Evolution Resources from the National Academies In the News: Your Inner Fish – A Scientific Adventure Have you ever wondered why people look the way they do? Why our hands and feet have five digits instead of six? Why we stand on two legs instead of four? It took 350 million years of evolution to produce the amazing machine we call the human body and in Your Inner Fish, a three-part series based on the best-selling book of the same name, author and evolutionary biologist Dr. Neil Shubin looks into the past to answer these and other questions. Follow that adventure now on PBS Darwin's Insights Continue to Inspire the Academy's Work The ideas of Charles Darwin and the concept of evolution by natural selection continue to have a profound influence on modern biology – they permeate almost every area of scientific exploration. In 2010, the National Academy of Sciences awarded its most prestigious award, the Public Welfare Medal, to Dr.
Get Answers Why should a Christian ministry maintain a list of arguments creationists should avoid? As a ministry, we want to honor God and represent Christ well when we defend His Word. This means using honest, intellectually sound arguments that are based in Scripture, logic, and scientific research. Furthermore, there is little harm in avoiding questionable arguments—or, at least, stating that certain interpretations of evidence are doubtful—since there are plenty of valid arguments with well-documented evidences against molecules-to-man evolution, atheism, and the like. A final reason for avoiding flawed arguments is that it leads to faulty thinking. (These listings are not comprehensive but are instead some of the most common faulty arguments.) Arguments that should never be used Arguments that should be avoided (because further research is still needed, new research has invalidated aspects of it, or biblical implications may discount it) Common misconceptions/misunderstandings
4witness.org - For Witness to Jehovahs Witnesses and Mormons Polystrate Fossils and the Creation-Evolution Controversy What are “polystrate” fossils, and what is their significance in the creation/evolution controversy? To the man on the street, one of the most impressive arguments for an ancient Earth is the testimony of sedimentary-rock layers (many of which are thousands of feet thick) strewn around the planet. Scientists (and park rangers) subject us to examples like the Grand Canyon and present their spiel so effectively that—as we observe layer after layer of sedimentary rocks piled one on top of another—the only explanation seems to be that vast amounts of geologic time must have been involved. Each division of the rocks, we are told, represents a time that long since has passed, and an ancient world that long since has ceased to exist. Creationists, however, beg to differ, and suggest that a closer look at the “record of the rocks” suggests youth, not antiquity, for our home planet. Embedded in sedimentary rocks all over the globe are what are known as “polystrate” (or polystratic) fossils.
Creationism and the Law Legal challenges to anti-evolutionist policies began with the Scopes Trial of 1925, a case the evolutionists actually lost. Since 1968, however, U.S. courts have consistently held that "creationism" is a particular religious viewpoint and that teaching it in public schools would violate the First Amendment of the Constitution.

For guides to NCSE's collection of printed materials on lawsuits concerning evolution education, see NCSE Archives. Chapter 4 of Religion in the Public Schools: A Road Map for Avoiding Lawsuits and Respecting Parents' Legal Rights, by Anne Marie Lofaso, a professor of law at West Virginia University, contains a detailed review of the legal issues surrounding the teaching of evolution.

The Names of God "Let them praise the name of the LORD: for his name alone is excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven." Psa 148:13 In the Old Testament times, a name was not only identification, but an identity as well. Who is God to you?

Creation Science Landover Baptist Subject Archives Update: Landover Baptist is proud to announce that Jesus ordered us to rename our 100-year old facility, The Landover Baptist Center for Creation Studies, to The Sarah Palin Center for the Advancement of Creation Science Research. "Mrs. Palin shares our belief that the world was created by Jesus' Daddy, Poppa-God, in six days but has been here for 6,000 years. That alone is enough to ensure she has the vote of every single member of this church and no doubt the vote of every True Christian™ American," said Pastor Deacon Fred.

The Names of God - Jehovah-M'Kaddesh Leviticus 20:1-8 The Names of God - Jehovah-M'Kaddesh Leviticus 20:1-8 Over the past several weeks we have been looking at the various ways that God has revealed Himself to us in Scripture indicated by His names. Each name that God uses for Himself reveals to us an aspect of His character that helps us to know Him better. Elohim = God -- Creator, Preserver, Keeper of His Covenant Jehovah = LORD -- holiness (Truth revealer), righteousness, redemption El-Shaddai = Almighty God -- Our all-sufficient supply, Bestower of power, gifts, blessings, and the one who makes us fruitful Adonai = Lord - Our Sovereign God, Owner of all. Jehovah-jireh = The LORD will provide - He will see our needs and meet them. Tonight we will look at another of His names. Leviticus is the book of life, a book explaining the walk and worship of a people already redeemed. I. A. 1. 2. 3. B. 1. 2. 3. 4. II. A. (Deuteronomy 4:35) Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he is God; there is none else beside him.
