The Bible tells us that Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He used this training when he was called upon, later in life, to lead the Children of Israel through the desert and to write an account of their history. Obviously, Moses did not adopt the pagan philosophy in which his training in Egypt was couched. He evaluated what he heard.
In similar fashion, young Christians are encouraged to pursue modern learning, according to the talents with which they have been given. Like Moses too, they are expected to evaluate the modern explanations. In the light of the complexity of many modern disciplines however, it is obvious that students need help. They need trusted advisors to help them sort through the onslaught of information.
To this end, Creation Science Association’s Margaret Helder has developed a novel tool to assist students embarking on new courses in biology. Since much of the material taught in these courses is based on studies conducted since the year 2000, there are many new terms and concepts involved.All of them are defined in terms of evolutionary assumptions. The definitions available, on-line, all come from an evolutionary agenda. But the data themselves actually support creation! Read the rest of this entry »
There is no doubt that we are drawn to organization that involves hierarchy. Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778) famously devised a scheme for plant classification according to their reproductive characteristics. He established the idea of grouping organisms into a hierarchy of progressively shared traits. In his Systema naturae (1735) Linnaeus decreed that this logical organization of living things should involve increasingly larger categories. Thus, all similar individuals would be members of a species, similar species could be lumped into a genus. Similar genera were clumped into a family, similar families into an order, similar orders into a class, similar classes into a phylum or division. These groups were supposed to be exclusive. An organism was supposed to be a member of only one group. In Linnaeus’ view, this logical arrangement of organisms reflected God’s character and wisdom.
But all that changed with Darwin. Read the rest of this entry »

The day-age theory is another attempt (like the gap theory) to accommodate evolution into Christianity. Instead of adding millions of years to earth history before the Biblical account of creation, the day age theory expands the length of the days into long ages, each millions of years in length.
This idea has had appeal for many people but it is obvious that the events described in Genesis are not the same as the millions of years in the evolution scenario. For example, the sun, moon and stars were not created until day 4 as per Genesis, but according to the long ages view, the earth would have appeared long after the sun and other galaxies and stars.
Another problem is the Bible’s treatment of the Hebrew term “yom” or “day” in Genesis chapter 1. Hebrew grammar supports use of “yom” in Genesis 1 as meaning a 24 hour normal day. The passage 2 Peter 3:8 is sometimes quoted to suggest that long time intervals can possibly be applied to the word “day”, but the context of the passage is different. Moreover, Exodus 20:11 supports the understanding of “yom” as a normal 24-hour day.
For these and similar reasons, the day-age theory has also largely been abandoned by Christians.
