The claim that life came from outer space. With no way to get life started, Darwinists first line of defense is to claim the origin of life has nothing to do with the origin of the species. Many Darwinian faithful are going to Panspermia/Transpermia (a meteor brought life to earth, aliens dropped us off. etc.). Since we can not search the entire universe this belief is non-refutable. Of course, a real scientific theory must be possible to refute so this makes Darwinism a non-refutable religious philosophy which has undermined both scientific research, scientific education and the faith of billions of people. See my book Darwinian Delusion.

Three primary factors are: 1] Darwinism is all they’ve been taught since they were children; 2] their careers would be in grave jeopardy should they denounce Darwinism; and 3] many are simply rejecting their Creator.

Here are a few things to be considered: The term a “light year” is a measurement of distance (6 trillion miles), not of time. God, who provided the light on the first day, made a mature creation including Adam (a grown man), stars and starlight, which were to been seen immediately for signs of the seasons. God claims He stretched out the heavens ten times in Scripture (Isaiah 40:22, 42:5, 45:12, Jeremiah 10:12). Also, in the new heaven and earth that Jesus will give us in the nearing future, there will be no more Sun or moon as He will again provide the light.

Many independent teams of scientists have reported slowing light to a dead stop. If mankind can alter the speed of light, the starlight question becomes a non-issue since God could certainly do so.

Also, if stars evolve, star births should exceed star deaths. Yet 100’s of star deaths have been observed while never has a star birth been seen. This is why Secular astronomers continually claim to have ‘discovered’ star birthing regions in space, only to be proven wrong once real science provides some honest scrutiny.

Though Scripture answers the issue, there are several viable theories on why we can see starlight from distant sources in a creation that is only a few thousand years old. One good example is Dr. Russell Humphries book – Starlight and Time. I suggest you review his theory should you want to see an interesting and technical explanation that fits with known scientific facts.

In 2 Peter 3:3-6 it is foretold that in the last days scoffers would: a) claim current rates are the same as they have always been; b) deny God made the heavens mature; and c) deny the global flood – more prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes!

Very well! Keep in mind that the word “dinosaur” wasn’t invented until 1841. Prior to that they were called serpents or dragons. Besides the Bible, there are thousands of dragon stories in the history books going back 1,000 to 2,000 years. Along with these historical accounts we have rock drawings and man-made carvings of various dinosaurs which, we are told, are 500 to 2,000 years old. Ancient man had to have seen them to know what they looked like (dinosaurs could not have been extinct for “millions of years” before man existed)! Dozens of non-fossilized dinosaur bones have been found with soft tissues, amino acids, hemoglobin, red blood cells and even DNA in them. Scientists have said such biological material could only last 10,000 years at the most! For more on dinosaurs see our message or Single DVD: Noah’s Ark and Dinosaurs.

Most could not adapt to the ever-changing, post-flood world. The habitat, especially in the areas of climate and food supply, had been drastically altered. Competition with man likely contributed to the demise of others.

Coal is usually found in layers which requires the practice of strip mining for its removal. Evolutionists claim coal formed in swamps during the Carboniferous period 250 million years ago. However, coal layers at various depths, with strata layers between, often have coal seams which connect the upper layer to the lower. Old-Earthers can’t explain this. Dr. Steven Austin postulated a theory which fits the evidence. During a global flood, large mats of vegetation floated on the surface, dropping plant debris which was quickly buried by water deposited sediments to form today’s coal layers. The connecting coal seams formed at the point where the mat changed direction due to tides, winds, etc. In addition, Carbon 14 (which is measured in carbon dating) should decay away in less than 100,000 years. Yet coal, which is said to be 2,500 times this old, has never been found without C-14 in it. The evidence indicates most coal formed as the result of a recent worldwide flood.

The vast majority of ways to date things reflect a young creation. For example, helium escapes rocks quickly, geologically speaking. Yet rocks in the deepest strata layers still have lots of helium in them. Many planets are still hot despite losing heat faster than they receive heat. They can’t be old. The sun is shrinking. This causes a host of problems for old age believers. One is that earth’s orbit around the sun is held in place by the sun’s gravitational pull. If we were a fraction closer to, or further from, the sun, life could not exist on earth. As the sun shrinks, its gravity weakens so the solar system can’t be old. The earth’s magnetic field has weakened 6% over the past 150 years. Extrapolating backwards at this rate, the field strength would have equaled that of a magnetic star 12,000 years ago preventing life from existing on our planet. Oceans are 3.6% salt and the level of salinity is increasing. At the present rate, the water could have gone from fresh water to 3.6% salt in 50,000 years (if the seas began with no salt in them). There are about 1,200 minerals on earth. Amounts measured entering into the seas all point to an ocean too young for Darwinian requirements. Sediments on the sea floors accumulate via continental erosion. Studies of these sediments indicate a youthful ocean.

