No one disputes Micro-Evolution, that is, small changes within ‘kinds’ (Genesis 1:11,12,21,24,25), such as varieties of dogs, cats, etc. It is Macro-Evolution, that is, wholesale changes of one species into an entirely new species, that is disputed. Since such an assertion has never been observed, Evolutionists claim that over very long periods of time, perhaps millions of years, such large changes have definitely taken place.
The Bible makes clear that “The Lord God Almighty . . . created all things” (Revelation 4:8,11). “How countless are your works, Yahweh, all of of them made so wisely!” (Psalm 104:24 NJB). Actual documented evidence proves that all creatures reproduce only “according to their kinds” (Genesis 1:21 ESV; NIV).read more
Many of the earth’s rivers have been modified by humans over the centuries. Now, humans are beginning to learn that “God knows best”, as the following BBC article illustrates, by giving just a few examples.
“Speak to the earth to instruct you, and to the fish of the sea to inform you. Which of these does not know that the hand of God has done this?”—Job 12:7,8 NAB
How restoring rivers’ natural curves can prevent flooding

The Brain Is Incredibly Complex–Evidence of a Creator!
“I will give thanks to you because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made. Your works are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of this”—Psalm 139:14 GWT
The brain is incredibly complex, far more complex than humans can understand at present, as the following BBC article gives evidence of. While modern science generally does not recognize or acknowledge a divine Creator, scientific evidence does give us more and more factual information to support what the Bible says about “the Lord God Almighty”, “who created all things” (Revelation 4:8,11).read more
The BBC article below asks if physics can prove that God exists. In this BBC article (reproduced below), notice in the paragraph above the photo under the subheading “The Multiverse,” the statement that “our universe seems fine-tuned for life to exist”. We naturally ask, “How could fine-tuning occur without a designer?” Could a fine-tuned machine exist without a designer? Obviously not. This secular article gives some evidence that physics proves God exists!read more
Researchers are doing commendable work to try to eliminate disease and cancer. The BBC article below is an example of how Darwinism is assumed to be true in this context. There are innumerable living things on earth, and new ones are being discovered all the time. As the Bible says, “O LORD, what a variety of things you have made! In wisdom you made them all. The earth is full of your creatures” (Psalm 104:24 NLT). Do living things gradually change from one species to another species over the course of millions of years, as Darwinism claims? Notice Merriam-Webster’s definition of Darwinism:read more

Our Introductory Comments
The BBC News article featured above (and below) focuses on clouds and new things scientists are learning about them. While clouds are common there is still a lot that humans don’t know. But, God fully understands them, because he created, and controls, them, as the book of Job illustrates with word pictures 3,500 years ago:
“He wraps up the waters in his clouds, yet the clouds do not burst under their weight”—Job 26:8 NIV
“The clouds pour down their moisture and abundant showers fall on mankind, Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds”—Job 36:28,29 NIVread more
Macro-Evolution Theory Upset by ‘Revived 46,000 Year Old Worm’
Macro-evolution theory is the gradual change from one species to another over that is asserted to take place long periods of time. But why does the the theory of Macro-evolution constantly get revised? Scientists report they have revived an ancient worm, and have discovered that, “some processes of evolution are deeply conserved,” as reported in a CNN ARTICLE, of July 28,2023. Here is the article:
“Scientists have revived a worm that was frozen 46,000 years ago — at a time when woolly mammoths, sabre-toothed tigers and giant elks still roamed the Earth.
The roundworm, of a previously unknown species, survived 40 meters (131.2 feet) below the surface in the Siberian permafrost in a dormant state known as cryptobiosis, according to Teymuras Kurzchalia, professor emeritus at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden and one of the scientists involved in the research.
Scientists have revived a ‘zombie’ virus that spent 48,500 years frozen in permafrost Organisms in a cryptobiotic state can endure the complete absence of water or oxygen and withstand high temperatures, as well as freezing or extremely salty conditions. They remain in a state “between death and life,” in which their metabolic rates decrease to an undetectable level, Kurzchalia explained.
