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.

After leading the Israelites out of Egypt, the Lord miraculously parted the Red Sea. Shortly afterward, He provided detailed plans to Moses regarding the structure of a remarkable, new theocratic government. The Lord Himself would serve as the King over His chosen people.

Friends of mine have proposed and defended the theory that capitalism is the economic system which best manifests God’s Kingdom on Earth. Although it’s certainly an excellent wealth-producing mechanism when the playing field remains level, I believe that capitalism is NOT the best we can do. It is certainly an
Some people come to believe in God because they acknowledge their capacity and desire for worship. They realize that mankind is ‘overengineered’ for this world, capable of vision-casting, innovation and harnessing natural resources for the greater good. They sense a presence of love, from others and toward others, that cannot
God is a totally pre-existent, self-sufficient Being. Psalm 90:2 – “Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou [art] God.”
The second chapter of Genesis describes how the Lord designed Adam and gave him five strategic assignments — all before Eve was even created. These conditions apply to men even today, in modern times. This instructive passage reads:
Mankind has an insatiable hunger for discovery. We delight in scientific and technological advances. The microchip has democratized access to information in the last few decades, ushering in a knowledge revolution unseen since Gutenberg’s printing press in the 1430s. Concepts may now be conceived, tested, revised, discarded and implemented in
