In 2002 Scientific American published a lengthy article challenging numerous, supposedly ‘popular’ creationist arguments.
But how well do the responses stand up to scrutiny?
Science
Using science to defend the claims of the Bible, especially those relating to its historical claims, such as the global catastrophic flood during the time of Noah.
We can use science to provide supporting evidence for the historical narrative of Genesis.
Everything from creation to the establishment of the Jewish settlement, and more.
Why Atheism Fails
What is atheism?
If you ask an atheist this question most often they will carefully explain to you that atheism is ‘a lack of belief in God’.
They’re very sensitive about this.
A lack of belief is not the same thing as non-belief. To claim God ‘does not exist’ is an absolute statement, and one which is virtually impossible to prove deductively.
So the atheist will simply say they ‘lack belief’ and will say this is mostly because of a ‘lack of sufficient evidence’ (agnosticism).
Some atheists are happy to flat-out deny the existence of God and explicitly deny He exists, but most do not.
In practise however, virtually all atheists live life as if God does not exist and harbour a characteristic antagonism towards religious belief.
Atheism and science: 10 unscientific ideas atheists believe
Atheists don’t have blind faith, this is just for silly fundamentalist Christians and creationists. Atheism and science go hand in hand.
Or so they would like you to think.
The truth is atheists claim to believe in science, but they actually believe…
An Introduction to Creationism
What Is Creationism?
Creationism or, Biblical Creationism, states that God created the world from nothing in six days as stated in Genesis chapter 1.
According to Christians the Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God, the one and only God who exists outside of time (because He created time).
Of course it’s no secret that within Christianity there are many different interpretations of the Bible and what it says.
But in general if you’re a Christian then, hopefully, you believe the Bible is true.
That means the whole Bible, including the very first part. This should not really be a particularly controversial thing right?
What’s wrong with Christians believing in their own Bible?
5 Powerful Reasons To Believe In The Christian God

‘Thinking Atheist’ Top Ten Creationist Arguments Debunked… Debunked
In 2009 YouTube channel ‘The thinking atheist’ published a video titled:
“Top Ten Creationist Arguments”
In the video with the generic ‘mr clever scientist’ voiceover, they go through ten arguments commonly used by creationists and offer a short response to each about why they are wrong and basically why Christians are silly people desperately clutching to a belief in the magical sky daddy.
A while back I published an article 10 signs you’re an unquestioning Christian (Debunked). I thought it was time I did some more house cleaning.
Creation and Conspiracy Theories: 8 ‘anti-science’ ideas and what Creationists think
The cover of the National Geographic magazine 2015 issue shown above describes some common anti-science conspiracy theories, but it also lumps creationism in too.
Creationism often gets lumped in with many anti-science conspiracy theories. But is that really fair?
Here I compare 8 conspiracy theories with creationism and see how closely they really stack up.
Ten Signs Debunked
This post is debunking a very popular, and old, meme that has been circulating the internet for a long time and is titled “ten signs you are an unquestioning Christian”.
There’s a lot of misinformation out there about Christianity and Creation. Actually there’s a lot of misinformation out there about everything.
I can’t remember how I came across this anonymous placard. I just know that I’ve held onto it for years. I figured that one day if I happen to do something like say, start a blog, I would go through it point by point and explain why it was hogwash.
So that’s what I’ve done.
