Scripture On Creation podcast

Is the human body designed or cobbled together?  Creationists and evolutionists have different explanations and point to different evidences to support their viewpoint.  Dr. Karen Scripture discusses the idea of crowded teeth.

The Creator is in control of the earth.  Descriptions of the power of God displayed in violent storms and earthquakes are reasons to ascribe GLORY to the Lord.  (This program was recorded after the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that devastated Japan in March of 2011.)

This Psalm refers to God founding the earth.  On that basis--as Creator--"the earth is the Lord's."  He determines who may enter His presence, He will come to earth according to His own will.

The testimony of God in the heavens is inescapable.  People on every continent and speakers of every language all "hear" the same declaration--the Creator God is great, and He is glorious!

This well known Psalm of David highlights the biblical truth that God is revealed in two main ways; in creation (especially in the heavenly bodies) and in His Word.  Nowhere on earth can His existence be denied since there is no place where the heavens are not visible.

A tiny worm larvae with brain and gut intact was found in China.  Perfectly preserved for-- according to evolutionists--520 million years.  The detail of this specimen is astounding and begs the question; could it really be that old.

Psalm 8 highlights the amazing power and grandeur of the Creator displayed in His "fingerwork."  In light of how great God is, David marvels that the Creator would care about him.

The Scripture On Creation program will begin a new series-Creation in the Psalms. Creation and the Creator are a major theme in the book of Psalms. We will be considering any passages related to creation or to God if He is identified as the Creator.  The 1st such Psalm is, Psalm 8.

Jesus' substitutionary death on the cross paid for all the sin of the world; it also redeemed a cursed creation.  For personal redemption, an individual must trust Jesus Christ's work on their behalf which He accomplished on the cross.  The creation will be set free from corruption when Christ returns.

Two of God's attributes are clearly displayed in creation.  The fixed order of the stars--His faithfulness; the dangerous and unpredictable storm--His power.

Scripture makes it clear that God does not change, e.g. Hebrews 13:8; however the heavens and the earth will at His command someday. 

When witnessing to an unbeliever he/she will often say, "I don't believe what the Bible says." therefore, quoting Scripture may seem useless.  One approach to that dilemma is to explain why YOU believe the Bible. 

The angels, including Lucifer who became Satan (among other names), are all created beings.  Some of the events involving Satan and the angels are discussed.

Cryptobiosis--an amazing ability of some creatures to go into stasis, shutting down ALL metabolic activity; but for 46,000 years and then come out "swinging?"  Some scientists claim a little worm they thawed out in Siberia did!

Birds seem to hold a special place in the created kinds God uses in the Bible.  From representing the Holy Spirit to being used to teach us important spiritual truths, birds are perhaps the most remarkable of creatures.

25 years on the radio--15 years podcasting--THANKS TO ALL OUR LISTENERS over the years!  We reair the original "Podcast announcement," and discuss a question about the Nephilim of Genesis 6.

Man left to his own imagination and "wisdom" explains that "the origin of everything is the result of random chance."  In contrast the wisdom of God is displayed in His creation, and revealed in His Word.  We discuss what "Wisdom" says in Proverbs chapter 8.

It is important to understand what the words of Scripture meant at the time they were written.  Many words (even bara generally translated "create) have more than one meaning; the context determines the specific meaning in any given sentence.

It's truly amazing what different birds can do.  The speeds they can achieve and the odd habits they were created with or have developed are discussed in this program.

This program is all about birds (called avian dinosaurs by evolutionists); what they're like what some can do, and which ones are Scott's and Ben's favorite feathered friends.

Laymen may not know it, but trained astronomers, though absolutely certain it MUST exist, acknowledge the origin of comets is still a "mystery."  We discuss assumptions adhered to by evolutionists in their attempts to explain things like comets or our water covered planet.

The tiny animals called Tardigrades are virtually indestructible.  These fascinating creatures--also known as little water bears or moss piglets--possess abilities that the concept of "survival of the fittest" can't explain, and thus, are one of many examples of over-design in nature.

The final program in the Job series considers the details of what happens after Job repents--God doubles all the possessions Job had before Satan destroyed them.  Why God just "replaced" his 10 children is also discussed.

Job resisted answering the Lord's challenging questions earlier in the book.  In chapter 42, Job is finally compelled to answer and in doing so admits his ignorance.

What do Job and Fred Flintstone have in common?  Dinosaurs, of course!

This is the second half of Scott interviewing Dr. Scripture about the trip "around" the Pacific Ocean.  Where Ben and Karen went, what they saw and what was Australia like is what Dr. Scripture describes--especially his experience scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef.

