The Great Barrier Reef, Australia.

Parts of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia were destroyed in World War II by ships anchors and explosives. Following this, environmentalists in Australia devised an experiment to observe the rate of re-growth of the coral of the Great Barrier Reef. After carefully observing the re-growth of the Reef over 20 years, they calculated that the estimated age of the Great Barrier Reef, based on their calculations, is 4,200 years old (Quoted from Creation Ex Nihilo Vol. 8 No. 1, p.).

- If the Earth is billions of years old, why is there not an older Reef on the Earth?

- Why is the oldest corral reef on Earth only 4,200 years old?

According to the Bible:

- God created the Heavens and the Earth 6,000 years ago approximately.

- 4,400 years ago there was a world wide Flood.

- As the crust of the Earth was broken up, and water ran off the land, the geography was dramatically altered.

- Quite soon the continents stabilised, and then reefs started to grow again.

- According to Biblical teaching, we would therefore expect the oldest reef in the world to have an age of approximately 4,400 years.

- The 4,400 year old age of the Great Barrier Reef tends to confirm the Biblical account.

The Moon Is Receding From Planet Earth.

Observation demonstrates that the Moon is getting farther from the Earth by two inches every year. This indicates that the Moon used to be closer.

This causes very serious problems to the Evolutionists, because the proximity of the Moon to planet Earth controls the height of the tides.

Because of the law in Physics called the Inverse Square Law, the closer the Moon to the Earth, the higher the tides on the Earth.

The Inverse Square Law

This law of Physics states that, "The force of attraction between two objects is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them".

The Inverse Square Law proves that the closer the distance between two objects, the greater the force of attraction will be between them. Thus if the moon is only slightly closer to the Earth, the magnetic forces of attraction are dramatically increased, and the tides become very much higher.

Theoretical calculations concerning the height of the tides

- The Moon is receding from the Earth at the rate of two inches a year.

- The magnetic forces of attraction between the Moon and the Earth become very slightly weaker every year, so that, in general, tides become slightly lower on average.

- 6,000 years ago, when Adam and Eve were created, there were no tides because the Earth had not been covered in water.

- 4,400 years ago, after Noah's Flood, the tides would have been slightly higher, on average, than the tides we see today.

- However, 4 billion years ago, when, according to the Evolutionists Life created itself on Earth, the tides would theoretically been very high indeed.

- In fact, because of the Inverse Square Law, the whole planet Earth would have been completely covered in water twice a day!

- This alone would have made Evolution impossible.

Problems With The First And Second Laws Of Thermodynamics

1. The Big Bang Theory
The Big Bang Theory states that the Universe, galaxies, stars, planets arose, by chance, from a huge explosion between 5 and 20 billion years ago. We would like to make the following comments:

1. All observed explosions are destructive and not constructive.

2. Explosions cause spontaneous degeneration and not spontaneous generation.

3. All explosions decrease order and structure.

An illustrative example is that, if you blow up an aircraft factory, you do not end up with a Jumbo Jet by chance.

2. The Spontaneous Generation Theory

The Spontaneous Generation Theory states that all life on planet Earth descended from a common single-cell, arising by chance, in the "primordial ooze", 3.5 billion years ago. This contradicts the Law of Biogenesis, which states that life comes from pre-existing life.

3. Time and Space had a finite beginning

Albert Einstein published his Special Theory of Relativity in 1905, and his General Theory of Relativity in 1915.

In 1968 and 1970 three British astrophysicists, Steven Hawking, George Ellis and Roger Penrose published papers in which they extended Einstein's Theory of General Relativity to include measurements of time and space.

They discovered that time and space had a finite beginning that corresponded to the origin of matter and energy.

Hawking, Ellis and Penrose discovered that before this finite beginning, time and space did not exist!

4. The Spontaneous Generation theory contradicts the First Law of Thermodynamics

The First Law Of Thermodynamics

The First Law of Thermodynamics is often thought of as the Law of Conservation of Mass and Energy. 

Quotations from the Concise Oxford Dictionary:

Definition of Mass: "A coherent body of matter with no definite shape".
Definition of Matter: "A physical substance or material in general, as distinct from mind and spirit (in physics), which occupies space and possesses mass, especially as distinct from energy".
Definition of Energy: "The property of matter and radiation which is manifest as a capacity to perform work".

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that the sum of the following energies in a closed system remains constant:

1. Kinetic Energy

2. Potential Energy

3. Thermal Energy

Matter, or its energy equivalent, cannot be either created or destroyed under natural circumstances. To explain the origin of matter in the atheistic Spontaneous Generation model, it is assumed that matter arose from nothing.

