Luke 1:37 “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”

‘At first glance, jellyfish may not look like much of a creation. Many are quite beautiful. However, most jellyfish simply look like blobs of jelly, so fragile that what might be a minor blow to one of us could prove fatal to them.

There are around 500 species of jellyfish. They live everywhere in the oceans – from the surface down to great depths. Some are as small as a BB. The largest jellyfish is the lion’s mane, which can grow to seven feet in diameter and have tentacles 200 feet long.

Despite their apparent simplicity, these insubstantial creatures make their living by capturing and eating fish and crustaceans that could easily tear them apart. To accomplish this seemingly impossible task, the jellyfish trails out its long thread-like tentacles. Each tentacle can have millions of capsules loaded with tiny harpoons. Once touched, the tentacles fire, injecting several deadly toxins. If enough toxin is injected, the victim’s heart stops. If not enough of this poison is injected, another toxin finds its way to the brain where it stops respiration. Yet another toxin bursts red blood cells, disrupting the circulatory system. Thankfully, only a few dozen of the hundreds of species of jellyfish can hurt human beings.

Imagine trying to design a creature that is not much more than a bag of Jell-O that can capture and subdue much larger and more powerful creatures. The jellyfish may look simple. However, its specialized design for a seemingly impossible task makes it an elegant witness to our Creator.’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/catching-bigger-stronger-and-faster-prey-2/?mc_cid=451be53bcd&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c

INCHWORM STRATEGY

Job 38:36 “Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?”

‘Some creatures simply try to look uninteresting to hungry predators. Others take their role-playing so seriously that they actually fulfill some of the same roles as their models.

Loopers, or inchworms, move along the ground, twigs or branches with the characteristic opening and closing of an upside-down letter U. These creatures are not true worms. Rather, they are caterpillars. As caterpillars, they often look very much like the twigs or branches on which they move. However, their odd form of movement can give them away.

Here’s an experiment you can try. If you ever notice a looper on a branch, simply give the branch a gentle tap. Chances are, the looper will suddenly freeze into the same shape as a nearby twig. If you were to carefully touch the looper, you would find that it had become as stiff as a twig. A botanist reports that while studying one looper moving along a branch, an ant happened along. Ants, of course, will eat loopers. The looper froze in a horizontal position between branches. The ant walked across the looper, never noticing that its walkway was actually a potential meal.

Many scientists suggest that the looper “just happens” to be the same color as the branches on which it crawls. We ask, does it also accidentally know how to act like a twig to fool predators? The almighty hand of God is evident even in the inchworm!’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/inchworm-strategy-2/?mc_cid=e01ef49d2d&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c

Science or Religion

Psalm 111:10 “The fear of the LORD [is] the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do [his commandments]: his praise endureth for ever.”

‘Many people have been taught that evolution is science and creation is religion. However, the origins debate is really a debate between two religions. According to the evolutionist’s own rules of science, evolution is not good science. Consider the claims of evolution in view of what science knows today.

Life has never been seen to develop from nonliving materials. Yet, evolutionists say it did. Mutations, said by evolutionists to have created all the kinds of living things, have never been seen to produce one creature that was more complex or better able to survive. The moon has moonquakes, a magnetic field and internal heat. These are all indications that it is far younger than evolutionists care to believe. Geological strata were at one time sediments in water – floodwaters. Evolutionists believe that the multiple layers of sedimentary rock were laid down one after another by local floods with millions of years between each flood. If that is true, how is it that these strata are often found showing the lower strata blending into the strata above it?

If language evolved, why are the most ancient languages the most complex? If religions evolved, why do the most ancient forms of religion worship one God – a Creator – while later forms of the same religions have many gods – gods who are much more like human beings?

Many more examples show that only the Bible’s account of history makes sense in view of what we know.’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/creation-makes-better-science-3/?mc_cid=45671eabed&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c

The Impossible Gene?!

Acts 20:32 “And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.”

‘Biologists have recently discovered a gene that suggests that God may not be above playing a practical joke on those who reject what His Word says.

Those scientists who believe that natural forces made everything, including you and me, think that we have inherited all that we are. However, the Bible says that all living things reproduce “after their kind.” Thousands of years of experience in selective breeding have shown that plants and animals always reproduce after their own kind. Not only is every known example of a mutation harmful, but living things resist attempts to change them too much.

Geneticists have discovered a genetic basis for the Bible’s statement that all creatures reproduce after their own kinds. Keep in mind that “species” and “kinds” are not necessarily the same. Fruit fly studies show that when some species of fruit fly try to mate with other species, the resulting offspring are either sterile females or die before maturity. In one instance, however, some males survive to adulthood. The so-called “rescue” gene that allows this to happen weakens the general health of the males. Carriers of the gene are sterile. This leaves a huge mystery for evolutionists. Think about it. Parents that carry this “rescue” gene don’t benefit from it. Offspring that inherit it can’t pass it on. As one evolutionist said, how could this possibly have evolved?

Living things do reproduce after their kind, just as the Bible says. In this instance, God has found a way to do this that challenges the very basis of evolution.’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/the-impossible-gene-2/?mc_cid=db11b41308&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c

The Spider and the Fly

Exodus 15:11 “Who [is] like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who [is] like thee, glorious in holiness, fearful [in] praises, doing wonders?”

‘One would never expect to find any insect sharing living arrangements with a spider. That’s why scientists were amazed to find a tiny fly in the rain forests of Central America who shares both room and board with a spider!

