INTRODUCING THE RIOT AND THE DANCE DOCUMENTARIES

Posted on by

Join Dr. James Tour for a fascinating conversation with Dr. Gordon Wilson, a biologist and the creator of the nature documentary series The Riot and the Dance. I am sorry that I had not discovered Dr Gordon Wilson and his work, The Riot and the Dance earlier so that I could have used them in evangelism. The quality of the documentary series (9) is as good as Dr David Attenborough’s documentaries but Dr Wilson gives glory to God for creation’s awesome wonder and beauty. He also reveals from Scripture why creation is like it is because death and carnivore’s were introduced by man’s rebellion.

In this episode, they talk about the beauty of God’s creation, the problems with evolutionary storytelling in many nature documentaries, and the biblical call to care for the world around us. You’ll also see clips from the series and hear Dr. Wilson’s thoughts on elephants, animal spirits, environmentalism, and the dominion mandate.

The Riot and the Dance is streaming on Angel Studios and Canon Plus. Learn more at riotandthedance.com.

“You make springs gush forth in the valleys; they flow between the hills; they give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell; they sing among the branches.
From your lofty abode you water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work. You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen man’s heart.
The trees of the LORD are watered abundantly, the cedars of Lebanon that he planted. In them the birds build their nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees. The high mountains are for the wild goats; the rocks are a refuge for the rock badgers.
He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting. You make darkness, and it is night, when all the beasts of the forest creep about. The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God. When the sun rises, they steal away and lie down in their dens.
Man goes out to his work and to his labour until the evening. O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Here is the sea, great and wide, which teems with creatures innumerable, living things both small and great.
There go the ships, and Leviathan, which you formed to play in it. to give them their food in due season. When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things. When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. When you send forth your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground. May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works.” Psalms 104:10-31

HOW TO EXPLAIN CREATION TO AN EVOLUTIONIST

Posted on by

Why do so many scientists reject creation—and is that rejection rooted in science itself or in something deeper? This conversation explores how assumptions like naturalism shape what people believe about origins, about truth, and even about the nature of science itself. Dr Robert Carter unpacks why believing in a rational Creator actually makes science possible, and how shifting the conversation from ‘facts’ to ‘worldviews’ can open surprising doors for meaningful dialogue. If you have ever struggled to talk about these things with others, this episode is for you.

This is an important video and will help Christians have effective conversations with agnostics and atheists on creation and evolution.

THE DESIGNING FORCE BEHIND THE LIVING WORLD

Posted on by

Who first invented fiber optic cables? Or camera shutters? Or truss structures? Or double wishbone suspensions? Or block-style Roman arches? What about laser beams? As award-winning British engineer and designer Stuart Burgess reveals, the original inventor of these and countless other ingenious devices was no human inventor. Instead, the “first to market” was the designing force behind the living world.

Evolutionary theory predicts a living world crowded with substandard designs. But as Burgess shows in Ultimate Engineering, the latest science has discovered just the opposite — designs so advanced they are at the limit of the possible, precisely as proponents of the theory of intelligent design anticipated. As Burgess also details, he and other researchers are taking the discovery of these advanced designs and using them to inspire fresh technological breakthroughs — a revolution known as biomimetics.

Burgess shows that Darwinian natural selection and mutations cannot produce the wonders seen in the human body. The arguments and confessions of evolutionists are also well documented. One senior professor, a non religious microbiologist suggested that evolutionary theory was “black magic”. Another such professor a leading biology researcher at a top university, said in an equally frank moment, “You wave a magic wand and say, Evolution did it”.

Time spent reading Ultimate Engineering could lead to a new appreciation of where you came from, why you are here and where you are going.

