once shared this earth in the recent past. All things were created in a perfect state, so there was no need for evolved improvements. The changes we see since creation are not due to evolution but due to the degenerating effects of sin.Romans 1:25"…who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen."Prayer: Dear Lord, teach me to seek my improvement not through created things but through You, the Author of all that is good and the conqueror of all that is evil through Your death on the cross of Calvary and Your Resurrection. Amen.REF.: Oldest dinosaur, Time. Image: Herrerasaurus ischigualastensis Illustration, Fred Wierum, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons.

Orchids and other plants employ deceptive strategies—like mimicking female insects or prey—to achieve pollination. Their interdependence demonstrates a Creator's work, not evolutionary accident. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1232/29?v=20251111

While insects vary greatly in size, oxygen delivery systems limit how large they can grow. Spiders the size of houses are impossible due to these physical constraints.

Many scientists admit evolution is not a testable scientific theory but a metaphysical system of belief. The fossil record itself shows sudden appearance of fully formed creatures, not gradual evolution. Evolution is faith in man, while creation rests on faith in God's Word.

If death existed before Adam, then sin would not be the cause of death, undermining the Gospel itself. Scripture ties death directly to Adam's fall and new life to Christ.

The Ten Commandments affirm that God created in six days and rested on the seventh, forming the basis of the Sabbath. If creation days were ages, God's command about weekly rest would be meaningless. Scripture confirms creation occurred in six literal days. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1232/29

Some Christians think they must reconcile the Bible with evolution, but the fossil record shows creatures appear suddenly, fully formed.
