How Reliably Determined Is Earth’s Age? Publication by Hugh Ross ( February 8, 2023 ) Question of the Week: Young-earth creationists believe all the ways scientists date the earth at 4.5 billion years are inaccurate. They believe it is only about 6,000–10,000 years old. What do you tell people about how reliable the old-earth data is? My Answer: Young-earth creationist scientists acknowledge that if the radiometric decay rates are constant […] Geology & Earth
Quote of the Week: John Jefferson Davis Blog by Kenneth Samples ( September 21, 2012 ) While human logic can assist in preserving revealed mysteries such as the Trinity and the incarnation from heretical distortion, human logic in and of itself can never fully comprehend them. Human logic points to the mysteries, and guards them, but can never claim to fully possess or control them. –John Jefferson Davis, Theology Primer (Grand […] Theology
Better Understanding of Helium and Heat Transport in the Earth Publication by Hugh Ross ( March 2, 2006 ) Support for RTB’s creation model grows as scientists gain understanding of the heat and helium transport through the Earth. One outstanding issue in understanding Earth’s interior relates to whether mixing in the mantle operates over the whole mantle or in segregated layers. Although scientists favor the simple, whole-mantle convection model, they have not been able to reconcile the model with measurements of the helium and heat flux at Earth’s surface. However, a team of geophysicists shows how aquifer layers in the crust greatly reduce the flux of helium relative to heat, reconciling whole-mantle convection models with field measurements. As scientists’ model of Earth’s interior processes increases in explanatory power and detail, the evidence for RTB’s creation model also increases. Geology & Earth
Great Telescope Site Publication by Hugh Ross ( October 21, 2004 ) A tremendous opportunity for discovering new scientific evidences for a supernatural Creator has been determined to exist on the coldest spot on Earth. Australian astronomers found that truly remarkable seeing conditions exist above Dome C in Antarctica. The average seeing disk at Dome C is more than three times smaller than it is at the next best site on the planet. This means a telescope at Dome C would outperform a telescope three times as large anywhere else on the planet. Moreover, interferometric measurements that would be impossible anywhere else on Earth can be achieved at Dome C. Another team of Australian astronomers determined that Dome C also provides unprecedented conditions for millimeter wavelength measurements. Thus, future telescopes and instruments placed at Dome C will enable astronomers to measure with unparalleled accuracy cosmic design features and explore in detail the physics of the cosmic creation event. Such advances can significantly augment the scientific evidence for the God of the Bible and the biblical cosmic creation model. Creation Views

Is the Trinity to Be Worshiped? Blog by Kenneth Samples ( March 5, 2024 ) Historic Christians worship the triune God. Consider this part of the Athanasian Creed (probably written in the fifth or sixth century) that is recited in liturgical churches throughout the world on Trinity Sunday: That we worship one God in trinity and the trinity in unity, neither blending their persons nor dividing their essence. For the […] Theology
