Evolutionists argue that nature displays “bad design”—from junk DNA to vestigial organs—proving evolution rather than creation. But does this argument hold up? Dr Jonathan Sarfati examines why claims of poor design often reflect misunderstanding or ignore crucial trade-offs, why some organs deemed useless actually serve vital functions, and how deterioration since humanity’s fall explains apparent imperfections. Through compelling case studies like the human appendix—long dismissed as vestigial but now recognized as essential to gut health—discover why design “flaws” may reveal brilliant engineering we’re only beginning to understand.

Worldviews, Logic, & Earth’s Age - Part 2
For 1,800 years, the church unanimously affirmed a young earth—until Enlightenment deists and atheists introduced deep time concepts that originated outside Christian theology. This dramatic shift has cascaded into theological novelty, affecting core doctrines and weakening the church’s witness.
Why do Christians seek accommodation with naturalism when history shows such compromise leads to heterodoxy? John K Reed and Shaun Doyle examine how the old-earth paradigm represents a fundamental worldview conflict between Christianity and secular naturalism.

Worldviews, Logic, & Earth’s Age - Part 1
Can Christians embrace an old earth while maintaining biblical faithfulness? This challenging question strikes at the heart of competing worldviews. Logic demonstrates that deep time belongs naturally to naturalism, not Christianity, creating fundamental tensions for believers who accept billions of years.
The argument reveals how old-earth theories align perfectly with naturalistic assumptions about reality, knowledge, and history. Meanwhile, Scripture's creation-fall-flood narrative, biblical chronology, and core doctrines like divine providence point consistently toward a young earth. Written by John K Reed.

Is Ignorance Bliss?
Why do people reject biblical creation despite compelling evidence? Through a conversation with bikers in Scotland, we explore two types of ignorance that keep people from accepting God’s truth about origins. Some genuinely don’t know creation science exists, while others willfully ignore it to avoid accountability to their Creator.
The big questions of life—where we came from, why we’re here, and what happens when we die—receive vastly different answers depending on your worldview.
