Two out of three teens are leaving the church after high school—a statistic that should alarm every Christian parent. But why are they walking away, and what can be done to prevent this exodus? The root cause isn’t what most expect. While churches focus on entertainment and youth activities, the real issue lies in intellectual preparation. Students face evolutionary teaching daily but receive no scientific evidence supporting biblical creation. When faith meets academia, unprepared minds abandon belief. A revealing campus survey shows the stark reality: students equipped with creation answers stay faithful, while those without such knowledge leave the church entirely. Gary Bates shares decades of ministry experience and practical solutions for parents and church leaders.

Two genealogies of Jesus—one from Matthew, one from Luke—list different names. Why? And what does it mean for Jesus’ claim to be the Messiah? One approach suggests Matthew lists royal succession, not biology, while Luke follows a biological line through a different son of David. But a deeper dive reveals something even more intriguing. Could legal adoption, Levirate marriage, and repentance after exile explain how Jesus inherited both David’s bloodline and right to the throne? Dr Robert Carter offers a reconstruction that makes sense of it all—and reinforces trust in the Bible’s reliability.

Impact craters exist across Earth and the moon, but what do they reveal about our planet’s history? Explore how these cosmic scars challenge conventional theories about dinosaur extinction and instead provide compelling evidence for a global flood. The surprising arrangement of lunar craters suggests a catastrophic bombardment occurred rapidly, contradicting the millions-of-years timeline. Delve into the mystery of what really happened to dinosaurs after the Flood and why they don’t appear in certain rock layers. Dr Tas Walker explains how meteorite impacts during Noah’s flood reshaped Earth’s geology and reminds us of our planet’s vulnerability to cosmic catastrophes.

The book of Genesis poses many profound questions for every Christian. How long were the “days” of Genesis? Could there have been literal days before the sun? Would organisms have evolved and died before the Fall? What insights can be gleaned from the original Hebrew language of the text? Join us as we tackle these issues and more, exploring the implications that these have for our understanding of creation and how God’s redemptive plan plays out in history.

Ever wondered about the world's largest sand island? The mainstream narrative claims K'gari (Fraser Island) is hundreds of thousands of years old, but there's compelling evidence suggesting otherwise. Discover how distinctive features like coffee rock, perched lakes, and parabolic sand dunes reveal a fascinating post-flood history rather than requiring multiple ice ages to form. Learn why the island's unique soil profiles develop much faster than previously thought and how its remarkable ecosystems—from rainforests to heathlands—thrive on pure sand. The evidence points to a young island formed through two major sand deposition events, challenging the conventional timeline.

Discover the smallest motor in the universe—an astonishing molecular machine that powers all living cells with atomic precision. Explore why ATP synthase, with its near-perfect efficiency, challenges human engineering and evolutionary explanations. Dr Jonathan Sarfati explains how DNA’s replicating, repair, and detangling machines are vital for life. They are all encoded in the DNA, but the DNA can’t be decoded without these machines. This presents a “chicken-and-egg” paradox for naturalistic theories. DNA is also very unstable. Its presence in dinosaur bones undermine millions of years. RNA is 100× less stable than DNA, so could not be the first life. Evolutionists claim LUCA (Last Universal Common Ancestor) lived 4.2 billion years ago and already had 2.5 million DNA letters encoding 2,500 proteins. Life needed to start “very good” as Genesis 1:31 says. Otherwise, it would have crashed via error catastrophe.

The theory of evolution is widely taught in schools, but what if students aren't learning what they think they are? A surprising sleight of hand occurs in science classrooms worldwide. Students learn about natural selection—a process that can be observed and tested—but are told they've learned about evolution itself. While natural selection removes genetic information, evolution requires gaining it. Julie Neller, with 15 years of experience managing a school science laboratory, explains this critical distinction and why understanding it matters. Discover how parents can guide their children through these classroom challenges and equip them to think critically about what they're being taught.

What does it mean to be a man? Society offers conflicting answers, from outdated stereotypes to extremes of dominance or passivity. But what does the Bible say? Masculinity is more than appearances or achievements—it’s about integrity, humility, and servant leadership. A real man leads with compassion, exercises self-control, and strives to reflect the character of God. Scripture shows us flawed men—David, Moses, Gideon—who still pursued righteousness. It’s a call to resilience, repentance, and faith. Jeff Benjamin shares how these timeless principles challenge and inspire men to live as God intended.

For many, approaching strangers about faith feels intimidating. What starts as awkward religious debates can often drive people further apart rather than bringing them together. But what if there was a more natural way to discuss spiritual matters? Through stories of unexpected conversations in taxis, shops, and airports, discover how simple questions like “Do you have any spiritual beliefs?” can open meaningful dialogues. Learn how Creation Ministries’ resources help address spiritual questions many people are already asking, and explore practical tips for turning everyday encounters into opportunities for sharing faith naturally. Geologist and engineer Dr Tas Walker shares his journey from argumentative teen to thoughtful evangelist in this illuminating conversation.

