• Scientists are either naturalists or Bible-believers. A scientific fact such as a fossil can be observed by human beings depending on their belief systems. A Bible-believing individual will interpret this fossil as being about 4,000 years old. But an evolutionist will tell you that this same fossil is hundreds of millions of years old. So we have to beware of who is giving us the interpretations, what is their underlying belief system, and what are the actual facts. Christians are called to take every thought captive to the obedience of Jesus Christ. We cannot have a biblical world view if we do not have some idea how all this fits in with natural history as it is given to us in God's Word.[5]

• Creation Science is the practice of science with the assumption and acknowledgment that there is a creator God. The current, prevailing assumption in much of the scientific community is Naturalism - the belief that life and the formation of galaxies are the result of random, chaotic events. Although both systems agree on the basic facts, the dispute lies in the interpretation of those facts. Since no scientist was present to observe either the creation of any star or any species, and since no one can replicate the conditions when life or planets began, reputable investigators are left to interpret the data.[34]

• Creationism is not opposed to legitimate scientific inquiry! The Biblical mandate to "subdue" the earth (Genesis 1:28) requires Creationists to understand the physical processes at work in the universe - the general purpose of science.[34]

• Extensive list of modern and classical creation scientists with biographies.

• In describing the radiant beauty, the harmony and the awesome structure of the universe Albert Einstein sometimes utilized the term "God" to depict a Divine Reason, Spirit, or Intelligence: a God who was identified with the universe and its laws taken together. He stated: ". . . [E]veryone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe - a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble." [As quoted in Dukas, Helen and Banesh Hoffman. (1979). Albert Einstein - The Human Side. Princeton University Press.][84]

• Australian astrophysicist Paul Davies says, "The equations of physics have in them incredible simplicity, elegance and beauty. That in itself is sufficient to prove to me that there must be a God who is responsible for these laws and responsible for the universe."[21]

• The fifty-year head of a university science department in San Diego accepted Christ through the faithful witness of his wife and family. Several months after his conversion, this longtime Ph.D. exclaimed, "I can hardly believe I could be so dumb for so long! I thought I knew something before I was converted, but the greatest period of learning in my life has taken place these past few months."[80]

• Dr. Jobe Martin, who for the past 20 years, has been exploring evolution vs. creation. His findings have been fascinating students around the world as he lectures on remarkable animal designs that cannot be explained by traditional evolution. Dr. Martin himself was a traditional evolutionist, but his medical and scientific training would go through an evolution — rather a revolution — hen he began to study animals that challenged the scientific assumptions of his education. This was the beginning of the evolution of a creationist.[77]

• Walter L. Bradley, Distinguished Professor of Engineering at Baylor University, says, "It is quite easy to understand why so many scientists have changed their minds in the past 30 years, agreeing that it takes a great deal of faith to believe the universe can be explained as nothing more than a fortuitous cosmic accident. Evidence for an intelligent designer becomes more compelling the more we understand about our carefully crafted habitat."[21]

• Russell Arndts earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Louisiana State University in 1968, and returned to St. Cloud State University to teach Chemistry. He was promoted to Full Professor in 1970. In 1975 he was challenged to look at the theory of evolution by a group of Inter-Varsity students. He was surprised at the weakness of the evolutionary theory and soon learned that the weakness is in the logic system being used to "prove" evolution. In 1983 he was a featured speaker at the 1983 National Creation Conference held in the Twin Cities (Minnesota).[77]

• Phillip Johnson of the University of California, Berkeley has built an intellectual movement in universities and churches called "The Wedge," which is devoted to scholarship and writing that furthers the questioning the materialistic basis of science. One very famous book that's come out of The Wedge is biochemist Michael Behe's Darwin's Black Box, which has had an enormous impact on the scientific world. They have other books coming out from major universities that are doing this and getting a foothold in the academic world.[39]

• Henry Margenau — former president of the American Association for the Philosophy of Science, a physics professor at Yale University and former editor of Reviews of Modern Physics (Margenau got his start in physics at the University of Nebraska) stated: "It is often said, and widely believed, that scientists on the whole are anti-religious or, at least, are not interested in religion. I believed that for a long time too. But no longer. . . . as I perceive it, the fact is, the scientists, the physicists at least, who have been most active, most successful in developing the quantum theory and further innovations in physics, are very interested in religion. If you consider scientists of the type of high school teachers or grade school teachers or Carl Sagan, you find that, yes, there is a lack of interest. Quite a few of them are anti-religious. But, if you take the outstanding physicists, the ones who have done the most to advance modern physics, especially Heisenberg, Schrödinger, Dirac, you will find them all interested in religion. All these men were intensely interested in religion." [83]

• Science historian Frederic B. Burnham observed that scientists consider the idea that God created the universe, "a more respectable hypothesis today than at any time in the last hundred years." [51]

• Sir John Eccles, Nobel prize winning neuro-biologist and author of several noted books in the body-mind problem said, "We come to exist through a divine act. That divine guidance is a theme throughout our life; at our death the brain goes, but that divine guidance and love continues. Each of us is a unique, conscious being, a divine creation. It is the religious view. It is the only view consistent with all the evidence." ["The Intellectuals Speak Out About God", p. 50].[83]

• Creation science believes:

