– On October 4, 1957, Russian scientists launched the first artificial satellite into space. This event brought on what is known as “The Space Race” when the U.S. and Russia were competing with each other in the advancement of space technology. This race cost America over 20 billion dollars and lasted until the year 1975. … Read More

– The Big Bang is supposed to have produced the elements Hydrogen and Helium, and we are led to believe that from these two, all 118 of the elements that make up the periodic table were formed. Is that possible? Let’s take a quick look at science. Hydrogen, is one electron and one proton. Deuterium, … Read More

– A supernova is a star that has reached a critical point, and explodes, normally in a spectacular display of light. Based on the Big Bang theory, shortly after an explosion 14 billion years ago, stars began forming and exploding frequently, and as the first stars went supernova (or exploded), they gave rise to a … Read More

– Evolutionary cosmology indicates that after the Big Bang, an unlikely event took place which brought particles of matter together forming clouds of gas, and subsequently stars. But in scientific law: There is no gas known to man that clumps together. It always pushes apart. It is a physical law that gas in a vacuum … Read More

– Some scientists would tell us that 14 billion years ago, an event took place that created the universe from nothing. This explosion has no place in Biblical history, yet some Christians have come to believe in current science more than the Word of God. Even so, the Bible actually refers to the big bang. … Read More

– The Big Bang theory is a popular cosmological theory that attempts to explain the creation of the Universe through chance. The Big Bang states that around 14 billion years ago, all of the matter in the Universe was compacted into a very small, very dense point This matter suddenly exploded, and sent debris in … Read More

– One popular argument for Theistic Evolutionists is the scripture in 2 Peter which states “…One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” But Greek prose is vastly different from the Hebrew writing styles found in Genesis, and there is no indication that “day” means anything … Read More

– Many people don’t understand the importance of believing in a literal 6 day creation. Most Hebrew scholars agree that the wording used in the Creation account indicates literal 24 hour days. An old Earth view gives rise to many ungodly theories such as death before sin, human-primate origins, a chance cosmos, and other speculative … Read More

– A question on many Christians minds today is: Is the Big Bang Biblical? Well, let’s look at the big bang theory, and see how it stands up to the historical record of creation in the Bible. The Bible states that in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth from void, or nothing. … Read More

– The book of Genesis describes a 7 day creation week. But were they really days, or long spans of time as some teachers would have you believe? Scholars conclude that it is most likely: The Hebrew word ‘yom’, or day, as found in the creation account refers to a literal, 24 hour day- and … Read More

– The Crab Nebula, also known as Messier 1, was the very first of 110 objects to be catalogued by the French astronomer Charles Messier. He mistook this nebula for a comet upon first observation, and thus began the famous Messier catalogue. This colorful nebula is quite bright, and fairly easy to spot using a … Read More

– The scriptures tell us that in the beginning, God created the heaven and earth in six days. The account uses the Hebrew word “yom” preceded by the number of each day, and clarified with the definition “evening and morning”. So why, then, do we have Christians settling for a stretched interpretation of those passages, … Read More

– We read a thought-provoking question in Psalms “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” Today more than ever, this question warns us of the dangers of an ever increasing attack on the foundations of our faith. And what better way to go back to our foundations, than the very beginning itself: … Read More

WATCH VIDEO HERE: Also known as the ‘Dog Star’, Sirius is thought to be 8.6 light years away. It is actually a binary or double-star system, composed of the primary star, Sirius A, and the faint Sirius B beside it. Some observers refer to these two as Sirius and his pup. The hottest part of … Read More

– Picking up an astronomy magazine, one might find a photo of the gorgeous Messier 42 or come across the spectacular Messier 13. Search the web for galaxies, and you might see Messier 101, or come across Messier 51. But what is this Messier, and what does it mean? Charles Messier was a Frenchman who … Read More

– Situated in the constellation Canes Venatici, we find the breathtaking Whirlpool Galaxy, also known as M51. This stunning object in the night sky appears as one large spiral galaxy feeding into another much smaller one. The primary galaxy was discovered by Charles Messier in 1774, however, its companion galaxy was not discovered until 1781 … Read More

– Today, many people reference the Big Bang theory as fact. Many just accept it as fact because of their peer’s belief in it. However, just a few examples of widely believed theories that were superseded by newer theories make it plain as the saying goes: “Wishing don’t make it so.” The long-held theory of … Read More

– We know that the Earth is special, and there are factors that protect our planet from large incoming debris. In addition, there are many other threats that are potentially just as devastating. Cosmic Radiation is one of those threats. Our planet is thought to have a liquid iron core. Why is this significant? Because … Read More

– Today, our government wants to take God out of the system, prayer out of the schools, and the Ten Commandments out of the courtroom. Many astronomers address the Big Bang and evolutionary theory as scientific fact. But have we, as a country, always been so adverse to God and the Bible? Not so long … Read More

– The Genesis account tells us that the lights in the heavens are to be for signs, not to be confused with the astrology condemned by the Bible, as pagan in nature. Did the constellations that are now presented as mythological objects originally have a purer, Biblical meaning? In the book of Job, God asks: … Read More

– Genesis 1:16 tells us that the moon was created by God as a light to rule the night. However, some astronomers have taken God out of the picture, and come up with many theories on how the moon could have originated through cosmic evolution. To name a few, The Fission Theory, The Capture Theory, … Read More

– Recently an article appeared on CNN entitled: “Jesus would believe in evolution and so should you” Well, perhaps the author of that article failed to read the words of Jesus when He said: “From the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.” The Dr. who wrote the piece also said: “There … Read More

– We know that distant stars and galaxies are incredibly far away, and scientists have attempted to measure that distance using various methods. One of the most popular is the method known as Stellar Parallax, the use of trigonometry to determine distance. Stellar Parallax is the apparent shift of a close star in relation to … Read More

– Many astronomers use the terms Light Year, Parsec, and Astronomical Unit as if they are understood by everyone. But how many people really know what a Parsec is? How many people fully grasp that a Light Year is the distance light would travel (at 12 million miles a minute) after an entire year? A … Read More

– While many scientists today claim that the earth was formed from cosmic dust billions of years ago, a close look at our planet reveals that it was carefully designed. Earth’s position in the solar system is such that the large outer planets, known as “gas giants” circle and protect earth as they rotate farther … Read More

– The Genesis account of creation states that God formed the heaven and the earth in 6 days. He rested on the 7th day, and made it holy. Modern science gives us a contradictory view, cutting God out of the equation entirely. Some theorize that around 14 billion years ago, a giant explosion caused everything … Read More
