Why 99% of PhDs Reject Creation

According to statistics 99% of PhDs reject creation and believe evolution. This video and the associated article attempt to examine the real reason why this is the case. The vast majority of people who have been through university believe in evolution, basically because that is what they have been taught. The vast majority of educational establishments teach evolution, not because they have looked at evidence and come to a logical conclusion, but rather because the system within society has constrained it to be so. This can be likened to the situation that would have existed prior to the Reformation, namely that most people would have believed in salvation by works, because this is what the system within that day dictated. Oh that we might experience something of a Second Reformation!

Evidence for a Worldwide Flood - How Robust?

In this video, Richard introduces his response to the book 'The Grand Canyon - Monument to an Ancient Earth', and there are two links, one to a set of slides and the other to the written article. The article lists the main arguments against a recent worldwide flood made in the book, along with links to available responses defending the Biblical standpoint. Richard goes on to say how there is overwhelming evidence for a recent worldwide flood, and how the Flood is a picture of God's judgement and the coming judgement at the end of the age.

The Flood - A Picture of the Judgement to Come

The Flood - A Picture of the Judgement to Come

In this video, Richard introduces a set of slides relating to his own visit to the Grand Canyon. He then goes on to cover the following points:-

• The structure of rock layers that we see in the world today, indicate that they must have been deposited in flood conditions.
• Evidence such as soft tissue in fossils shows that the flood had to be recent, i.e. within the Biblical timeframe.
• The commonality of rock layers across continents demonstrates that the flood had to be worldwide and not local.
• Seeing the size of the Grand Canyon, re-iterated to Richard how enormous the Flood must have been, and what a massive act of God's judgement it was.
• Just as the flood was an act of judgement though water, in which eight people were saved in a boat, there will be a coming judgement at the end of the age, this time through fire. Anyone can be saved from this by being in Christ through faith.

Calling and the Impact of Eternity

Calling and the Impact of Eternity

In this video and article, Richard looks at questions about calling, and discusses the following two aspects of the subject:

1. How does eternity affect our view on our calling? Some callings (e.g. that of a parent) have eternal consequences, whereas others (e.g. a job) may only be temporal.
2. Some callings may be consequence of factors that have been pre-assigned to us and are beyond our choosing (e.g. our parents or gender). We need to learn to be content with those things that we cannot change.

Causes of Death - Worldwide

Causes of Death - Worldwide

In this video, Richard looks at an article from the Christian press, which is suggesting that in 2023, the number of abortions exceeded that of any other cause of death worldwide. The figures check out well, being comparable with those from the World Health Organisation. This must surely cause us to think seriously, particularly as our society today considers itself to be morally superior to the way it was in the past. Having said this however, we all need to take heed that we do not become self-righteous and judgemental.

Protected Characteristics (2010 Legislation)

In this video and article, Richard discusses the Protected Characteristics legislation of 2010, which sought to deal with issues of equality and discrimination. The suggestion is made that this was too general in its application, without dealing in enough detail with the detailed issues concerning each individual characteristic.

Ancient Paths

Ancient Paths

In this video and article, Richard talks about a word given to him in conversation a few years ago. In Jeremiah 6:16 we read: "Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls." (ESV).

In seeking after new ways and ideas, the Church has lost a lot by way of good traditions that existed from the time of the Refoormation up until the 20th Century. Just as the Reformation itself was something of a return to ancient paths in the reinstatement of Biblical teaching and thinking, so likewise today, we are in very great need something of a new Reformation and a return to the ancient paths.

Science and Miracles

In this video and article, Richard talks about the implication of scientific method in relation to the supernatural. It is totally reasonable that observable things should be interpreted in terms of science and natural causes wherever possible. This does not however rule out the fact that other things such as creation, the Flood and modern miracles cannot reasonably be explained by science and must be attributed to the divine work of God.

Creation, Fall & Redemption Questions

This post is linked to the same article as the earlier post God as Lord of History and Geography, but the video takes a different approach. Richard here asks questions as to how we might look at God's purposes in history, in relation to both His original plans in creation and the working out of His redemptive plan for mankind.