Many Christians find themselves unsure how to respond when confronted with common atheist arguments. In this episode, apologist Keaton Halley addresses five frequently encountered challenges: Who created God? Aren't Christians atheists regarding other gods? Can God make a rock too heavy to lift? Would you believe differently if raised elsewhere? And is God just filling gaps in scientific knowledge? Keaton exposes the fundamental logical flaws in each argument while providing Christians with confident, reasoned responses. Drawing from his background in apologetics, he demonstrates how these challenges fail to undermine Christianity, and explains why evidence from science and philosophy actually points toward God's existence rather than away from it. ✍️ Links and Show Notes God Questions and Answers Who Created God?

The Bible speaks of a New Heavens and Earth. But what will it be like? Will it be some sort of ethereal, spirit-like existence? Or will it be physical? And how do a person’s beliefs about Genesis and origins—for example, belief in evolution and long ages—impact their beliefs about the coming New Creation? Join Gary Bates for a fascinating—and Gospel-centered—discussion of the New Heavens and Earth. Gary compellingly argues that physical resurrection is not only a basic Gospel truth, but that a physical New Creation is the only kind that could suitably restore what was physically lost in the original Creation due to the Fall. He also shows how belief in millions of years of evolution, death, and suffering before Adam sinned is both unnecessary, and ultimately incompatible with the Bible’s big picture of Creation → Fall → Restoration. ✍️ Links and Show Notes New Heavens and New Earth to include death and suffering?

The Grand Canyon often evokes a narrative of ancient history spanning millions of years, but is there an alternative explanation that aligns with the Bible’s historical account? From sedimentary layers to fossil arrangements, what if the evidence pointed to a catastrophic worldwide flood instead of slow geological processes? Explore the connections between geological and biological evolution, questioning assumptions like radiometric dating and the implications of bent rock layers that seem to defy conventional explanations. Scott Gillis invites us to reconsider widely accepted interpretations of Earth’s history, proposing that the Grand Canyon is not a monument to time but a scar from God’s judgment during Noah’s flood. Unfold the evidence that he believes not only supports the Bible’s truth but also challenges evolutionary timelines, pointing to a Creator who shaped, judged, and seeks to redeem the world.

Even the ‘simplest’ life forms are packed with biological ‘nanobots’—intricate molecular machines like DNA detanglers, rotary motors, and linear motors that are absolutely fundamental to life. Without them, life wouldn’t exist. So, can evolution explain their origin step by step? Not at all! As plant biologist Dr Don Batten explains, these nanomachines clearly point to intelligent design—not as a religious conclusion, but simply as the best explanation of the evidence.

Can the Bible be trusted when it describes the natural world? Some claim it reflects primitive cosmology, portraying a solid dome sky with stars embedded within it and waters above. If true, this would challenge the Bible’s reliability. But what do the Bible’s own words reveal? Explore how terms like “firmament” and descriptions of heavenly waters are understood in their original context. Is the Bible mistaken about science, or does it use poetic and observational language common in human expression? Keaton Halley delves into these questions, addressing claims about solid skies, heavenly oceans, and the movement of stars. By examining ancient Near Eastern texts and biblical language, Halley demonstrates why Scripture’s authority remains intact. He highlights the significance of interpreting the Bible within its context and trusting its claims about both the natural and spiritual realms.

Genesis is often debated: is it history, poetry, or myth? Why does it matter if it’s taken as literal history? Explore how Genesis lays the foundation for biblical doctrines and explains the origin of death and suffering. Can a worldview without Genesis uphold moral absolutes, or does it shift the basis for truth entirely? Dr Jonathan Sarfati unpacks the textual and theological reasons Genesis should be read as history. Discover the literary structure, the connection to the gospel, and how New Testament writers and Jesus Himself affirmed Genesis as real events. Dr Sarfati reveals why compromising on Genesis impacts not just theology but the essence of the gospel itself. ✍️ Links and Show Notes Genesis as Ancient Historical Narrative Did Jesus Believe Genesis?

The story of Noah’s Ark is often depicted as a quaint children’s tale, but what if it was far more sophisticated than we imagine? How did ancient shipbuilders craft a vessel capable of withstanding a global flood? Could the Ark have been more stable than modern ships? And what about the animals—how did they all fit, and where did they go after the Flood? Rod Walsh has spent decades studying and building models of the Ark, answering the tough questions skeptics ask. He explores ancient engineering, the reality of the Flood’s destruction, and the overwhelming evidence that a global catastrophe shaped our world. ✍️ Links and Show Notes Noah's Flood—Why?