Scott interviews Dr. Scripture about a trip around the Pacific he and Karen had planned many years ago.  They were finally able to go this Fall, traveling to Hawaii, Japan and Australia.

Is it even thinkable that an animal could produce fire from its body? The answer is YES. The precedent is set by the Bombardier Beetle, pronounced bomba-deer (Dr. Scripture says in wrong throughout the program--oooops!)

Was Leviathan a real animal or as many think, merely a symbolic description of evil or disaster?  Reasons to understand Leviathan was truly a living, fire breathing dragon are discussed.

Job chapter 41 describes Leviathan--a terrible dragon. However, Job introduces this diabolical beast in association with all his torment in the beginning of Job, Job 3:8.

We all deal with the same data, the differences in how old a creationist thinks the universe is is due to how the data is interpreted, and how reliable they think the data is.  Dark matter and energy, for example, is a key issue.

Creationists do differ on the age of the universe.  Often referred to as young earth or old earth creationists, this two part program discusses some of the arguments the two views present.

In an effort to explain how an animal that is said to have been extinct for 210 million years is painted on the cave walls by the San people of South Africa, evolutionists conclude these people were interested in paleontology about 200 years ago.

God continues challenging Job in response to things Job had said about the Lord. Thus, in chapter 40 verses 1-14, He repeats back to Job some of what Job had said. Then starting in verse 15, the Lord describes a creature that doesn't exist—at least today.

In Job 38:33 through chapter 39, the Creator describes the characteristics and abilities of several of the amazing animals He made.

As the Creator challenges Job with His works in creation, Job 38:31-33 reveal some detail about the arrangement of stars in two constellations, the Pleiades and Orion, that astronomers have only discovered in the last few decades.

Job refers to ice and snow more than any other book of the Bible.  Is it because the memory of a recent ice age is fresh in the minds of those living at that time? The idea is discussed.

In Job 38, verses 8-11 seem to refer to God's creative work on Days 2 and 3.  From verse 12 through 30 then, He sites phenomena we know about but can hardly explain--the point being He, the Creator, DOES understand it all.

In Job chapter 38:4-6 the Creator reveals His design for the planet Earth.  In Job 38:7 is the only clue in Scripture about WHEN the angels were created. Verses 8-11 relate to days 2 and 3 of creation.

Dr. Menton explains the wonders of the created eye and the meaning of the BIBLICAL term "apple of the eye."

A few years ago the "Creation Community" lost a great spokesman, Dr. David Menton.  Professor for decades in Washington University (St. Louis) Medical School, and part of Answers In Genesis, his expertise in biological systems is greatly missed.  Dr. Scripture interviewed Dr. Menton in 2019; what we discussed is still totally relevant.

We've come to chapter 38; the point at which the Creator Himself enters the "debate." He speaks to Job in a whirlwind--the sense being the Lord is not going to be gentle.  In verses 4-6 God describes the design of the earth.

Elihu rebukes Job for his arrogance and Job's friends for their mistaken condemnation of Job.  Elihu demonstrates a thorough understanding of the nature of Man, and highlights God's power shown in a thunderstorm.

What's beyond space; where is the flaming sword that guarded Eden; what will we do forever in heaven?  Dr. Scripture addresses these and other questions.

Dr. Scripture spoke about creation to middle schoolers at Camp Horizon in central Florida; they had LOTS of questions.  Related to Job 38:7, many of the questions were about angels. In this program we address them.

Starting in chapter 32, a "young" man named Elihu enters the discussion.  His comments allude to the idea that Job and his colleagues lived much longer lives than we do today.  Elihu also reveals an understanding of Gen 2:7.

Cavemen and human rights; discovered and socially applied in just our modern era?  In Job chapters 30 and 31 these ideas are discussed by Job as he laments his condition.

In Job 28, Job describes the pursuit of wealth and points out that wisdom should be pursued to an even greater extent.  However, Job laments, wisdom cannot be found by Man.  Such a pessimistic conclusion is the result of his intense suffering.  Yet he proclaims, "the fear of the Lord that is wisdom."

In Job chapters 27 and 28, Job laments the suffering the Almighty is putting him through, but he refuses to curse God or accuse Him of wrongdoing.  Job also refuses to confess to wrongdoing that he did not commit.

Mark describes the soft unfossilized tissue found in dinosaur bones and the significance of these kinds of discoveries for the claims evolutionary theory makes concerning their age.

Mark Armitage has published articles describing and showing electron micrographs of unfossilized tissue in dinosaur remains.  In part 1 of this interview his background and an initial description of his findings are presented.
