Podcasts about creation research

Since the late eighteenth century, most scientists have argued for a uniformitarian view of Earth’s history. They claim the world that exists today was sculpted by natural processes over billions of years. However, this interpretation presents many issues both scientifically and theologically. Contrary to popular belief, the global evidence indicates a recent catastrophic past. By definition, science is truth attained by knowledge gained from evidence, but most students will only be presented with the uniformitarian view of Earth’s history. Recently, the Institute for Creation Research has had the privilege of publishing a geology textbook: Earth Systems: An Introduction to Earth System Origins, Structures, and Processes. This landmark textbook presents both worldviews, allowing the reader to examine both sides of the conversation. In today’s episode, we’ll take a look at why such a biblical understanding of earth science is vital and why this textbook is such a valuable resource.

For sixteen years, his undead reign brought terror to the living and torment to his widow. But when the villagers finally rose against him, they unearthed a horror beyond imagination. (Jure Grando: The First Vampire) *** For nearly a millennium, a monstrous black dog with eyes like burning coals has stalked the foggy coastlines and ancient churches of East Anglia, leaving death and terror in its silent wake. From its first recorded appearance in 1127 where it led a spectral hunting party through Peterborough, to its most infamous attack in 1577 when it allegedly killed four churchgoers, the creature known as Black Shuck has become far more than just another ghost story. Through centuries of sightings and evolving folklore, this massive demon hound has transformed from a Viking guardian spirit into one of Britain's most enduring legends - one that some locals insist still prowls the shadows of Norfolk and Suffolk to this day. (Black Shuck: East Anglia's Demon Hound) *** In 1857 London, the Bacon family's home became the center of supernatural chaos when mysterious sounds and flying objects drew crowds of over a thousand spectators to their modest Bermondsey residence. But when thirteen-year-old Caroline confessed to creating the ghostly disturbances using strands of hair to topple objects, her deception was revealed as an act of rebellion against her father and new stepmother. This tale of a fake haunting offers a poignant glimpse into Victorian family dynamics and the desperate measures one girl took to assert her independence. (The Bermondsey Poltergeist) *** In October 1975, what began as a late-night drive for two young men in rural Maine turned into an encounter that would haunt them forever. David Stephens had no memory of being taken aboard a massive UFO by mushroom-headed beings until months later, when hypnosis sessions revealed the terrifying truth about the hours he lost that night – an experience so profound that it would drive his friend Glen to flee the state and change both their lives forever. (Night of the Mushroom Men) *** Could the Moon's perfect positioning—exactly 400 times smaller than the Sun and precisely placed for total eclipses—be more than cosmic coincidence? Authors Christopher Knight and Alan Butler propose a mind-bending theory: that future humans (or their advanced robots) traveled back in time 4.6 billion years to construct the Moon, creating the exact conditions needed for life on Earth to emerge. Their provocative hypothesis suggests we might be caught in an infinite loop, with humanity traveling to the past to ensure its own creation, much like the ancient symbol of Ouroboros—a snake eternally consuming its own tail.

Today's episode centers on the ongoing challenges and historical context surrounding homeschooling freedoms, particularly in California. Nathan highlights past legislative attempts to restrict homeschooling. This includes proposals to ban homeschooling outright in the 1980s and to impose strict regulations in the 1990s, such as mandatory background checks and curriculum standards. These legislative efforts often intersect with broader issues of parental rights, religious freedom, and societal norms, particularly regarding the teaching of creationism versus evolution. Nathan emphasizes the importance of community engagement and collaboration among homeschooling families and organizations to protect these freedoms. Despite significant victories in the past, such as the Institute for Creation Research case, the battle for homeschooling rights is ongoing, with new legislative proposals threatening to impose further restrictions. Nathan calls for vigilance, prayer, and active participation in local and state organizations to safeguard homeschooling rights for future generations, stressing that freedom requires continuous investment and advocacy.FPM Website: https://fpmca.org/Bill Tracker: https://fpmca.org/billtracker/

