Case-Making 101: Does the Old Testament really connect to the New Testament?
I have often heard skeptics of the Christian Bible say that the Old and New Testaments have no connection and that the God of the Old Testament is not the same as the God of the New Testament. Most skeptics have never really studied the Bible – I know cause I was one of them.… Continue Reading

Case-Making 101: Does Genesis answer the question of race and language origin?

Most debates on the age of the earth are usually centered around creation vs. evolution, but in reality they should center around the flood. Did the flood happen and if so was it local or global? Secular scientists argue from a “uniformitarian” point of view that sees the world steadily evolving from the beginning of… Continue Reading
Case-Making 101: How does Genesis help answer the question of evil?

Case-Making 101: Are humans made in the image of God or did we evolve from something else?

There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into… Continue Reading

There has been so much evidence presented over the last 20 years or so against Darwinian evolution as a means for the origin of complex life that even those in the science community who say they are not religious are standing up against it. However, most who are unwilling to accept the evidence are… Continue Reading
