The argument for Modern Miracles
This video follows on from Richard's other videos on this particular subject, and the associated article is an introduction to the Masters Degree that Richard is currently undertaking. As in previous videos, Richard stresses the importance of modern miracles as overwhelming evidence in favour fo the existence of God.

Confirmation of the 6 Mega Sequences on every continent
In this video, Richard comments on work carried out by the creation societies with regard to 'mega sequences' (sedimentary rock layers). The order of the layers shows a consistency across the various continents of the world, and along with the fact that there is no sign of erosion between the layers, provides some of the best evidence so far in favour of a global year-long flood.

New Testament Christianity (2)
This is effectively a follow-on from an earlier video (see http://home.longcroft.church/longcroft/new-testament-christianity) and references the same article. Richard looks at the issue further and introduces other perspectives on the subject.

Adaptation - a Product of Design
In this video, Richard introduces a set of three articles by Robert Carter which discuss the way in which living organisms were designed to be able to adapt to their environment. Whilst Darwin was right in observing that the adaptation of species is a reality, the mechanism of genetics was not understood during his time. We now understand that DNA and the genetic code are incredibly complex, and that the ability to adapt can be programmed into that code. This amazing feat of engineering has got to be the work of intelligent design rather than a random process of evolution.

Fulfilled Prophecy
In this video, Richard looks at and compares the two main approaches that have been made to the intrepretation of the Book of Revelation. Firstly there is the historicist perspective that sees the prophectic fulfilment in events that have already occurred, and this was largely adopted from the time of the Reformation. Secondly there is the futurist perspective that sees the prophecies as relating to the final years of the end times, and this is the more widely adopted approach today. Richard maintains an open mind to the two ideas and also makes reference to the possibility of dual fulfilment.

Genetic Entropy - Mendel's Accountant
The term 'genetic entropy' refers to the way that mutations cause degeneration rather than enhancement of the genetic code. In this video, Richard discusses the implications of major work in this field carried out by John Sandford and his associates, with the development of "Mendel's Accountant", an analytical computer program. We know that designed/manufactured things decay over a period of time, and the genetic code is no exception, as mistakes due to mutations are introduced in every generation. As such, the genetic code would simply not survive the evolutionary timescale and yet we continue to be indoctrinated with evolutionary thinking.

Young DNA
In this video, Richard introduces an article about genetics and DNA. What is coming to light is the fact that many of the scientific discoveries being made in this area, actually fit far better into the model of a 6000 year old world history rather than that of a long age.

The best arguments against a young earth
In this video, Richard introduces an article in which he makes a response to the book 'The Grand Canyon - Monument to an Ancient Earth'. Although this book defends the old earth position, Richard nevertheless commends the authors for their willingness to engage with the thinking of young earth creationists, something which is sadly lacking in today's academic circles. The associated article lists a number of questions raised by the book along with references to various creationist responses that have been made.

Jesus on Judgement
In this video, Richard introduces an article in which he has listed the various references made to judgement by Jesus in the four Gospels. The point is emphasised that speaking about judgement does not go against the idea of God's love. Rather, very much to the contrary, it is because of God's great love for all, that it is not His will that anyone should face the eternal judgement that awaits those who reject Him to the end. We need to be speaking out that warning.

Junk DNA
Before the human DNA code started to be mapped out in detail in the early 2000s, it was generally believed that a substantial part of our genetic code constituted 'junk DNA', which fitted the evolutionary model well, as it could be looked upon as an evolutionary leftover. This ties into the fact that only a relatively small part of the genetic code is concerned with protein manufacture, which was originally seen as the primary function of DNA. Research over the last 20+ years has revealed however, that DNA does a lot more than just manufacturing proteins, and that its function is a great deal more complex than was originally believed, thus adding great weight to the argument in favour of intelligent design, as opposed to everything happening by chance.