Guiding Principles:  Gretchen Ronnevik Quote We LOVE: “When I taught classical writing to teens, there's an element to formal rhetoric called "refutation" where you address the arguments opposed to your thesis. In refutation, it's important to present the arguments of your opponents in a way that they would feel well represented, so that you can talk about where they are wrong in their argument, point by point, instead of resorting to ad hominem attacks, or misrepresentation. In classical rhetoric, ad hominem attacks, and twisting the words of your opponent where they would say "but that's not what I said, nor how I meant it," is actually the weakest way to refute their arguments. It shows that you don't have a good case against their issue, so you resort to theatrics and distractions instead. The reason that you want your opponents to agree with your representation of them is that you are seeking to win them over and persuade them. If they feel they have been misrepresented, they will never be persuaded, they will just continue to clarify again and again, until they realize you have no intention of actually hearing them.” Gretchen's website and Twitter/X Account PoliticsiCivics: Susanna's recommendation for teaching civics and government to grammar/rhetoric stage studentsThe Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt: Susanna's book recommendation for rhetoric students and adultsEconomics Uncle Eric Books: We mention using these books to explain the Libertarian or Free Market view of economicsTuttle Twins: We mention this as an example of an economics/government program for kids that has a stated Libertarian slantOlder students should read the strongest arguments for each major economic theory and/or the source material, like The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith for Free Market Economics or The General Theory of Employment by John Maynard Keynes for Keynesian economics. Resources for looking for rhetoric stage economics courses (let us know your comments about potential slants!): Great Courses (a lot of course options, check the syllabus to see if the course you're interested in covers multiple economic theories) Edx  (same as above)Khan Academy (they have a section about Keynesian economics and its critics)Crash Course (supplemental videos, potential Keynesian slant.

On every side we and our children are bombarded by lies and distortions of the truth. How do we counterattack? Listen to this lesson to learn that this is a spiritual warfare that is resolved in the mind. The first step must be to accept that only the Bible is absolute truth and when there is a contradiction, we must evaluate the matter based on biblical truth. Hear a number of ways to do this and important links that answer some of our questions biblically. During this lesson Dr. Dean mentioned several websites with biblical training materials for children (and adults): Answers in Genesis: www.answersingenesis.org Creation Ministries International: www.creation.com Institute for Creation Research: www.icr.org Creation Research Society: www.creationresearch.org Creation Moments: www.creationmoments.com Master Books: https://www.masterbooks.com Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth (RATE) www.icr.org/rate/

Dr. Brian Thomas from the Institute for Creation Research stops by to discuss the age of the Earth. Is it billions of years old or much, much younger? What is carbon dating, and is it reliable?

