Can Order Exist Without Design?

Can Order Exist Without Design?

Comments 0 Comment
Universe

Skeptics, critics, and atheists insist that order can exist without design. Can there be order without design?

The Bible, however, raises a logical question, and then provides a brief, but profound, answer:

“Look up at the sky! Who created the stars you see? The one who leads them out like an army, he knows how many there are and calls each one by name! His power is so great–not one of them is ever missing!”—Isaiah 40:26 Good News Translation

However, skeptics, critics, and atheists say: “Believers in God are confusing design and order, which are not the same thing. If there is design, then there is order, but if there is order, there is not necessarily design. For example, there is order in the way the planets orbit the Sun, but there is no good evidence that anybody designed it that way. And there is evidence that this order is just part of the inherent fabric of the universe. Gravity is a fact.” read more

Was Jesus created? – No. not according many Bible scholars, preachers, creeds, and Christian denominations, who say Jesus has existed from eternity. Notice:

“The Son uncreated . . . the Son eternal”—Athanasian Creed

“Within the one Being that is God, there exists three eternally . . . coeternal persons”—The Forgotten Trinity, by James White, p 23

Since this is the case, why is there even any question about whether or not Jesus was created? — The reason why is because of what the Bible has to say. read more

Why Have Alligators Not Evolved?

Why Have Alligators Not Evolved?

The head of an alligator submerged in water and surrounded by aquatic plants (Credit: Alamy) Many alligators live in the Florida Everglades.   All living things are claimed to have originally developed from non-living matter, and then gradually and continually undergo Darwinian evolution over millions of years of time.    “By around 8 million years ago, the modern alligator species began to emerge. These creatures were smaller and more adapted to their swampy habitats.” (Evolution of Modern Alligators). This is the standard teaching of mainstream science today. But what are the actual facts?   “The fossil record does support the evolution of reptiles, although it may not provide a complete and unbroken chain of transitional fossils for all reptile lineages.”—AI search   The Bible reports that, “God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moved about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind, and God saw that it was good” (Genesis 1:21 NIV). God created all the creatures that make their home in the water, “according to their kinds”, that is, there are barriers as reproduction, or cross-breeding. 

“Alligators are often called “living fossils”, relatively untouched by major evolutionary changes for at least eight million years, with remarkably similar ancestors already hunting swamps alongside the dinosaurs. Yet, beginning in the 1850s, the arrival of rifle-wielding European settlers into the wetlands of Florida and Louisiana drove this evolutionary line to the verge of extinction.”-—How Alligators Are Breathing Life Into Florida’s Everglades, BBC Earth, April 19, 2025 read more

Did The Brain Evolve, or Was It Created?

Did The Brain Evolve, or Was It Created?

Did the brain evolve, or was it created? 

“The human brain is staggeringly complex and the product of millions of years of evolution”—YourGenome.org

“We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV). The ability to develop thoughts and learn has to have come from God. The brain, where thoughts are developed, is far too complex to have evolved without design. Recent discoveries continue to give evidence of this.  

“Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections.
A neuron extends an axon to make contact with other neurons. A team of more than 100 scientists recorded the cellular activity and mapped the structure in a cubic millimeter of a mouse’s brain. read more

Is Jesus A Creature Who Has God Over Him?

The Trinity doctrine says that Jesus, the Son of God, is not a creature, but is Almighty God himself. However, could it possibly be true that Jesus is a creature who has God over him? If Jesus is a creature with God over him, the Trinity doctrine is proven false. The following is a discussion with a Trinitarian about these and related issues. “T” stands for Trinitarian, and “BA” stands for us at this website.

BA—Since the Bible says he is “the firstborn of every creature” (Col 1:15 KJV), “whose origin is from of old, from ancient days” (Micah 5:2 NRSV).
T – The firstborn of every creature; not the first of the creation, or the first creature God made; for all things in Colossians 1:16 are said to be created by him, and therefore he himself can never be a creature. read more

Neanderthals Were Humans – Evolutionary Theory Disturbed

Neanderthals Were Humans – Evolutionary Theory Disturbed

Comments 0 Comment

Neanderthals have for some time been explained and drawn as subhumans, a “cave-man” type species, if you will. Those who believed what the Bible says, for example, “God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the same kind”, “God created human beings in his own image” (Genesis 1:25,27 NLT), have often been ridiculed by those who believed that humans evolved gradually from lower animals into humans. One of these lower creatures, it was asserted, was called Neanderthals. Recent discoveries, however, have forced evolutionists to revise their theory yet again, this time admitting that Neanderthals were near enough relatives to modern day humans that they interbred with humans to the point that the so-called Neanderthal species disappeared. read more

Expanding universe

Is the universe only six thousand years old?

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth”—Genesis 1:1

Modern astronomical science now agrees with the Bible that the universe had a beginning. Many people, including those who believe in Young Earth Creationism (YEC), think that the entire universe, including the earth, was created in six literal 24 hour days 6,000 years ago. This idea is in conflict with astronomical science, which has proven the universe is about 13.7 billion years old. Two lines of evidence for this are the number of light years away the farthest galaxies are from us, and the second is the Cosmic Background Radiation. Astronomers and scientists are forced to accept this fact, even though they are uncomfortable with the Biblical implications. read more

Does the Fitness of Light Give Evidence God Created Universe?

Does the Fitness of Light Give Evidence God Created Universe?

Comments 3 comments

Scientists have been forced by their own discoveries to admit that the universe had a beginning. Much has been discovered about the fitness of light. How might the fitness of light provide evidence that God created the universe?

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth….  Then God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light…. Then God said, ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night. They will serve as signs for festivals and for days and years. They will be lights in the expanse of the sky to provide light on the earth.’ And it was so. God made the two great lights—the greater light to have dominion over the day and the lesser light to have dominion over the night—as well as the stars.  God placed them in the expanse of the sky to provide light on the earth, to dominate the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.” (Genesis 1:1,3,14-18 CSB) read more

Real-life zombies that are stranger than fiction

Real-life zombies that are stranger than fiction

“Real-life zombies that are stranger than fiction” is the title of an article that was published by BBC News on March 13, 2017.

The article states that “some fungi, viruses and bacteria have evolved….”

They start from this position that they had to “evolve.” They could not have been “created.” That is not a possibility, they claim.

“Perhaps the most famous fungus, Ophiocordyceps unilateralis, prompts its hosts to end their days perched under a leaf. Those that have succumbed to Ophiocordyceps australis, meanwhile, will die in the forest litter below.”

“Fossils showing evidence of zombie ants… have been found dating back 48 million years.”

This goes back at least “48 million years.” Hmm… where is evolution? It is assumed to be a fact. But no evidence has come forth. If something has been going on for 48 million years, it sounds like they are reproducing “according to their kinds,” over and over, for many millions of years just like all other creatures do. (Genesis 1:11-12; Genesis 1:21; Genesis 1:24-25)

“It is not immediately apparent how a fungus has this surprisingly specific effect on an organism so much more complex than itself… have evolved to match the different lifecycles of whichever species of host and they take as their victim… a stunning example of coevolution.” No, not at all! This is rather “a stunning example” of “your works, Yahweh, all of them you made so wisely!” (Psalm 104:24 NJB)
