Hi Brian, A strong-in-faith Christian friend of mine recently told me of his pretty solid belief in an old universe and earth. He follows some astrophysicists and geologists who claim to be believers, and is a very sharp guy himself. I am going to do some looking, in my "spare time" (hard to find) for the most compelling arguments on both sides. I'd like your opinion and thoughts on the couple of old-earth evidences in this article: http://www.modernreformation.org/default.php?page=articledisplay&var1=ArtRead&var2=1137&var3=issuedisplay&var4=IssRead&var5=112 . Thanks!

Since the Voyager spacecraft sent back pictures of Saturn's rings in 1981 the rings have become dramatically dimmer. A portion of the D rings (the innermost ring) have even shifted 125 miles closer to Saturn. Though this surprises the evolutionists it is in perfect line with a young earth that is only 6000 years old as described in the Bible.

The following was emailed to me. I thought these comments were good and worth posting so I asked him if I could do so. He said that it was fine so here it is. The best thing he said was during the question time, that "The opposite of homexuality isn't being "straight" - The opposite is holiness." Some things he said definitely need clarificiation. Indeed, they sounded terrible. How does he answer someone that says they tried it (leaving that lifestyle) and it didn't work? I'm not saying this will work for everyone. A.A. doesn't work for everyone. (that's a pretty close paraphrase.) You have a right to live this way- God doesn't demand you live a certain way. (true he gives us free will, but DOES demand ) He stumbled around with the question about who told him he should be ashamed of homosexuality. When I said from the back, "All sin is shameful" He heartily agreed and told me to come on down here. However he basically said all sin was the same. Now granted, a liar will go to hell just like a murderer. BUT the Bible makes many distinctions in sin. There are 6 things the Lord hates, yea 7 are an abomination unto him" 1Cor 6:9 has another list, there IS a sin that leads unto death, I do not say that you should pray for it. He that did things that were worthy of many stripes... he who joins himself to a harlot has sinned against his own body, all other sins are outside the body. The law prescribed varying degrees of punishment up to and including death. I wonder if he considers a liar as equal to the guy molesting him? Both will condemn a man, but both are not equal. I am glad he was there and I think I understand his method, but it seems a little compromised/pragmatic to me. Indeed even humanistic. He didn't get out because it was offensive to a holy God, but rather because he "didn't find what he was looking for in it. God could certainly use his testimony nevertheless, and I did go down front to shake his hand and thank him for coming. Also to give him my question which I tried to give him, but he told me to give it to a woman standing with him, he may not have even seen it or maybe didn't have time to get to it or ??? I asked him to clarify a point and said that he certainly had to agree that anyone who came to Jesus in faith would be delivered.

Just watched part III of "The Great Debate" on AIG's Video on Demand page. Towards the end of that segment, they discussed what the Fall did to Creation. And while they all seemed to poke at an answer, none seemed to have anything definitive. Would not the Fall be the point that God inacted the Law of Atrophy?

Mr. Young, Someone has tried to tell me that there is evidence for "transitional" fossils that help explain how one species mutates into another. Their defense is that we only get to see a "snapshot" of the supposed "other" species and so we shouldn't be surprised that we don't see it often. Is there any legitimacy behind this whatsoever? What would be a helpful and rational defense in this situation? Thank you. Ignatius

I know I've heard that Christ was born during the fall (feast of trumpets?) and that I was told how that conclusion was drawn, but alas I was asked by a friend and could not again find that information, could someone Please refresh my memory so I can tell my friend Why it is that He wasnt born in the spring or at christmas?

