Animal Suffering

In this video, Richard looks at the question of how creation has suffered as a result of the entry of sin into the world, but then looks to the hope that creation will itself be redeemed at the very end. He goes on however to say on a more sobering note, that even though creation may be redeemed, there will be no redemption for those people who have rejected God's way of salvation, thus giving us an ever increasing urgency to evangelise.

Jesus and the Old Testament

In this video, Richard introduces an article which lists key references to the Old Testament made by Jesus in Matthew's Gospel. Amongst other things, He spoke of the stories of creation and the flood as if they were real history. If Jesus is the Son of God and gave such authority to the Old Testament, then we should treat it likewise.

Review of Behe's book Darwin Devolves

In this video, Richard introduces us to a review of the book "Darvin Devolves" by Prof. Michael Behe. Like his earlier book "Darwin's Black Box", this takes up the theme that biological systems are incredibly complex, and that such complexity could not have possibly been generated by random mutations alone.

Ice Cores - the value of a detailed response

In this video, Richard introduces a series of articles about the ice cores which are to be found in Greenland and Antarctica. Secular scientists have often used these as evidence against a young earth and worldwide flood. Detailed research has however been carried out in this area, and has demonstrated that whilst our knowledge is still far from complete, observations are nevertheless fully compatible with the model of a young earth and worldwide flood. Richard once again reminds us that the latter actually offers a much better explanation of the idea of a past ice age.

How did Jesus handle miracles?

In this video, Richard introduces an article that lists various miracles of Jesus and various references that He made to miracles in the Gospels. It is pointed out that Jesus's miracles are broadly divided into two categories - (1) to show compassion, and (2) as a visible demonstration of the revelation of God.

Philosophy's responsibility to the academic community

Is there a god? In this video, Richard discusses how the answer to this question is foundational to any academic thinking, first and foremost in the area of philosophy, but also in every other academic discipline, and goes on to discuss some of the implications of this.

Directional Mutations

Directional mutations

In this video and article, we are introduced to the concept of directional mutations. According to evolutionary thinking, mutations are random, with favourable ones being chosen by a process of natural selection. There is however increasing evidence that mutations are not all random, and that the cell in all its complexity is programmed to be able to generate non-random (i.e. directional) mututions in order to adapt to environmental demands. This is much more in line with the idea of intelligent design.

The Academic Response to Creation Science

The academic response to Creation Science

In order to critique something, particularly in academic circles, it is absolutely essential that the material under scrutiny is thoroughly read and researched. In this video and article, Richard raises concern about that way in which academic research by opponents of creationist thinking sadly fails in many cases to engage properly with the works of creation science.

Flood Geology in the 1830s

Flood geology in the 1830s - George Fairholme

In this video, Richard introduces the work of George Fairholme, who published geological evidence for Noah's Flood as long ago as the 1830s. Sadly, his thinking was not taken on board by the Church, and we see at least 120 years of history in which the Bible was not properly defended, enabling the advancement of atheistic thinking to abound.
