The scientific, not faith-based, evidence for ex-nihilo, instantaneous, organized creation is abundant. The 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics insist on a time when the universe was fully “wound up”. It is not eternal. What amazes me is the suspension of intellect that Darwinian evolutionists perform because of their deep refusal to believe in a supreme, creating intellect (a Prime Mover). Believing that DNA itself is a byproduct of chance and time is just outrageous. I was one of these Big Bang/evolutionist devotees for a really long time, fiercely denying the existence of God. Somehow, though, I kept my intellectual integrity, willing to entertain “foolish” creation theories thinking they would lead down a blind alley, but they didn’t. Of course, people openly scoff at these ideas, but that’s not science; it’s just juvenile ridicule.
I can’t speak for flat-earthers, but creationists have valid, scientific reasons for their beliefs.
Most of us would agree that once a vehicle has been designed and built, it’s reasonable to assume that an intelligent engineering team built it, even though we’ve never met them. Similarly, there is overwhelming evidence pointing to a thoughtful, created, finely-tuned solar system. For example, the 23.5 degree tilt of the Earth on its axis, the presence of the moon creating tidal movement necessary for a temperate climate, the Earth’s ideal distance from the sun, and the 365 day revolution around the sun all provide ample evidence of a Prime Mover. One can reasonably infer that an intelligent Creator built our solar system.

In the early church, a great disagreement arose whether one could consume meat that had been offered to pagan idols. Believers of all faiths offered sacrifices through their priests. Often the best cuts of beef and lamb were brought to the temples for this purpose. Once the offering had been
In this era man has rapidly transferred his allegiance and devotion away from God and toward himself. As in Babel, Sodom, ancient Israel, and ancient Greece, man has begun afresh to worship his own image. In a fit of narcissism, he has displaced the living God as the central focus
During His ministry, many witnesses attested to Christ’s compassionate works and selfless motives. Despite several attempts to build a fictitious case against Him, the religious authorities could not succeed. Being guiltless, Jesus never displayed a defensive attitude nor evidence of His innocence. Only when asked a direct question did He

Judicial standing is the legal right of one party to accuse another of potential (or actual) harm. To have “standing” in a court of law, one party must demonstrate a personal stake in the issue at hand. Before Jesus’ death, Satan had legal access to stand before the Lord in
In considering the merits of various economic systems, we run the risk of arguing from man’s history back to God’s intent. We may even be caught examining our historical abuse and religious mismodeling of God’s intentions and then demanding legal protection from our own foolishness. This would be deductive reasoning
