History

If you suffer from high blood pressure you're certainly not alone. The incidents of high blood pressure, or hypertension, are on the increase. To combat this problem, doctors can prescribe several types of medication which lower blood pressure by different mechanisms.

Extra-Biblical historical records testify to the ancient nations beginning as family units from Noah's descendants. This powerfully supports the Bible's history, especially the reality of the world's population 'restarting' after the Flood of Noah.

Fossils provide remarkable support for the Bible's account of history, beginning with creation and including a global flood. This week we focus on some fossils that are very difficult to fit into the 'millions of years' timescale, but fit wonderfully with the Bible.

What is the evidence for it? Where does it fit into Biblical history? What caused it? Tune into this weeks' episode for the answers.

Many people scoff at the idea that all humans descended from a woman called Eve only thousands of years ago. But geneticists actually endorse a similar idea, known as mitochondrial Eve.

In 2001 a fossil skull found in Chad electrified the world's scientific community. Nicknamed 'Toumai', this creature supposedly lived when the human and chimp lineages allegedly split, making it the oldest human ancestor ever found.

Abraham's life left a legacy in many different ways, but have you ever stopped to consider the legacy of his Y chromosome?

Dinosaur fossils are often found in an unusual posture, characterized by their head thrown back, hind-limbs bent and tails extended. Over the years scientists have proposed different theories to explain this puzzling phenomenon.

In nature documentaries and science text books, one often hears about creatures that arrived at their body plan very early in evolutionary history and have not made any real changes since that time, supposedly millions of years ago. These are called 'living fossils'—like the coelacanth and the Wollemi pine. This phenomenon is known as stasis, things staying pretty much the same. And it turns out that pretty much every animal in the entire fossil record appears suddenly and shows this same history of stasis. This was not predicted by evolution!

Creation magazine is a 56-page full-colour family magazine that is an essential tool for anyone wanting to 'immunize' their family against the anti-biblical worldviews bombarding us from all sides. With no paid advertising, every page of Creation magazine is full of powerful articles, ammunition to intelligently discuss nature, history, science, the Bible, and related subjects.

Over three chapters, the book of Genesis vividly describes a worldwide flood that began with the all the fountains of the great deep bursting forth, and the floodgates of heaven being opened.

Have you ever stared at something and thought about how God created every single atomic particle in it—from nothing— and designed the mechanisms and forces by which the particles would bond together to form materials? The power and intelligence of the Creator are astounding!

The final question in CMI's '15 Questions for Evolutionists' flyer asks why evolution, a primarily religious idea about history is being taught as science. Science involves observing how things work in the present, not speculating about origins. So neither creation nor evolution are strictly "scientific".

Science involves experimenting to figure out how things work; how they operate. Question 14 in CMI's '15 Questions for Evolutionists' flyer asks why evolution, which is a theory about history, taught as if it is the same as this operational science?

Where do cavemen fit into Biblical history? Based on their evolutionary beliefs, atheists believe most cavemen were primitive brutes on the way to becoming fully human. From the viewpoint of biblical history, after the confusion of languages at the tower of Babel as people spread out they would have lived in a variety of homes made of mud, stone, wood, tents, or in caves. The Bible describes a number of 'cavemen'. In Genesis, we find that Lot was once a 'caveman' (after he fled Sodom). When David ran from King Saul, he lived in a cave. And Job mentions people who lived in caves also. Thus, you would expect evidence all over the world that skilful, talented and fully human people have lived in caves at various times.
