The subject of the creation of the universe and everything that implies is divided into two camps, the scientific and the religious. Most Christians believe the book of Genesis describes how God created the universe, not in allegorical terms, but is specific in the details provided. Most scientists see it as simply a matter of science and would rather religion stay out of the issue. How about both camps recognizing that both groups are seeking the same thing, THE TRUTH.Genesis and the Big Bang Revisited

ShareSearching for "Proof" of the Soul
Two of the greatest mysteries of man: Does the soul exist and what is time?
Are they related? I didn't think so until I began writing a paper on time and in the process of attempting to explain what time is I realized that I had stumbled onto evidence of the existence of the 'soul', or an entity that is separate from the physical body that we think of as "us". The argument for that hypothes...Who Are They, Evolutionists, Theistic Evolutionists, and Anti-Evolutionists?
The most controversial topic in the ongoing battle between fundamentalist Christians and the scientific community today is the validity of evolution. When Charles Darwin first published "On the Origin of Species" in 1859 it was welcomed by the science community but was immediately attacked as anti-bible by members of the church and religious groupsQuantum Entanglement: A 'Type' of "The God Connection"?
When God created the universe and the laws of physics, did He leave a 'connection' with all particles and forces within it?
Biblical scholars and theologians are fond of studying events in the old testament that they call "types and shadows'. These are events that are similar to, and are prophetic of, other events to follow at a later time. Joseph in Egypt was a 'type' of Jesus i...Fine-Tuned Earth Part II: Comparing to Drake's Equation
Did God fine-tune the Earth for life as we know it?
In my previous post on "Was the Earth Fine Tuned For Life?" I posted an equation for estimating the probability of another planet anywhere in the universe having life similar to earth's. The value that I calculated for that occurrence was approximately ONE occurrence in over a QUADRILLION. A commenter responded that I should compare my equ...Was the Earth Fine-Tuned for Life?
Was the Earth Fine-Tuned for Life?
The argument for Intelligent Design is based on the idea that the conditions necessary for life are too perfect to have occurred naturally, and the complexity of DNA is so great that there must be an intelligence behind the creation of the earth and all life.
Lets look at the earth and the variables involved that must be "just right" for life to exist, apart fr...Is DNA Proof of Intelligent Design?
I confess that the idea for this post came from another post that I was commenting on, and I realized after it was frozen that there was an argument here that demands further scrutiny and an answer.Who Are They, OEC's and YEC's?
There are Creationists, OEC"S, YEC's, Theistic Evolutionists, and just plain Evolutionists, as well as Atheists, but who are they really, and what do they believe. Pastors preach from the pulpit that you can't believe in Creationism and Evolution at the same time, but do they really understand the difference. This post, and following posts,are intended to clear up any misconceptions of what the two groups believe and why.Is Earth AGAIN The Center of The Universe?
I came across a news item in the USA Today website, dated August 18, that got my attention. It concerns "Dark Energy", the mysterious force that seems to be speeding up the expansion of the universe, that no one can find or explain. "Let There Be Light", Why God Didn't Create Evil
I have always been fascinated by the subject of "light". It was the first "substance" created by God. It is mysterious in that, science cannot explain what it is, except to say that it consists of a massless particle/wave called a photon, and always travels at the same speed. Einstein built his General Theory of Relativity around it, and his formula, E=MC2 contains it in the form of C, the speed of light.What Was The Forbidden Tree?
What Was The Forbidden Tree?
By Allen Epling
The book of Genesis describes the most traumatic event in man's history in chapter 3, when Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. This is the moment when Man fell from God's grace and was told he would have to survive in the world outside of Eden on his own, without God's help.
Many questions have come up over the centuri...Why Evolution Fails in the Origin of Life
Evolution is a process that appeals to many atheists as an explanation for how we got here because it seems to eliminate God from the process. When Darwin proposed it 150 years ago He initially meant only to explain scientifically the process of how animal species change in time to adapt to differing conditions that allow them to survive. As the theory became accepted within the scientific community, people of faith realized that there was a conflict between his theory and the accepted biblical version of man's origin. Science and religion has been at odds ever since over this conflict.Does Genesis 1:1 Describe the Big Bang?
There are Old Earth Creationists, Young Earth Creationists, and the scientists, all who have a different version of how the universe was made. Genesis 1:1 says "In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth". Is there any connection in the first passages of Genesis that could be interpreted as supporting the science view, which is "The Big Bang"?Was Adam the First Man?
WAS ADAM THE FIRST MAN?
By Allen Epling
Bible scholars and theologians call him Adam and scientists and evolutionists call him "Australopithecus". The question remains, who was the first man?
The answer depends on who you ask, but it goes further than that. Its possible that there is an explanation that allows both...Divided We Fall

Can You Believe in Evolution and be a Christian?
By Allen Epling
If you want to get a Fundamentalist Christian riled up, just mention that you believe in Evolution. Immediately he will assume that: 1. you're not a Christian, 2. you don't' believe in God, and 3. you believe that all life is an accident of nature. How is it then that many faithful, believing Christians do believe in Evolut...Are Heaven and Hell Real?
Are Heaven and Hell Real?
By Allen Epling
I watch the History Channel a lot and some of my favorite documentaries are the ones concerning biblical history. One such "doc" dealt with heaven and hell and gave the development of the concept of the two places throughout our history. There is too much "history" to go into that here, however Jesus gave us much to think about in his "Kingdom of...Does String Theory Confirm the Bible?
Does String Theory Confirm the Bible?

While much is being said about Creationism Vs Evolution, and the debate goes on concerning who is right and what should be taught in our schools, a quiet revolution has been taking place in an area of science that is seldom discussed in public. Yet the theories being advanced from leading scientists about this subject suggest that man...The Six Days of Creation: Fact or Fiction?
The Six Days of Creation
By Allen Epling
Much discussion has been made of the description in Genesis of all things being made by God in 6 days. For 3 millennia the standard view of this was that the time period was 6 earthly days. It has only been in the last 20 to 30 years that serious consideration has been given to alternative theories of what those passages mea...Why are Christians Afraid to Ask Questions?
Why Are Christians Afraid To Ask Questions?
By Allen Epling
I recently wrote a blog asking "Is the book of Genesis accurate? I received a comment that basically said, "How can we have a relationship with God if we doubt His Word?" The writer of the comment took my question as a statement of doubt.
I was simply trying to get Christians to think about their faith.

The Validity of the Bible: Part One
By Allen Epling
While working on a book that I was writing, I felt the need for an example to use that would confirm the validity of the Bible. I had always felt that there were truths in the book of Genesis that were discernable yet were not obvious. I found the following verse to be the perfect example that I was looking for....The Great Debate: Genesis or Science?

This Weeks Topic: The Two Creations
The debate between the academic Left and the Fundamentalist Right has reached a pinnacle in our schools and in the media concerning how man came to be created. Recently a school superintendent in Texas was not hired back because he supported the Creationist view. This argument has polarized our society to the point that we sometimes see neighbor against neighb...About this blog
