“Does Genesis chapter 1 mean literal 24-hour days?”……A careful examination of the Hebrew word for "day" and the context in which it appears in Genesis will lead to the conclusion that "day" means a literal, 24-hour period of time. The Hebrew word yom translated into the English "day" can mean more than one thing. It […]
Is the earth 4,600,000,000 years old? Or, is the earth only 2,191,000 days (6,000 years) old? In various previous articles I have discussed specific Geochronometers which scientifically show that our earth, solar system, galaxy and universe are young, perfectly consistent with 6,000 years. The reason that I have gone to such great lengths about this […]
“What does the Bible say about uniformitarianism vs. catastrophism?”……Geologically speaking, uniformitarianism is the idea that geological processes (rates of erosion and uplift, etc.) are essentially the same today as they were in the unobservable past.

“What does Creation “ex nihilo” mean?”……“Ex nihilo” is Latin for “from nothing.” The term “creation ex nihilo” refers to God creating everything from nothing. In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth Genesis 1:1. Prior to that moment there was nothing. God didn't make the universe from preexisting building blocks. He started from […]