TWO GIANT INTELLECTUALS DISCUSS GOD

Posted on by

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down with mathematician, author, and theologian Dr. John Lennox. They discuss the axioms and dangerous aims of transhumanism, the interplay between ethical faith, reason, and the empirical world that makes up the scientific endeavour, and the line between Luciferian intellectual presumption and wise courageous exploration. Dr. John Carson Lennox is a ​​Northern Irish mathematician, bioethicist, and Christian apologist. Dr Lennox has been one of the most important apologists for me. I take every opportunity to listen to him. He has written books that will expand your Biblical knowledge and faith. He was a professor at Oxford and Green Templeton College (now retired) where he specialized in group theory. Lennox appeared in numerous debates with questions ranging from “Is God Good” to “Is There a God,” and faced off with academic titans such as Richard Dawkins, Michael Shermer, and Christopher Hitchens, among others. Lennox speaks four languages – English, German, French, and Russian, has written 70 peer-reviewed articles on mathematics, co-authored two Oxford Mathematical Monographs, and was noted for his role in translating Russian mathematics while working as a professor. I have also enjoyed listening to Jordan Peterson and seeing the positive impact he has had on male university students and watching his coming to faith after both his daughter and wife came to faith.

USING GROK 4 TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON DINOSAURS AND RADIOMETRIC DATING

Posted on by

Calvin Smith of Answers in Genesis , Canada uses strict math, logic, and science to show Grok (Elon Musk’s AI) that dinosaurs lived at the same time as humans — Grok 4 admitted it. But then it defaulted right back to the evolutionary story… Why, because that is what is taught by our schools and universities that teach evolution as fact when in fact it is a heavily flawed theory. When asked the right questions it was impressive in delivering the right answers.

Note that this interaction with Grok 4 is intended to be for educational purposes only. Although Grok 4 has been touted by its founder Elon Musk as the most sophisticated AI currently on the planet (with better comprehension than most PhDs in all fields simultaneously), Answers in Genesis (AIG) is not claiming Grok 4 will always provide accurate information or represent current scientific arguments as human experts perhaps would. For specific, current information in any area, AIG suggest you look up peer reviewed articles from reputable journals. However, AIG welcomes people apply the same parameters (strict logic, mathematical probability and observational science) and ask Grok 4 the same questions they have to see the results for themselves, understanding that Grok 4 pulls data from a wide range of sources and can make accurate conclusions based on current scientific data in many circumstances. For a better understanding of AiG’s stance on the use of AIs (published prior to Grok 4’s release), please read the article What Only People Can Do: The Limits of Large Language Models, How to navigate a dangerous new technology by Harry F. Sanders, III and Lita Sanders on July 8, 2025, available on the Answers in Genesis website.

KEEPING THE FAITH BUT FAITH IN WHAT?

Posted on by

Columbia University professor ( an adjunct professor in the Writing Program at School of the Arts) Brenda Wineapple’s goal in writing Keeping the Faith (faith in evolution) appears to be to present William Jennings Bryan (and creationists in general) in the worst possible light. Consistent with this, she also strives to present evolutionists (in this case, the atheist/agnostic Clarence Darrow in the best possible light. The author succeeds marvellously in achieving both. The author undertook an enormous amount of research, as evidenced by the 58 pages of references in her bibliography section. Sadly, her book is also widely successful, being rated number nine in its category on Amazon and earning 386 ratings, 92% of which are very positive and 22 reviews as at 14 July 2025. On Goodreads, the book has 710 ratings, 85% of which are very positive and 120 reviews as at 14 July 2025. It is in 721 libraries.

With so many people in the USA wedded to evolution including many who believe they are Christians, and the fact we are in the Biblical prophesied last days before Jesus returns when persecution of Christians escalates a Christian revival is unlikely. However, there is no doubt that God has given the USA a reprieve with the election of Donald Trump and the martyrdom of Charlie Kirk has seen a significant turning to God by university students and Gen Z.

