• Speciation (yes, it happens, but it is limited to variation within the created kind)
• Genetics (‘mitochondrial Eve’, ape vs human DNA, gene duplication, genetic engineering, cloning, longevity of patriarchs)
• Information theory (including DNA) (information defined, claimed new information)
• Probabilities (could life arise by chance? What about computer simulations of evolution?)
• Quantum Mechanics and Thermodynamics (how the laws of thermodynamics contradict naturalism)
• Vestigial organs (including ‘junk’ DNA)
• Homology and Embryology (Haeckel’s fraudulent concept, plus similarities due to common design)

History

• Archaeology (archaeology and the Bible, from the Flood to New Testament times)
• History (including biblical chronology, genealogies, origin of deep time beliefs)