There is a bit of a debate amongst believers regarding how to reconcile scripture with scientific claims about the age of the earth. Many assume that the evidence that the earth is millions of years old is water-tight, and therefore we only have three options: find a way to fit millions of years into the Bible somewhere, reject clear scientific evidence, or reject the Bible entirely. Those who do try to cram millions of years into scripture have to do it somewhere in Genesis 1. I've heard this done in two ways. One is the gap theory, which places millions of years in between Genesis 1:1, when God created the heavens and the earth, and Genesis 1:2, when the earth was without form and void. The idea is that earth was created once, destroyed, and then remade in between the verses. There's a fascinating book called "The Invisible War" by Donald Barnhouse that makes this claim fairly compellingly -- but so far as I can tell, even if one were to subscribe to this idea, the earth was still remade in Genesis 1:2--at which point the clock should start over. This won't "solve" the biblical young earth problem. The other possibility uses 2 Peter 3:8, which says that "a day to the Lord is as a thousand years," to extrapolate that a day is also to the Lord as millions of years. Therefore, the six days of creation were actually millions of years apiece. There are a number of philosophical problems with this. In certain places, scripture is poetic and should be interpreted as such. Psalm 91, for instance, says that "He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge" (91:4).  This is obvious poetry, meant to evoke the image and feeling that God protects us the way a mother hen protects her chicks. It would be absurd to think this means that God has literal feathers. Many of the psalms employ similar poetic imagery, as do many of the prophetic books, Song of Songs, etc. These should be interpreted as poetry, and not as literal historical books. But Genesis is written like an historical book. Genesis 1 is about as clear as it could possibly be that we're talking about six literal days. After each day the scripture says, "so the evening and the morning were the (blank) day," to illustrate that we are talking about 24 hours. Also, Genesis says after each day, "And God saw that it was good." Death is not good; death is the result of sin (Romans 6:23). Sin didn't happen until Genesis 3. If each of the six days of creation was actually millions of years, do we suppose that no creatures died during that entire time? And if death did enter before Adam and Eve ever sinned, then how was creation pronounced "good"? Romans 8:19-22 tells us that even creation groans under the weight of corruption--it too must ultimately be redeemed. When did it become corrupted, if not by sin in Genesis 3? Finally, if Genesis 1 is really a metaphorical abstraction representing millions of years of evolutionary change, what other apparently historical scriptures can be allegorized? Was there really a flood? How about a real resurrection? In short, what can you trust? The Bible is either true or it's not. If the Bible is literally trustworthy, what do we do with all the evidence that "proves" the earth is millions of years old? Does "science" actually prove this? Carbon-14 dating is the best known dating method that most people think of in conjunction with this question. The most common isotope of carbon is C-12, but all carbon-based life forms start out with a certain, albeit very small, amount of the C-14 isotope in life. C-14 is radioactive, which means over time (after death) it decays via beta decay, in which one of its neutrons becomes a proton, turning it into nitrogen. The half life of C-14 decay is only 5700 years, give or take 30 years in either direction. That means it takes roughly 5700 years for half the amount of C-14 that started out in organic material to decay into nitrogen--so  you can't use C-14 dating for anything older than 100,000 years. Past that point, there shouldn't be any C-14 left. And yet, some dinosaur bones have been found to still contain C-14 (https://www.icr.org/article/radiocarbon-dinosaur-other-fossils).  How is this possible, if they are supposed to be millions of years old? Those who defend the evolutionary time scale will claim that the C-14 must have crept in via contamination. Yet there are even more remarkable findings in dinosaur bones than C-14. Many still contain intact biomolecules (here's a comprehensive list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eXtKzjWP2B1FMDVrsJ_992ITFK8H3LXfPFNM1ll-Yiw/edit#gid=0). These include hemoglobin and blood residue (https://www.icr.org/article/a-80-million-year-old-mosasaur-fossil), retinal tissue, and skin (https://www.icr.org/article/original-tissue-fossils-creations-silent). Ages at a greater timescale than 50-100K years are determined via radiometric dating of igneous rocks (those formed by volcanic eruption), often using potassium-40, which decays to argon-40. Once the lava cools, the rocks are "born"--and the assumption is that any elements that are in a gaseous state at the time will escape before the lava cools into a solid. Argon-40 is a gas, so once hardened, the igneous rock should start out with no argon. Whatever potassium there is should, over a very long time time, decay into argon-40 (the half-life of this process is 1.25 billion years). Thus, the ratio of potassium to argon can serve as a proxy for the age of the rock. Unfortunately, this isn't always accurate. The igneous rocks formed in the Mt. St. Helens eruption of 1980 were tested using the potassium-argon method, and were dated to be hundreds of thousands of years old. Apparently, all the argon gas did not escape prior to the lava solidifying into rock, making the rocks appear many orders of magnitude older than they really were. Additionally, igneous rock are porous, so gas can diffuse into or out of the rocks, further confounding the process. If this method is so wildly inaccurate for dating a known eruption, how can we trust it for anything unknown? Another common dating method is the ratio of uranium-238 to lead-238. This decay is a 14-step process (not a one-step like potassium to argon), with a half life of 4.5 billion years. Eight of these steps produces a helium atom, so for every one atom of uranium, eight helium atoms should be produced. Because helium escapes from rocks fairly quickly (they are porous, remember), there should be little to no helium left if the rocks were billions of years old. But the RATE project (Radioisotopes and the Age of the Earth) at the Institute for Creation Research determined that some of these rocks had high amounts of helium still trapped in them. This finding is consistent with radioactive decay--it was occurring--but it was inconsistent with the expected 4.5 billion year half life. One possible explanation for this is that half lives might not be as fixed as previously believed. This has been demonstrated for other elements in laboratory experiments: radioactive Rhenium-187 decays to osmium-187 with a 41.6 billion year half life, but if all of Rhenium-187's electrons are experimentally removed, the half life can be sped up to a mere 33 years (https://answersingenesis.org/geology/radiometric-dating/acceleration-of-radioactivity-shown-in-laboratory/). Granted, that was under laboratory conditions--but it does cast further doubt on the absolute nature of half-life decay in general. Other common dating methods are relative, using the date of something "known" to infer the date of something unknown. These involve index fossils--i.e. if the fossil of one creature is found next to a dinosaur fossil from the Cambrian period, scientists will then assume that the previously unknown fossil must be 400-500 million years old. (But then of course the question becomes, were they correct in dating the index fossil?) Paleomagnetism is another possible relative method. The earth's polarity has changed at various times in its history, and the polarity of magnetic rocks reflects earth's polarity at the time they were buried. Scientists believe they know when earth's polarity reversed in the last 10,000 years, so  ferromagnetic materials bearing a certain polarity can serve as a proxy for the date of anything found nearby (provided it was estimated to be 10,000 years old or younger). But again, this depends on a lot of assumptions--and there is evidence (https://answersingenesis.org/age-of-the-earth/more-evidence-rapid-geomagnetic-reversals-confirm-young-earth/) that  earth's polarity reversed many times, rapidly, over a very short period of time. Creation scientists believed that this was a consequence of the worldwide flood, in which some of the waters came from the "fountains of the deep" breaking up (Genesis 7:11). This sounds very much like shifting tectonic plates, which would have set off volcanic eruptions. Since earth's magnetic field is generated from its churning molten core, it stands to reason that earth's polarity might have been affected by the same process. The Bottom Line We're bombarded with the narrative that evolution and the "deep time" of earth is established fact, rather than a theory, but it's not true. Majority opinion does not establish a truth--what matters isn't what the majority believes, but whether or not they are right. (The idea that majority opinion equals truth is called the logical fallacy of faulty appeal, or 'the appeal to the many.') Nevertheless, it can be daunting, and perhaps even feel arrogant, for the lay public to challenge the unanimous narrative of the experts. There is, in fact, a large number of experts who do not subscribe to the dominant narrative of evolution as established fact. In April 2020, over 1100 scientists in a vast range of scientific disciplines including chemistry, biology, medicine, geology, and paleontology signed a statement claiming, “We are skeptical that ‘random variation' and ‘natural selection' can explain the complexity of life. A serious review of the evidence for Darwinism should be encouraged.” (https://www.discovery.org/m/2020/04/Scientific-Dissent-from-Darwinism-List-04072020.pdf) These voices might be suppressed, but they are out there. Science and religion are not in conflict. God made the universe and everything in it, and science is simply the study of what He made. Psalm 19:1 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork." All truth is God's truth. True science always points to Him.

