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.

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
From its opening moments, set in the Persian palace fifteen centuries ago, the story of Nehemiah immerses us in a tragic tale. The visitors from Judah finish their report by describing the terrible conditions in Jerusalem:
Early in the Gospel of Luke we find a familiar story where Mary and Joseph are frantically searching in Jerusalem for three days, looking for their 12-year-old son Jesus. Finally finding Him in the Temple, speaking with the elders, the boy asks his parents, “Why did you seek Me? Did
All of human history has been witness to man’s vain attempt to set up civil, economic and religious power centers to satiate an unyielding hunger to rule — to fulfill the original Dominion Mandate by perverse means. Without acknowledging God, man is still compelled by this invisible and ancient motivation
(2/3) As the fourth chapter of his Gospel comes to an end, Mark reports that Jesus launched a short missions trip from Capernaum, which lies on the northern edge of the Galilean Sea. Overnight, His team travelled to Gadara, at the southern point of the Sea, 14 miles away. The