• God created everything perfectly around 6,000 years ago.[5]

• The "days of creation" referred to in II Peter and in Psalms were literal and did not span eons of time. The Hebrew word for day, yom, can mean a long period of time. However, if it's qualified in the Hebrew with an ordinal number-first, second, third, fourth, fifth-it always means a regular day. In Genesis 1, the evening and the morning are the first day. The evening and the morning are the second day. In the Hebrew it was qualified every time. A Hebrew scholar will tell you that it really means "days."[5]

• To clarify it further God said, "The evening and the morning of. . . " The first usage of the word "day" in the Bible is in Genesis 1:5. "God knew we would need help, so He defined the word for us. He says that it is the period of light and if this is millions of years, then the nights were really mean, weren't they? That would have been a long time. In Exodus 20:11, God tells us He created it all in six days and He rested on the seventh. We're told once again that the creation week was six days. God really did create in six days. He rested on the seventh and if we take the whole counsel of the Word of God, we see this to be the case. Not only that, in the Hebrew, the word for "days" always means regular days-not long periods of time."[5]

• When man sinned, death entered creation and then things started to run down.[5]

• About 1,650 years later, humanity became so decadent that God decided to wipe the world clean with the great Flood. To preserve a remnant of mankind and the animal kingdom, He told Noah to build an ark 45 by 75 by 450 feet long. It contained a million and a half cubic feet of space, enough room to carry 522 standard size railroad boxcars. There was plenty of room for the animals - and Noah didn't have to take the water creatures. Also, only the animals God wanted to get on the ark entered it. The Bible very clearly tells us in Genesis 7 that they came to Noah because God sent them.[5]

• Skeptics say, "If you rained all the water out of the atmosphere, it would only give you two inches all over the earth, so how do you explain the water?" If you pushed down the mountains and you pushed up the valleys in the ocean floors and made it all one level, we'd all be under a mile of water. So where's all the water from the Flood? It's in the ocean. Seventy-two percent of the earth's surface is still covered in water.[5]

• Pre-Flood, there was only one large land mass. (Even secular science agrees that there was once one super continent they call "Pangea.") Genesis 1:9 states that God called the waters to be gathered together in one place and to let the dry land appear. If He gathered the waters together in one place, then the land was in the other place - one large land mass.[5]

• When God opened the great fountains of the deep to start the Flood, the earth was cracked open like a large egg. The water that spewed out was hot because the rock underneath it is molten. What went up had to come back down. It's very easy to explain the forty days and forty nights of the special rain because these waters prevailed for 150 days. Before the waters receded, this crack moved around planet earth, breaking the continents into pieces and shoving them apart. This event didn't trail off slowly. It was catastrophically being thrown across the planet. Remember, earth was experiencing God's judgment.[5]

• This catastrophe would have been accompanied by under-ocean earthquakes that generated tsunamis or tidal waves. The land masses were bombarded by these ten-story tidal waves moving at five to six hundred miles per hour. That, coupled with the rain literally erased everything in the pre-Flood world, including the Garden of Eden.[5]

• Evidence that the Flood did cover the entire planet is that there are marine fossils found at the summit of Mt. McKinley in Alaska. They've also found marine fossils at the summit of Mt. Everest leading to the conclusion that the mountains were pushed up at the end of the Flood.[5]

• The fossils and the rock layers were laid down during the flood.[5]

• Secular history starts less than 5,000 years ago. All 272 ancient cultures remember the Great Flood.[5]

• The Ice Age was probably caused by the Great Flood. During the Ice Age, glaciation spread inland as far as Kansas and Germany and France, but the Arctic Ocean was ice-free. When God opened the great fountains of the deep, it not only put hot water into the earth's oceans, but also released volumes of volcanic ash. That ash thrown into the air caused the sun's warmth to be shot back out into outer space, lowering earth's temperature. Creation science has the best scientific explanation of the Ice Age. The evolutionists do not have one for how it occurred.[5]

• At the peak of the Ice Age, maybe 200 years after the Great Flood, when so much water was caught up in glaciers, the sea level was down by over 300 feet from what it is today, exposing the continental shelves. People could just walk across these. Great migrations of people were possible during this time.[5]

• The land God took Abraham to was not a desert then. There's scientific evidence that the Sahara Desert used to be lush and tropical.[5]

• The Ice Age is estimated to have ended 700 years later. This is based on the idea that when the earth's oceans finally cooled to the current temperature they are today, 4 degrees Celsius, the Arctic cap would have been able to form, the weather patterns would have shifted back to what they are today, and the Ice Age would have ended — around the time of Joseph in Egypt.[5]

• Scientific allusions in scripture.

• What you think about where you came from determines what you think about where you're going. If we come from Adam and Eve, and God created us, then God is allowed to set the rules. But if we come from apes, we can set our own rules.[5]

• Christianity has fought, still fights, and will fight naturalism to the desperate end over evolution because evolution destroys utterly and finally the very reason Jesus' earthly life was supposedly made necessary. Destroy Adam and Eve and the Original Sin, and in the rubble you will find the sorry remains of the Son of God.[5]

• If Jesus was not the Redeemer who died for our sins-and that is what evolution means - then Christianity is nothing. It is literally the Foundation upon which the Gospel rests. Science supports the Bible just the way it's written.[5]