Listen to Part I of the interview HERE. And be sure to check out Bob Enyart's 4 Part interview with Jane Albright on her Flood models controversy articles! *Pastor Kevin Lea: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney welcome Pastor Kevin Lea of Calvary Church Port Orchard WA for a deep dive into his presentations - Part I & Part II, (along with faithful co-laborers) of Hydroplate Theory to the headquarters staff at the Institute for Creation Research. *Planet 9 From Outer Space: The predicted discovery of “Planet 9” (or Planet X) by atheists, and old earth cosmologists to explain the argument of the perihelion, has never come to pass. But Dr. Robert Brown's peer-reviewed journal article describing the origin of distant TNOs from within our solar system did! *The First Creationist Hydroplate Conference: September 21-23, 2023. Join Fred, Doug and an “A-List” of RSR favorites for the first conference on Creation and Hydroplate Theory Science! Attend virtually by registering today at: Hydroplate.org. *Engineering, Credentials & Evidence: We are thankful for Pastor Lea and the HPT advocates like Rob Brown (see him at RMCF 2023), Bryan Nickel (See his HPT Video Series) and the others who gave the presentation to ICR that Walter Brown has  never had the opportunity to give, (Walt Brown received a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology where he was a National Science Foundation Fellow. He has taught college courses in physics, mathematics, and computer science. Brown is a retired full colonel (Air Force), West Point graduate, and former Army ranger and paratrooper. Assignments during his 21 years in the military included: Director of Benet Research, Development, and Engineering Laboratories in Albany, New York; tenured associate professor at the U.S. Air Force Academy; and Chief of Science and Technology Studies at the Air War College. For much of his life, Walt Brown was an evolutionist, but after many years of study, he became convinced of the scientific validity of creation and a global flood. Since retiring from the military in 1980, Dr. Brown has been the Director of the Center for Scientific Creation and has worked full time in research, writing, and speaking on origins). *The Empire Strikes Back: Read some of the history HERE (part I) and HERE (part II) explaining the resistance to the Hydroplate Theory by so many of our wonderful brothers in the Lord. *Prayers for ICR & Randy Guliuzza: Join us in lifting up ICR and their Chief Randy Gulliuza in prayer! (And watch this interview Randy did with the Babylon Bee)! And pray for us at RSR that we will remain humble enough to always pursue the truth. *Closing Argument: Hear Pastor Lea's passionate delivery of the simple gospel!  *RSR's Global Flood and Hydroplate Theory: Pick up your own copy on DVD, Blu-ray, or HD video download today!

