Evolution & Pop Culture -by David Rives
Everything from kids’ movies about the Ice Age, to Flintstones cartoons, to sci-fi movies have subtle (or not-so-subtle) messages of evolution or millions of years.
The Great Missoula Flood -by David Rives
Now, since the nineteenth century, uniformitarianism has dominated geology. This is the idea that present day processes and rates are the key to what happened in the past. But scientists are slowly having to let go of this idea, because they increasingly realize that catastrophes are a big part of Earth’s past. One such catastrophe was the Lake Missoula flood.
Could All Of The Animals Fit On Noah’s Ark? -by David Rives
Many skeptics of the Bible, and even fellow Christians, have wondered how Noah could’ve fit all the millions of modern animal species on the Ark.
Erasmus Darwin & The Evolution of Evolution -by David Rives
Erasmus, despite not being nearly as well-known as his grandson, was a successful physician, scientist, and inventor. Erasmus’ evolutionary, and basically atheistic, ideas later inspired Charles Darwin.

I Hate Bad Science -by David Rives
While there are many atheists who would attempt to convince you that I hate science, let me make it clear that I am not against science. What I dislike is bad science.
Evolution Is Dead! Take That, Nietzsche! -by David Rives
While God’s glory is being revealed through modern science, philosophers like Nietzsche, Hume, and Darwin are all…dead. With discoveries in contemporary science consistently pointing to the Creator of the Bible, there’s only one thing left to say: Evolution is dead!
Check out these incredible tiny homes the “Hummingbird Nest” -by David Rives
A lot of work goes into building a Hummingbird nest. These tiny homes are normally really hard to spot, because otherwise, predators might come and harm the young.
We can’t see the stars for the nebulae – it’s all just theoretical -by David Rives
The only examples of supposed star formation that you will observe are when cloudy (or nebulous) areas of space start to clear, and we spot a star for the first time. – We can’t see the stars for the nebulae.
Why we can’t marry close relatives (and the truth about human population) -by David Rives
There are many instances in early Biblical history of people marrying closely related family. Human population started out with two individuals just 6,000 years ago. Around 4,000 years ago, the population was reduced to just eight at the time of the worldwide Flood.
Are We Facing A Global Sodium Deficiency? -by David Rives
Do we have a global sodium deficiency? Using today’s uniformitarian rates of accumulation, the oceans reach their current salt level in just 42 million years. Now, let’s assume the oceans start out with zero salt. Using today’s uniformitarian rates of accumulation, the oceans reach their salt level in just 42 million years. So where’s the over 2.5 billion years of salt? It’s nowhere to be found!
The Wollemi Pine and the Coelacanth Fish – Two Living Fossil Examples -by David Rives
According to evolutionary ideas, organisms have evolved from a common ancestor over millions of years. As environments have changed, organisms have adapted and changed with them. So why do we find so many living creatures that look remarkably similar to creatures we find in the fossil record? – Living Fossils
Charles Lyell and the “evolution” of Evolution – by David Rives
Charles Lyell was a British lawyer and geologist who lived during the nineteenth century. He published a three-volume work called Principles of Geology, which promoted his ideas of an old earth, geologic ages, and uniformitarianism. This is the belief that the present is the key to the past. He believed that the slow and gradual processes we see today are the same processes that shaped our planet’s geology over millions of years.
Nature’s Sports Car -by David Rives
Cheetah’s always look like they’re crying but that dark tear mark, called a malar stripe, serves a useful purpose. It attracts sunlight.
Wonder of the Human Ear – How Do We Hear? -by David Rives
The intricate design of the human ear points towards the handiwork of our Creator – we’re fearfully and wonderfully made!
No Erosion Between Rock Layers! -by David Rives
If the old-age view is indeed a correct interpretation of the evidence, we’d expect to see weathering and erosion between rock layers. After all, if those rock layers are being deposited and exposed to the elements for hundreds of thousands or millions of years, you’d expect there to be evidence of it. But we don’t find this evidence.
I believe in the Flood…but why no human fossils? -by David Rives
Why don’t we see any human fossil remains from the flood? This is a question I get many times…The majority of human skeletons we find today are from after the flood,..
Bible Knows Best: Atoms, The Dust of the World? -by David Rives
We now know that everything tangible that we see around us is comprised of atoms. A system of electrons, protons, and neutrons. But it wasn’t until the 1980’s before we could actually create the technology to visualize the tiny atoms, and indeed, the chief dust of the Earth is pretty impressive.
Hummingbirds – God’s Tiny Wonder -by David Rives
Hummingbirds flap their wings up to 80 times per second. They are able to determine sugar content, and only consume nectar that is at least 10% sugar.
Catch a Falling Star: All About Meteors -by David Rives
Meteors may be at an altitude of over 65 miles when first spotted, and the bright glow is caused by the shock wave created when a meteoroid enters the atmosphere with such extreme speed. Many of these don’t survive the journey, and most burn up long before reaching the surface of Earth.
Sirius: The Dog Days of Summer -by David Rives
Sirius is thought to be 8.6 light years away…The rising of Sirius before dawn actually marked the beginning of the Egyptian New Year.