Can Christians reconcile millions of years with the Bible? While some argue God could have used such vast periods to create, this idea raises theological challenges. Death and suffering in the fossil record contradict the Bible’s teaching of a perfect creation before the Fall. The question becomes one of authority: do we trust Scripture’s clear account, or reinterpret it to fit modern scientific claims? The origins of the millions-of-years concept trace back to early geology, but Scott Gillis highlights how this view undermines foundational doctrines like the Gospel and the justice of God. By standing on the authority of Scripture, he shows how the evidence—biological complexity and the global flood—supports the Bible’s account of creation, affirming a miraculous and trustworthy Creator. ✍️ Links and Show Notes Age of the Earth Was There Really No Death Before the Fall?

Reports of UFOs, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), have captured attention for decades, with sightings often defying the laws of physics. Many of these encounters challenge natural explanations, leading to deeper questions about their nature and origin. Could they be extraterrestrial, or do they point to a spiritual reality? Historical records, government reports, and modern testimonies reveal a complex pattern of deception that mirrors biblical warnings about the spiritual realm. Gary Bates, a leading Christian researcher, argues that these phenomena are not just physical anomalies but manifestations of a spiritual battle. He explains how invoking the name of Jesus halts so-called alien abductions and examines how cultural and technological trends influence the appearance of these entities. Through decades of research, Gary ties these experiences to biblical insights, offering a unique perspective on their significance. ✍️ Links and Show Notes The Government Reports On UFOs Prepare Ye The Way—The Aliens Are Coming!

In this video Dr Robert Carter, a Ph.D. in coral reef ecology and genetics, explores the distinction between natural selection and evolution, and examines how the two are actually opposites. We dig into how natural selection is part of God’s design, and how when we see species adapt within created boundaries, we are seeing something fundamentally different from evolution. Topics covered include how epigenetics and “created diversity” fit into biblical creation, how natural selection reduces rather than increases genetic diversity, and the origins of the millions of species that we see on earth today. ✍️ Links and Show Notes Natural selection ≠ evolution Natural Selection in Paradise ‘Refuting Evolution’ (Chapter 2) Problems in sexual selection theory and neo-Darwinism Too dry for a fly

The discovery of ice cores raises significant questions about Earth’s history and the accuracy of long-age interpretations. Are these frozen layers evidence of hundreds of thousands of years, or is there another explanation? The conventional dating of ice cores relies on assumptions about slow accumulation rates and orbital cycles, but what if those assumptions are flawed? Dr. Tas Walker explains how rapid ice buildup—consistent with the aftermath of Noah’s Flood—better fits the evidence. He challenges listeners to rethink what they’ve been told and explore a perspective that aligns with both science and the biblical account. ✍️ Links and Show Notes Ice cores vs the Flood The current state of creationist ice core research Tephra and inflated ice core ages Greenland ice cores: implicit evidence for catastrophic deposition

In this insightful conversation, the power of forgiveness is explored as a key to resolving conflicts. Jeff Benjamin delves into the challenges of reconciliation, emphasizing that avoiding conflict only builds tension over time. Instead, he advocates for facing issues head-on through forgiveness, even before receiving an apology, as a way to foster healthier relationships. Forgiveness, Benjamin explains, isn’t only for others; it frees us from bitterness and allows for peace. He shares how this principle aligns with biblical teachings and offers practical applications for workplace and personal relationships, encouraging listeners to rethink how they handle offenses, big and small. ✍️ Links and Show Notes Dawkins’ dilemma: how God forgives sin Is God unjust for sending people to Hell?

Our solar system presents mysteries that challenge conventional timelines. Saturn’s fragile rings, decaying faster than expected, remain too pristine for their supposed age. Oddball moons defy naturalistic formation theories, with some behaving unpredictably—like Pluto’s moon Nix, which spins backward against all logic. Dr Mark Harwood highlights these anomalies, alongside unexpected atmospheres and the persistence of short-period comets. Observations align with a recent creation, inviting a reevaluation of assumptions about the solar system’s age and origins. Dr Harwood ultimately ties these scientific insights to a worldview grounded in biblical truth. ✍️ Links and Show Notes Our young solar system Extrasolar planets suggest our solar system is unique and young 3 Signs the Solar System is Young Are Extrasolar Planets a Problem for the Bible?

