For 1,800 years, the church unanimously affirmed a young earth—until Enlightenment deists and atheists introduced deep time concepts that originated outside Christian theology. This dramatic shift has cascaded into theological novelty, affecting core doctrines and weakening the church’s witness.
Why do Christians seek accommodation with naturalism when history shows such compromise leads to heterodoxy? John K Reed and Shaun Doyle examine how the old-earth paradigm represents a fundamental worldview conflict between Christianity and secular naturalism.

Worldviews, Logic, & Earth’s Age - Part 1
Can Christians embrace an old earth while maintaining biblical faithfulness? This challenging question strikes at the heart of competing worldviews. Logic demonstrates that deep time belongs naturally to naturalism, not Christianity, creating fundamental tensions for believers who accept billions of years.
The argument reveals how old-earth theories align perfectly with naturalistic assumptions about reality, knowledge, and history. Meanwhile, Scripture's creation-fall-flood narrative, biblical chronology, and core doctrines like divine providence point consistently toward a young earth. Written by John K Reed.

Is Ignorance Bliss?
Why do people reject biblical creation despite compelling evidence? Through a conversation with bikers in Scotland, we explore two types of ignorance that keep people from accepting God’s truth about origins. Some genuinely don’t know creation science exists, while others willfully ignore it to avoid accountability to their Creator.
The big questions of life—where we came from, why we’re here, and what happens when we die—receive vastly different answers depending on your worldview.

Why I Believe in Biblical Creation
What happens when scientific certainty collides with Scripture? One believer’s journey from awkward confusion to confident faith reveals the hidden assumptions behind evolutionary theory.
Can Christians safely embrace theistic evolution, or does this compromise lead down a dangerous path? Discover why accepting “deep time” might be the first step toward complete rejection of biblical truth and how literal interpretation of Genesis resolves scientific mysteries.
From software engineer to creation advocate, Ari Takku challenges believers to examine what they truly accept as divine specification versus human interpretation.

Evolution Cannot Tame the Hero Shrew
The hero shrew of Congo possesses an extraordinary spine that can withstand a full-grown person standing on it, yet remains flexible enough for the animal to turn completely around in tight spaces. This remarkable backbone defies evolutionary explanations with its unique interlocking vertebrae and specialized muscles found nowhere else in nature.
Scientists have struggled to explain how such complex engineering could arise through gradual evolution. Despite discovering what they claim is an evolutionary intermediate, researchers still cannot identify the specific behavior that would drive such dramatic spinal modifications. The Mangbetu people have long marveled at this creature's incredible strength, but modern science continues to search for answers about its origins and purpose.