Hello all. Given all the recent controversies regarding the "tomb of Jesus" and the Da Vinci Code among other fakes and lies told about our Lord and His death and resurrection, I wanted to provide you with some facts about that week so you can be armed to "give an answer to all those who ask you about the hope you have". 1 Peter 3:15. "But you Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall increase." Daniel 12:4 With that in mind, let us begin. Meshiach Nagid, or the Triumphal Entry is what most Christians refer to as Palm Sunday. When was that day? Well, according to Daniel 9:25 "Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the command to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince, there shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublesome times." The key here is the street and the wall. In the book of Ezra, the command was given to rebuild the temple. The date we need to compute this is found in Nehemiah 2:7-8. King Artaxerxes Longimanus gave that decree in his 20th year on the 1st of Nisan. Sir Robert Anderson, the head of Scotland yard in the 1880's in his book The Coming Prince gives us the mathematical solutions to this date. I will briefly state the results needed here but would recommend the book to any of you for further study on the subject. As for the weeks in Daniel's prophecy, one week is the equivalent of seven years. So we need 483 years for Messiah to come. Has a week ever been referred to as a seven year period before? Glad you asked. Look at Genesis 29:27 for that. Now, the days needed. Sir Robert Anderson and the calculations from the Jewish calendar to our Roman Julian one is 173,880 days. Again, his book provides more details. When was that started in our time? March 14, 445 BC. When was the Triumphal Entry? April 6, 32 AD, or the 10th of Nisan on the Jewish calendar. This date for us is significant for multiple reasons. Jesus, being the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world is our Passover lamb. Exodus 12:3-5 tells us, "Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, On the tenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for the household. And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man's need you shall make your count for the lamb. Your lamb shall be without blemish..." and then verse 6, "You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation shall kill it at twilight." More on the 14th of Nisan later. During the Triumphal Entry, while the Hallel Psalms (112-116) are sung, fulfilling Zechariah 9:9 while riding on a donkey, another special prophecy was fulfilled. Psalm 118 is a Messianic Psalm and I encourage you to read all of it for the bulk of which is quoted on that day in the Gospels. Verse 24 says, "This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." Some of you may have gotten cards with this quote on it and while the sentiment is good, the specific day this refers to is in fact, Palm Sunday. We are also talked about in the Triumphal Entry. In Luke 19:39-40, "And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, 'Teacher rebuke Your disciples.' But He answered and said to them, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out." This is a Midrash here. The stones DO NOT refer to creation or rocks. We the church are called "living stones, 1 Peter 2:4-10 for example" set on a sure foundation (Luke 6:46). The church is living stones built on the chief cornerstone whom the builders rejected. So, in other words: if these should keep silent (Israel), even the stones (The Church) would cry out. Remember, salvation is to the Jews first, then to the Gentile. Romans 1:16. This is why Jesus wept over Jersualem shortly before he entered Jerusalem that day. They have one offense that will be forgiven at His second coming. They did not know the time of their visitation. Are you ready? Study, study, study. God's word is excellent! I will continue this through the crucifixion and resurrection in the future. Read up and study. Don't take my word for it. Keep Acts 17:10-11 in mind. Be a Berean.

Quite a few people have said that the sun is shrinking, but at the same time astronomers say that it is actually swelling as a result of thermonuclear fusion or somthing. So which one is it?

The Journal Nature just reported that due to new dating techniques it only takes 13 million years to grow a mountain instead of the 40 million years previously believed. Science books need to be rewritten again. But will they be? Obviously they didn't take the Bible and Noah's Flood into account in their findings which would drastically lower the dates again. Any thoughts?

Where did people get the idea that we evolved from apes?

A team led by Jon Davidson of the Unversity of Durham recently used improved equipment to measure the accuracy of the highly regarded mineral isochron dating methods. They found the assumptions behind this dating method were "invalid in many instances." They also found that the tests geologists use to check the accuracy of the results were flawed as well. Sounds like the dating methods aren't as reliable as evolutionists would like you to think. The CIA newsletter #21 shows how the Bible accurately dates the age of the earth. Other problems with the dating methods have been discussed in our DVD "The Dating Methods." which shows that rocks picked out to be dated cannot be near water. Do you think Noah's Flood would contaminate a rock or two?

It occured to me that evolutionists, if true to their beliefs, should be leading the fight AGAINST abortion. For by their understanding, the reproductive drive would be based on an evolved need to advance the species. That would explain the continuity of evolution. As such, abortion directly contradicts this evolved reproductive drive and would therefore be "unnatural", and directly opposed to the evolutionary process. Are they being hypocrits by supporting abortion?