The fly spends most of his time on the back of the golden web spider, who does not seem to object. This spider does not deal with its victims in the same way most spiders do. When a large insect gets caught in the tough web of the spider, the golden web spider injects the victim with digestive juices to prepare it for eating. The fly keeps track of meal preparations from the spider’s back. Just before the meal is liquefied to the spider’s satisfaction, the fly buzzes over and drinks its fill in a few seconds. By the time the spider approaches lunch, the fly is back napping on the spider.

Both the spider and the fly are designed with special features to make this most unlikely arrangement work. If the golden web spider’s eating habits were like most spiders’, there would be no liquefied meal for the fly. The fly itself has a mouth that is specially designed to allow it to drink a full meal in seconds. This helps keep him out of the spider’s way.

How can a spider and a fly live together? God can design a solution to any problem. Why design an arrangement between a spider and a fly anyway? So that we would know there is a Creator and that He can meet any challenge! There is nothing you cannot take to Him in the name of His Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/the-spider-and-the-fly-2/?mc_cid=abacf37b1f&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c

Ape to Man? Really?

‘If human similarity to apes is evidence that an apelike creature evolved into man, why aren’t the vast differences between man and ape accepted as evidence that man did not descend from apes? The human nose is totally different from that of primates; man’s lips are formed differently; apes have thumbs on their feet, while men do not; man’s head is located at a different position on the spinal column, and human babies are far more dependent upon their mothers at birth than apes. 

Even more physically perplexing is the fact that apes have a bone in the male’s reproductive organ, while the human male makes use of an incredibly complicated hydraulic system. How could anyone reasonably conclude that the bone in an ape’s reproductive organ slowly evolved into mankind’s complex hormonal/hydraulic mechanism by some step-at-a-time mutational process? If the bone disappeared before the human system was completely in place, the apelike creature would not be able to reproduce and survive. Since apes have no difficulty reproducing, why would the human hydraulic reproduction system have ever evolved?

Dr. John C. Whitcomb observed that “While the physical differences between man and primates are quite great, the spiritual/mental/linguistical/cultural differences are little short of infinite.” It is extremely poor and superficial science to conclude that some apelike creature evolved into mankind.’http://www.searchforthetruth.net/

Not a Problem for a Creationist

Genesis 7:21-23 “And all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth, and every man: All in whose nostrils was the breath of life, of all that was in the dry land, died. And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.”

‘Previous writers and presenters of Creation Moments have often talked about fossils. But it is often useful to go over familiar ground again, especially if it is of foundational importance. Evolutionists tell us that fossils are evidence of evolutionary change. Nothing could be further from the truth. As creationists, we find that fossils make much more sense with a biblical explanation.

Fossils are dead. Since there was no death in the world until Adam’s sin, fossils cannot predate that sin. So, when humans were created, there were no fossils. Fossils are a worldwide event, and most of them appear to be of creatures that died rapidly and catastrophically under water, being covered with water-borne sediment. Such a formation is best understood as happening because of the worldwide Flood.

Some of the larger fossils – such as dinosaurs – are found buried in contortions, which looks like the last throes of death; this is consistent with sudden death caused by the Flood. Most such fossils are also found in assemblages, or bone jumbles. We tend to forget these last two facts when we see careful reconstructions of standing dinosaurs in museums. Many fossils closely resemble modern, surviving creatures, so that the fossil record illustrates not change, but stasis or – in the case of those creatures we do not find today – extinction.

Far from being a problem for creationists, fossils are our allies, and we can be confident that a biblical explanation for their formation is the most effective.’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/fossils-and-the-flood/?mc_cid=2e116164ee&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c

Has the BIG BANG Gone Bust?

Psalm 136:4-5 “To him who alone doeth great wonders: for His mercy endureth forever. To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth forever.”

‘As our knowledge about the universe grows, the big bang theory looks increasingly unlikely. Deep space X-ray observations in 1990, along with other observations, showed that the universe is “lumpy.” These “lumps” – such as huge structures like quasars and galactic clusters – already existed early in its history. This contradicts one of the primary so-called “proofs” for the big bang: the background microwave radiation. This radiation seems to be smooth and even, so there shouldn’t be any “lumps.”

To solve this problem, big bang believers invented “cold dark matter.” Cold dark matter is sort of an invisible genie. The gravity of this invisible stuff is supposed to have transformed the smooth, even big bang into the lumpy universe we see today. Now several eminent scientists have rejected the cold dark matter theory. The authors of the latest report on the subject had been some of the strongest supporters of the big bang theory. Jeremiah Ostriker, chairman of the astrophysics department at Princeton, told a reporter, “This would be like a conference of theologians saying there is no God.” Ostriker calls himself an “agnostic” on how to make the big bang theory work.

Robert Wilson, co-recipient of the 1978 Nobel Prize for his work on the big bang, said, “I don’t know how many people actually would have sworn on a stack of Bibles that cold dark matter existed, but this sort of closes off that avenue.”

If these men would take the Bible’s message for what it is, God’s message to them, they could forget the big bang theory and thank their Creator for His forgiving love in Jesus Christ.’https://creationmoments.com/sermons/has-the-big-bang-gone-bust-3/?mc_cid=2af9c01f6d&mc_eid=00c1dcff3c

Evolution is a lie of the Devil! Most unsaved people have fallen for it and sadly many professing “Christians” have as well. If you are one of those previously mentioned here is another video from Creation Moments that just might make you rethink your evolutionary position.