“One can halt life and then start it from the beginning. This a major finding,” he said, adding that other organisms previously revived from this state had survived for decades rather than millennia.
Five years ago, scientists from the Institute of Physicochemical and Biological Problems in Soil Science in Russia found two roundworm species in the Siberian permafrost.
One of the researchers, Anastasia Shatilovich, revived two of the worms at the institute by simply rehydrating them with water, before taking around 100 worms to labs in Germany for further analysis, transporting them in her pocket.
After thawing the worms, the scientists used radiocarbon analysis of the plant material in the sample to establish that the deposits had not been thawed since between 45,839 and 47,769 years ago.
But still, they didn’t know whether the worm was a known species. Eventually, genetic analysis conducted by scientists in Dresden and Cologne showed that these worms belonged to a novel species, which researchers named Panagrolaimus kolymaenis.
Researchers also found that the P. kolymaenis shared with C. elegans — another organism often used in scientific studies — “a molecular toolkit” that could allow it to survive cryptobiosis. Both organisms produce a sugar called trehalose, possibly enabling them to endure freezing and dehydration.
Belching lakes, mystery craters, ‘zombie fires’: How the climate crisis is transforming the Arctic permafrost “To see that the same biochemical pathway is used in a species which is 200, 300 million years away, that’s really striking,” said Philipp Schiffer, research group leader of the Institute of Zoology at the University of Cologne and one of the scientists involved in the study. “It means that some processes in evolution are deeply conserved.”
And, Schiffer added, there are other actionable insights which can be gleaned by studying these organisms.
“By looking at and analyzing these animals, we can maybe inform conservation biology, or maybe even develop efforts to protect other species, or at least learn what to do to protect them in these extreme conditions that we have now,” he told CNN.”
In the CNN article above, “Philipp Schiffer, research group leader of the Institute of Zoology at the University of Cologne”, admits: “It means that some processes in evolution are deeply conserved.” This newly discovered and revived 46,000 year old worm is more evidence that the Darwinian theory of Macro-Evolution is deeply flawed, and does not fit the facts. This 46,000 year-old worm is much like worms in existence today, indicating that Darwinism, or Macro-Evolution, does not happen, and has never happened. read more
More Faith to Believe Universe ‘Just Happened’ Than God Created
It has well been said that, “it takes more faith to believe the universe ‘just happened,’ than to believe God created it.”
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”—Genesis 1:1
“In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth”, or “When God began to create the heavens and the earth”—Genesis 1:1 NLT margin
Our Milky Way Galaxy has at least 100 billion stars, possibly 200 to 400 billion or several trillion, and is spinning at the incredible speed of 490,000 miles per hour. But even at that super speed, it takes 200 million years to make just one rotation. If one could travel at the speed of light, it would take 100,000 years to cross it. The average distance between stars is estimated at about 36 trillion miles. There are estimated to be about two hundred billion total galaxies in the universe that are more or less similar to ours, some of which are much larger than the Milky Way galaxy.read more
The global flood, as described in the Bible book of Genesis, is considered to be a myth by many people and scholars today, but let’s look at how the Bible describes it
“When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the underground waters erupted from the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky. The rain continued to fall for forty days and forty nights”—Genesis 7:11,12 NLT
“Finally, the water covered the highest mountains on earth, rising more than twenty-two feet above the highest peaks. All the living things on earth died–birds, domestic animals, wild animals, small animals that scurry along the ground, and all the people”—Genesis 7:19-22 NLTread more
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE AUTHENTICATES THE BIBLE ON CIRCUMCISION
God’s people today, Christians, who are under the New Covenant, are not required to be circumcised..
“Neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means; what counts is the new creation”—Galatians 6:15 NIV
“Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts”—1 Corinthians 7:19 NIV
Today, it is fine if a male is circumcised, and it is also fine if they’re not circumcised. What is important is a person’s relationship with God through Christ.read more
