Noah's Ark Possibility Project (NAPP)
In September of 2015, this website launched the Noah's Ark Possibility Project (NAPP) with the stated purpose to investigate whether an ark as specified in Genesis 6:14-16 could possibly have had sufficient carrying capacity to save two of every kind of bird and land animal, both male and female. more

Are Special Creation and/or Evolution
Science?
To determine whether special creation and/or evolution meet the requirements of science, they need to be compared to an acceptable
definition of science. Two modern definitions of science from respected authorities are:
"any system of knowledge that is concerned with the physical world and its phenomena and that entails unbiased observations
and systematic experimentation." [4]
"knowledge about or study of
the natural world based on facts learned through experiments and observation." [5] The above definitions are slightly different but
essentially the same so either or both may be used to answer the question. more
The Cases for Evolution and Special Creation
Special
creation and evolution are in opposition: they both cannot be true. To prove one is to disprove the other. Evolutionists best hope
for proving their case has been the fossil record. However, after more than 150 years of intense searching, the fossil record does
not support the theory of evolution because each phylum (each major group of species having the same general form) appears suddenly;
the innumerable transitional forms required by evolutionary theory are not there.[6] more
Evolution: Falsified?
Revised 4/18/2022
Number
of examples refuting evolution continue to multiply
For an idea to be a valid scientific theory, it must have the capability
of being proven false. This concept is called falsifiability or refutability. Charles Darwin in Chapter 9 of “The Origin
of Species” proposed a test of his theory of evolution through natural selection when he stated:
“If it could be demonstrated that
any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would
absolutely break down.”
Considering the state of knowledge of the biological cell when Darwin wrote this, falsifying his theory probably seemed to him as highly unlikely. Darwin and the scientists of his day more
Intelligent Design
"The theory of intelligent design (ID) "holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause rather than an undirected process such as natural selection. ID is thus a scientific disagreement with the core claim of evolutionary theory that the apparent design of living systems is an illusion that can be adequately explained by only the natural sorting of random mutations.”[7] more
Origin of Life
In common usage, a miracle is often used to describe highly improbable events such as the “Miracle on the Hudson” when a commercial airliner safely ditched on the Hudson River and all 155 people onboard were saved, the “Miracle on Ice” when the 1980 US hockey team beat the Russians for the gold medal, survival against all odds in the wilderness, and winning the state lottery. The source of these kinds of miracles can be attributed to skill or chance or both. There is also the possibility that God intervened in some way. In cases of the sudden disappearance of cancer tumors without treatment, the disappearance may be attributed to unknown causes or an act of God. more
Carbon-14 versus the conventional geologic time scale
Carbon-14, a quantitatively rare and seemingly insignificant radioactive atom in nature, provides an important key to dating many historical events even the Genesis Flood. With the introduction of ultrasensitive AMS isotope testing in the 1980s, carbon-14 has revealed serious anomalies in the conventional geological time scale pointing to a much younger earth only thousands not millions or billions of years old. more
The White Cliffs of Dover
The White Cliffs of Dover facing the English Channel in Southeastern England are a part of a prominent chalk deposit. The cliffs rise to 350 feet and extend for 8 miles. The purity of the chalk creates a problem for conventional geologists. more
Dinosaur Extinction
When did dinosaurs become extinct? Sounds like a simple straight forwarded question, but today some believe that birds are descended from dinosaurs or that dinosaurs were types of birds. So based on these beliefs dinosaurs could still exist even though there is little to no clear, unambiguous evidence to support this bird theory. Also, today many old earth advocates claim that the last of all large dinosaur species went extinct during a Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) extinction event about 65 million years ago (Ma). Although few would question whether large terrestrial dinosaurs such as T-Rex are extinct, this 65 Ma estimate is not based on verifiable scientific evidence but an unproven set of assumptions. Good science is based on evidence not assumptions. more

Horse Evolution
Horses are popular animals that evolutionists have chosen to use to validate evolutionary theory and indoctrinate others to the idea of macroevolution. Propaganda for horse evolution and thereby macroevolution is found in scientific journals, textbooks, books, magazines, encyclopedias, museums and television so there is no need to repeat it here. Instead, this article will discuss the assumptions (guesses) that horse evolution is based on, information that goes against these assumptions and other plausible explanations for the horse like fossils. more
Flight Feathers
How flight feathers evolved has long been a problem for evolutionists. The current popular theory is that feathers evolved from a theropod dinosaur or “a shared common ancestor deeper in the past.” [8] This is often stated in the media, taught in schools, [9] and highlighted in museums but this theory has many problems. Today, only birds have feathers; however, thismay not have been the case in the past. more
How Mantises Defy Evolution
Mantises are insects that should give us pause. Well known for their raptorial forelegs that are often held in a praying posture and their camouflage, these predatory insects have some amazing characteristics.
When a mantis spots its prey, it only takes 50-70 milliseconds to strike with its forelegs. more
Origins and Life: Conclusions are Not Objective
How you look at origins and life is the result of the lenses you look through.
Through the biblical creation lenses you will see everything in the universe wonderfully and magnificently created by an infinitely intelligent, all powerful, all loving, transcendent, supernatural being for whom nothing is impossible. Everything was made good with purpose and responsible to its Creator. Limits were set. Due to mankind’s rebellion, the whole creation has been corrupted.
Through the atheistic lenses you will of necessity see the universe and everything in it as coming into existence through natural materialistic processes by chance only and therefore without purpose. There is no God. You are responsible to no one and can do what you want. There is nothing after this life.
There are other lenses such as theistic evolution that rejects God as revealed in the Bible and instead tries to integrate God with evolutionary thought. No matter what lenses you are looking through, your conclusions are the result of faith. This is inevitable.