Wineapple has cherry-picked thousands of pages to present William Jennings Bryan as a white supremacist—a position Bryan openly condemned in writing. She mentions Bryan in conjunction with the KKK fully 39 times, such as the claim that “Bryan from the pulpit preaches the domination of Christ; in politics, he practices Ku Kluxism and white domination, the bulwarks of which are lynching, murder, rape, arson, theft, and concubinage.” As one reviewer of Keeping the Faith stated: “Bryan gets a lot more attention [than Darrow] and it is mostly to denigrate him as a racist Christian fundamentalist … . She spends way too much time on the Ku Klux Klan when they do not figure at all in the Scopes Trial. They seem to be in the book because [she claimed] they align significantly with Bryan’s views, but Bryan was not in the KKK … . In fact, Bryan’s beliefs were over half a century ahead of the civil rights movement. In the magazine he edited, The Commoner, Bryan frequently wrote about his strong support for black civil rights. None of Bryan’s support for civil rights for blacks made it into Wineapple’s book!

Neither does she ever mention that all of the evidence the scientists submitted in support of evolution (which was included in the transcript of the trial) has been fully refuted. Piltdown Man has been exposed as a forgery. Java Man consisted of only a skull cap, a portion of femur and two teeth, not all of them closely associated with each other. The femur portion is indistinguishable from that of a gracile (‘modern’) human, or a robust human such as Homo erectus. The skull cap was more than once thought to be that of an extinct ape, but is now generally acknowledged to be that of a robust human, i.e., H. erectus, consistent with the teeth found.

ronically, Wineapple acknowledges that evolution is based on instances of damage to the DNA code, called ‘mutations’. Evolution teaches that humans are the result of billions of such genetic mistakes. However, most mutations are either deleterious or near-neutral. They do not add viable information, which is what evolution requires. Instead, many of those mutations that are not repaired (99.9% are repaired) cause diseases, including cancer. They do not take you from GOO to YOU.

Much information regarding the supreme value of academic freedom is covered by Wineapple, but she ignores the fact that, as a result of the Scopes Trial and its progenitive precedents, the American courts have ruled that it is illegal to present information against the evolutionary worldview and in favour of the creation worldview. Consequently, only information in favour of the evolutionary worldview and against the creation worldview can be taught without risking termination. This is not education, but indoctrination. Wineapple’s book serves to strongly support this one-sided brainwashing, which will significantly worsen the situation concerning the importance of academic freedom.

HOW DOES EVOLUTION MAKE “YOU FROM GOO”?

Posted on by

C.S. Lewis once put it, “Men became scientific because they expected Law in Nature, and they expected Law in Nature because they believed in a Legislator.” Christianity is a science-starter. God made us in His image to create as He creates.

The creation/evolution debate has continued unabated for a century. The US and, indeed, the world remain highly divided on the question of origins. The good news is that latest scientific discoveries like the electron microscope that revealed in even the simplest cells complex machinery and transport devices and then the discovery of DNA which is complex information that controls the complex machinery and transport devices in every cell. There is no way this could have evolved and the only source of complex information is intelligence of the highest order. The God who exists outside of the complex universe He created.

There is no mechanism to explain evolution, from “GOO to YOU”. Darwin’s natural selection won’t do it. It only selects from what is already there. The only other proposed mechanism – mutations, also won’t do it. Mutation loses information it does not add information. Moreover order does not come from chaos. God exists and even more important He loves us.

DNA DEBUNKS EVOLUTION

Posted on by

In this video, Dr Robert Carter explores how genetics supports a biblical timeline. The evidence is irrefutable and deserves to get wide distribution. Make sure you send it to family and friends.

DNA is supposedly millions of years old, but can it really survive that long? The evidence suggests otherwise. From genetic entropy showing species can’t survive endless mutations, to ancient DNA breaking down too quickly in the ground, to mitochondrial Eve and Y-chromosome Adam pointing to recent common ancestors — multiple lines of evidence challenge evolutionary timescales. DNA barcoding reveals another puzzle: species across the animal kingdom appear to be roughly the same age, as if some major event reset life on Earth.

WHY EVOLUTION CAN’T WORK

Posted on by

The giant tortoise, the bowhead whale, and the Greenland shark are three of the longest-lived vertebrates. As we will see, the facts about them make the evolutionary narrative even harder for materialists to justify.

The oldest living tortoise in the world, called Jonathan, is believed to have hatched from an egg in 1832, though that is only an estimate. That makes him about 193 years old (in 2025), and he is thought to be the oldest living land animal.