This is in direct contravention of the First Law of Thermodynamics which demands that Matter Cannot Create Itself. Logically there must therefore have been an "Outside Agency", Who the Bible describes as God, Who created everything.


5. Evolution contradicts the Second law of Thermodynamics

In the Theory of Evolution it is proposed that "simple life" evolved into more complex life forms by Spontaneous Generation. Both Darwin's Theory of Evolution and the Spontaneous Generation model both directly contravene the Law of Biogenesis.

The Second Law Of Thermodynamics

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the disorder in a system increases, rather than decreases. The Second Law of Thermodynamics gives a precise definition of a property called Entropy.

Entropy: Entropy can be thought of as a measure of the disorder in a system. The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the Entropy, or disorder, of an isolated system can never decrease. In other words, in our Universe, a state of order progresses to a state of disorder.
For example:

- The Sun and the stars are burning up.

- The Sun is cooling down.

- The Universe is "winding down".

- Ultimately there will be "heat death" of the Universe.

In other words, everything in our Universe tends to disorder. This principle of Entropy is exactly what the Bible teaches in the following Scriptures:

Hebrews 1:10-12, "Lord, in the beginning you made the Earth, and the Heavens are the work of your hands. They will disappear into nothingness, but you will remain forever. They will become worn out like old clothes, and some day you will fold them up and replace them. But you yourself will never change, and your years will never end", TLB.

Psalm 102:25-27, "In ages past you laid the foundations of the Earth and made the Heavens with your hands! They shall perish, but you go on forever. They will grow old like worn-out clothing, and you will change them like a man putting on a new shirt and throwing away the old one! But you yourself never grow old. You are forever, and your years never end", TLB.

In the world that we observe, nothing gets more ordered in design and structure, without an input from an external higher energy source.

The Coliseum in Rome 

The Coliseum is not getting in a more ordered state by itself, but is in fact becoming less ordered, and will eventually collapse completely. 

Evolutionist claim that adding energy to a system will increase the order in that system

This claim is not borne out in observations.

- America added a lot of energy, in the form of nuclear bombs, to Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. But America certainly did not increase order in either city.

- The Sun's energy is destructive to everything on Earth except one molecule called Chlorophyll,

- The Sun will eventually burn the roof of our houses and turn the bricks to powder.

Implications of Second Law of Thermodynamics

The Second Law of Thermodynamics implies that the Universe could not order and provide energy for itself.

The order and energy observed in the Universe implies an "Outside Agency", Who the Bible describes as God.

Does It Matter Whether This Universe Was Created By God, Or Evolved Spontaneously?

Does It Matter Whether This Universe Was Created By God, Or Evolved Spontaneously?

We believe that Christians should teach only Creation, because:

1. The Bible is at stake, since the Bible supports only Creation.

2. The credibility of Jesus Christ is at stake, since He is stated to be the Creator.

3. The Book of Genesis in particular is at stake, since Jesus quoted Genesis 25 times.

Evolution is not a benign belief that can comfortably co-exist with Creation

1. Either the Bible is rubbish, so we should discard both the Bible, and Jesus Christ.

2. Or Evolution is rubbish, and we should discard Evolution, and stop teaching it as fact.

3. There is no middle ground. God could not possibly have used Evolution, as will be discussed below.

4. It says in Luke 3:38 that Adam was the son of God, not the son of a monkey!

The Theory Of Evolution.

The Theory of Evolution is discussed in great detail on this web site, in our teaching Evolution Is Impossible 

We believe that Evolution is a belief system, not a science.

1. Nobody was present at the Biblical Creation 6,000 years ago.

2. Nobody was present at the supposed "Big Bang", whether it was 20 billion or 12 billion years ago.

3. The two belief systems are about as far apart as it is possible to be, a difference of 3.3 million times in time scale alone, and a massive difference in probabilities.

4. If you asked the average child (or non-prejudiced adult) which of the two models, Creation or Evolution, was the more likely, there would be no contest at all!

5. The Theory of Evolution is outrageous to virtually everybody in Africa, India, Pakistan, South East Asia and South America, irrespective of their religious or cultural background.

6. Two thirds of the world's population believe that this planet was created.

7. There is a wide variation of opinion amongst those 4 billion people about how and when the world was created, but the cultures of approximately 4 billion people still believe in Creation.

8. University professors and teachers of Western "civilised" society believe they know better than everybody else, and are frantically trying to convert everybody else to their new religion called Evolution, all caused by a "god" called "chance".

9. In our Western First World society Creation is widely ridiculed.

10. In the rest of the world, predominantly Second and Third World societies, Evolution is regarded as absurd.

11. Evolutionists love to talk about "primitive life forms," which do not exist in the real world. If life is so "simple" and "primitive", these clever people should have no problem at all creating a "simple life form" in a laboratory. So far, they have not!