*Paster Kevin Lea: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney welcome Pastor Kevin Lea of Calvary Church Port Orchard WA for a deep dive into his presentation, (along with faithful co-laborers) of Hydroplate Theory to the headquarters staff at the Institute for Creation Research. *Attend! The First Creationist Hydroplate Conference: September 21-23, 2023. Join Fred, Doug and an “A-List” of RSR favorites for the first conference on Creation and Hydroplate Theory Science! Attend virtually by registering today at: Hydroplate.org. *Not the Hydroplate Theory: But it was great to see John Knox and our fellow workers at the Babylon Bee's “straight” news site Not the Bee cite Walt Brown in a story about unrelated water possibly trapped within the earth's mantle. While those waters, (if they exist) are not necessarily related to Walt Brown's Hydroplate Theory we welcome the boys at the Bee to link to Walt as often as they can! *Can I Get a Witness? Since none of us were there at the time of the flood, (except Jesus Christ), we must turn to His Word first in analyzing flood models, and everything else in life!

Chris and Christine have an in-depth conversation with Tricia Hanska on science in education and how Christian education bridges the gap between secular and biblical worldviews. Tricia shares her passion for God's creation and science, giving insight into how to prepare children to learn about science through a biblical lens, while also learning how to defend their faith. When a student learns about science with a biblical foundation, they will grow in discernment that God's word is true and articulate their faith and worldview with confidence.Tricia has a degree in Zoology and was the Outreach Education Coordinator at the Kansas City Zoo for many years before staying home to focus on her family. She also advanced her education working on a Master of Science in Science Education at the Institute of Creation Research.To learn more about the Herzog Foundation, visit HerzogFoundation.com.

Dr. Randy Guliuzza visits The Babylon Bee to destroy evolution with cutting-edge biological research focused on the programmed ability of creatures to adapt–but not evolve! Oh snap! We also discuss the proper place for creationism in evangelism and apologetics and how to properly interpret Genesis (hint: there's no evolution). Dr. Guliuzza is the President of Institute for Creation Research (ICR).Institute for Creation Research: https://www.icr.org/ ICR on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@icrscience Darwin Dethroned Seminar is livestreaming February 11, 2023: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRnp_H66tdo Become a premium subscriber: https://babylonbee.com/plans?utm_source=PYT&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=description
