How do you detect something out in space that’s invisible? Well, you observe how the objects near it behave. This gives you clues about the nature of the invisible body. And that’s exactly how scientists have discovered and described black holes. Black holes are not visible through standard technology or telescopes, even though they’ve been … Read More
One of the greatest mysteries in secular physics is why there isn’t much antimatter to be found anywhere in our universe. What is antimatter? Well, it’s particles that share the same mass as matter but with opposite qualities. That means if matter has a positive charge, antimatter will have a negative charge. Basically, antimatter is … Read More
The fastest land animal in the world makes its home on the Savannahs in Africa alongside elephants, hippos, and rhinos. A very small population of a sub-species also lives in eastern Iran. That mammal, of course, is the Cheetah. This big cat is famous for its speed. While hunting it can reach top speeds of … Read More
God designed His creation to work together. Just think about how many systems in nature involve multiple parts or a variety of organisms functioning together; photosynthesis requires the sun and the plant; the water cycle needs the sun, water vapor, and liquid water; decomposition involves plants or dead animals, scavengers, fungi, and microbes. Each part … Read More
Did you know you were designed to run around barefoot? Genesis tells us that originally Adam and Eve were created naked. It wasn’t until after sin that clothes—and eventually shoes—came into being. But when we shed our shoes we see that God’s design is the best. An incredible 25% of the bones in your body … Read More
Many skeptics of the Bible, and even fellow Christians, have wondered how Noah could’ve fit all the millions of modern animal species on the Ark. He would have needed a fleet of cargo ships! But Noah didn’t take all the species on the Ark! Noah was only commanded to take every kind of land-dwelling, air-breathing … Read More
Why should you believe in creation, and not evolution? I mean, scientifically speaking. Haven’t we proven that evolution is a fact? The theories of evolution would indicate that life is the result of chance processes over millions of years. It would claim that life, and all of life’s systems, have slowly evolved from simple to … Read More
The richness and variety of foods, flavors, and combinations of those flavors is perhaps one of our Creator’s greatest gifts to us. He didn’t just give us foods that contain the basic nutrients for life so that we could stay alive. He gave us thousands of different fruit, vegetable, grain, and meat options, spices and … Read More
Here at David Rives Ministries, we talk a lot about Genesis and how easy it is to read and understand the first book of the Bible.

After Noah and his family got off the Ark God gave them a simple command, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.” But just two chapters later we read the response of Noah’s descendants, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a … Read More
Has a vague scent in the air ever caught your attention? You know you’ve smelled it somewhere before but you just don’t know where? Well, our sense of smell is incredible and many scents are strongly linked with memories. The average adult can distinguish 10,000 different scents from baking bread, to a favorite perfume, to … Read More
I was studying some geological formations not long ago, and started wondering why we have so many different types of rocks and soils. Surely God could have created the Earth with a few basic minerals? Why so much variety? That got me to thinking: why do I have a red sweater and a blue one? … Read More
We’ve all heard the story: Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree, saw an apple fall to the ground, and, viola, discovered gravity. Of course, the real story is much longer and more complicated than that. But Newton, who was a mathematician, physicist, and Bible-believing Christian, did describe gravity for the first time in … Read More
Why should you believe in creation, and not evolution? I mean, scientifically speaking. Haven’t we proven that evolution is a fact? When most people hear the term “evolution” they think of one kind of animal turning into another kind of animal. This is biological evolution and it’s just one of several different kinds of evolution. … Read More
Every time a new comet is spotted that was previously undocumented, it is claimed that the comet originated from the Oort Cloud. Articles, magazines, and scientific reports begin claiming that the comet left this proposed cloud tens of thousands of years ago, and is just getting to our solar system. But what is the Oort … Read More
The Bible tells us that “the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows His handiwork.” Astronomy is one of my passions. I love looking through telescopes and seeing the incredible and beautiful things God has made and placed throughout the universe for His glory. Researchers estimate there are at least 170 billion … Read More
Have you heard of the Oort Cloud? For years, Cosmologists have discussed some type of Cloud or band that would explain the existence of long-period comets. Maybe a bit of background would be helpful, so let’s back it up a bit, and start with one of the most popular theories for solar system origins. Remember, … Read More
Let’s talk about Astronomy for a minute…. The Bible says the heavens declare the glory of God but there is a theory that says that 14 billion years ago, everything started on its own, purely by accident. But how do you even get the first star to form when a Big Bang would send all … Read More
Evolution is found in scores of pages in your average high school textbook, but a lot of people don’t check the sources, because, after all, somebody smart wrote the book, right? Ernst Haeckel, a German zoology professor, was an ardent supporter and promoter of Darwin’s ideas about evolution. It was really due to this free-thinker … Read More
One theory of cosmic evolution is that after a Big Bang, 14 Billion Years ago, gas in the vacuum of space started contracting, eventually becoming so tight that it formed stars. It’s claimed that this happened trillions upon trillions of times to create the populated Universe we see today. However, we’ve never had ONE confirmed, … Read More
Charles Lyell was a British lawyer and geologist who lived during the nineteenth century. He published a three-volume work called Principles of Geology, which promoted his ideas of an old earth, geologic ages, and uniformitarianism. This is the belief that the present is the key to the past. He believed that the slow and gradual … Read More
James Hutton was a Scottish geologist, physician, chemical manufacturer, naturalist, and experimental agriculturist. He’s considered the Founder of Modern Geology. It appears that he was a deist, but it’s also possible that he entertained the notion of atheism. He believed, at best, that God was distant from earth and did not intervene in creation. Before … Read More

Why should you believe in creation, and not evolution? I mean, scientifically speaking. Haven’t we proven that evolution is a fact?

Why should you believe in creation, and not evolution? I mean, scientifically speaking. Haven’t we proven that evolution is a fact? The foundation for evolutionary ideas about the past is millions of years. Without the millions of years, it’s utterly impossible for evolution to have happened.

Why should you believe in creation, and not evolution? I mean, scientifically speaking. Haven’t we proven that evolution is a fact? Survival of the fittest to reproduce, or “natural selection,” is considered to be the driving force behind evolution.
