CSW is back after a two week hiatus - Since one person runs OEM, sometimes my day job and home duties overwhelm me. I apologize for the delays, and appreciate your patience.
Creation Science in the Media
This section lists articles that appear in newspapers, magazines, online news sites, and in television.
Ark Park Moves Forward Without Tax Incentives - Cincinnati Business Courier. The lawsuit by AiG is still pending. You can also visit the construction site, for $20.
Public Schooling Hurts When You're Not in the Majority - Washington Examiner. Refers to Louisiana's schools and creationism.
Why Did Dinosaurs Die? Because, Creationism, Google Search Says - Social News Daily
In Louisiana, Students Read the Book of Genesis in their Science Classes - ChristianToday
Answers in Genesis
Ark Animal Cages - AiG claims that research has been ongoing for several years to determine the number of animal kinds on the ark, for their ark exhibit. Actually this has been going on for 50+ years, ever since the advent of the modern YEC movement. If they can shrink the animal species to fewer numbers, they think they can fit them on the ark. Old earth creationists, on the other hand, don't have this numbers problem. They would only have taken their domesticated species, and possibly those wild species in the immediate area of the local flood.
Why Did God Create Apes with Human Features? - This is a response to some reader feedback.
Ark Encounter Site Now Open to the Public - AiG invites its supporters to come and see the progress on the ark.
Creation Ministries International
Dr Lawrence Krauss says people should doubt evolution! - CMI takes on one of its atheist critics.
Stars - A primer for stars for YEC believers. They present irrefutable evidence for an old universe, yet if you 'interpret' the science the right way, you can still hold onto a young universe view.
Desert Varnish Grows Much Faster than Geologists Admit - An odd title...since this article reports on a study by geologists who admit to a faster growth rate. However, this growth is from an area where there is a man-made alteration to the deposition environment. The YEC authors mention this, as an old earth "rescuing device', but dismiss it.
New South Pacific Island Shows Fast Forming Geology - Yes, catastrophic geology is real...we find examples of it throughout the geologic record of billions of years. While you can form land quickly, not all geologic processes are fast. They are pulling a piece of straw out of a haystack (removing it from its context), and ignoring the rest of the hay which proves the earth is old.
Institute for Creation Research
Colorful Dinosaur Eggs Challange Deep Time - ICR claims pigments can't last millions of years. However, they don't present any tested scientific evidence to back up their point...they merely claim its impossible.
Dinosaur Thighbone Found in Marine Rock - While interesting, it proves nothing. Dinosaur bones are frequently found in stream and river deposits. A bone could have been washed into the ocean, or the dinosaur died on a beach, and the bone was washed out to sea. The article gives the standard YEC statement...it had to be buried quickly.

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

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.
