Increases in Oxygen Prepare Earth for Complex Life Publication by Jeff Zweerink ( June 30, 2010 ) One of Earth’s most remarkable attributes is the permanent oxygen component of the planet’s atmosphere. Oxygen’s reactivity makes it an efficient energy source for life, but it also means oxygen would disappear quickly without a continuous resupply. Atmospheric oxygen increased dramatically during two different periods in Earth’s history. Yet these increases occurred only because of a complex and elegant interplay of geological, astronomical, biological, atmospheric, and chemical processes. Geology & Earth
Psalm 104: A Poetic View of Creation Blog by Krista Bontrager ( May 3, 2013 ) While you may not have noticed the connection with Genesis 1, Psalm 104 offers a poetic meditation on key themes presented in the first chapter of the Bible.

The Usefulness of Carbon 14 Publication by Hugh Ross ( January 1, 1998 ) RTB’s correspondence team is asked repeatedly to explain methods for dating the age of the universe and earth. The most frequent question has to do with the reliability of carbon 14 dating. I make no mention of carbon 14 in my books for six reasons: First, the carbon 14 dating method measures the time since […] Physics & Mathematics
Record-Breaking Star Gives More Evidence for Big Bang Creation Model Blog by Hugh Ross ( November 11, 2019 ) What counts as evidence that a scientific model is consistent with reality and therefore true? According to scientists, there is strong evidence for a model when advancing knowledge yields a progressively better-defined and more detailed description of the phenomenon the model explains. To that end, detailed spectral measurements of two stars from very early in the universe’s history have now yielded a more detailed and more precisely defined big bang creation model. Creation Views
