One of the most widely-quoted proofs for evolution, which in reality was no proof at all, is now apparently in serious trouble. Scientists are quietly admitting that the famous pepper-moth experiments are "essentially useless."

editorial note: This now 15 year old article makes several claims that are no longer used by most creationists, including dust on the moon, and Paluxy River tracks. Science with its theories and laws is forever changing, so both evolutionists and creationists often abandon “evidences” that they previously found compelling. Creationists should always make a clear distinction between unchanging Biblical truth and changing scientific claims (see LSI Journal article “Essential Tools for the Creationist” 2010). Also see LSI Journal article, “Shaky Creationism: Questionable Arguments Sometimes Used by Creationists” 2006. Mark Bergemann – April, 2014

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

Excerpt: "No other celestial object has been written about more in the western world than the object known as the Christmas Star or the Star of Bethlehem. The nature of this object is as controversial today as it was centuries ago. From a scientific point of view there are several astronomical objects or groups of objects that are possible candidates for being THE STAR."

Star Trek As a young boy, one of my favorite television shows was Star Trek. I wasted away many hours in front of the television wondering in amazement at what the future could be like. One of the cornerstones of the stories of that science fiction series was the presence of alien species working together for the good of all under the banner of the United Federation of Planets. Through the grand technology of that time and the sharing of knowledge between alien cultures, humanity had almost eliminated violence, war, sickness, and even greed. However, as I grew older I started to realize that there was an irreconcilable difference between the philosophy of Star Trek and the reality that is laid out for us in God’s Word in terms of an evolving humanity and in the chances of finding life elsewhere in the universe.

Critical Considerations of Your Origin and Existence
This article will compare how creation and evolution view the world around us and show how evolution consistently rejects explanations based on a creator god.
