… in this case) need to research the history more thoroughly, taking the science where it leads. Fuz Rana says that the genetic evidence shows the family tree” as a “lawn,” in other words, disconnected blades rather than branches from a trunk. So why are there so many hominids in the fossil record? A great dose of humility is in order because we don’t know the mind of God. It could be that the Creator simply enjoyed making and observing such creatures for a time. Maybe God was gradually preparing the animal kingdom for the impact of humans. I wonder …

Rise of Oxygen Over the Past 205 Million Years

Rise of Oxygen Over the Past 205 Million Years

Publication by ( November 18, 2005 )

… in the atmosphere increased (with some dramatic oscillations) from 10% 205 million years ago to 17% 50 million years ago. For the past 40 million years the oxygen level has varied from 20-23%. The team demonstrated that the appearance of large-body-sized, high-metabolic-rate animals in the fossil record strongly correlated with the dramatic increase in atmospheric oxygen 50-40 million years ago. The team attributed this appearance to natural evolution. However, given that large-body-sized, high-metabolic-rate animals manifest the slowest (virtually zero) rates of natural evolution, and given that it would take a …

Finding Darwin’s God: A Scientist’s Search for Common Ground between God and Evolution

Finding Darwin’s God: A Scientist’s Search for Common Ground between God and Evolution

Publication by ( October 1, 2000 )

… the nonscientist. Ever articulate, Miller comes across as objective and fair-minded. When evaluating his arguments, however, the reader should be wary of his apparent even-handedness, winsome approach, and passion for Darwinian evolution. For example, his defense of Darwinian evolution and his response to Johnson’s assertion that the fossil record is inconsistent with biological evolution is unconvincing—even though Miller argues his point with great zeal. He repeatedly points to examples of micro-evolutionary changes (variations within species) as supporting evidence for macro-evolutionary changes (origins of new groups of organisms at the genus level and higher).

Science and Creation
The record of nature revealed by science is in remarkable agreement with the Genesis creation account. Geological studies of stones and sediments confirm that the early earth was a dark, cloud-covered, formless waterworld devoid of animal life. Studies of stones, bones, and other fossils further show that the order of events in the history of the earth matches the Genesis account (dark waterworld→continents→plants→clearing of the skies→marine life→land animals→humans).2 And finally, science has discovered that the …

New Archeological Evidence Fills the Gap in the Biblical Case for Human Origins

Publication by ( February 4, 2013 )

… capabilities and the capacity for symbolic representation. Some of these sites date close to 40,000 years in age. Presumably, modern humans carried this capability with them as they migrated into Europe, because archeological sites in Asia and Australia that date to 40,000–50,000 years in age also reveal that the first modern humans in these regions possessed symbolic capabilities.
The capacity for symbolic behavior correlates exclusively with the fossil remains of modern humans and can be understood from a Christian perspective to be a manifestation of the image of God. However, if this ability is a reflection …

… record of the impact history of the inner solar system. Such a record will tell us more about how the late heavy bombardment refigured the Earth’s interior so that a dynamo of the just-right strength, stability, and longevity could allow for the existence of advanced life. Such a record will also help us pin down how many mass extinction events were caused by colliders, how extensive each of those extinction events were, and how they potentially provide more evidence for a supernatural cause for the mass speciation events that followed.