What does such longevity mean for belief in the evolution narrative? If animals are able to sow their genetic information into the gene pool over hundreds of years, with lengthened generations, then it would only increase the difficulty for evolution to occur. Famous evolutionary biologist J.B.S. Haldane (1892–1964) pointed out that larger, slow-breeding vertebrates, such as cattle, cannot hope to pay the cost of neo-Darwinian evolution through random mutations and natural selection.

The cost (i.e., of substituting a gene) may be stated as follows. Consider a breeding population in which a supposedly beneficial mutation arises. For that mutated gene to spread to become dominant in the population, a large number of individuals without that mutation must first die (in that and succeeding generations) without leaving offspring. Haldane’s ‘working number’ for these deaths was 30 times the population size.

Four factors that can lower the number of such deaths are higher selection pressures, higher mutation rates, faster population turnover, and smaller populations. Haldane cited a theoretical low of around 10–20 times the population size. But he said it could be higher than the 30 he used in his calculations, in rare circumstances, even as high as 100. Nonetheless, 30 is generally taken as a reasonable estimate for most situations.

This theoretical cost is grossly unrealistic; for a population of only 1,000 animals, it would mean 30,000 nonreproductive deaths must first happen over time. This is an unacceptable cost for the species to bear. And for larger populations, the number of such deaths would be higher still. This long-recognized problem is known as Haldane’s Dilemma. And there is no solution in sight.

There is also another issue to consider, called Peto’s Paradox. Large vertebrates have many more cells than small animals, which suggests a higher risk of mutations in body cells (called somatic mutations, which are not inherited). Also, the longer a creature lives, the higher the chance of the DNA in an individual cell mutating. Such mutations can lead to cancer and early death. So, the larger, longer-lived vertebrates should have a greater risk of cancer.

But the evidence is the reverse; it would seem they actually have a lower risk of cancer, perhaps due to one or more effective DNA repair mechanisms. The presence of cell repair mechanisms is actually evidence of design, not evolution. Slow-breeding animals such as the bowhead whale are evidently not dying young through disease, further reinforcing the dilemma that Haldane highlighted.

Another problem is why natural selection (i.e., differential reproduction) over millions of hypothetical years would ever cause such longevity to evolve. There is no reproductive advantage, as evolution requires, for a mutation that keeps a creature alive long after it has stopped reproducing.

TRANSHUMANISM IS AN END TIMES SIGN

Posted on by

Time Magazine, in December of 1997, reported on Dr. Richard Seed, a physicist from Chicago who became well known for his announcement of plans to start human cloning. He declared: God intended for man to become one with God. We are going to have to have almost as much knowledge and as much power as God. Cloning and the reprogramming of DNA are the first serious steps in becoming one with God (National Public Radio). Seed’s words are not intended in any Biblical sense but to declare that we too will become as God – that we can be our own Gods. A week later, Seed elaborated in an interview on CNN, “Man will develop the technology and the science and the capability to have an indefinite lifespan. Eleven years later, he would make an even more radical statement; whereas his first statement was that we would become like God, his later statement was to become a God. ” We are going to become God’s, period. If you do not like it, get off. You do not have to contribute, you do not have to participate, but if you are going to interfere with me becoming a God, you are going to have trouble. There will be warfare. Seed’s words are not just isolated, radical ideas but part of the much larger and well-funded movement known as transhumanism (or posthumanism). While probably most in it would not proclaim that they want to become gods, the goal is the same. They are playing with the human source code in ways that are extremely dangerous. Biblical transhumanist researcher Dr John P. McTernan states, “Evolution detaches man from his creator and being created in God’s image and likeness. Man is now a free agent to tamper with his DNA under the guise of advancing evolution. Man sees himself as the captain of his own destiny. He is going to overcome death, disease, and human limitations. The only problem with this is that man is not the captain of his destiny. God is in control, and Biblical prophecy gives us the end of the story. God has given us 2000 prophecies of Jesus’ return and His coming Millennial Kingdom, and we may already be living in the last seven years before He returns.
