A Young Earth Establishes God’s Flood and His Coming Fire
May 14
Insisting that the earth and the universe are young, only 6,000 years old or so, does not make the biblical view popular in today’s enlightened “scientific” culture. It would be so easy just to go along with the view believed and followed by the overwhelming majority of scientists—and taught in nearly all universities and museums around the world—that the universe is 13–14 billion years old and the earth 4.5 billion years old.

“And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea. And the third part of the sea became blood. And the third part of the creatures in the sea, those having souls, died; and the third part of the ships was destroyed.” Revelation 8:8-9 MOSCOW, March 18 (RIA Novosti) - A newly discovered asteroid will fly past Earth on Wednesday at little more than twice the altitude of a geosynchronous telecom satellite, the Spaceweather prediction center reported on its website.
Were Dinosaurs on Noah’s Ark?
Jan 31
The story we have all heard from movies, television, newspapers, and most magazines and textbooks is that dinosaurs “ruled the Earth” for 140 million years, died out 65 million years ago, and therefore weren’t around when Noah and company set sail on the Ark around 4,300 years ago. However, the Bible gives a completely different view of Earth (and therefore, dinosaur) history. As God’s written Word to us, we can trust it to tell the truth about the past. (For more information about the reliability of Scripture, see Get Answers: Bible.) Although the Bible does not tell us exactly how long ago it was that God made the world and its creatures, we can make a good estimate of the age of the universe by carefully studying the whole counsel of Scripture: God made everything in six days, and rested on the seventh. (By the way, this is the basis for our seven day week—Exodus 20:8–11). Leading Hebrew scholars indicate that, based on the grammatical structure of Genesis 1, these “days” were of normal length, and did not represent long periods of time (see Get Answers: Genesis). We are told God created the first man and woman—Adam and Eve—on Day 6, along with the land animals (which would have included dinosaurs). The Bible records the genealogies from Adam to Christ. From the ages given in these lists (and accepting that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to Earth around 2,000 years ago), we can conclude that the universe is only a few thousand years old (perhaps just 6,000), and not millions of years old (see also Did Jesus Say He Created in Six Literal Days?). Thus, dinosaurs lived within the past few thousand years.
5 things you didn’t know about the “Great Depression”
Oct 23
"Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life." I Timothy 6:17-19 Accepting his party’s nomination for the presidency in 1928, Herbert Hoover said, “We in America today are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of any land. The poorhouse is vanishing from among us.” In August of 2007, as concerns over the unfolding subprime mortgage crisis were causing drops in the Dow and NASDAQ, President Bush called the American economy “the envy of the world,” noting that its fundamentals were “strong... Job creation is strong. Real after-tax wages are on the rise. Inflation is low." In short, economic crises rarely showcase the honesty of public officials; their statements tend to be both reassuringly optimistic and notoriously undependable. In light of the current global economic crisis, we thought we’d take a look back at the first truly global crisis with 5 things you didn’t know about the Great Depression.