12. In the real world, all life is incredibly complex, as many scientists quoted in our teaching on Evolution Is Impossible have acknowledged.

13. Most people in Western cultures have been taught to accept unquestioningly certain principles, one of which is the Theory of Evolution.

14. The Theory of Evolution is a theory, not a fact.

15. The idea that life evolved by "Spontaneous Generation" out of nothing is a belief, and is contrary to the Law of Biogenesis.

16. No unambiguous information, acceptable in a science laboratory or a court of law, confirms the Creation of Life by means of any Evolutionary process.

17. If such information is available to you, or anyone you know of, world wide, please feel free to write your thesis, and claim your $250,000 offered by Dr Kent Hovind Click here.

18. Scientists have no clear data supporting the idea that life evolved over millions of years.

19. There is no known way to test experimentally the idea that the Origin of the Universe resulted from a ""Big Bang", or that life arose by "Spontaneous Generation."

20. Most of modern science, as taught in our Western schools and universities, is atheist when considering the Origins of Life.

21. Biblical accounts of the Origins of space, matter, time, energy, and life are considered to be "outside the realms of science." In fact the Bible is a very scientific book, as demonstrated in our teaching The Bible is Supernatural on this web site.

22. Unfortunately neither the Biblical Creation Model nor the Evolution Model can be subjected to the normal scientific experimental processes. They are both belief systems.

23. In order to have a serious discussion about either Creation or Evolution, an unprejudiced person will have to abandon concepts that Science has "proved Evolution."

24. Science cannot prove or disprove Creation or Evolution.

25. Instead we all have to make observations about our Solar system and our Planet Earth, and come to conclusions based on our observations. This does not involve the use of the normal scientific method.

26. To study both Creation and Evolution we have to use a different method, but this is the only method that is available to us. We can make observations and conclusions, but we cannot test these theories.

27. We believe that the process of actual scientific observation and conclusion very strongly supports Creation, as we intend to demonstrate.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DIE, AND HOW TO GO TO HEAVEN

Dr Richard Kent is a retired medical doctor. What happens when we die? In this teaching, Richard provides detailed medical and Biblical information about the process of death. He has researched over 300 people who have died, and have met Jesus Christ. These patients were often involved in road traffic accidents, or had heart attacks, or strokes, or died on the operating table. Their spirits left their bodies before they were resuscitated. Many of these patients report having visited either Heaven or Hell. Detailed medical evidence is presented from many medical doctors, as well as Biblical teaching on the subject. Richard also discusses the many returns from the dead in the Bible. Very clear and detailed instructions are given about how exactly to be "born again," as described by Jesus Christ in John 3:3, and John 3:7, in order to go to Heaven, and avoid Hell. For full details click here.

EVANGELISM

How to very easily speak to other people about Jesus Christ, and see amazing results! This simple method can be taught in 10 minutes, and will completely transform your church! Richard and Val have worked with many churches in many countries teaching practical evangelism. They will work with your people, in your church, entirely free! For full details click here.

CREATION: THE GENESIS ACCOUNT

The whole Universe and Adam and Eve were created by Jesus Christ, only 6,000 years ago approximately, according to the Bible. Richard gives a detailed and scientific account of the Genesis Six Days of Creation, and the young universe, exactly as the Bible says. Dinosaurs and Carbon Dating are also discussed. This is a "high tech" teaching with multiple images, but is not difficult to understand. Much of the Creation and Evolution research is based on the teachings of Dr Kent Hovind, of Florida, USA, as well as the insights of Dr Chuck Missler, USA, and Dr David Rosevear, UK. For full details click here.

EVOLUTION IS IMPOSSIBLE

Richard gives amazing information proving that evolution could never have happened. Using material with kind permission from Dr Kent Hovind, this teaching includes detailed evidence from many sources to show that evolution is completely impossible. This covers fundamental laws in Physics, such as the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, as well as observations about our Solar System, and Planet Earth. Also discussed are: Comments from famous scientists, the structure of DNA, Charles Darwin's book, "The Origin of the Species, and much more besides. This is a "high tech" teaching with multiple images, but is not difficult to understand. For full details click here.

