A Summary of YEC/OEC Website Activity
8 May 2015
Creation Science in the Media
This section lists articles that appear in newspapers, magazines, online news sites, and in television.
Give Rep. Butler an "I Love God" badge and drop anti-evolution bill - Al.com (Alabama Media Group)
Alabama lawmaker: My bill protects kids from learning 'they came from a monkey' - Rawstory. Also see the article below in the Old Earth section.
Primate Witness: The Monkey Trials Go On - from Morning Star (UK)
Answers in Genesis
Defining "Love" - The next in the AiG series on Hebrew words. Not creation science related (from 8 May)
Blind Crustaceans Missing a Bit of Brain Said to Show Evolution in Action - AiG puts the YEC spin on a claim of evolution in action (from 7 May)
Noah's Study - In this Ark Encounter blog, a sneak peak is given of a display on the ark, which shows Noah has his own 'study room'. It comes complete with the modern day idea that offices should have portraits of family members, wall hangings of pictures, a bookcase, and even a pet bird. Since the Bible does not tell us anything of the interior of the Ark, this is all make believe on the part of AiG.
Creation Ministries International
More secular confusion about the moon's former magnetic field - From 8 May. Naturally, there is going to be uncertainty about the field, since it's not here for us to study today. CMI confuses this uncertainty for evidence against an old moon. This is a common YEC tactic. When scientists don't fully understand something, YECs claim that they are confused, thus the simplist answer is to reject the uncertain science, and believe in a young earth. However, this is like finding a single needle in a haystack, and then claiming that it's really a stack of needles...they ignore the massive amounts of evidence for an old earth in favor of a single, uncertain piece of science.
What does the Bible really say about homosexuality? - From 7 May. Not related to creation science.
Institute for Creation Research
A Cosmic 'Supervoid' vs. the Big Bang - An anti-Big Bang article. Reports on the recent news article about astronomers finding a large void in space, and attempts to use Big Bang arguments (which they don't believe in) to disprove the Big Bang. They conclude that Christians should reject the Big Bang since its unbiblical...despite the fact that it is very much Biblical.

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

Christian and Believe in an Old Earth?

provide rebuttals to the bad science behind young earth creationism,
and honor God by properly presenting His creation.