According to the Bible (Genesis 7:11), most flood water came from under the surface of the earth and from “the windows of heaven” which rained down to add to the deluge. One theory holds that toward the end of the year long flood, earth’s unstable plates, over the depleted fountains, collapsed to form today’s ocean basins (Psalm 104:8) and the waters flowed into these basins (Genesis 8:2-3).

If this is due to a misunderstanding of Psalm 90:4 or 2 Peter 3:8 I explain that, taken in the correct context, as all Scripture needs to be read, these verses are telling us God will do all that He has promised in His perfect timing. These verses have nothing to do with the length of the creation week, nor are they saying a day and a thousand years are the same thing to God.

Neither. Everyone has the exact same evidence to observe.

A person’s belief in the age of the earth comes down to which worldview, through which the earth’s crust are interpreted, they accept.

The Secular interpretation, taught as science for the past 50+ years, is the stratified layers of rock formed slowly over long ages of time. The biblical view is the global flood laid the layers down quickly, eroding old-earth beliefs (this is why old-earth believers deny the global flood as prophesied in 2 Peter 3:3-6). Same evidence; different worldview interpreting it.

God said I will destroy man (Genesis 6:7) and that’s what He did. Though God had filled the earth with animals, mammal fossils are rather rare, and pre-flood human fossils are rarer still.

Add to this that secularists date rock layers by how long ago they believe the creatures found fossilized in the strata layers lived, a layer found with a human fossil in it is dated to match their belief on when man “evolved.” For example, in 1972 a human skull (#KNM-ER 1470) was found under a layer which had been aged at 230 million years old. To fit the Darwinian tale, the layer was re-dated at 1.8 millions years old.

A good question to go with this one is to ask Darwinists, “Where are all the fossils detailing our evolutionary past?

Three primary factors are: a] ‘billions of years’ is all they’ve been taught since they were children; b] their careers would be in grave jeopardy should they denounce this religious belief; c] many are simply rejecting their Creator.

With old-earth beliefs providing the foundation for Naturalism, Darwinism and Humanism, going against “billions of years” beliefs will bring swift wrath upon anyone standing on the observable evidence of a relatively young planet.

Whether the earth is young or old, whether God used creation or evolution, whether God created in six days or over billions of years, or whether death existed prior to man’s sin are not the most important questions. But how you answer these questions, will shape how you respond to two primary questions:

1. Is the Bible the infallible, inspired Word of God?
2. Is Genesis 1 – 3 (the foundation for the Lord Jesus Christ as God, Creator, Judge and redeeming Savior) true?

Your answers to these two questions will determine whether you believe in the Jesus found in Scripture. It’s little wonder Jesus warned (John 5:46-47) if you don’t believe Moses you’ll have difficulty believing Jesus.

When a person answers ‘No’ to one of these questions they either lose their faith or invent a form of Jesus not found in the Bible. (2 Timothy 3:5) says “mankind will have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof.” Denying God can create by divine intervention as opposed to natural processes is denying His power. This is what Theistic Evolutionists, Gap Theorists, Progressive Creationists, Day-Age Theorists and Framework Hypothesizers do yet you will not find any of these Christs in the Bible – look for yourself! The Bible warns, “from such turn away”.

Jesus told us to tell good from evil by the fruit and old age beliefs have led billions of people to reject Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Talk about evil fruit! No wonder 1 Timothy 1:4 warns “not to give heed to fables and endless genealogies.”

According to Genesis 3:20 Eve is the mother of all people and Cain was her first child identified in God’s Word (Gen.4:1). Genesis 5:4 tells us that Adam and Eve lived for 800 years after the birth of Seth, when they were 130 years old, and they bore other children. Cain’s wife would have been from these descendants. She was possibly a sister or niece. Keep in mind that “in the beginning” close relatives were a person’s only option. With the recently created gene pool, mutational defects which cause the severe results we see in offspring of close relatives today, had not yet accumulated in their DNA. God forbid marriage to close relatives about 2,500 years later (Lev. 18-20) likely due to the mutational losses in the gene pool.

At the end of the six day creation, God called His creation “very good.” Satan was still the angel Lucifer at this time. Ezekiel 28:13-15 tells us Lucifer walked in the garden, created on day six, till iniquity was found in him. Since Lucifer was in the Garden in Genesis 3, when he got Eve to eat the forbidden fruit, we can conclude this was when iniquity was found in him. This was between day seven and one hundred years later. We can surmise this due to Adam being booted from the garden prior to the birth of Cain who grew up and killed Abel before the birth of Seth when Adam was 130 years old.

