Genesis teaches that God pronounced the first two created people very good when He created them at the very beginning. “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.’ So God created man in His own image, in the image of... Continue reading

Biblical Creation holds that God created a perfect initial world with no death, no carnivory, and no “survival of the fittest.”[i] Further, animals were created to reproduce—just as we observe today—after their “own kind.” Creationists also believe that this perfect world held out until it...

Some Christians believe the earth is 4.5 billion years old and that the Flood described in the book of Genesis (chapters 6–9) was a local event limited to the area where Noah lived, for example the Mesopotamian Valley region. Why? Primarily because of their perspectives... Continue reading

Bible-believing geologists typically hold the view that most mountain ranges were “pushed up” during the final stages of the Flood (see Genesis 8-9 and Psalm 104). This means that the Flood did not need to cover today’s tall peaks. Currently the total volume of water... Continue reading

Was Noah’s Ark Seaworthy? Let’s investigate whether the Ark was seaworthy. God gave certain dimensions to Noah for building the Ark: 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high. Using the Nippur Cubit[i] at 20.4 inches, this works out to a vessel about... Continue reading

Two factors help answer this question: (1) the size of the Ark, and (2) the number (and size) of the animals and supplies on board. First, the size. The Ark was huge. The Bible gives us the dimensions of the Ark: 300 x 50 x... Continue reading

In 1994 six PhD scientists published a research paper that radically upgraded our understanding of Noah’s Flood. The paper, “Catastrophic Plate Tectonics: A Global Flood Model of Earth History,”[i] provided ground-breaking, empirically-validated explanations for the mechanisms involved in the Flood. It showed the physics behind... Continue reading

Yes—giants existed—and it wasn’t just Goliath. Developing a well-rounded view about giants from the Bible requires studying the entire set (and not just a few) of the following Biblical passages: Genesis 6:4, 14:5; Numbers 13:28–33; Deuteronomy 1:28–3:11, 9:2; Joshua 11:21, 13:12, 14:12–15, 15:8–14, 17:15, 18:16;...
