Last week I visited the Creation and Earth History Museum in Santee California. There I met Ken Ham president of Answers in Genesis an apologetic ministry. Ken Ham signed two of my books "The Lie: Evolution" and "Already Compromised". I also received a free DVD titled Science Confirms the Bible, which the museum showed after the Meet and Greet. It covers topic such as: DNA as evidence for the infinite God the basics of genetics and natural selection as they relate to biblical kinds the origin of so-called races the truth about Cain's wife evidence for the world wide Flood the actual time of the Ice Age literal vs. figurative creation days the origin of death, dating methods I definitely recommend this DVD! You can purchase it here

by Henry Morris, Ph.D. “In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good” (Ecclesiastes 11:6). In the Bible, the common occupation of sowing seed is frequently used as a symbol of witnessing for the Lord. Unlike an actual farmer, however, Christian seed-sowers are to engage in their occupation perpetually, day after day, morning and evening, everywhere they go. “Cast thy bread upon the waters,” the wise Preacher said, “for thou shalt find it after many days” ( Ecclesiastes 11:1 ). The sowing is often difficult, but is necessary, before the fruit can grow, and the promise is that “they that sow in tears shall reap in joy” ( Psalm 126:5 ).  Often others may reap the fruit of our seed-sowing labors (or we may reap the fruit of theirs), but that is all right, for Christ Himself said that “one soweth, and another reapeth” so that “both he that sowe

Chapter 2 of Defending Your Faith discusses four misconceptions that skeptics have concerning Christianity. Misconception 1: “Christianity must be proven scientifically; I’ll accept Christianity when you prove it with the scientific method.” Christianity cannot be proven scientifically. When someone tries to prove something using the scientific method, they do so by having a controlled environment, where an experiment is repeated over and over again and observations are recorded. The central claims to Christianity are the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We cannot take Jesus kill and bury him and see if he resurrects again and again. Historical events are unrepeatable. Therefore, we cannot prove historical events using the scientific method. One must use the legal historical method of proof to prove an historical event. The legal historical method of proof evaluates the written testimony, the oral testimony and the physical testimony. Misconception 2: “I ca

Apologetics is the defense of the faith, giving reasons for what you believe. Christian apologetics is presenting evidence for the validity of Christianity. After reading chapter one of  Defending Your Faith  by Dr. Mark Bird, I was kind of relieved that Dr. Bird suggested giving the gospel before apologetics. I have been trying to balance using apologetics in evangelism. I think it makes sense to present the gospel first and if the person has objections, to then answer them.  It seems that apologetics is not popular amongst Christians. However, there are many people who have objections to Christianity, which need to be answered. When we use apologetics, we are removing intellectual objections that the skeptic has between him and Christ. By answering a skeptic’s objections, we can move them closer on the road to Christ. According to Josh McDowell, there are three reasons why people reject Christ; 1) Ignorance 2) Pride 3) Moral Problem. We need to answer  everyone  who asks a reaso

The harmony between science and faith          I believe science has been redefined in our culture. When most people hear the word science the idea of millions of years, the big bang, and macro evolution come to their mind. Science however is based on observations (using one or more of the five senses) and repeatable processes to gain knowledge about the world. This is known as observational science. The issue of Creation/Evolution is the study of the past.  We cannot repeat the past because it is history. Many people are so sure that they know how life began, however they were not there to witness it. There is not one living scientist that was there to observe the Big Bang that supposedly occurred 13-15 billion years ago, nor the rock formations that took millions of years. They cannot repeat these events either. All of the evidence exists in the present. Evolution is a belief system about the past. It takes faith to believe that the universe we see today is a result of a random c

Yesterday Richard Dawkins came to San Diego to speak. Atheists and Agnostics young and old lined up with Bibles in hand (The God Delusion) to hear him. As I stood outside handing out tracts, I couldn't help but think how irrational they are. They promote reason and logic and reject organized religion. Yet, there they were gathering together to promote Atheism. Instead of addressing the issues that we brought up, they would verbally attack us: "Venom, uneducated Christians, crazy creationist, religious zealots"; these are all classic Ad Hominem attacks. They think that they are for logic, however they themselves commit logical fallacies left and right.  They think the argument is faith verse reason. It takes faith to believe in God and it is reasonable to reject His existence.  My question to the evolutionists was "How did life originate?" Most answers went like this, "There was the big bang...then primordial soap and then uhmm you know evolution!" Th

While I was at work today, I looked out the window and two Jehovah's Witness women were walking by. Last week I had talked to two other Jehovah's Witness young women in the same spot. I asked a question about Jesus' Resurrection. The young girl (Alex) did not know how to answer my question, I gave her my number and she said she would research it and get back to me. She hasn't so far. A week prior I asked the same question to a group of JW's, I gave one, my number and address and she said she would call and visit me. She hasn't so far either. It seems my past is catching up with me. A little over a year ago two Jehovah's Witnesses came by. Maricela and Zari. Maricela came every week for several months and always brought someone different with her. I knew Zari, she had worked at my cat's vet. Maricela grew up as a JW. I spent the next few months asking them questions. Until one day Maricela brought an older women. This woman Cindy, wouldn't let me ge

This Morning I was in line at a local grocery store. I always plan on giving the cashier a gospel tract. I noticed that the cashier was wearing a gold cross necklace. A thought came into my head, "She doesn't need a tract, she's wearing a cross." I told her that I liked her necklace, she said thank you. Then, I asked her "What does it mean?" She paused and said that she didn't know, it was a gift from her son. I handed her a gospel tract and told her that it would tell her what it stands for.  Just because someone wears a cross, does not mean that they are a Christian. I am glad I asked her what did the cross mean. I am hoping she will think about it today and read the tract I gave her. Hopefully, the Holy Spirit will open her eyes and understanding. Tracts are a great way to share your faith.  Witnessing to someone does not require a degree from Biola University. Go out today, hand out a tract, talk to someone, be a witness for Jesus Christ.

God’s Word has been under attack by Satan since the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3). As, Christians we know that God’s word is powerful (1 Thess 1:5), perfect (2 Tim 3:16-17) and unchanging (Psalm 119:89). But do we really believe and trust it? Psalm 11:3 reads “When the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The Gospel is the most powerful message one can hear and receive. However, the message of the Gospel did not begin in the New Testament but the book of Genesis. Genesis is the foundation to the Gospel, as well as the rest of the Bible. In fact, the greatest Bible teacher, Jesus himself began in Genesis when He spoke with His disciples on the way to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-27). “Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in the Scriptures.” Luke 24:27 NASB This is very significant. Many Christians today have rejected Genesis 1-11 as recorded history. Some view it as mythology, allegorical, anything but lite