Genetic engineering offers remarkable possibilities but raises significant ethical questions. Is it right to alter DNA to repair defects or improve crops? What about using genetic modifications to regrow human limbs? These advancements come with the potential for unintended consequences, requiring wisdom and moral clarity. How can Christians discern boundaries in a world where technology’s reach seems limitless? Dr Rob Carter examines genetic engineering through three guiding principles: respecting humans as bearers of God’s image, stewarding creation responsibly, and following Christ’s example of healing and restoration. He explores applications ranging from medical breakthroughs to ethical dilemmas in IVF and cloning. Rob provides a thoughtful, faith-based perspective on these complex issues. ✍️ Links and Show Notes Monkeying Around with Human Embryos Unnatural Selection (CRISPR on Netflix) Altering Human Genetics CRISPR Articles about ethics on our site

Magnetic fields, active volcanoes, and a receding moon – could these phenomena reveal a younger solar system than we’ve been told? Exploring these clues, we discover decaying magnetic fields that challenge billions of years, volcanoes whose energy sources defy long-age explanations, and a moon drifting from Earth too swiftly to fit evolutionary timelines. Each observation, viewed through a biblical lens, offers a perspective consistent with a creation thousands of years ago. Dr Mark Harwood, with expertise in aerospace and electromagnetics, presents compelling evidence that questions the naturalistic assumptions underpinning mainstream science. ✍️ Links and Show Notes Our young solar system The earth’s magnetic field: evidence that the earth is young The violent volcanoes of Io The moon’s recession and age

Exploring the tension between biblical and secular history, this discussion delves into complex questions—Is the Earth thousands or billions of years old? What do genealogies reveal about the Bible’s timeline, and how do we reconcile this with the dates proposed by modern science? The conversation also touches on ancient Egyptian history, carbon dating, and why these topics shape our understanding of humanity’s origins and our place in history. Beyond these scientific and historical analyses lies a more profound question: why does any of it matter? With insights drawn from Scripture, the discussion unveils how beliefs about creation and the Fall directly influence the purpose and message of redemption. These foundational elements connect directly to the role of Jesus, the “last Adam,” who reconciles creation to God. Dr Rob Carter weaves together science, theology, and personal experience, illustrating how a firm biblical foundation can transform both understanding and faith. ✍️ Links and Show Notes Why Bible History Matters Who is wrong about the biblical date of the Flood, and the Great Pyramid?

Radiometric dating methods are often cited as evidence for millions of years of evolution, but are these methods reliable? Dr. Mark Harwood explores how these dating techniques rely on multiple assumptions that can be adjusted to fit pre-existing beliefs about Earth’s age. He shares startling examples of inconsistencies, like rocks of known age returning wildly inaccurate dates, challenging the accuracy of dating methods as a whole. Dr. Harwood suggests that the real authority lies in eyewitness historical accounts, particularly those found in the Bible. He discusses how adopting a deep-time perspective contradicts the biblical timeline, potentially undermining its authority and the gospel message.

Carbon dating is often seen as a challenge to a young Earth view, but does it actually align with biblical history? Dr. Mark Harwood explains how carbon dating can be a tool for creationists, discussing key scientific principles and revealing surprising findings in coal, diamonds, and dinosaur bones. He unpacks how assumptions in radiocarbon dating methods impact results, emphasizing why the historical record, particularly the Bible, should be the ultimate authority over scientific interpretations of the past.

To support Creation Talk and our ministry (mentioned at the end) visit: creation.com/donate What worldview best explains the human capacity to think and make rational inferences? According to the ‘argument from reason’, this is strong evidence for the existence of God, especially the Creator God of the Bible. If humans were created in God’s image and God designed our minds, it is unsurprising that they work and can perform impressive feats. But if atheism were true and humans were merely accidental byproducts of evolution, what is the likelihood such a blind process would produce creatures who can reason properly? To delve more deeply into this topic, Dawn Blount interviews Keaton Halley, an apologist with Creation Ministries International. They discuss rationality, consciousness, natural selection, randomness, and evidence for the soul. At the end of the day, it’s clear that reason requires God. As C.S. Lewis once noted, the human ability to think and reason is the “cardinal difficulty with naturalism”. ✍️ Links and Show Notes Monkey minds: How evolution undercuts reason and science Can evolution produce rational minds?

Atheists must believe that living creatures evolved from non-living chemicals, via a process commonly called chemical evolution (aka abiogenesis). But real scientific laws, especially of chemistry and information theory, refute this. Chemical processes go in the opposite direction required. For example, life needs exclusively ‘one=handed’ molecules, while random chemistry produces an equal mix of left and right handed molecules. Also, little molecules in water don’t combine to form the needed big molecules; rather any big molecules break down to little molecules. Yet another problem is the wrong kinds of reactions, which chemical evolutionists avoid by buying pure reactants. Chemical evolutionists also can’t explain the encyclopedic information content needed for enzymes, DNA, and molecular machines essential for life.

Science requires many assumptions to work. A major one is an orderly universe. But an orderly universe doesn’t follow from an atheistic or pagan worldview. It does follow from the biblical teaching of a divine Lawmaker who is a God of order. Science first flourished in Medieval Europe thanks to the rise of the university and theologian–natural-philosopher class. The Reformation brought Christians back to objective understanding of Scripture, which was transferred to understanding nature. Later scientists like Francis Bacon were motivated by trying to recapture the knowledge they thought Adam had before his Fall.
