The violent volcanoes of Io - Tries to claim that there are problems for the old age viewpoint of Io, but it doesn't present any solid evidence. Makes a claim based on the temperature of the lava, saying it must be ultramafic lava, and this heavy material would have sunk to the core. Two points...1) we don't know the composition of the lava, and 2) claims that silica-rich lava is normally 1,200°C at most. There is no reason why you cannot heat silica lava to hotter than 1,200. The author is making assumptions without the evidence to back it up.
Geological excursion at Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland - CMI hosts a visit to Giant's Causeway, to hear the YEC explanation for the geology of this area. The explanation is no threat to an old earth understanding of this region, and is not accepted by any geologists (aside from YEC theoretical geologists).
Vestigial organs: An idea destructive to medical science and our health - Daily feature for Saturday. This is a reprint of a March 1998 article from Creation magazine. For a more balanced, thorough reading, see the Wikipedia article.
Institute for Creation Research
Unlocking the Origins of Snake Venom - Because YEC's believe snakes did not have venom in Adam's time, they must come up with a way to explain how it developed after the Fall of Man. It is a YEC argument from necessity, not from actual evidence. The author uses a new scientific study to argue for the YEC position.
Creation Today

Old Earth Articles (the articles listed below may be pro-evolution, anti-evolution, gap theory, etc. Old Earth Ministries (OEM) strives to serve all forms of old earth belief)
Evolution: Seeing Isn't Believing - From the progressive creationist ministry Reasons to Believe, 15 December. Although evolution is contrary to RTB's model of progressive creatioinism, it is not contrary to the Bible, which sort of makes arguing against evolution a moot point when it comes to creation. We are not saying that evolution is true or false...only that you can accept it or reject it, and still be ok from a theological perspective. The author says, "For the evolutionary paradigm to be true, macroevolution and chemical evolution must be unequivocally established. And they simply haven’t been." From a theological perspective, it doesn't matter if it's true or not. If you believe in evolution...good for you. If you don't...that's fine too.
What Does it Mean to be "Pro-Science"? (and Why it Matters for Space Exploration) - From the theistic evolution website BioLogos.
Saturday Science Links - From the theistic evolution website BioLogos.
A Flock of Genomes Reveals the Toothy Ancestry of Birds - From The Natural Historian.

Did you know that you can be a Christian,
and believe that the earth is billions of years old? You can even
believe in evolution and be a Christian. There is no conflict
between science and the Bible...all one needs is a proper
understanding how to merge science and the Bible. To learn more
about old earth creationism, see
Old Earth Belief,

Can You Be A
Christian and Believe in an Old Earth?
Feel free to check out more of this website. Our goal is to
provide rebuttals to the bad science behind young earth creationism,
and honor God by properly presenting His creation.
