In the Heroes of Creation Science Series

Robert Boyle (1627-1691) was born into a wealthy family. Despite the fact that his upbringing was scattered among relatives and institutions, he grew up a convinced Christian. He realized that nature reveals the work of the Creator. Unusually for his time, he understood that experiments and research were a powerful witness to Christian faith. Therefore he (and colleague Robert Hooke) carried out experiments on the relationship of temperature to volume of the air. He developed Boyle’s Law which is still so important to how science understands  gases. It was his strong faith and his insistence on actual observations  of nature that so greatly contributed to his impact on modern thought.

Major ideas on the relationship of organisms to each other and to their origins, require a lot of thought. Evolution has long been popular, but alternative less popular interpretations (like creation) require lots more information and evaluating. Quite a lot of material in this booklet involves a discussion of defensive strategies in plants. The authors suggest that all plants are provided with a system of continuous environmental tracking  (CET) which allows these organisms to detect an attack on the integrity of the plant (such as virus, bacterium, fungus,  or grazing animal). The authors declare that evolutionists talk about a blind process that “tinkers,” looking for solutions. God the Creator, however, designs a system in advance, that fills all needs.

Besides this innovative discussion, the book also includes observations on the flood model, origin of land plants (not from algae!), and epigenetics (whole new area of genetics studies). It is obvious that this book is ideal for people looking for ground cutting research. Obviously, this information  is just the beginning. There will be lots more to learn in the future!

The inspiration for this booklet was a man who appreciated that plants are interesting. Their ecological relationships among themselves and with animals, lead us to reflect on God’s providential designs. This whimsical collection of topics such as poisonous plants, edible insects, the benefits of trees, and electrical signaling between and within plants, all point us to God’s oversight over creation.

Many members of the public are fascinated by T. rex, the fossil dinosaur that is large, ugly and rare! Apparently, there is an astonishingly wide variety of studies devoted to this creature. The interesting news is that these studies better fit the creation model and flood geology than any evolutionary speculations. Among the issues discussed are lack of T. rex ancestors (which would be needed for figuring out lines of descent, if any); unfossilized material in their bones (suggesting recent age), no feathers (suggested bird descent from dinosaurs is all wrong); and mixed marine and freshwater sediments connected with T. rex fossils (suggesting flood geology). There are ample illustrations in this booklet which is written for the interested adult.

The term “expanse” in the title comes from the Hebrew word raqia in Genesis. Dr. Faulkner establishes that this term represents earth’s atmosphere and everything beyond to the farthest reaches of outer space. Cosmology involves a lot of difficult concepts like distances to objects in space, but the author carefully traces the history and meaning of such terms. Readers interested in a Biblical interpretation of modern cosmology, will enjoy this book. Interestingly, he devotes a significant portion of the book to a critique of flat earth theories. Also, the analysis of the Big Bang model may be the most valuable aspect of this work.

The Bible clearly describes our history and the earth as young. Christians therefore wonder if our society is wrong when they declare that the earth is billions of years old. Are these claims indeed wrong? This new and interesting booklet provides some fascinating insights into the age of the earth.

Some topics however seem so ‘same old, same old’. When we look for an in interesting origins-related topic to consider, a discussion on the age of the earth scarcely seems like an exciting read. We have all heard, ad infinitum perhaps, about the short comings of radiometric dating and the age of the rocks. What more is there to discuss on this topic? Well, guess what! This new title spends little time discussing radiometric dating. There are plenty of other fascinating issues connected to this topic of age. For example, there are interesting and amusing insights to be gained from looking at Greenland’s ice cover (chapters 11-13). Moreover, the remains of ocean crust, which originated in the flood, is another exciting topic (chapters 15 and 17). There is, in addition, a fascinating new theory concerning earth’s motion, which does not work very well (chapter 19) and erosion of the Hawaiian-Emperor seamount chain (chapter 25) definitely expands our understanding of this arc of volcanic islands.

These chapters aren’t just interesting anecdotes. This discussion provides serious information on the age of the earth. So, take the plunge! This book will expand your interests and your appreciation for the Biblical account of Creation.

In recent years, Christians have become more alarmed over climate change. Both secular and Christian voices have urged them to heed the “all-but-unanimous scientific consensus” on the issue. But is that consensus based on solid science?