Once iniquity was found in Lucifer and he was ejected from the garden. Satan said, ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High’ (Isaiah 14:12-14). This is when the heavenly war occurred and Satan, with a third of the angels, those who had sided with him in his war against God, were banished to the earth.

Please note this destroys the man-made Gap Theory.

Noah didn’t have to collect any animals. God had the animals come to him. (God probably wanted Noah and his family to keep working on the ark.) Genesis 6:20.

There weren’t millions of animals, only a few thousand. Genesis 7:22 indicates Noah only had to bring land dwelling animals that breathed through nostrils, and some birds. This eliminates water dwelling mammals, fish, amphibians, insects, etc. He only brought a pair of each kind of animal (seven of the clean ones). For example, a pair of dogs would have sufficed to repopulate all 350 or so types of dogs found today as they brought forth after their kind after getting off the ark. (Genesis 7:14-15). Some researchers estimate there were about 7,000 creatures aboard the ark, with the average size being equal to the size of a house cat.

Based on God’s Word. my understanding is that the pre-flood world had a great underground watering system (Genesis 2:6) and rain was not needed until after the flood (Genesis 2:5). Still, the Bible doesn’t specifically say.

There are no contradictions in the Bible, just areas where fallible man has misinterpreted what has been given to us in God’s Word. For example, take Genesis’ creation accounts. In Genesis 1 we’re told trees, birds and animals are made prior to Adam and that the birds were created from water. Then, in Genesis 2, we’re told trees, animals and birds (from dirt) were made after Adam. Any apparent contradiction disappears once we understand that the Genesis 2 account is likely discussing the creation of things in the Garden of Eden so Adam could name them and select a “help meet”.

It would be a difficult choice. For example, every scientific experiment ever performed pertaining to reproduction show that a kind of plant or animal will only bring forth offspring after its own kind – just as we are told ten times in the book of Genesis.

However, I might opt to use the earth’s strata layers which are primarily sedimentary layers which were laid down by water, with some volcanic layers mixed in. And each layer contains Carbon 14 which decays away in a few thousand years – great proof of a global flood sometime in the past few thousand years (destroying old-earth beliefs).

Or, I might choose to go with logic which holds that the Cause of the universe had to have existed outside of the universe’s space, matter and time…only fitting the biblical God.

It would be difficult to limit myself to just one choice.

With the religious philosophy of “millions of years leading to Darwinian evolutionism” dominating our school systems, I don’t see the separation, unless this only refers to Christianity.

More importantly, nowhere in the U.S. Constitution is the phrase mentioned. It came from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to a pastor. The First Amendment begins “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” The wording prohibits the establishment of a Federal Government religion and leaves religious activities to the discretion of the people of each state to decide upon. This was meant to protect religious activities, NOT to undermine The USA’s Christian based freedoms (we are endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights).

James Madison is considered author of the First Amendment’s Religion Clause. As America’s fourth president, he attended church services held in the U.S. Capitol building and promoted hiring pastors for both the House and the Senate. Thomas Jefferson, America’s third president, attended church services in the Capitol building and in the Supreme Court building. He wrote the educational plan for D.C. schools and used the King James Bible as the primary reading book.

NO! The Supreme Court banned the use of the Bible to lead kids to Jesus. They did not throw the Bible out of school. The court has ruled repeatedly, “Teachers already possess the flexibility to present a variety of theories about the origin of humankind..and are free to present any and all facets of this sub­ject”. (Edwards vs. Aguiiliard 482 U.S. 96 pages 8-9, 1987)

Named after the Greek goddess of earth, this belief holds earth is a living organism. New Agers and radical environmentalists love their “Mother Earth”.

Let’s look at this from three angles: Taxpayer, student; and group.

1. As a taxpayer you have the right to influence the schools your money pays for. Pray for teachers, administrators, schools, publishers, etc. Get as many people as you can to watch (and learn) Creation Science DVDs (churches, youth groups, school boards, bible studies, women’s or men’s groups, home school groups, boy or girl scouts, 4H groups, PTO, anyone).
2. Attend school board meetings. You could: provide Creation Science material to School Board members; run for the school board or serve on their textbook selection committee; let the publishers of the textbooks know what you think of their product. Most states have laws which require textbooks to be accurate. See that this is adhered to and ask that either the false “proofs” for Darwinism be removed or that a warning sticker be placed on the front cover of books that contain refuted Secular teachings.
3. You could: inform teachers of their right to teach Creation; give teachers Creation Science materials and ask them to provide equal time for the teaching of these resources, or that they have students write papers about why Darwinism is a religious philosophy as opposed to science. You could let newspaper and magazine editors, TV sponsors, radio sponsors, teachers and principals, etc., know your thoughts about this subject.
4. Students can get people (friends, youth groups, boy/girl scouts, 4H clubs, anyone). to watch a Creation Science DVDs. You can begin a group. Groups start with one person.
5. Always keep in mind that 30-35% of teachers already believe in a young earth Creation even though ‘millions of years leading to Darwinism’ has been officially taught since 1963. So, set a good example of a person who believes they have a Creator to answer to. Pray for your teachers, school administrators and schools. Do not confront your teacher in front of others. Instead, talk with your teacher in private. Offer them Creation Science materials to review. Then ask them to provide equal time for teaching Creation in class. Most are not aware that they can legally teach Creation in their classroom.
6. Groups could ask school boards and administrators that: Darwinian evolutionism be branded as a religious philosophy; religion be removed from public schools; science be restricted to observable and testable data; micro adaptation and macro evolution be clearly defined; evidence which refutes Darwinism be presented to students; evidence that refutes old earth dating methods be presented to students; evidence which supports a young universe be presented to students; evidence which supports Creation be presented to students; teachers who present these facts will not be punished. Use your imagination!

