Soft Tissue in Fossils (1)

In this vide, Richard introduces an article by Dr Brian Thomas on the subject of soft tissue in fossils. Starting with Dr Mary Schwitzer in 2005, a substantial number of scientific articles have been published, providing evidence that soft tissue has been found in fossils. The simple fact of the matter is that biological material cannot last more than a few thousand years, and yet the scientific community continues to try and explain it away, in order to fit the facts with a long evolutionary timescale. The article looks at arguments put forward to explain it away and comes to the conclusion that such arguments just do not work.

The only reasonable conclusion has got to be that the fossils are in fact the product of a recent worldwide flood as recorded in the Bible.

Origin of the Universe, the Earth & Life

Origin of the Universe, the Earth & Life

In this video, Richard introduces a brief article which addresses and summarises some of the main ways in which we can argue in favour of a biblical explanation for the origin of the universe, the earth and life. Points covered include:

• The origin of the universe itself is beyond scientific reasoning, as we just don't have the necessry knowledge.
• There is clear evidence that the earth is young, particularly when we look at the matter of soft tissue in fossils.
• Life is extremely complex and as such has to be the work of intelligent design.
• In the natural world, things tend to decay over time, which goes completely against the idea of long age evolution.
• Modern miracles provide powerful evidence that the Bible is a true revelation of God.

The Cognitive Map

The Cognitive Map

In this video, Richard introduces an article about the cognitive map. This is a term given to the mechanism by which the brain draws a map of how the things around us are related to ourselves and how they are related to each other, thus creating an image of our physical environment. We now know that brain function is extremely complex, and yet at this stage have only scraped the surface of our understaning. We can however be certain that these mechanisms are irreducibly complex, i.e. would need to be fully in place before performing any useful function. This can only be yet more evidence that life is the product of intelligent design, rather than a random evolutionary process.

The Moral Law

In this video and article, Richard makes a comparison between a secular foundation for the moral law with a more biblical one, suggesting that with the evidence for Christianity now so overwhelming, it would be wise to base our concept of morality on God's knowledge of what is good and evil rather than our very imperfect understanding.

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.

Psalm 2 and the Academic Community

Psalm 2 and the Academic Community

In this video and article, Richard uses Psalm 2 as an apt description of the state of the world today. He challenges society, and in particular the academic community, to consider the evidence for God, which now clearly exists in great abundance. People have the choice to reject it and face judgement, to to accept it and be received by God.

Human Fossils

In this video, Richard introduces an article about human evolution in relation to fossil evidence. Over the years, evolutionists have failed to establish any evidence for ancestoral links between humans and apes, and yet in spite of this, continue to operate on the assumption that such a process had to be so. In reality, all relevant fossils can clearly be defined as belonging to either apes or humans, leaving us faced with clear evidence supporting the idea that human beings were a special and separate creation.

God’s Protein Pump

God's Protein Pump

This post is named after the associated article from the Institute for Creation Research. We now know that the cell is a highly complex piece of machinery, and textbooks describing cellular anatomy are now well in excess of 1400 pages. This complexity is still not fully understood, as more continues to be discovered. Much of the machinery is driven by proteins, which are themselves highly complex and highly organised molecular structures. The Apostle Paul stated that we are without excuse with all the visible evidence for creation, and this could not be more true than in recent decades, as major discoveries have been made in the field of molecular biology.

Greenland Ice Cores

Greenland Ice Cores - Evidence for the Flood

In this video, Richard introduces an atricle about research that has been carried out on ice cores in Greenland. As a result of drilling down into two cores only 28km apart, it has been found that the layers of sediment are very different between the two, which does not fit in with the idea of gradual deposition over a long period of time. The observation is far more consistent with the idea of a worldwide flood and the stormy conditions that would have prevailed in the subsequent period.

The Historicist Interpretation of the Book of Revelation

The Historicist Interpretation of the Book of Revelation

There exist four standard interpretations of the Book of Revelation:

1. The Preterist Interpretation, in which the prophecies were fulfilled within a few decades of New Testament times.
2. The Historicist Interpretation, in which the prophecies were fullfilled over the centuries/millenia that followed. This was the generally accepted interpretation from the time of the Reformation up to about 1850.
3. The Futurist Interpretation, in which the prophecies relate to a future period of seven years immediately before the Second Coming. This became the more widely accepted interpretation after about 1850.
4. The Idealist Interpretation, which sees it as a general pattern of good over evil, rather than a specific set of prophecies with literal fulfilment.

Because prophecy can have multiple fulfilment, the various interpretations are not necessarily mutually exclusive. In this video and article, Richard looks more closely at the details of the Historicist Interpretation.
