Did You Watch Me Create The Earth? Devotion: God asks 87 questions in Job chapters 38-41. Most of these questions are scientific in nature. Let’s paraphrase the first question as, “Did you watch me create the earth so that you know how I did it?”
Assumptions of Evolutionists Evolutionists start with countless unproven presuppositions. These unproven starting assumptions require that creation be rejected. Creation is rejected NOT on the basis of scientific conclusions, but on the basis of unproven a priori assumptions.
The Propaganda of Steven Jay Gould If anyone should know the evidence for evolution, it should be Gould. In an article for Discover magazine, he offered three pieces of evidence for evolution. Despite his obvious scientific acumen, his arguments were not only philosophically illogical but contrary to the available evidence and his own writing.
How Old Is That Cave? Think about the many unprovable assumptions which an evolutionist uses in determining the age of a cave. If any of these unproven assumptions are wrong, then the resulting scientific conclusions made by evolutionists are invalid.