THE AMAZING ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISCOVERIES OF RON WYATT

Ron Wyatt's amazing archaeological discoveries: Noah's Ark, Sodom & Gomorrah, the Crossing of the Red Sea, Mount Sinai and the Ark of the Covenant. This amazing information is incredibly faith lifting. Much of Ron Wyatt's original work has been confirmed by Professor Lennart Moller from Sweden, in his famous book "The Exodus Case". Lennart Moller is a personal friend of Richard and Val. "The Exodus Case" includes the work of 7 academic scientists, all of whom are experts in their fields. The Turkish government has built a visitors centre for Noah's Ark. Richard proves the Blood of the Messiah on the Mercy Seat in 9 different ways from the Bible. For full details click here.

THE MEDICAL AND PROPHETIC ASPECTS OF THE CRUCIFIXION

Fulfilled Old Testament prophecies concerning the Crucifixion are discussed, as well as the detailed medical and physiological aspects of the Crucifixion. The New Covenant is explained, with the complete fulfilment of the Old Covenant by Jesus Christ. Richard explains the Blood of Jesus Christ falling on the Mercy Seat, and proves this in 9 different ways from the Bible. This is a very detailed account of every possible aspect of the Crucifixion, with virtually every medical aspect covered from a former medical doctor. For full details click here.

THE SHROUD OF TURIN PROVES THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST!

The photo-negative image on the Shroud was caused by nuclear radiation, as recently demonstrated by Dr Accetta. We believe that this radiation was emitted at the Resurrection. The carbon dating tests performed in 1988 correctly demonstrated that there is an excess of the radioactive isotope C-14 on the Shroud for a First Century Shroud. This is interpreted as the Shroud being a fraud. However there is an alternative interpretation. Richard explains the 12 other scientific and forensic tests which demonstrate that the Shroud is the authentic burial cloth of Jesus Christ. Our own interpretation is that the excess radiation is consistent with a First Century Shroud which was present at the Resurrection, and received additional radiation at this time. The photo-negative Image was caused by the radiation, and proves the Resurrection. This teaching demonstrates the detailed research of a forensic pathologist, nuclear physicists, and many botanists and researchers from many other backgrounds. This is ground- breaking research proving the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, and is incredibly exciting! For full details click here.

THE BIBLE IS SUPERNATURAL

Richard gives detailed scientific evidence for the authenticity of the Bible, using material from many of the other lectures, as well as new material. Subjects discussed include Science and the Bible, Bible Prophecy, Bible Numerics, the Bible Codes, Creation, Archaeology, and the Shroud of Turin. For anybody who ever doubted the supernatural origin of the Bible, this is a life changing lecture. For full details click here.

WHAT DOES GOD THINK ABOUT ABORTION?

Life starts at conception, as proved from the Bible. This is a detailed lecture on life in the womb, using the material of Dr Tahira Saleem, a Consultant Gynaecologist in Pakistan, who also has a Doctorate in Divinity. The miraculous development of a baby in the womb is discussed with full colour images. Life in the womb is explored from a Biblical perspective. This teaching includes a few images of aborted babies, and is therefore NOT suitable for children. This teaching addresses such questions as "What does God think about abortion?", "When does life begin?" and "What should Christians do about this very sensitive yet very important issue?" For full details click here.

THE RAPTURE IN THIS GENERATION

Jesus Christ said we would not know the hour of his coming, but we would know the generation of His coming! This is almost certainly the generation that will see the Rapture of genuine believers, the Tribulation, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. We believe that the true church will be removed from Planet Earth before the Tribulation period, a doctrine commonly known as the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. This is conclusively proved in a very detailed Bible study. What are the multiple signs pointing to our own time period for the Rapture? This is a life-changing lecture. If the return of Jesus Christ is imminent, how should genuine believers live in the light of this truth? For full details click here.

CHRISTIANS AND MONEY. THIS IS NOT AN APPEAL!

A detailed Bible study on God's plan for our finances, with all our needs supplied. This is not the "prosperity gospel!" Richard starts with a very detailed look at the finances of Jesus Christ during His Earthly ministry, and His many miracles concerning money. How should Christians manage their finances to honour God, and to benefit as many people as possible? Richard and Val practice what they preach! They have so far ministered in 24 countries, and never charge their hosts a penny! All the material on this web site is entirely free. Richard and Val pay for all their flights, accommodation when necessary, and all incidental expenses. They work out of their own registered UK charity. If Christians truly put God in charge of their financial affairs, they will quickly discover that many people, including themselves, are blessed financially as a result! For full details click here.

WE HAVE A MIRACLE WORKING GOD!.

This teaching looks at miracles in the Bible, including detailed studies of the miracles of Jesus, Elijah, Elisha, and Zachariah. Richard and Val have had a number of miracles of their own. Val was blind in one eye after a retinal vein thrombosis, but now has perfect sight. They have had many other miracles, and they give full details of them. More importantly, they give detailed Biblical guidelines for receiving your own miracle. For full details click here.
