The Center for Scientific Creation and the Creation Science Hall of Fame separately announced today that an astronomical date for the Global Flood is now available. Continue reading

CSHOF gains 501(c)(3) status
As of today, and retroactive to our incorporation in the State of New Jersey, the Creation Science Hall of Fame (CSHOF) is now a 501(c)(3) public charity. Continue reading
Carbon dating: believer’s true friend
avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. [1 Timothy 6:20-21]
God’s Word tells us to avoid false knowledge, false science. As I often say, real science is a Believer’s true friend, but we must be wise and discern between true science and false knowledge masquerading as science. carbon dating is a prize example. Continue reading
Censorship: key to sustain evolution
Tina Dupuy recently called on government, or maybe voters (she never made clear), to “save our schools from Creationism.” I’m sure Ms. Dupuy believes her argument is based on logic and credibility. It is not. She has been fooled by censorship masquerading itself as science. Continue reading
Genesis 1-11: a scientific apologetic
For centuries, beginning with Leonardo da Vinci, scientists accepted the account in Genesis chapters 1-11 as almost self-evident. As a result, they made few efforts to validate it. (Athanasius Kircher, who wrote a scholarly treatment of the voyage of Noah’s Ark, was one notable exception.) As a further result, those who doubted the Genesis account could easily persuade people not to believe it. But since 1960, many creation scientists have sought to show not only that those eleven chapters of Genesis happened as Moses wrote them down, but how they might have happened. Today, a careful scholar can read those chapters and imagine at least one, and often several, ways their story might have played out. Continue reading
Why is there a nail in HaShem?
‘Ha Shem’ (translation: ‘The NAME’) is one way the Jewish culture avoids speaking God’s NAME ‘YAHWEH’. Another way of avoiding pronouncing HaShem would be to spell His NAME ‘Yud-Hey-Vav-Hay’ instead of saying ‘YAHVEH’. [It’s pronounced ‘YAHVEH’ in modern Sephardic Israeli Hebrew. ‘YAHWEH’ is the ancient Yemenite accent, and some of the folklore of Yemen says that Shem migrated there after Noah died and founded 2 of their ancient inland cities, so it may very well be closer to the original pronunciation.] Another trick is to change the ‘Y’ to a ‘J’ and that is one of the reasons why in English Bibles (like the KJV) ‘YAHWEH’ is pronounced as ‘Jehovah’; however, there’s no ‘j’ sound in the Ancient Hebrew alphabet! [And most of us address Him as ‘Adoni’/‘LORD’ instead of His NAME out of utmost respect for Who He is!] All this ‘carefulness’ in the Jewish culture is for the sole purpose of not blaspheming HaShem! However, I’m not convinced that that is what The Creator of the Heavens and the Earth had in mind when He commanded us not to blaspheme His NAME. (I’ll explain more later…) Continue reading
Life before Earth – or with it
Recently two scientists showed an amazing mathematical chimera: life before earth. They think they showed that life began 9.7 billion years ago – four billion years after the universe began. They really showed that life could not have come from non-life. At least, not on earth. In the process they made the creation story far more likely than they might care to admit. Continue reading
360 day year: no coincidence
The most ancient calendars all assumed a 360 day year. But why, when astronomers have long known that a year is about 365.24 days? Because the earth once had a 360 day year, and something changed. The ancients remembered the 360 day year. But they forgot how the year changed, or even that it changed, for centuries after the event. Continue reading
Without Darwin, wither faith?
Three days ago, Michael Flannery at Evolution News and Views suggested that without Darwin, the worlds of science and faith would look vastly different today. He is correct as far as he goes. But the world without Darwin would not necessarily lack its strife and its sins. It would also have a complacency the world with Darwin now lacks. Continue reading
Asteroid games
Why is the federal government planning to bring an asteroid into orbit around the Moon? Even in “flush times” that would be a bad investment. It’s a worse investment with the country, and the world, in debt already almost non-repay-able. Especially when the world faces a natural disaster closer to home. Continue reading
