Excerpt: "There are two competing world views regarding origins: 1. Evolution teaches us that stars have changed into people over billions of years, and that there never was a worldwide flood. 2. Creation teaches us that God created everything, including stars and people, thousands of years ago, and that there really was a worldwide flood.
We all see the same fossils, same rocks, same animals, and same universe. Why are there two world views?"

The Flood and How It Relates to Science by Ted Nommensen
Sections: The earth before the Flood The purpose for the Flood. The chronological events of the Flood as related in the Bible. The effects on plants during the Flood. The effects on animals living at the time of the Flood. The possible effect on the geology of the Earth as a result of the Flood.

Excerpt: "When I had a chance to study the first chapters of Genesis as an elementary school student, I thought it odd that God seemed so inactive on the first day of Creation. After all, what did He do on this day besides creating light? Compare that to the third day of Creation, for instance, when He was busy bringing forth dry land and creating all the types of vegetation, or the fifth day, when He created all the creatures of the sea and those of the air. However, a careful examination of Scripture along with a bit of logical reasoning (and a dose of speculation now and then) reveals that God was far more active on Day One than merely creating what we call visible light."

Grasping for Straws - The Indonesian 'Hobbit' Editorial Comment by Warren Krug
Excerpt: "Working on a remote Indonesian island, Australian scientists have reported the finding of bones of a human dwarf species which they have named Homo floresiensis or Flores Man and nicknamed "The Hobbit" after JRR Tolkien’s fantasy creatures."

This appears to be a reprint of a much older Journal article. While still a very good article, it mentions the possibility of a vapor canopy, which most creationists abandoned years ago. The arguments of this paper still apply, except crediting a vapor canopy is no longer argued by most creationists. There still may have been much less atmospheric C-14 before and immediately after the flood. See several other LSI essays and articles, including the May 2003 LSI Journal article, "The Vapor Canopy Theory - Is It in Trouble?" As always, science changes, but God’s revealed truth in Scripture never changes. MSB, 3/16/2014

Origin of Life and Species: Four Formulas by Darrel Kautz This is a reprint of a much older article. Darrel Kautz went home to the Lord in 1993.
The formulas given in this section are those often used by Prof. Wilder-Smith when lecturing on the differences between the creationist’s and the evolutionist’s views about the origin of life and species.
Description
Origin of life research is not enabling Darwinian fundamentalists to propose better and better theories for the origin of life without intelligent design. Instead they are stalemated and following the siren song of biochemical predestination, which only takes them from the frying pan to the fire. The known laws of science, from information science to biology, reveal that information requires an intelligent creator, language even more so. Life comes from life, and ultimately from a self-existent (uncaused) Living Creator with the competence to create life.

Review - Finding Darwin's God by Jeffrey Stueber Review of Kenneth Miller’s book, "Finding Darwin‘s God."
This book is a stern rebuke to the intelligent-design community, which is gaining headway among the educational establishment, fellow scientists, theologians, and many youth. Miller seeks to debunk I.D. and reaffirm naturalistic evolution while installing theistic evolution as God’s chosen method of creating.