Email number 1 of 2 from “Jim”: I can’t believe some of the claims you make in the videos on your website. I doubt that you’re even human because a chimpanzee could make better conclusions. You BLATANTLY SPEW GARBAGE FROM YOUR MOUTH and I can’t help but be horribly enraged by the things you say. The Bible does NOT need to be taken literally. Its not right for you to tell people you’re horribly uneducated opinion. It would be kind of me to lay out all of your mistakes but I don’t have a lifetime to spend correcting your mistakes. I was watching your video just to see what kind of ridiculous things you said. You are COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY WRONG. WOW!

My response, number 1 of 2: Speaking of “horribly uneducated opinions”, thanks for your email. I do not normally respond to a person who fails to identify him or herself, but your email was so full of hate that I decided to point out that you point out ZERO mistakes or non-truths. I say you have none. I’ve spoken in college debates and on college campuses many times. If you know of a mistake, please advise. Russ

Second Emails (blended together):

Jim- My names Jim. I’m a Physics Major. I don’t feel there was any hate in my email.

R- We’ll let the first email go.

J- Honestly, I can’t point out specific errors with any contradictory proof

R- I knew that, just wanted you to see it.

J- I can say I think to say every animal evolved from what noah had on the ark is ridiculous.

R- It is much more viable to think animals adapted from other animals on the ark than to claim they evolved from non-living chemicals as Darwinism teaches.

J- I can ask you why dinosaurs aren’t here today.

R- Most couldn’t survive the post-flood loss of climate and habitat. The word dinosaur was invented in 1841, prior to that they were called dragons. Recent finds of their bones containing soft , amino acids, DNA and blood cells attest to the fact they haven’t been gone long.

J- I can ask where all the water came from that covered the earth.

R- From the fountains of the deep which erupted.

J- You seem to think that the entire earth flooded.

R- Geologic compression events, polystrata fossils, (see C-14 evidence below) and much more attest to this fact.

J- There’s not enough water to flood the entire earth.

R- 71% of the earth’s surface is covered by water. If the surface of the earth were flat the water would be almost 2 miles deep. Plenty of water.

J- Darwin OBSERVED natural selection and adaption,(a completely fair concept)

R- And Biblically sound as kinds bring forth after their kind.

J- and THEORIZED natural selection as a method of macro evolution.

R- This is where he went wrong. A key issue is where did the genetic information come from to cause any changes? Macro has never been observed (one kind changing into a different kind) as Gene Depletion, the Law of Entropy, etc., show macro is impossible. Natural selection can only act on pre-existing traits. And no, not by mutations, as falsely taught today (Neo-Darwinism). Mutations are caused by the loss of data, never by the creation of new and beneficial data.

J- If the world was 6000-8000 years old, I would disagree with darwin. If it was a billion years old, I would say his theory is likely.

R- Thus the importance of the global flood which destroys all old earth beliefs.

J- How do you account for scientific aging methods like carbon dating.

R- Measurable C-14 should be gone in less than 100,000 years (most scientists agree). Yet all the fossil bearing layers, down to the supposed 600 million year old Cambrian have C-14 in them, and in the same range of amounts! This proves the layers formed recently and in the same event. Only a global flood can explain this, destroying all old earth beliefs.

J- Thank you for reading this.

R- Jim, thanks for your interest. These are excellent questions. Millions of people, including many in churches, have the same questions and this is the reason for CESM. Our seminars answer each of these questions in more detail Hang in there and seek the Truth. I will pray that God will show it to you. God bless, Russ

NOTE: Try not to let them get you mad. I find that sticking to scientific facts with non-believers, while focusing on God’s Word with Biblio-skeptics within the Church, is the best course of action. So keep your composure, the Truth is on your side!
