Today's Creation Moment

A twelve-year developmental study of over one hundred youth revealed that progressive, permissive parenting styles yield poorer academic and emotional outcomes. In contrast, parents who enforce clear behavioral limits while offering strong emotional support produce teenagers who are more stable and less prone to substance abuse. These scientific findings perfectly mirror the authoritative yet supportive parenting style commanded in Scripture. For more creation resources, visit https://creationmoments.com

Evolutionary theory predicts that complex organisms develop more genes than simpler ones, but the mapped genome of the common fruit fly contradicts this hierarchy. The fruit fly possesses roughly 14,000 genes, whereas the supposedly simpler, evolutionarily ancient roundworm features over 18,000 genes. This discrepancy supports the creation model, showing that genetic complexity is tailored to specific environmental survival needs rather than evolutionary progression.

The carbon-14 dating method developed by Willard Libby requires calibration against historical artifacts, but it lacks reliable calibration markers beyond 5,000 years. Libby himself noted that early Egyptian dates were likely calibrated five centuries too old, a discrepancy that actually aligns with the biblical Exodus timeline. Because of these foundational limitations, carbon-14 dating carries severe and unrecognized problems for ancient dates. Image: Willard Frank Libby in Lab, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons.

Dr. Dean Kenyon, a prominent evolutionary scientist and author of Biological Predestination, underwent a paradigm shift after reading a book by creationist biochemist Dr. A.E. Wilder-Smith. Unable to counter Wilder-Smith's scientific arguments, Kenyon realized that creation offered a more rational alternative explanation of the past that better supported the data. He subsequently rejected evolution and became an international spokesman for creationism. Image: The books Biochemical Predestination and The Creation of Life.

Altruism poses a significant puzzle for materialistic evolution, which relies on the selfish survival-of-the-fittest principle to explain traits. The white-fronted African bee-eater demonstrates self-sacrificing behavior by defending others from predators and delaying its own family to help raise peers' young. These actions challenge evolutionary genetic theory and instead mirror the Creator's commandment to love one's neighbor.

Standard dating methods suggest that stalactites take a century to grow one inch. However, stalactites up to five feet long have grown in the basement of the Lincoln Memorial at a growth rate of an inch per year. This rapid growth serves as a powerful testimony against naturalistic, long-age evolutionary stories. Image: Basement below east terraces, 1991, Lincoln Memorial.
